SPORE Con : “Pop Feat and Attack Idiot!”
First the key fact, played 3 lost 3, 1 on caster kill (Vlad A) , 2 on army kill (Shae / Vlad B). Two of the games were close, the third was a massacre, in games one and three I popped Rhyas Feat…and then moved on to the next model, forgetting to advance her, never mind attack with her, which in Hordes is devestating as all my beasts ended up horribly over extended and then dead. In the one game I did get it right I cleaned up quiet merrily and ended Invisble. Worked great. Battle group wise, Archers just sucked , I needed melee fighters with Rhyas not archers, Harriers did okay both as solo killers and getting in the way. Seraph rarely did well and was nailed fast, and as I didn’t face a Hordes faction the Forsaken was just a side show model that did nothing apart from die, okay first game he killed a couple of pirates.

As I’ve never used or fought against Vlad before it was a shock to face him and the never changing “Blood of Kings” , “Signs and Portents” and assign one focus offensive. Makes the eVlad “hand of fate” spell look pretty weak in comparison… oh and seeing the Behemoth run 16 inches across the board and then fire was bloody scarey!!! Note to self : Buy Vlad before going home!
.
Tournament winners were Skorne (Zaal) beating Cryx (Deneghra) in the final. I came a solid last! No regrets though it was great fun and well over 200 people showed up at the Con playing all kinds of games as well as DnD 4e that just launched on the 7th. Next tournie is tentaively planned for November.

Okay, I stopped in and got Vlad, sorry no Epic Nemo available and no Kodiaks either, though I have got Strangeways for Kris. Back to Vlad… I knew there had to be a caster around that stopped Khador Jack’s from being knocked about and knocked down by ranged attacks all the time… and so there is. Angus is really going to dislike Vlad.
