NOTE:

This tournament was before the PoM CID.
That’s why Harbinger has only 24 wj points.

I’m going first.

Deployment :

Idrians prey at Woldwyrds.

Harbinger ran behind the wall.
Vilmon and Devout came b2b with her.
Attendant Priest said “immune to continuous effects”.

Krueger cast Windstorm.
Stone Beasts trample and started casting Lightning Storms.
Woldwyrd killed right Champion’s horse 🙁

End of 1st round :

Harbinger came to the safe place.
The Book said “no spell casting in my cmd!”.
Choir said Shielding.
Dwarves ran as far as possible.
Attendant Priest said “immune to continuous effects”.
Champions charged at Shifting Stones, destroying one from each unit.
They also did few dmg to right Woldwarden.

Krueger came forward and said FEAT.
He also wanted to cast TK on himself, but the Book forbade him 🙁
I lost two Champions and few Idrians this turn.
Shifting Stones scored a point in the right zone.

0-1 on the scenario.

End of 2nd round :

Harbinger cast Crusader’s Call.
Dwarves charged at BE and destroyed it.
They also scored a point in the left zone.
Templar took care of the Woldwarden in the middle zone.
Right Idrians charged at another Woldwarden and finished him.
The Book said “no spell casting in my cmd!”.
Reclaimer gave Ashen Veil to Monk, who came to contest the right zone.

1-1 on the scenario.

Shifting Stones teleported to contest the left zone.
Megalith destroyed my Templar.
Rest of the army killed tons of Idrians.

Still 1-1 on the scenario.

End of 3rd round :

Dwarves destroyed the Megalith and Shifting Stone contesting the zone.
Harbinger and her bodyguards ran behind the forest, to be perfectly safe.

2-1 on the scenario.

My opponent killed almost whole Dwarves unit (sprays).
Shifting Stones teleported to contest the left zone.
Rest of the army killed what was possible to kill.

Still 2-1 on the scenario.

End of 4th round :

Harbinger and company just stayed in the safe place.
I cleared the left zone to score a point there.
That’s all..
I did not have the opportunity to do more.

3-1 on the scenario.

Stoneshaper came to contest the left zone.
Blackclad and Woldwyrd started flanking.
Rest of the army tried to kill the right Monk, but without success.

Still 3-1 on the scenario.

End of 5th round :

I killed the Stoneshaper in the left zone.
Idrian Chieftain scored a point there.
Harbinger, Devout and Vilmon ran to the safe place.
Monks stayed in their positions.

4-1 on the scenario.

My opponent had 1:28 min on the clock.
So, he tried to kill Harbinger.
Unfortunately, he failed (the chances was super low) and we ended the game.

I won the game by deathclock.

End of the game :

A few words after game :

  • Attendant Priest and his immunity to continuous effects helped a lot.
    Few Dwarves were able to survive and destroy the Celestial Fulcrum.
  • The Covenant of Menoth.
    This solo is priceless in this matchup.
    His “no spell casting” aura is super important.
