100pt battle musings

Ben “Whipping Boy” Wafer and I will be having a 100pt game this weekend at One Stop pitting the might of Cryx against Ben’s effete electro-weenie Cygnar army. I like to re-iterate Ben’s “winning” of the Whipping Boy trophy at the last Steamroller even to salve my own wounded ego about my inability to beat him since then.

This will be my first 100pt game using the Mk II rules and I think it will be the biggest game of Warmachine I have ever played and certainly my first game with two casters.

This is the tentative list I will be bringing.

Iron Lich Asphyxious ( – 6pts)

• Deathripper (4pts)
• Defiler (5pts)
• Seether (9pts)
• Slayer (6pts)

Pirate Queen Skarre ( – 6pts)

• Deathripper (4pts)
• Defiler (5pts)
• Harrower (10pts)
• Reaper (7pts)
• Skarlock Thrall (2pts)

Bane Knights (Leader and 5 Grunts) (6pts)
Bane Thralls (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts)

• Bane Thrall Officer & Standard (3pts)

Bile Thralls (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts)
Mechanithralls (Leader and 9 Grunts) (5pts)
Necrosurgeon & 3 Stitch Thralls (2pts)
Satyxis Raiders (Leader and 9 Grunts) (8pts)

• Satyxis Raider Sea Witch (2pts)

The Withershadow Combine (5pts)
Bane Lord Tartarus (4pts)
Bloat Thrall (2pts)
Necrotech & 1 Scrap Thrall (1pts)
Necrotech & 1 Scrap Thrall (1pts)
Pistol Wraith (3pts)
Warwitch Siren (2pts)

   It’ll be the 3rd 2-caster game I’ve played, but the first 2 were in MkI. Because of the changes in the points system between the editions, I think I can safely say that this will be the largest game of Warmachine I’ve played.

   Oh, and don’t worry, I’m not going to change my list at all based on what you’ve posted here. I’ve pretty much decided on what I’m going to bring, and it will include a caster I’ve never used before! The only thing that’s up in the air is the fact that I’m hoping to paint up some stuff between now and then – if it’s not finished I might swap it out of my list for stuff that is painted.

   I’m also trying to decide whether or not to bring the Black 13th (which are partially painted, and which I have no plans of finishing in the near future because they’re just not inspiring me right now).

   As far as what the actual list will be… Beyond those hints, and the fact that I will indeed be bringing a wee bit of lightning, I’ll leave the actual list as a surprise.

     Lightning? In a Cygnar list? Surely you jest?
