I decide to finally drop my intended Cryx drop, and choose Ossrum. Tim chooses Dark Host.
His list:
Dark Host
Coven
- 2 Deathrippers
- Desecrator
Wraith Engine
Free Tartarus
2 x Max Bane Riders
2 x Max Bane Warriors with Free UA-s
I get first turn and rush forward. Snipe goes on Avalancher and FFE on Siege Crawler. My solos consolidate on the right flank.
Tim rushes everything ahead and feats. I start measuring possible assassination vectors.
Assassination attempt goes this way: I feat and energize. Gun bunnies run ahead where they can be spray targets for spray bunnies. The whole thing fails at first, with all my rolls at Egregor yielding no result. And then a serious stroke of luck happens, which more than compensates the previous bad rolls: one of the spray bunnies on the right flank rolls exceptionally high damage on the one which that they both were spraying, dealing more than 13 damage (which means that she dies even despite focus). The rest of my army stays farely conservatively back.
Banes charge in and destroy all bunnies they can get to. The only bunnies left are the two gun bunnies that were blocked in by my spray bunnies on the left. Fortunately, they are not engaged.
I see that attrition can not go anywhere, so I continue the assassination plan. Siege crawler charges some bane and after resolving the charge attack removes stealth from Egregor and does the FFE AOE4 shot. Defense is only 17, so I manage to hit. The damage takes out one witch, and the AOE damage roll takes some boxes from the other. Then one bunny walks up and shoots egregor, killing the last remaining witch and winning me the game.
Analysis
I honestly don't know how to play an actual game against Dark Host. They hit like a ton of bricks, and they will get the alpha due to Coven's feat. This Ossrum's army should lose in the match up every time, unless an assassination possibility presents itself. I will need to make a different Cryx drop, and I don't even imagine where to start.
