| We had 23 players today and pulled a whopping 9 Aspects. It was crazy.
My band consisted of some decent synergy, as in all but 1 piece were Dragons or Spawn.
Aspect of Tiamat, Redspawn Firebelcher, Greenspawn Razorfiend, Whitespawn Hordeling, Small Copper Dragon and Ogre Skirmisher
7 activations, 498 pts. Needless to say I felt pretty good going in to the first round. Then I see....
Rd 1
vs Aspect of Bahamut, Greenspawn, Ogre Skirmisher, Storm Archer, Small Copper Dragon, Clawfoot guy - King's Road
I managed to get 1st round assault pts, and prevent my opponent from doing so. I also managed to drop both line breath weapons on Bahamut, which he failed on both, quick 90 damage. Next round Bahamut moves up and attacks Tiamat while my Skirmisher and his Exchange blows. Tiamat attacks 3 times and hits all 3, dropping Bahamut to 100, then another breath weapon AND failure, so 55hps remaining. Firebelcher burps on the Bahamut, and it's 35 left for Bahamut. Another round of assault, this time for both us. He wins init again, routes my Skirmisher (who rallies later) and moves up and attacks Tiamat again. Then it's game over, as my Redspawn burps again for 20 and then Tiamat has to hit 1 out of 3 attacks to kill Bahamut, and does so. After that it is just cleaning up the remainder. Final score ended up being 511-49.
1-0
2nd round
Vs Curt on Teleport Temple. Curt had craptastic huge pulls, and ended up running a Purple Worm and Huge Spider, along with a Cadaver Collector. On teleport temple, Tiamat was too much and both his huges failed morale. Cadaver Collector is cool, but breath weapons can mess him up. Also all but 1 of my minis was immune to the paralysis.
2-0
3rd Rd
vs Eldritch Giant, Epic Mounted Blackguard, Dread Warrior x2, Azer and other - Field of Ruin
I managed to collect assault every round, and breath and burp the Giant to death. Eventually I won an initiative and based the Blackguard and then it was pretty much game over, as Tiamat had only 15 damage taken by then and was immune to 5 of the 20 that the Blackguard can deal (and I was 2 rounds from winning on pts)
3-0
4th Rd
vs Ron and his Epic Tordek and Huge Spider - Teleport Temple
Let's just say when Tordek fails 4 of the 5 breath weapons, it's not a good time. There was one round with Tordek at 35, that had he won init, he likely wins as Tiamat was at 110 remaining and Tordek (40 x2) and the magic weaponed Spider in base to base. I however won, and killed Tordek and got the spider down to a manageable number, and eventually killed it.
4-0
5th Rd
vs Robyn and a basic mirror match, Tiamat, Redspawn, Ogre SKirmisher, Warape, fodder - Teleport Temple
I killed her support except for a Hyena. She killed all mine but the Greenspawn and Small Copper. I won the last init, with her Tiamat at 50 and mine at 70. I hit all 3 attacks and that's the game.
5-0 and 1st place. At that point it was called a day and I happily took my 2 boosters
Eldritch Giant/Mounted Blackguard in one
Magma Hurler/Huge Fiendish Spider in the other
Good times were had by most. | |

| Here is my report for my crapastic day.
I played:
Sorcerer on a Black Dragon
Epic Slaughterstone
Redspawn Belcher
The Gnoll Captain - Commander 2 (can't remember his name)
Storm Archer
Hunting Hyena
Tavern Brawler
Teleport Temple
I also pulled a Displacer Beast Pack Lord and, in hindsight, I maybe should've played him for the Conceal 11, but with 2 epics already included it was impossible.
Round 1:
Played against Sorcerer on Black Dragon, Purple Worm, Meepo and a few others. Played on Teleport Temple. This was this person's second time playing, so he didn't fare well. His purple worm routed off the board by the 3rd round and then it was just clean up time on the Sorcerer. I don't think I lost a piece.
Round 2:
I played Ron and his Epic Tordek band. We played on his map, Field of Ruins. I brought the black dragon over to one side and was able to get an electricity line off to hit Tordek for 10. 2nd round he immediately charged with Tordek to hit me for 50. I backed out and took and AoO for another 50 and put a maximized scorching ray on him for 45. When I backed out, I parked the Sorcerer between the edge of the map and the boulder there and then moved my slaughterstone and my belcher to block access to the Sorcerer. Since the spider was on the other side of the board, it took him a couple of rounds to bring him over to assist Tordek. 3rd round starts and my Slaughterstone is in melee range of Tordek and helping to block with the belcher. I win initiative. I use maximize scorching ray for 45 more dmg to make Tordek test. He passes. I then use the slaughterstone to make 4 attacks. Miss, Miss, Hit, Miss. He moves up, attacks the belcher, who's out of command, and he routes. Next round, he moves up and hits the Sorcerer again to take him to 45 HP. I move the Slaughterstone up to attack Tordek again. Miss, Hit, Miss, Hit. Sorcerer can't take anymore AoOs, so I use my 3 attacks. Miss, Miss, Miss. Belcher makes his morale save now. By then, the spider is in play and hitting my slaughterstone, but by then, it's pretty much game over if I can't win initiative. He wins, kills the Sorcerer. Tordek ends the fight with 15 hps. Crappy rolling ruins the day for me, again.
Round 3:
Played against Bahamut, non-epic slaughterstone, cleric of syreth, small fire elemental, and a few others. Played on Teleport Temple. I start on the side that has the scoring area just on the other side of the wall. I send my small guys to the north and my big guys to the south. He wins second round initiative and teleports Bahamut onto the corner teleport and breathes on Slaughterstone and Blackdragon, both fail. I make my dragon immune to cold damage and the slaughterstone makes his attacks, missing 1. Round 3 starts and now he breathes his cold cone on me and hits my all 3 of my big guys. Slaughterstone and Belcher fail. Belcher does make morale though. Belcher dies on my opponents second activation. Slaughterstone proceeds to miss 2 more attacks. Sorcerer scorching rays Bahamut. Next round I lose my Slaughterstone and his Slaughterstone bases my Sorcerer and hits him. At this point, I'm 10 HP from morale save, under command. So I take the AoO, his slaughterstone hits me and, before I even roll, I call it...he's going to fail morale. I roll a 2. I quit at that point because I've had enough frustration for 1 week.
I dropped after that went home to spend my time doing things that were more fun, ya know like bashing your head against a wall. As I suspected, if you didn't pull 1 of the 2 Aspects, you didn't have a chance. And judging by the mass of reports, it turned out to be true. | |

| | Yes, it was a craptastic day as I pulled the purple worm, spider and then the half blood sorcerer for some synergy on the poison. However, my first 2 rounds I played aspects of tiamat + spawn, that are immune to paralysis and tiamat is immune to poison. Drop after that as I was tired of playing against aspects.... | |
