First turn

Stupid grey Scythean

I run up aggressively but fail to kill a Scythean in the zone post feat turn and I don't score enough points, I go for a late assassination to try and close it out but am unable to nail Thagrosh.

Assassination Loss!

I feat a turn to early although I get the Seraph, a bunch of my stuff starts to die and eventually I'm too far down in the piece trade to bring it back.
Stryker Sudukos himself by overloading for 3 whilsts hes on 5 boxes.

Assassination Loss!

Pony Express
The Kraye pony club goes out for a run about, I'm worried about gallows pulling in and killing a jack on turn one so I bunker up and don't go too far forward, I start to lose scenario points and eventually lose on scenario.

Scenario Loss!

Big Burly Treemen

I lose three 'lances on Phils turn 1 to Tharn Wolf Riders, I try to clear some stuff to get scoring but I'm unable to shift enough models, they all get feated back and I'm down on attrition and can't pull it back.

Assassination Loss!

Please, no magic bullet!

This game is a crazy slog, Caine feats first and makes short work of most of the storm dudes, I'm able to use deadeyed Gun Mages the Stormclad and Deceleration to keep the attrition going. I have to go for an assassination and I manage to get two hard 8s on Caine with the Stormclad (After a timebomb) but he can't roll the unboosted 5 to kill Caine.

Assassination Loss!
