Listen to the show tyler , i cover off mine and Marks match. The list works well in the 7 games i have played with it i have only lost the 1 which was at Masters. No one takes range and every army has critical heroes/monsters that that they need alive for there army to work. It does have some poor match ups however and i'm not sure if ill keep the same sort of idea for for my next event CANCON.

Yea the TO made the call a few months beforehand that there could be some real ****** matchups so they weren't going to be in play. I don't mind using them, but i must say it was really good not having them at a Masters event. When i have played with them in tournaments most games we have just forgotten until round 3/4 and don't bother to use them.

We didn't use realm rules at masters as the rule set is super swingy and can decide games before they're played. It is somewhat lite on bodies and i would love more skinks, but i couldn't find the points. The missions the list is really bad at is the Better part of Valour. I happen to play a death army who had a few big blocks of units 40, 30 and 20. This was the only time i felt like i couldn't control the board. I went onto play a death list with roughly 100 bodies in Total Conquest which i wasn't looking forward to. However, my superior movement and range meant the game went much better than expected. The long-strikes can kill units of 30 bodies a turn easy or a big monster a turn easy. Any mission with objectives in the middle is awesome as i can just stand there and blow the unit off and win later game. Plus people want to kill the Phoenix but they quickly realise it's an uphill battle especially if i get Geminds off. People forgot to kill my libs or birds. The list is super CP hungry and normally i would shoot turn 1 then teleport turn 1. The only time i didn't need to was Focal Points Vs a nurgle list who was happy to move to the middle of the board and i was more than happy to sit and shoot.

I can give you a brief overview of my army and how i used it here. I will be covering it off in more detail in the podcast later this week https://notoriousaos.podbean.com/   Mark is correct it built it with anti-meta in mind. I was looking for a list with movement and a long-range threat that can kill heroes, monsters or key targets. Most armies out there out fight SCE and i knew there was going to be good combat armies coming in and lots of grind death list. It's a simple idea of kill key targets from range and moves as i don't want to fight you in combat. I can shoot in the hero phase and teleport at the end of the movement phase with the Aquilor. The Aquilor ability keeps my opponent's guesses as to where i will be and covers a massive amount of board. I can hit almost any part of it other than right in the middle, back section of my opponent's deployment, assuming they screen off their own board edge. If they don't i can get in range of anything. The Phoneix is just bait/ distraction that i want combat armies to grind on. I would keep libs/birds in the sky so i can screen off my long-strikes. Sometimes all the screen would come down in one turn if i was going to hold one side of the board as i did against Mark otherwise i would drip feed the units from the sky as i might be looking to move next turn and the initial Aquilour teleport is more bait than anything. The wizards were casting low cast spells that go off on 5's to buff the phoenix which i would push forward for my opponent's to get stuck on. This was total bait for the combat armies out there to charge as i always positioned it closer, and my opponents thought it would be easily removed. Mark was the only person to kill any of my long-strikes and he removed 5 of them in 4 turns. I didn't lose one single long-strike in my other 4 games. I'm looking at making some changes to the list but keeping the core idea the same as the movement and range have worked well. There is some hard counters mainly Slyvaneth with LOS woods. Losing your general early hurts like hell and if your long-stirks are killed before they do anything then it's game. I only lost one guy to the guy who came second at NZ masters the person who Mark lost to in round 3. The game only got to turn 3 but that was because i made an error which gave my opponent the win in turn 1. I will go into more detail about this on the podcast for anyone that is keen. https://notoriousaos.podbean.com/
