50SS Leveticus (daniello_s) vs Lilith (Gavin)
Deployment: Standard Deployment
Strategy: Turf War
Schemes: ALITS, Breakthrough, Bodyguard, Plant Evidence, Frame for Murder
Gavin brought:
Lilith (7SS pool)- Beckon of Malifaux, Wicked Mistress Barbaros - Rapid Growth
Teddy
Baby Kade
Sorrow
2x Terror Tot
Cherub
I took:
Levi (4SS pool) - Desolate Soul, To the Earth Return Rusty Alyce - Desolate Soul, From Aether 2x Hollow Waif Lazarus
Ashes and Dust Hodgepodge Efiigy
Abomination
Gavin picked Frame for Murder (Teddy) and Plant Evidence (announced).
I picked Frame for Murder (Ashes and Dust) and Bodyguard (Rusty) (not announced). Here I've made first mistake - since I took A&D I should go for Plant Evidence rather than Frame for Murder or if I took Frame for Murder I should pick less obvious model than A&D.
Since we had Turf War and Lilith has Tangle Shadows and Illusionary Forest I knew it won't be easy game, but 'job has to be done' as every Outcast master used to say :D
The table was set up like that:
The centre of the table will be marked with lovely red 'teddy' marker - you will have to notice that on the next photos :D This graveyard area had walls of Ht2 so we agreed that models with Ht1 and Ht2 can't climb through the wall and there is no LOS to them.
Turn 1 - crews are ready for action:
This turn generally we have approached towards centre line. One Tot sprang behind the wall but unfortunately for him Levi was able to double Walk to aim at him with Unmade. Despite having hard cover I was able to kill him (Channelling rules!) and I summoned Abomination in his place. poor Abomination didn't last long but bought me some time. Rusty dropped scrap marker.
Upkeep phase - no VP points for either side Score after turn 1: Leveticus 0 - Lilith 0
Turn 2 - you can see remains of summoned Abomination (scrap marker), Barbaros with Defensive Stance on him and Lazarus + A&D preparing to hit Barbaros hard.
During the draw phase cards told me big no-no. The highest card I had was 8, then 7 and then everything between 4 and 1... I spent SS to get extra two cards - got 1 and 3... I really hoped for good flips...
Gavin moved his Sorrow towards centre point, same with Barbaros and Lilith. Tot sprinted towards me but remained hidden behind the wall. He pushed Abomination with Lilith towards her so it was left on the last wound. Lilith also casted Forest in front of Teddy and Kade to screen them from Rusty. Barbaross duck behind the wall and took double Defensive Stance.
I tried to hit kill Teddy with Levi but i only damaged him badly. Rusty re-posiotned and took single shot on Tot with miss. Lazarus used rapid fire on Barbaros with no success. I charged Barbaros with A&D hurting him a bit. In this moment Gavin figured out I might have Frame for Murder on A&D...
Rusty luckily summoned Abomination from the scrap marker.
Upkeep phase - Lilith +1VP for Strategy; Score after turn 2: Leveticus 0 - Lilith 1
Turn 3
Gavin won imitative and moved Barbaros behind the house (out of Levis LOS) and took double Defensive Stance. In return I moved Levi and charged Barbaros. During first attack - Gavin flipped Black Joker and I flipped severe damaged - enough to kill Barbaros (even damage prevention wouldn't save him at this moment) and summon Abomination.
Gavin killed my Abomination. I charged Cherub, killing him and summoned another Abomination!
Lilith killed that poor construct and used Tangle Shadows to jump in contact with Teddy. Then he casted Forest closer to Rusty and rooted Rusty with her last action. Teddy took Walk towards Rusty and hit her but missed. Lazarus killed Tot. Sorrow dropped scheme marker on my half of the table close to the terrain area.
Upkeep phase - Lilith +1VP for Strategy; Levi +1 VP for Strategy; Score after turn 3: Leveticus 1 - Lilith 2
Turn 4
Due to the shortage of time it was the last turn we could play that night.
I won initiative and in desperate attempt to save Rusty I charged Teddy with Levi - killing him summoning next Abomination. Unfortunately this action gave Gavin +2VP for Frame for Murder. I sacrificed newly summoned Abomination to get in base contact with it and used last action to shoot Kade (3 wounds inflicted). Kade charged Levi but missed and suffered wound from Unmade dying in process :D
I moved my models closer to the Lilith. She moved and dropped another scheme marker. I shot her with Lazarus but only inflicted 3 damage in total.
That was the end of the game.
Upkeep phase - Lilith +2VP for Frame for Murder, +3VP for Plant Evidence ; Levi +1 VP for Strategy, +2VP for Bodyguard;
Final Score : Leveticus 4 - Lilith 7
If (big IF as I would really depend on who won initiative) we played last turn I might have a chance to get a draw (5-5) but that would require killing Lilith (with 7 wounds remaining and 4 SS) and remove one scheme marker.
Anyway I really enjoyed that game. Levi was a monster as usual and I really, really don't like Lilith and mobility and Illusionary Forest :D
Till next time!
