Perfected Principle Failure

 A 50 pts game of Warmachine on War Table.

To shake things up a little I decided to try out Necrofactorium with my sort of favorite warcaster from past edition, Mortenebra. Throughout my fifteen years of writing this blog I don't think I have proxied an entire force I don't  own even once. I guess it was time to cross that threshold. I hope this doesn't force me to buy an additional starter just to keep my stats clean.

My list:

Cryx Necrofactorium
Mortenebra Perfected
-Malefactor with Harpoon, Ripping Claw and collector head.
-Malefactor with Dark Shroud, Plague Cannon and Helldriver
2x Mechanithrall Swarm
Necrosurgeon Initiates
Skarlock Lieutenant

Opponent had:

Cryx Dark Host
Bane Witch Agathia
-Reaper
-2x Deathripper
Bane Warriors with Officer
Bane Warriors
Bane Riders
Pistol Wraith

Scenario was Two Fronts, which split Necrofactorium forces as you'd expect. Both Malefactors were going for 50mm objectives, with Raptor shielding Mortenebra for  a bit in the middle.

Both units of Mechanithralls were going for the 40mm objectives, with the support dragging their feet behind.

Dark Host had Bane Riders and the bigger unit of Warriors going towards 50mm objectives, Agathia, Reaper and a Deathripper just about in the middle and the remainder were nearing 40mm's. 

Dark Host had begun the game, and didn't quite commit just yet, except with Bane Riders who charged both of Mortenebra's heavies. Their accomplishments were meager, but so were the Malefactor that was assigned to kill them. Only one Bane Rider died even with full focus. 

Fortunately Mortenebra and the other Malefactor did much better job at killing the Bane Warriors with command attachment. They managed to remove them in their entirety.

A unit of Mechanithralls tried to clog Cryxian warmachines by charging Reaper with a unit of Mechanithralls. They did enough damage to break systems despite Hellwrought... shame, that the damage went all into the wrong columns.

Another Mechanithrall unit decided to engage the second Bane Warrior unit that was too far to charge. Their main use was to contest 40mm objective.

Agathia had gone to control a 50mm marker, which I couldn't contest. Otherwise I claimed one point lead in scenario game.

However, Agathia then used feat to dislodge a Deathripper and Reaper from melee, and they along with a Bane Rider attacked Mortenebra who had only one focus for defense. Not a single attack roll failed, which proved to be too much even for Mortenebra's formidable stats.
