Vanessa
Johana
Desperate Merc
Performer
Eoghan picked Power Ritual and Breakthrough (both announced)
I picked Protect Territory (not announced however I should
) and Power Ritual (announced).After deployment it looked like that:
First turn it was mostly positioning, dropping scheme markers for Power Ritual and Protect Territory and preparing for general onslaught.
However in second turn Levi was able to shoot Ash Viki i dropped her life to 3 wounds. I was able to restore her health (2 wounds remained) and in return I jumped out and killed one Waif. Blood Viki positioned herself to make a quick kill in the next turn as I was hoping to seize initiative and jump both Sisters on Abomination, Levi and nearby Rusty (I have hand fool of medium and high masks so I could trigger loads of Whirlwinds) - see photo below with charge being prepared
Johana and Merc run on the far side of the table to drop scheme markers (and then claim markers).
As usual, despite burning the soul stone to re-flip initiative I failed and Ash Viki died of Levi's charge and summoned abomination in her place (2x severe damage thanks to channelling). Then Levi hit Blood Viki for 4 wounds and buried himself... Cheeky bastich... Well, Blood Viki was completely pissed off so she charged two abomination the way she would be in hard cover from Rusty (both abominations died in process). Johana and Merc drop Claimed markers, Lazarus approached them and fire once hitting Johana (3 damage). performer positioned herself to lure Lazarus away from Waif. One abomination dropped scheme marker on the far side for Power Ritual scheme.
Upkeep phase: Viks 1VP for stake the claim. Score: Viks 1 - Levi 0
On turn 4 I won initiative! Yay! I decided to wreck havoc and Blood Viki killed abomination and Rusty Alyce (Whirlwind and Joker for damage on Rusty!!!). In retaliation Levi killed Blood Viki but I was OK as she dragged his attention for long time and killed enough models herself. Then Levi jumped in the base contact with Abomination in the centre sacrificing poor construct.
Vanessa positioned herself to claim VP points for nearby Scheme Markers (Protect Territory) and took defensive stance Merc charged nearby abomination (who dropped claim marker this turn) but did only marginal damage and Johana positioned herself to slain this abomination next turn and dropped scheme marker needed for Power Ritual.
Upkeep phase : Viks 1VP for strategy. Score: Viks 2 - Levi 0
On turn 5 Vanessa shot Levi with no result and took defensive stance again, Levi and second abomination dropped claimed markers, Merc and abomination traded some blows but with no effect. Lazarus came closer and Performer tried to lure abomination out of Merc but with no success.
I flipped 9 at the end of the turn so game was over.
Upkeep phase: Viks 3VP for Power Ritual and 2VP for Protect Territory; Levi 1VP for Stake the Claim and 3VP for Power Ritual.
Final score: Viks 7 - Levi 4
General observations:
- sling-shot is a must against Levi. With Waif being safely positioned and Rusty's charge denial ability it is the only way to harm Levi and his minions really, really hard
- Levi is a monster... Channelling is even worse
- I need to grab 1 or 2 Void Wretches as the objective runners. Desperate Merc is cheap and generally OK but a bit to slow
