The Judges stayed back in their base, only moving slightly, waiting to Teleport at the end of the round. Wrecker and Bulldozer moved up. Wrecker one shotted Judge Mortis right off the bat with 6 skulls and a botched defense. The Judges teleported and then engaged Wrecker. Bulldozer hit Judge Fear for some decent damage. Wrecker finished him off with ease. Fire tried using Purge the Sinners, first on just Wrecker, then next time on both Wrecker and Bulldozer, but only got 1 wound. His attack however almost killed Wrecker. Fire was then killed by Wrecker and Bulldozer's tandem, as Death teleported over to Piledriver and Thunderball. Piledriver beat up Death and then Bulldozer finished him off.

R6T2: Wolverine kills Judge Death.
Wolverine with 1 wound.
Professor X moved up to gain more ground, while the Dark Judges moved up unison. Wolverine and Gorgon move up, and the Dark Judges teleport in. Fear stops Wolverine from being able to move, but Gorgon whiffs on a Stone Gaze. Fire gets adjacent to Gorgon, and Mortis is there for some nice auto wounds each turn of Fire's. It became a solid combo. Eventually they teleport out and try to swarm Prof. X, but Prof. X is able to go first and Wolverine and Gorgon surround him to protect. Gorgon is eventually killed by the Mortis + Fire combo, while Wolverine kills Fear. Prof. X is then killed by the Mortis + Fear combo. The combo brings Wolverine 1 wound away from death, but Wolverine goes Berserk and kills Fire, then Mortis, and finally Death.
THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: It's certainly a fun synergy. The Mortis + Fire combination of OM on Fire for the Purge the Sinners potential wound and movement for Mortis, then attack with almost guaranteed auto wound from Mortis, and finally an attack of 5 from Fire...that's the bread and butter here. Fear would help as well if setup correctly, making the combo even better. In this case Gorgon was Fearless and has a decent defensive d20 roll, so the auto wounds were the bigger threat here. Overall, Death feels like the useless one of the bunch, and feels like wasted points really(as unfortunate as that is, because I love the design). He is usually saved for last, the others are just much bigger threats. I'd honestly say his points should come down, as he drives the package's points higher than it feels they actually can compete with...but the trio of Fire, Mortis, and Fear feels great. Fire's point value feels accurate. Love the trio, even more so the duo of Fire and Mortis - very very fun.
