I decided to change my army list a bit to include a mammoth and support. I included a full unit of Cetrati in the hopes that they could hold objectives.
Lord Arbiter Hexeris (*6pts)
* Basilisk Krea (4pts)
* Cyclops Raider (5pts) - BOND BEAST
* Mammoth (20pts)
* Titan Gladiator (8pts)
Cataphract Cetrati (Leader and 5 Grunts) (11pts)
Paingiver Beast Handlers (Leader and 3 Grunts) (2pts)
Agonizer (2pts)
Extoler Soulward (2pts)
Mortitheurge Willbreaker (2pts)
Points: 47/50 (????????)
Tiers: 4
Goreshade the Cursed (*5pts)
* Deathripper (4pts)
* Deathripper (4pts)
* Deathripper (4pts)
* Slayer (6pts)
* Skarlock Thrall (2pts)
Bane Thralls (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts)
* Bane Thrall Officer & Standard (0pts)
Bane Thralls (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts)
* Bane Thrall Officer & Standard (3pts)
The Withershadow Combine (5pts)
Bane Lord Tartarus (4pts)
Necrotech & 1 Scrap Thrall (1pts)
3 Scrap Thrall (1pts)
3 Scrap Thrall (1pts)
3 Scrap Thrall (1pts)
What I saw the opposing army, I was squeeing with delight. My extoller soulward could counter Stealth and even if I couldn't get a solid hit with the mammoth's guns, that's a 4" blast - it's going to kill something and with Black Spot I was going to kill more. I killed 7 bane thralls including bane lord Tarterus in the first salvo but I was badly outnumbered, and those banes wouldn't stay dead. I made a mistake on turn 2 - I moved the cyclops raider into position and triggered a counter move from Tartarus thus blocking a charge from my mammoth to the deathrippers directly in front of Goreshade. This put the raider in melee and thus unable to function as a bond beast. By turn 3 Hexeris wasn't in much of a position to do anything useful, the Cetrati unit was down to half strength, the mammoth failed miserably to kill the Slayer and was holding onto only 9 health boxes and my other beasts were tied up. I conceded.
