On Saturday, Nick and I attended a Steamroller Tournament in Toronto at the sublime Meeplemart. Great store! Long drive, but completely worth it!
It was a tonne of fun, but due to lack of battery on my phone, I only snagged a handful of pictures… but you can read the full reports below!
On Saturday Marc and I made the trek into Toronto to attend a 50pt Steamroller event at Meeplemart. Meeple has to be the nicest gaming store I have ever seen. Tons of stock, large play area with comfortable leather chairs and lots of very passable terrain.
I was bringing my Mercs with a couple lists that I am practicing with for the Game Summit Masters tournament that we are attending next week. The lists I brought were: Continue reading
This week on the Podcast I dusted off my Retribution for the first time in a few months and was matched-up against Adam and his Cryx.
Footage of the games from Marc’s tournament at the Game Chamber have been edited and are now available on YouTube.
We only got footage of Rounds 1 to 3 due to finite capacity memory cards. So no finals table. I hope you enjoy the rest of the games and remember to Subscribe to our YouTube channel for our upcoming Video Battle Reports and more Tournament Coverage.
Round 1 – Convergence Vs. Menoth
Round 2 – Mercenaries Vs. Trollbloods
Round 3 – Cryx Vs. Skorne
Check them out and gives us some feedback on what you’d like to see in our Video Battle Reports.
So, I’ve decided that I need to finally assemble my Avatar of Menoth… it’s a fantastic warjack, and my only complaint against it has been that the model itself is ugly. Thankfully, my friend Darrell has a beautiful modification on the Avatar, which looks fantastic and encouraged me to try and do my own!
But first…
This is everything I need to have painted by next Saturday… 2 Choir members, 3 Paladins, a Vassal Mechanik, a Devout, 4 Crusaders (1 basically done), 1 Templar, and the Avatar in pieces in the middle. Continue reading
This week I was matched up against our local Cryx player Adam.
We both made up some potential 35 point tournament lists on the spot.
Two heads are better than one!
As always, you can listen to the podcast right here, or on iTunes at your preference. If you feel inclined to give us a rating on iTunes (and help Combo Smite become more widely listened to), that would be awesome and we would be grateful!

For the battle report this week, I was going to be facing off against our local reigning champion from last season: Adam, and his unstoppable Cryx. I was hoping to get a Menoth get on the books, and with all the work I’ve been pumping into my Protectorate, I actually have 50 points of fieldable Menoth with the Harbinger at the lead… mostly warjacks (2 Vanquishers, 2 Reckoners, and a Devout), a few solos (Vilmon, an Allegiant, a Hierophant, Wracks, Choir, a Paladin), and that’s about it. Harby has enough Focus to run the army and keep herself safe, but sadly, there’s one warcaster in the game that this army would be completely powerless against:
Asphyxious2. His Feat has the capability to remove too much of my army in a single go… I could afford to lose 1 warjack in a turn (it would be basically unavoidable I imagine), even 2 if I was unlucky. But Gaspy2 can melt all 4 of my heavies and there would be absolutely, positively nothing I could do about it. Sure, Menoth has plenty of tools to stop the Feat… Greater Destiny’d Zealots, Temple Flameguard, Exemplar Errants, or Bastions, but I don’t *own* any of those yet! And since Adam was keen on playing his Gaspy2 list, I had to switch to my 2nd list… Nemo2.
Now, I love Nemo… all three versions of him, actually (I’m currently undefeated with Nemo3!), but I make no illusions that this is a good matchup. Nemo has 1 tool in his box against Gaspy… Polarity Field… and Cryx is filthy with ways to get rid of it. But at least there was a *chance* I could pull this off… to hear the full battle, feel free to listen below!
This week for the Podcast we are highlighting a battle between my forces of the Retribution and Adam’s forces of Cryx. You can listen to it here (obviously!) or on iTunes.
