Ikit Claw vs Buffy Summers (Tiersetter Tourney R1M3)

[Agnaa]

Skaven horde vs one Slayer. What has this tourney come to?

Ikit Claw has an hour of preparation beforehand. For context, this is enough to amass an army, some Warp Lightning Cannons, but not the Morskittar engine.

Buffy Summers is in her Collective Slayer Powers key. Normally I'd list her exact AP here, but regardless, she's one-shotting everything Ikit has, and only getting threatened by Warp Lightning Cannons and hax.

Speed will be equalised. Other than that, the battle assumptions will be standard; starting range will be 4km because, despite the profile not mentioning it, the Warp Lightning Cannon is artillery that can reach that far.

Ikit Claw: 7 (@DaReaperMan, @DontTalkDT, @ByArrow, @ProbNotAFelon, @Ebihara, @Greatsage13th, @Jerry59)

Buffy Summers: 0

Inconclusive: 0

Alright, so let's start Buffy's problems off in a conclusive list

• Skaven hordes, while they can't deal damage, that is a LOT of bodies to slow Buffy down and weigh her down
• Warpstone weaponry is nasty, but there's 5 variations Buffy needs to worry about.
• Warp Lightning cannons while they blow up more often than not, are an instant kill if they connect with Buffy, without any sugar-coating added.
• Warplock Jezzails are snipers, and decently accurate. Did you know Skaven on the tabletops are the only faction who can fire on forces while their own forces are engaged in melee? Buffy risks getting shot... but is at more risk from...
• Ratling Guns. These things have a solid range of a few hundred meters, and minigun durability negating radioactive murder rocks for bullets. Some will explode, but more won't. That basically means Buffy needs to dodge god for her LIFE if she wants to win. Or run faster than they can track.
• Poison Wind Globadiers usually wouldn't be a problem... Unfortunately Buffy is practically melee with few ranged options even with Optional equipment, and one does NOT want to breathe that shit in, This is the Geneva Suggestion, enjoy your stay.
• Ikit Claw himself is actually nasty here, Warpflame and Storm Daemon are pretty much the final obstacle if you want to kill him without a ranged weapon, which chances are at this point Buffy would have used all of her ammo or charge on rats that don't have white fur.

Overall, shitty matchup for Buffy, you kind of need consistent ranged options to fight Ikit in this format, and she doesn't have those.

Should note that if Ikit was on his own and this was closer range, I'd vote for Buffy, she almost certainly out-skills Ikit and out-manuevers him, but because Ikit has an army...

 

[DontTalkDT]

Can the snipers actually harm her?

Same bullets as the Ratling Guns just propelled faster.

If it's a Skaven ranged weapon, unless specified otherwise, assume Warpstone is somehow involved, whether that be physically for dura neg or the toxic gas from things like Globadiers and Poison Wind Mortars(The latter of which Ikit doesn't have because those are a Clans Pestilens thing)

 

[DontTalkDT]

I see I see. Well, for the time being it sounds like Ikit has the better chances, but I will wait for Buffy input.

I dunno if you fat fingered but there's literally a Black Sabbath song called Rat Salad

The joke was that Paranoid is often used for "Vietnam Strongman", and while Ikit doesn't really have the stigma, you'd certainly feel like he does as you're being bombarded with bullets

Though really that stigma goes more to Balthasar Gelt because he was the Empire's certified artilleryman in Total War: Warhammer until Elspeth showed up with Thrones of Decay lol

Australia may be messing with you, but there are a lot of uploads on YouTube so one may work if you search it up
