Battle Box Game: Khador VS Cryx

Good day Komrades. Over the weekend i was able to sneak in a battle box game in between shifts at work. Having Painted the new battle box i got at lock and load i was excited to get it out on the field. Below lists what is in each battle box.

Khador: Lord  Kazlov, Juggernaut, Decimator

Cry: Bane witch Agathia, Deathripper, Reaper, Slayer

So we had a zone in the middle that we had to have at least one model in by the end of the second players second turn. this was to promote pushing forward and not just kiting each other. The victory conditions being to kill each others Warjacks or winning by Caster kill.  Being Outnumbered did have me worried.

 Cryx won the roll off going first and Agithia cast Hellwrought on the Deathripper and advanced. The jacks ran already reaching the zone. The speed of Cryx jacks is pretty scary.

kazlov puts fury on the juggernaut, chosen ground on himself and Tactical support on the decimator. Both jacks ran, the decimator failed to completely get in the trench and the juggernaut ran trying to hide behind the forest.

Cryx Deathripper runs and is able to get LOS to the juggernaut. The reaper and slayer run better position themselves for next turn. Agithia arcs parasite through the Deather Ripper at the juggernaut but unfortunately rolls double 1's to hit.

Kazlov Upkeeps Chosen ground and fury. Sensing it was now or never kazlov feats and charges the reaper. With a massive swing of his axe and being able to decide where the damage goes he destroys the Reapers right arm. The decimator charges the reaper too taking out its left arm and movement  though was unable to destroy the hell jack. The juggernaut tramples through the forest and buys a few attacks on the slayer not doing much damage.

Agatha Feats to better position her forces and to give herself stealth then moves into the zone. With  high arm from unyielding the Helldiver, Slayer and Reaper are unable to put any serious damage to my jacks.

Kazlov drops chosen ground and charges the Reaper finishing it off then side stepping towards the Slayers back arc. Unfortunately this triggers a free strike that does a whopping 11 damage to kazlov.  Now gaining the back strike bonus kazlov puts more damage into the slayer. The juggernaut loaded up on focus then wipes out both the slayer and the Deathripper resulting in a khador victory.

Wow that was an interesting game. Im sure had the Parasite spell gone off the combined might of the slayer and death ripper would have taken down my juggernaut next turn. Also i think Agatha played too far back this game. If she had charged my Juggernaut Deathshroud would have lowered my arm by two negating my feat.  I always feel the Khador battle box has an uphill struggle against the others since it only consists of 3 models so the idea of piece trade goes badly for me, though having both my jacks at arm 22 means my opponent has to get a lot of work done just to get one down. Being able to Pre measure everything was very handy and removed a lot of potential mistakes and just seemed to allow for action packed turns with minimal delay.

So i hope you enjoyed my first bat rep. Next time these two castors face off we will increase the points beyond battle box. Also this sunday coming il be Darksphere in London taking park in a MK3 50 pts tournament. So till next time keep bringing axe to face!
