2018 June 16th - Regional Championship - San Antonio, Texas - Court of Gamers

By playnwin, in Runewars Battle Reports

Today, I was the TO for Court of Gamers' Regional Championship. Shockingly, despite the recent release of new Uthuk stuff, not a single player played Uthuk. Several lists seemed to be designed to counter them, however.

Much thanks to Playnwin for hosting and TOing, the event was super smooth and lots of fun!

Cool. I just started messing with the Ankaur bringing a 3x1 Xbow. It has worked really well so far but I wasn’t sure about the blockers.

Well shoot. Looks like I'm going to have to scrounge up some money for two boxes of Crossbowmen. But that's the glorious thing about Ankaur Maro: buying out of faction is rarely a waste of money.

Yep, Heavy Crossbowmen were pretty solid. They fill a hole in the faction and don't rely on faction specific upgrades to do it.

Darn shame I couldn't be there. Family emergency called me out of state a few days prior.

Nice to know I WOULD HAVE been the only Uthuk list on the tables.

*shakes fist*

Stop skeleton-ing better than I do, @rebellightworks We both know Ardus > Ankaur, and one day I'll make you admit it.

I will always bow down to you as the Skeleton King. However, Maro is the best of the best.

I was flying home from a 2-week work trip that day or I would have represented the locust swarm, as well. Maybe next year will work out better.
