I really needed to rack up some wins if I wanted to get into a WTC team, so this time I approached the tournament in a different way. I took 1 safe list, that I knew was powerful and for which I had a good idea of its good matchups, and take 1 list that I was interested in trying out. The theory being that I could drop the latter when I felt comfortable to do so, or I was already losing too much anyway. In practice however, this just meant that I played the former all day...
Asphyxious 4 CID testing
I participated in the recent CID that had Asphyxious 4 and tested him twice. For those that missed them, or don't participate in CID, I figured I might as well put the repots up on this blog as well.
4 rounds of jank
I've had another tournament, a 2-day event. Unfortunately, due to a conflict in scheduling, I couldn't attend the final round on the second day. No biggy, I'll just take whichever lists I feel like and grind out some games. As I've now played Denny 3 a bunch of times, I did want to explore Asphyxious 3 a bit more, so needed a new pair for him.
Of pigeons and pirates (feat. Hellbringer and Helljacks)
Introduction Played in a Steamroller on Sunday and decided to take the Deneghra 3 list for another spin. I paired it with Asphyxious 3 because I feel that, in the current meta, the only things that really grind through Ghost Fleet are Wurmwood and Retribution (read: Tridents) In the end, the latter was mostly a … Continue reading Of pigeons and pirates (feat.

Asphyxious the Sanctified
So, the new, long awaited, CID cycle for Convergence of Cyriss has finally begun, and there are some Cryx goodies! I don't know CoC that well, so this will be written mostly from a Cryx point of view.
Paris Masters
The Paris Masters were last weekend and I jumped at the opportunity to pump out a bunch of games (6) over the weekend. The event required fully painted lists, so I took my WTC lists for one last spin before they will retire, at least for a while.
Denny 3 and the spooky pirates
Now that the WTC is over, I want to focus a bit more on other casters again and the first one that caught my eye is Deneghra the Soul Weaver. Mortality is still great in the current meta and even though I feel the Revenants were overnerfed during the Black Fleet CID, I think she would theoretically do great in Ghost Fleet.
pre-WTC games
I did play some more games in the week before the WTC, but didn't have/make time to post about them before. This'll be mostly from memory and some minor notes, so bear with me.
Void Archon
So, we haven't gotten a lot of new models lately, I think it's just Rahera, technically the Hermit of Hengehold, and the incoming Riot Quest Necrotech guy, so I wanted to talk a bit about the Void Archon, which was fully spoiled the other day on the Developer Hangout.
Cryx goes to The Bokur Brawl
I got a request to cover the lists of The Bokur Brawl in the same vein as the WTC, so I was happy to oblige. For an event so small, I'm pleasantly surprised about the spread of casters.
