I love my Grissel Evo III list!  
We played the Death Valley scenario.  He ended up with first turn.  Baldur made his way up, feated first turn and assumed that he had won the scenario.  Unfortunately the scenario stated that you couldn't win until the third turn and controlled two points in the valley.
Ended up with a huge scrum in the middle, second turn Grissel feats and one unit of champs take a good sized chunk out of a Warden and Watcher.  Then the other unit take a chink out of the other Warden.  He popped off my Fell caller, but my KSB and stone scribes made all their tough rolls.  Two champs didn't make it back either.  At the end of the top of the forth turn my opponent conceded as I dropped his Watcher and one Warden with the last one coming soon.  I would have pushed back and driven him off the scenario marker and won on scenario, but instead I took the caster kill.

Scenario was Tagged where there's two watchtowers who have to hit and damage every 'jack or beast in the opponent's army to win scenario.  I was doing well until I pulled a Ray.  I left Grissel hanging in the wind, as Gabe would say "hey, look at me!  I'll bet you can't shoot me with all your guns in one turn!"  So yea, the game went two turns.  Doh!

Both games were a lot of fun, my understanding of Slams and Throws needs to get better, but overall the Grissel list is a lot of fun to play and I don't think it's too abusive for my opponents to get upset about my playing it time and again.
