So I had my first games yesterday. Two out of two wins for the crow gang. We played on my friends special made terrain combining two starter boxes. There was a lot of terrain on the board, probably too much so we will scale it back a bit in he future.
First game against Unmade. Mission was kill the leader. It ended in turn two after my opponent had charged his leader into a Cabalist I had placed in front of my Shadow Piercer. In my activation after that I used Death From Above to get a free move and an extra attack, no extra strength as we were on the same level. Three hits later and his leader was down.
Second game was against Splintered Fang. Mission was kill half the opponents warband. I think i positioned my warband a bit better using my tough "heroes" in the frontline and keeping most of my smaller guys back. He on the other hand sent in his leader together with smaller guys first. He even one of his snakes just to tie me up giving me basically a free killpoint. I ganged up on his leader using inspiring presence and later using Grisly Trophy+Onslaught on a Spire Stalker which gave me the final kill I needed.
It's hard to draw any conclusions though as it was the first game of Warcry for both my opponents and both of them made tactical mistakes forgetting about the mission objectives. My general feeling is that we have a very well rounded warband with great speed, good combination of hard hitting heroes, expendable chaff and some great abilities.
My list was as follows.
