Deamons + Skavens + Dark Elves + Orcs vs. High Elves + Tomb Kings

TERRAIN:

- Table is 10 x 4

- We decided to keep terrain as open as possible. We placed two impassable rocks and agreed that they are high enough to block line of sights. Then for little cinmetic feeling we placed wall and town on the other end and decided that no ambusher may not enter that end.

- Then two regular hills in the middle

DEPLOYMENT:

Forces of Order won the first drop. We decided that we are going to deploy 3 units a time. Deployment order was following:

- White Lions, Phoenix Guard, Swordmasters

- Plague Bearers, Black Orcs , Stormvermis

- Spearmen, Spearmen, Sisters

- Corsairs, Storm Vermin x 2

- Reavers x 3

- Dreadspears, Darkshards, Daemonettes

- Archers, Seaguard, Skeletal Horsemen

- Cold one knights, Black Guard, Harpies

- Tiranoc Chariots, Silver Helms, Archers

- War Hydra, Plague Drones, Giant

- Frostphoenix x 2, Dragon Prince

- Dark rider, Rat ogre, Blood letters

- Hierotitan, Carrion, Skeleton Warriors

- Wolf Rider, Stone Trolls, Big uns

- Skeleton Chariots, War Machines, Characters

Alarielle generated two spells from High Magic and two spells from Lore of Life: Drain Magic, Fiery Convocation, Flesh to Stone, Dwellers Below

Eltharion genrated two spells from Lore of Beast: Wyssans Wildform, Pans Inpenetrable pelt

Teclis chose 8 spells from battle magic: Flaming Sword of Rhuin, Blades of Aiban, Harmonic Convergerence, Bironas Timewarp, Okkams Mindrazor, Curse of Anhareir, Doom and Darkness, Dwellers below

Forces of Destruction won the first turn

MOVEMENT:

- Giant Fails stupidity

- Wolf Riders charge Shadow warriors, Stand and shoot and wolf riders panic and fled the table.

- Orc war boss charges ellyrian reaver, terror pass, failed charge

- Striders of Slaanesh charge Shadow Warriors

- Night Goblin Spearmen charge Shadow Warriors, Release Fanatics -> Shadow Warriors dead

MAGIC:

- WoM 5+5 +1 PD +1DD

- Curse of da Bad Moon 5 PD. Vortex had zero effect ( I passed all the characteristic tests)

- Treason of Tzeencth 1 PD Natural Failure

- Foot of Kork 5 PD, Scroll of Hoeth -> Succesfully removed the spell also

SHOOTING:

( I don't have exact notes who shot and what but roughly:)

- Ellyrian reavers got removed, couple silver helms died, two dragon princes died, Skeleton Horse Archers got bad fibes, and hierotitan was wounded.

- Doom diver and Rock lobba jammed.

CLOSE COMBAT:

- No Close Combat

TURN SUMMARY:

- Nothing too bad happen. Curse of the Bad Moon went through couple units, but failed to do single wound. With a little different angle it would have bounces off the table but now was left right on the edge.

Storm Banner activated: No flying, -2 to hit and 4+ to shoot with non bs shooting

MOVEMENT

- Reavers charge harpies

- Reavers charge dreadspears to make room for Silver Helms to Charge tzeench disks. Skycutter tried long charge (since it is flying) to help reavers with dread spears.

- Skeleton Horsemen charged shades

MAGIC: WoM 5+4, +3 PD +1 DD

- Enchanted Blades of Aiban to Silver Helms 2 PD (9)

- Flaming Sword of Rhuin to Silver Helms 2 PD (14)

- Righteous Smiting to Skeleton Archers 2 PD + hiero (14)

- Harmonic Convergence Swordmasters 1 PD (11)

- Wyssans Wildform to Silver Helms 3 PD (16) Dispelled (Lord of Tzeencht buffed himself with some special ability)

- Flesh to Stone to Phoenix Guard 2 PD (8) Dispelled

I was fairly confident that the bad moon would scatter of board. It didn't but luckily for me AGAIN it didn't do single wound

SHOOTING:

- Skeleton Archers with Righteous Smiting shot Black Guard and did good damage

- Due storm banner -2 shooting didn't do much, killed fanatic and couple Darkshards

CLOSE COMBAT:

- Reavers managed to broke Harpies (they were little angled so they fled the board).

- Skeleton horsemen failed to break shades.

- Dreadspears easily won reavers, but failed to catch them

- Buffed Silver Helms wiped screamers and overran to giant

Storm Banner continued. Big Uns failed animosity

MOVEMENT

- Cold one Knights charged reavers

- Corsairs Charged horsemen

- Cold one Chariot and Daemonettes charged Silver Helm flank

- Dread Spears charged Skycutter

- Blood Thirster and Black Orcs charged Phoenix Guard

Fanatic went right through bad moon vortex unharmed :D

MAGIC: WoM 1+1 +2 PD

- Chill wind to archers 1 PD -> Dispelled

- Frenzy to Corsairs 1 PD

- Enfeeble Foe to Skeleton Warriors 2 PD

This time Curse of the Bad moon scattered off the table and did damage. It killed 7 archers.

