WTC Solo Master!

View From the Eagle's Nest,  the venue.

This year, the WTC ran a solo master tournament next to the real WTC ream tournament. As I had not been playing anything other than p and eMadrak, this is what i opted to go with. Together with jarl, they set out towards Poland to bring home the win!

For the Jarl list, I decided to go rather shooting oriented. Bomber, Horgle, Impaler, Pyre, Slag, warders and Fenns, I believe.   

The Outflank Outattrition battle. 

Game 1
Convergence and axis on the opposing side. A lot of dudes. So i fielded my lot of dudes. We duked it out, attrition wise until one side was left. Fortunately for me, my side was the one left. And I won, yay!

The brick outnumbers another army. Like first time ever. 

Game 2
Cryx and Mortenebra. She had many jacks with her, scenario was destruction. Perfect opportunity to back tech to pMadrak. I bricked it up an moved into the zone. Warders destroyed a stalker with their "mat" 11.

After getting another stalker to Madrak and failing to kill him, def 16 arm 20 with mulg coming after it, my opponent realised that Madrak prevails and meet his inevitable demise with the British cool temper we all know and love. A good start to the tournament.

Forecast says it is going to be a cloudy day. 

Game 3
Menoth and high reclaimer. Seeing as Jarl is usually a good menite drop, he got the chance to prov what he could do. But let me tell you a story about a feat and a spell that is that feat. It was cloud city and nothing to shoot at! Sad faces on the Bomber, impaler, horgle, the slag troll and the pyre troll. Saddest of them all was Jarl.

I needed some luck with me this game as I switched up the tactics and went for a scenario win on balance of power. All i needed to do was to clear out some idrians that had been knocked down in the zone to start with a 2 point lead while flanking toward my opponent's flag with horgle to threat his caster. This would draw out his army and not make him able to smoke of the bastions, if they went into the zone much more.

However, the piper is a thing and after five tough rolls, the zone was still occupied by the dazed and confused idrians as before. I also got of a magic bullet to the piper himself to get rid off the horrible music he was playing. But fate decided sevens was to much on two dice thus game. Lost it on attrition in the end. Блять.

Aurora is thinking about going for some CP.

Game 4

Cockvergence again. This time with Aurora. eMadrak got to see the field again and attritioned the hell out of her on rally point. The game.ended with a caster kill when aurora tried to go for some control points but was crit slammed by the impaler and killed with a fell caller spray. Being yelled to death.

Game 5 on close quarters

Game 5
Mercs and Durgen, i think. This was day two, and I wad very hung over. VERY. The only list I could play was pMadrak, as the it the least models and the most straight forward tactic.

Sure foot is good against the earthbreaker. My opponent did try do assassinate me but his shooting was not very effective, as they say in Pokemon. Mulg to the face is super effective. That pretty much sums the game up.

Gotta love cryx on incursion. This cryx army was
awesomely painted.

Game 6
Cryx and floaty orb with ladies. First time i faced them. They brought a lot of jacks. Incursion was the scenario, and I knew that dropping pMadrak would be rather bad, but seeing as I had to use my hands to keep my head up and not move miniatures, I chose him any ways.

I got outflanked pretty hard end lost on scenario in the end with only a minute or so remaining for my opponent. Perhaps I could have made him time in some way by running things to contest, but i do not really remember.

This is what the poles think of Arkadius new tier.

Summary

Anyways, a really fun event and many new acquaintances were made. I will definitely be going next year if I have the chance. I think it went rather well for me, i think that if I would have dropped eMadrak against menoth and Jarl agains the last cryx instead, things would have been better. But, it was a learning experience!

The event was very well organised, good and uniform terrain, able judges, and good food.

The only thing to complain about is that there was no painting required on the Solo masters. But, that was the only thing I could complain about!
