Next mission is up, Mike will be sending you matchups shortly if you have not received them already!
Also, let me know if you have a matchup to report that I have missed or if I made a mistake.
Finally, if you have a make-up game and you can arrange to play it with an opponent you have not played yet let us know and we can factor it in- anyone who needs an opponent assigned we will have a window at the end for make up games.

Are the new points up and live now? I can't remember what is a leak and what is real anymore.

Uuuh so the timing is looking pretty serendipitous to just use new points- given it's already updated on warscroll builder it would probably be more work than not to force old points so... new points it is!

Very fun and close game of skaven against slaves to darkness tonight. Only 1 point decided the battle! The skaven gun line and horde (and luck) proved slightly too much for the slaves to chew through! Victory for the rats
Great game! Excited to see what the final week shall bring!

The Beasts of Chaos went in for some more punishment against their favourite nemesis, the Stormcast Eternals.
I'm not one to get hung up on the outcome of the dice, but man, there were a couple of "statistical improbabilities" that left me feeling temporarily deflated. A wiff on one end of the field, and my opponent making smart decisions on the other, meant that by round three the Beasts had been thoroughly bloodied.
Before their grisly deaths however, the Barnyard was able to buy enough time to slow the stormcast advance just enough to come out ahead on points. Goat blood may be cheap, but let it not be said that these boys aren't willing to spend it by the bucket full.
Very fun game. Thanks again Tyler.

The Sylvaneth and Seraphon went toe to toe in a mighty clash yesterday. A pesky teleporting bastilidon created havoc but eventually succumbed to his wounds courtesy of Durthu and a few kurnoth hunters. On the other side of the table were mighty clashes with an overwhelming amount of casts thanks to a Kroak/slann/trogolodon mix. In the end the Seraphon took a narrow 17-15 victory. Great game and looking forward to the final 2 weeks!

The Khadron Overlords were victorious in a narrow victory over the Maggotkin of Nurgle, thanks to the stupid objective exploding backwards for both objectives into the exact wrong spot! (well unless you were the dwarves then it was the exact RIGHT spot). Fun close game.

DoK vs Stormcast this week. First time fielding Morathi for me, and she showd up with all spear snakes. Wargamer clamped down on DoK on the first turn dropping units down on both sides outside of the deployment zone. DoK chose to ignore them, instead opting to teleport a unit behind the fulminators. Charging them in with the Shadow queen meeting them in the middle generates a crazy amount of attacks. Pretty low scoring game for both sides, but once morathi and a unit of snakes had cleaned up the middle, that left the remainder of the Stormcast force split on either side. That allowed DoK to focus on one edge and left the far Stormcast trying to rejoin the fray.
A win for DoK in the end, but not without mush blood being shed on both sides.

Stormcast Eternals faced off against Sons of Behemat in a fun game without time contraints.
The Stormcast Eternals General thought he had a cunning plan to take down a giant in the first round while crippling another but counting beating probability is not a great start. Twice in the game I had a Mega-garant down to 1 wound...I burned through my troops, hounds and birds as the giants built an early lead by dominating the centre.
Cagey play by the giant's general put me well behind, and by the start of Round 4 I was in a deep hole. He had a single giant left and it was down to being able to kill and take its objective. The surviving Fulminators charged in after the Longstrikes loosed their volleys, and even my General went in on his Gryph Charger to lead by example. Six glaives struck home, and the giant failed 5 4+ saves out of 6. This flipped the game, but if he had made two more saves I think the game would have been the giant's.
Very enjoyable evening, and BTG and Pepper the wonder-dog were fantastic hosts!

Great game!! I thought I was in a good position until turn four. Well, actually I figured I was still ok until those brutal save rolls. Haha. Thanks man, had a blast.

An update, we are a bit behind on matchups for the new mission since there are a lot of missing games left but they will be in the pipe imminently. The last mission is up on the drive and as was mentioned before you can play anyone you haven't played yet for your last game just let us know.
