I played these games yesterday and this list did not prove efficacious. In the first game I played Flesheater Courts and managed to seize the "neutral" objective early but couldn't hold it. Eventually they ground through everything and took all three. In the second game I played a vicious Daughters of Khaine army and was very nearly tabled before I conceded at the end of round three.
The third game was interesting. My opponent was playing some kind of one-drop Skaven list that burrowed up from the underground behind everybody's liines and dealt insane numbers of mortal wounds. He took out his first two games in the first two rounds by tabling his opponents, and clearly that was his plan against me. He did 13 mortal wounds against my Carnosaur in the first round with these units of three giant rat guys. Anyway, I decided I was headed for a tabling if I faced him head on. Distracted him by dropping in the Rippers, who benefitted from Toad Rage against TWO of his units because of positioning, and picked up the mobile objective with my unit of forty Skinks. Then he proceeded to blast everything else off the board while I just used Lords of Space and Time to keep the Skinks out of range. Eventually he twigged to what I was doing, but it was too late and at the bottom of the fourth round he conceded he was never going to get to them and, somewhat grumpily, conceded the game. People say Skaven need an update, but I don't know what they're talking about with all the rerolls and mortal wounds he had going for him. And then, when he was talking to me afterward and explaining to his girlfriend how he lost, he said, "That's why Seraphon suck," speaking of the teleport ability. I raised an eyebrow and said "Thirteen mortal wounds?" And he apologized, to his credit. Anyway, two educational losses, one win by dint of the fact that I obsessed on the objective instead of my opponent's units.
I have to do yard work today, but late this afternoon I need to sit down and come up with a new list for NashCon (lists, actually, since we have to take two), since this one was kind of meh on the table. And then I have to paint for ten hours a day Monday through Thursday to have them table legal!
