My ability to roll a 4+ armour save was awful - struggling to make a third of my armour saves across the whole event. I think having your objectives almost as second nature means you can then focus on the army achieving them, rather than having to try and juggle both in your head. I also have to hold my hands up and admit that I'm very out of practice, I've not played any 2k games this year and as such, not completely up to date with the new battleplans - which really showed. I would have loved a win on day two, but the battleplans worked much better for my opponents than me. The list I was running was very much a list written to be more friendly - one I'm happy playing round the club with friends. So, five losses, but four Hidden Agendas achieved, so I've actually come away quite happy. ![]() Losing my Harrow on turn 2 was enough to seal the game, preventing me from bringing back my units to deal with the big unit of plaguemonks (which is how I dealt with a similar unit in Game Two). We were on the last but one table and he was kind enough to let me use one Harridan as a Banshee so I was actually able to get a feel of how the army "could" play. My most difficult game, but without a doubt the nicest opponent I've played. Game Five vs Skaventide - Focal Points, Ghyran, Hidden Festering Corruption Both me and my opponent feel that the victory point scoring on this battleplan is awful and puts far too much sway into both the priority roll due to the 1vp vs 3vp scoring. He also had less drops, so was able to take both objectives on turn one and just sit on them. My opponent had Morathi and a dragon model with Ethereal amulet, couple of ignore damage rolls and a strike last ability. Weirdly my last two games were much tougher than my first three (bearing in mind I was now lurking on the bottom tables). Game Four vs Mixed Order - Duality of Death, Ulgu, Shrouded Lands Quite simply not enough tools to deal with four big monsters. ![]() My main units were quickly bogged down so I couldn't get into combat with Neferata, and Harridans really suffer with a -1 or -2 to hit and not having something like a Spirit Torment to allow re-roll hits of 1. My first "awful matchup", bravery 10 opponent with 4 Behemoths (two zombie dragons, Neferata and a Palaquin). Game Three vs Legion of Blood - Relocation Orb, Hysh, Dazzing Glow Dice rolling on this game was painfully bad for both of us. I actually only lost this game due to me not paying attention to my back edge and a summoned unit of 20 plaguebearers - quite litterally moving my Mortis Engine back 3" would have given me a draw if not the game. The effectiveness of the army dropped massively against bravery 10 opponents. Game Two vs Nurgle - Battle for the Pass, Realm of Metal, Rust Plague Game One vs Gloomspite - Starstrike, Shyish, Aetherquake Aftershockįirst taste of the new Legion and I was far too tentative, the Harridans performed wonderfully against a number of low bravery units, but the sheer amount of command points being generated by my opponent meant that there was Inspiring presence abound! I also apologise that this is such a long post! I will also add in that I managed to leave my one and only Banshee at home - this wasn't ideal and I think she could have made a massive difference to my games. I'll quickly go over my 5 games and then give a summary opinion on what I struggled with and weak points and then things that I learned from my games. So Blackout is now over and (spoiler alert), I didn't actually get any wins at all - however I would say that I had more fun playing Legion of Grief than either my Khorne or Grand Host armies. I've tried to focus on a more narrative feel to the army rather than going for all the super brutal bits (as such only one Banshee, but lots of grief stricken Harridans), but hopefully with enough poke to it that I'll avoid coming bottom! I'll try and remember a pad and to take notes and do an update next week □ Spell: Dread Withering (-1 to save rolls) ![]() Guardian of Souls with Nightmare Lantern (140) Trait: Tragic Emanations (-2 bravery within 12")
