On my way to my first Steamroller

That would have made for a very good title if it was indeed my first steamroller, but that's not the case, since it will be my third steamroller already.

Nonetheless, it is the first steamroller that I will report, so you might call it "On my way to my first Steamroller that I will do a report about", but then that's kind of too many words for a good and catchy title.

So first, this Steamroller is a bit special, because it's the ending event of a Journeyman League with just run in my town, and rather then the usual 2 List (Divide and Conquer) style, our Press Ganger choose to go with 1 List with Specialist, which is actually great! I like that option because you have to go with a more all-comer list rather then a skew, which I don't really appreciate (except when I need to give a lesson of Fair Sportmanship to someone, then I would happily go all skew).

So I decide to pick-up a good caster, a Legion caster, the best Legion caster, an all-comer caster! I guess you all figure out of whom I am speaking about: yes, you guessed it right, Rhyas, Sigil of Everblight. Wait what, that wasn't your guess? Oh well, that's sad.

So yeah, Rhyas. I choose her because she support both beast and infantry alike, and can do some personnal work, while having an awesome feat. Also, I love Zuriel, like really really much, both the model and his card, so I wanted a reason to take him, and quite frankly a stealthy Zuriel is a much happier Zuriel then a non-stealthy one. The list is actually a lot of model that I like, which just happen to fit in a Rhyas list.

Rhyas, Sigil of Everblight
-Succubus
-Zuriel
-Scythean
-Shreddy
Max Swordmen wt UA
Warmonger Warchief
Forsaken
Forsaken

Specialist
-Max Warspears wt UA

So basically, I can swap between the Warspear and the Swordmen, depending on the level of armour of my opponent, and the number of guns he brings to the fight. I know that the Warchief do absolutely nothing for the list if the Warspear aren't there, but I like him, and seriously with Rhyas feat it just seem to be so much fun (actually it is so much fun, as I happen to try out the list once before, and a teleporting beserker is the way to go. Don't know why the norse weren't doing it in back in the day...).

So there you have it, a fun all-comer list for a fun kind of casual Steamroller.
