20 April 2024 - T3 Games ![Avatar](/res/png/avatar/surprise.png)
Burleigh Brawl
T3 Games events are a slug to get to (I shouldn't complain as I know some north side players have a longer drive than I do), but they are always enjoyable. I've now come to realise that the Gold Coast meta is way different to the Brisbane south side meta.I decided to change up the Drothrek list to drop Gotrek, and include an Auric Runesmiter on Magmadroth, Knight-Incantor, Runic Fyrewall as well as the Emerald Lifeswarm. I also relaxed my Grand Strategy back to Masters of the Forge. The idea was to have 2 invocations out in case the Molten Infernoth decided to release itself in the fifth, and the Knight-Incantor was there just for Magical Dominance as well as the Emerald Lifeswarm, and maybe a sneaky Blizzard if I was lucky.
Round 1 No Reward Without Risk - Corey Bennett (Hedonites of Slaanesh) - 24-27 Loss
Round 2 The Icefields - Johan Grove (Gloomspite Gitz) - 16-26 Loss
Round 3 Power Flux - Ashley Chapman (Sons of Behemat) - 12-20 Loss
Surprisingly I managed to keep the score close against Hedonites of Slaanesh, even with all the Blissbarb Archers. Shalaxi held two Magmadroths at a distance behind the Fyrewall for too long. The Gloomspite Gitz battle ended pretty much how I expected it would. It was a bounder build, so I again had no answer to the mortals on charge not triggering my splash damage. Sons of Behemat threw me as it had Brodd in the list which I hadn't been against before, and Brodd was a priest... fun.
Overall, fun day. Even though it was a 0-3 loss, it was a good information dump for some factions I don't usually go against. As I mentioned, it was a surprise with the Hedonites result as I haven't gone up against many in the past year, but I knew what I was in for, so I guess I had a plan, and it worked to an extent. Ended up getting Grand Justice Gormayne as a lucky door prize, which has now enabled a joke idea that I had discussed only moments prior... painting an entire Flesh-eater Courts army in a weekend.
