First caveat, this was a 1500 point event with a lot of new players so I intentionally brought a low tier left field list. We did play the new itc beta missions.
Originally I was going to try zoanthrope spam but a good portion of my zoeys are in need of repair. So I went with the other mortal wound list.
Behemoth battalion
Broodlord (warlord)
Swarmlord
30 hormagaunts with toxin sacs
20 termagaunts
20 termagaunts
Gorgon patrol
Broodlord
20 termagaunts
Kronos fortification
Sporocyst w/ 5 barbed strangler
Sporocyst w/ 5 barbed strangler
Sporocyst w/ 5 barbed strangler
183 reinforcement points
(used for 2 units of 9 spore mines via spore field)
Game 1 was against 3 hawkshroud knights. 2 crusaders and a valiant. Swarmlord wouldn't fail a save and took out both crusaders by himself. The spore field strat and multiple turns of Broodlord smites mortal wounded the valiant to death.
Game 2 was against Mars admech gunlines with krast mini knights detachment. He had first turn and killed off squad of gaunts and all 3 sporocysts but didn't charge his rangers into the spore mines hiding in ruin as he should have, shot the other unit of mines. My turn the spore mines rolled hot and killed all 4 of his destroyers. I wrapped his mini knights to avoid being shot but Swarmlord went from hero to zero and only got 1 wound through and then failed every save and died to the punch back. I was down to just the hormagaunts and 2 Broodlord turn 3 but the gaunts wrapped an armiger which meant he couldn't shoot me from his castle for the rest of the game and I won by 2 points.
Game 3 against Iron hands. Basically the Meta lvo winning list minus 500 points of intercessors. I got attacker and spore mines killed 7 intercessors. I didn't kill a unit and he tremor shelled 2 gaunt squads and had his dreads obliterate all 3 Sporocyst. I suicided in and hive commandered the Broodlord who killed both tech Marines removing his 2 thunderfire cannons. He shot and killed 2 gaunt squads. Now without tremor shells the 30 gaunts went in and wrapped all his dreads giving me the win.
