Also!

With Cancon on the Horizon it's time to be Super SYRYS about our lists and practice so we don't embarrass ourselves. 

Masters is 3 lists on the Deathclock, 

So every time we play, it has to be deathclock, you have to bring 3 lists and you have to think seriously about using and practising all 3 lists!

Also take the chance to write up your lists up here and your thoughts and we will see if we can make them a little better, OK? 

My lists as of Current:

Epic Irusk +5

Juggernaut- 7

Sylys- 2

Max Iron Fangs + Black Dragons UA- 10

Max Iron Fangs + Black Dragons UA- 10

Widowmakers- 4

Mortar- 3

Alexia and the Risen + Valachev- 7

Great Bears- 5

Iron Fang Kovnik- 2

Iron Fang Kovnik- 2

eEyriss- 3

This list is for smashing armour. Iron Fangs, Great Bears, eEyriss and Battle Lust will deal with most of it in short order.

Fire For Effect on the Mortar is great at picking out harder enemy units and solos at long range. Tactical Supremacy should go on the Iron Fangs Early on to give them Scenario Speed (11" Shieldwall). I have the feat to take care of things like Charges that breach my models armour and Shieldwall that makes it hard to crack mine. Against Protectorate I have the armour cracking and Control to grind the game out in general and Harby does not like that Mortar and Widowmakers. 

Alexia picks up Corpses and with Valachev I can cast Battle lust on her and her whole unit. She can take down colossals single handedly with that. 

The Jugger is cheap, bonded for Def 12, no Knockdown, and with Energiser he can get to interesting places and take down heavies more expensive than himself.

List 2:

Vlad 1- +5

Behemoth- 13

Max Kayazy + UA- 10

Max Outriders- 9

Max Rifle Corps- 8

Mortar- 3

Mortar- 3

Aiyana and Holt- 4

Kovnik Joe- 2

Gorman- 2

Tinkerer- 1

This list is mainly an Anti- Cryx list, but really I don't mind Vlad 1 against most comers. The amount of guns with Signs and Portents he can put down the field is scary. Anyone who doesn't look like they want to be shot for 3+ turns shouldn't want to face Vlad. I will rely on doing the most work I can with my guns as the opponent arrives, with using Kayazy to Block enemies who start getting to close (I can shoot into melee with Kayazy with Aiming, Boosts and Signs with the Rifle corps and if I still miss I won't hit the Kayazy).

Gorman is there for when my opponent brings up their heavies. If I can't deal with them in one round with Behemoth I can Black Oil them and shoot them up until they are soft enough.

List 3: Vlad 2:

Vlad 2- +5

Beast-09- 11

War Dog- 1

Max Outriders- 9

Max Iron Fangs + Black Dragons UA- 10

Kayazy Eliminators- 3

Kayazy Eliminators- 3

Doom Reavers- 6

Doom Reavers- 6

Harlan Versh- 2

Iron Fang Kovnik- 2

Saxon Orrik- 2

This is mainly a list to try and combat Assassination casters. Vlad is good at avoiding many assassinations through his own stats and bonuses when he gets damaged, as well as the sheer distance he can place between him and the enemy through the time he gains from his feat.

Doom Reavers with the feat are absolutely amazing at doing lots of work with a 14" threat range, and the Kayazy Eliminators can be put in a place that I can tell an assassination caster to deal with them or if they fail to kill me that turn, then they *will* die. (Mat 12 Pow 14 boosted damage attack rolls will do that to a person).

*These lists are still in flux, mainly Vlad 2. I like the other 2 but more testing till show whether they can come up to muster or not.*

No collossal aye

[Errius Maximus]

SUPER SYRYS BRIAN!!1!!11!!!!eleven!!!.



Also, the main reason for no colossal is that I don't want to carry the damn thing. 

Also, In Australia there isn't really so much of a colossal Meta. In my last 2 Cancons I've faced 2, both Krakens. Conquest is fantastic at killing other colossals, and not very good at killing anything that isn't a colossal.

Heads up Masters is full.

Ok here are my lists for cancon and I want to practice.

E Haley
Thron
Stormclad (bonded)
Squire
Gun mages+officer
Stormnlade+officer+weapon attachments
Alexis and the risen
Anaitaisa di bray
Gorman
Rhupurt
Journeyman
Stormblade captain

Ok I played this list a couple of times and I'm happy with it and it is a standard ehaley list

2nd list
Estryker
Ol'rowdy (bonded)
Lancer
Squire
Black 13
Horgenhold forge guard max+ captain Jonas Murdoch
Swordknights Max
Alain runewood
Peiryss
Captain maxfell fin
Journeyman
Madelyn corbeau
Ragman
3 stormsmiths

Ok so the idea here is to run every thing up and desperate pace the forge guard as they are threat range of 11 inches then the lancer is there to spam rebuke to there units + for flank for the swords knights making them weapon masters and pow 12 because of positive charge. then have acrane shield on the swords knights that making them armour 21 against range units and the forge guard are armour 20 against range (because of defence line place defection) ragman is there to help with any armour problems and the stormsmiths are there to disrupt jacks so I can get the first strike I think it is a solid list.

3rd and final list
Ecaine
Hunter
Squire
Main tempest blazers
Max boomies
Max forge guard
Lady aiyana and master Holt
Rangers
Arlan Strange ways
E eiryss
E alexis
Journeyman
Rhinholt
Taeyn do rovissi

Put highend reflexes on the boomies so 4+ tough and no knockdown is great. Blur on the tempests making them def 18 against range and run them up the board to take out support or just get in the fray. Arcane shield on forge guard making them armour 21. Lady aiyana to support the Whole team and Holt to do what he does best (shoot things) e eiryss to get rid of the buffs and the ranges for rat 11 Caine who can shoot 6 times then gate crasher back to safety. Strange ways to power the hunter. Taeyn so no caster or warlock can hide. E Alexis for the collecting souls and making thralls or making units flee from hell fire. I think is a good list but had no practice so it is all theory.

I like the lists just pumped for cancon have a lot of painting ahead as well. I have other list I would like to try but I'll see how I feel about these ones.

[Errius Maximus]

Good lists, Cameron. I'll talk to you more about them tonight.


Now it all depends how many people we have with us. 

At the minimum we have Ryan, Brian, Cameron and Myself. 

At the usual place we go to, It's a little interesting since unless we want to snuggle up like the best of sex friends, its having 5 beds of 2 Queen beds and stuff.

If its just the 4 of us, it will be around $300 each for all 4 nights, a little expensive but its a nice place to hang out and that's not a bad price for 4 nights. We can make it cheaper if we get another person with us, so if Dylan is interested or someone else wants to come then we can cut the price down a bit. 

We should do this soon, so yeah, lets get this organised ASAP.

[Ryan]
