First go at MK IV

Mark IV has finally arrived and I'm excited. To celebrate this, the Motherland is attending a small tournament. I was hoping to play the "new version" of Winter Korps; unfortunately, the models are not available when the tournament takes place. So, to defend Khador's honour, the trusted Man-O-Wars step up.  We are playing three games. MKIV is fast and fun. Some rules need to be unlearned. Yet, I think it is in a good place and Khador can finally start reclaiming former glory.

Vladimir Tzepesci, the Dark Prince (Vlad1) vs. The Harbinger of Menoth (Harbinger1)

The Harbinger is back. She has become a returning visitor to the rough land of Khador. Personally, I think she has gotten an unhealthy appetite for this whole chains and whip thing. At least she seems to enjoy having her rear smacked by Vlad. Once again, she discovers that Khador is among the fastest factions in the world. Between Gun Carriages and Marauders thriving on Vlad's feat, she is again a victim of piston to face (which she seems to enjoy). 

Vladimir Tzepesci, the Dark Prince (Vlad1) vs. The Harbinger of Menoth (Harbinger1)

The Harbinger again. She seems incapable of learning a lesson. Vlad will have to move his Winter Guards once again. This is a recurring match where the Harbinger list changes a little bit each time. Vlad's stay the same. I think we are roughly 50-50 against each other. So it is really a grudge match. However, Vlad comes out on top. One should never underestimate Marauders charging 14". 

Vladimir Tzepesci, the Dark Prince (Vlad1) vs. The Harbinger of Menoth (Harbinger1)

Once again, the Harbinger is bringing her deranged religious fanatics into Khador territory. This time Vlad is called upon to bring his trusted Winter Guards. The game is fast and brutal. Vlad is on top of it most of the way, and after the traditional kill Judy intermezzo, he is set to win. However, out of the blue Harbinger pulls the biggest hail Mary win I have ever seen.

Kommandant Sorscha Kratikoff (Sorscha3) vs. Vice Scrutator Vindictus (Vindictus1)

The religious fanatics from the Protectorate have decided to push the Northern Crusade even further into Khador territory. This time the push is lead by Vindictus and heavy Exemplar infantry; and they are bringing a bloody church! Sorscha is dispatched to hand out the Empress justice to the invaders. This becomes a long meat grinding game of attrition. At the very last moment Sorscha pulls out a win on scenario.

Supreme Kommandant Irusk (Irusk2) vs. The Harbinger of Menoth (Harbinger1)

The Harbinger is flying into Khador territory using the rather impressive flag. She is a completely unknown foe to me. So, what better to do that pull out Irusk and his trusted Winter Guards. It turns out to be an interesting and fun fight. Unfortunately, it is so interesting that Irusk runs out of time and must face a defeat.

Supreme Kommandant Irusk (Irusk2) vs. The High Reclaimer (Reclaimer1)

Irusk is facing the High Reclaimer and his favourite pet - the Judicator. To tackle this, Irusk will bring his trusted Winter Guards. The battle is bloody and starts of pretty well. However, due to a few grave mistakes by the controlling player, Irusk is let down and must bite the dust. There are quite a few learning points, which I trust will make Irusk victorious in future skirmishes with the High Reclaimer.