SHOOTING

- Shooting was really underwhelming some damage to spearmen, but other than that no real damage. If I remember correctly many of warmachines missfired and failed to launch due Stormbanner.

CLOSE COMBAT:

- Silver Helms killed giant and did good damage to opponents due Flaming Sword and Blades of Aiban and overrun run charge bonus. They lost the battle slightly but managed to break without big harm.

- Skycutter broke with low roll but so did dread spears also pursue very low distance.

Phoenix Guard vs. Bloodthirster + Black Orcs Immortalz

- Phoenix Guard champion issued a challenge and Orc champion took it. Phoenix Guard Champion killed the orc.

- Grimgor used make way to place him in basecontact with Korhil. Grimgor killed Korhil while Korhil failed to deliver killing blow to orc general.

- Bloodthirster NARROWLY killed my BSB! Crown of Attrazar and Shield of Merwyn managed to save 4 wounds out of 6.

- My Phoenix guard did really good damage to Orcs and in return my Phoenix Guard ward saves went little better than average.

- Battle was draw after all resolution including downhill charge!

Storm Banner wore off (HUGE relief)

NOW this turn realy needs some explanation to make sense.

I also realised that my list is imcomplete SINCE there was some lone elf running around with some epic bow :D I am not complete sure if that elf started the game in corsair unit etc.

MOVEMENT:

- Chariot + Skeleton Warrior charge: Technically this charge was suprisingly put illegal. For the chariots there was no way of making the charge so that enemy would close door due the placement of corsairs, shades and that one loner elf. (also that blackguard unit was actually closer to the combat that it is in the picture :( However due the sportmanship and common sense our opponent allowed us to do the charge and we nudged the shades minimum ammount to make enough room for the charge to be possible. earlier last turn We actually gave them option to retract corsair frenzy charge as my opponent didn't realize/remember that frenzy is forced overrun and that charge exposed corsairs flank right to the skeleton warrior block.

- Carrion Charged a lone elf that I haven't add to the game detail :D

- Large Spearmen block charged giant rats.

- Swordmaster overrun also needs little explaining. The ratswarm had to close the door because Swordmasters were jammed by blood thirster and white lion block.

- Annointed and Spearman block charged goblin spears.

- Eltharin and great eagle charged Dreadspears

- Silver Helms rallied, Skycutter didn't and fled the table.

Both Scorpions, stalkers and Necropolish Knights emerged. Tomb Swarms were delayed.

Close Combat:

- Carriorns failed to kill lone elf.

- Large spearman block broke the gian rats. I tried to restrain pursuit but failed to roll and overrun right in to Hydra and exposed my flank to stormvermins.

- Sword Masters easily destroyed rat swarm and because sisters had cleared the pump wagon in front of them they overran to Plague bearers.

- Phoenix Guard + Frostphoenix managed to break both Blood Thirster and Black orcs and they caught them.

- Spearmen + Annointed managed to break Night Gobln spears and another night goblin unit broke off the table after that, causing panic in warmachines also.

- Eltharion and Great eagle managed to break steadfast Dreadspears and caught them.

- Rat Ogres anhilated tomb scorpions but overrun was snake eyes.

- Banner of the World dragon saved ton of Swordmasters, but so did regneration. I managed to kill the babysitting goblin from trolls and trolls broke combat and couple Plaguebearers died as result of Daemonic Instability

- Hydra + Stormvermins broke spearmen and they fled long distance.

- Stormvermins killed carrions (lone elf is sitll standing)

- Chariots are destroyed, Cold ones first overan (it was REALLY close that they would have caught the spearmen) Black Guards overrun was too short. About inch more they would have gotten away from Skeleton warriors front arc.

- Spearmen took long charge to doom diver

- Silver Helms charged doom diver

- Tomb Scorpion charged rocklobba

- Phoenix guard + Star Dragon Charged rat ogres

SHOOTING:

NOW I don't really know what happened here. Clock was something like 4 am and we had allready played over 12 hours. I prolly shot plague monks to their deaths or witch elves. I don't even have pictures anymore nor video materials to watch what really happend. It is also likely that I managed to kill weapon team. Or that Lone elf perhaps?

CLOSE COMBAT:

- Cold ones and Witch Elves easily killed their targets.

- Herald killed Tomb Scorpion

- Plague Drones killed chariots and overran to Teclis archers!

- Swordmasters finished Plague Bearers

- White Lions Caradryan and the Dreadlord actually had a Challenge the whole time. Now dread lord managed to kill Caradryan and WITH the Mark of Asuryan special rule Caradryan killed the Dreadlord! What an absolutely epic way to end that battle!

My opponents decided to yield at this point. Glorious victory for Order coalition and excellent way to end 8th.
