I have a problem

Bonus post because I want to impress y'all with my content generation capabilities ☺(just kidding I just had another topic to write about) So like it says in the title...I have a problem. I love Destors. Love them. I love the look of the unit as the models are great and every time I look at the card and always think these should do something right? So on occasion I dust off my Destors and try to find a list for them that I think really works. The most recent time I read through the Destor card I noticed that the Dawnguard don't really have a defining rule. Think something like how pretty much all the Banes have ghostly or Trenchers have tough. I had the opportunity to mention this to Mr. Will Pagani and ask (somewhat jokingly) if Destors should have Wall of Steel like Invictors and Sentinels both do. His response was along the lines of an argument could be made that Wall of Steel is a defining feature of Dawnguard but it would be quite the...

So in the post ATC discussions about Ret a lot of interesting points were brought up so I decided to sit down and attempt to do a write up of my thoughts regarding the current state Ret in a competitive sense.

I don’t intend to play down local events or anything but I think there is such a variance in local metas and individual skill levels that it makes sense to focus this discussion on being successful in the latter parts of bigger events wh...

I'm Back?

So it's been a couple of years since I've played but like many other players the broad scale update has me interested. The handful of games I've gotten in have definitely been enough to whet my appetite for more. I'm hoping to use this space to continue spotlighting specific models and combos as well as the occasional battle report. It will probably take some time for a broad tournament meta to sort out with this level of changes and it will likely be shaken up again when the Orgoth faction is released so these might need updates relatively soon. I also just finished a local steamroller with the new and, in my opinion, dramatically improved Kaelyssa so I'll almost certainly be starting with some thoughts on her changes.
