Dwarf vs. High Elves

My opponent won the side picking. Then I got the first placement. Deployment order was

- Right flank ellyrian reavers

- Left flank gyrocopter

- Whitelions

- Long beards

- Silver Helms

- Iron Drakes

- Left flank reavers

- Flame Cannon

- Characters -> I generated ( 3, 3, 4 and 6.) I chose hand of glory and swapped tempest and convocation to signatures.

- Rest of the dwarfs.

He won vanguards

I Won the first turn

I went almost full speed ahead, except with the helms.

Magic: WoM 2+2 and I channeled 1. Thus 5 vs. 2

- Hand of glory 2 pd on whitelions -> succesfull casted increased characteristics by 1.

- Walk between worlds 2 pd on whitelions -> failed dispel. I moved the unit at 12 inch from hammerer / long beards / flame cannon.

- Soul Quench 1 pd on flame cannon -> Succesfull 1 wound.

No shooting, No close combat.

He moved back with the main blocks.

No magic

At shooting he first shot with the flame cannon. He used the dwarf steam with it and scored nearly perfect hit on white lions. I failed with look out sir with the annointed, subsequently failed 3+ ward and he managed to do 3 wounds with the flame killing my general. Total 6 white lions died from flamecannon + irondrakes + gyrocopter. The other gyrocopter dropped bombs on reavers and killed 3 of them.

This picture was little off. I needed 6 to get in close combat with the great eagle and 8 with the flame cannon.

Magic: WoM 5 + 4

-Drainmagic 2 pd. Succesfull casted

- Walkbetween the worlds 3 pd. Dispelled

- Hand of glory 4 PD, spellbreaked.

No shooting

Silverhelms failed to deliver. They managed to do only 1 wound. (expected value of 4 :) and then one died of them when copter attacked and due that the copter didn't break. The Flame cannon was destroyed easily enough and we then realized that my unit was actually flanking the longbeard unit which it overran. Thane called for challenge and my Noble took it. I failed to do single wound, hitted with all attacks, and rolled 3 ones with the star lance. Thane did 2 wounds to my noble which survived because of the great eagle +1 wound. My white lions managed to only do total 4 wounds. I reformed to gain little more attacks.

At close combat we forgot that Iron Drakes had +1 str. It would have caused more wounds on Helms. I got squashed but double 1 break test saved me. In the longbeard battle I naturally couldn't do much about the thane but luckily he also failed to wound me. This time my Whitelions did much more damage and killed ... something like 8 - 10 longbeards. They didn't break though.. I reformed to 5 wide formation.

I tried to even the odds by charging the back of the gyrocoper.

Magic: WoM 2+2 +1 channel.

- Drain magic 2 pd, succesfull

- Hand of glory 3 pd, failed dispell. Increased of 3.

Close combat. My helms and reavers failed to even a single wound and irondrakes managed to kill 3 helms by off chance. Both of my unit broke, Iron Drakes restrained pursuit and gyrocopter failed to catch running silverhelms. My white lions scored really good with the hand of glorified and they almost leveled the whole unit doen (including the rune smith.) Unfortunately my noble wasn't lucky enough to survive this round and died. I restrained pursuit as the thane bsb died on break and faced to take charge from hammererers. [note] We realized after the battle that My friend forgot that he had stubborn banner on the unit. He wouldn't most likely fail the reroll 10 ld break test and hammerers would have got rear charge.

Irondrakes managed to land long flanking charge. Gyrocopter bounced the helms and managed to catch them. Longbeards failed rally (required snake eyes).

At close combat I made a challenge with my Archmage and hammerer champion took it of. (this denyed two flanking attacks) hammerers got badly hammered. I killed 12 of them and 1 from the flank. Hi killed something like 6 of my lions (most from the flank ;) ) Hammerers were stubborn and iron drakes managed to hold.

Reavers rallied

WoM 5+6

- Drain magic 3 pd. succesfull casted

- Hand of glory 4 pd, irrestible force. Increased characteristic of 3 (detonation) no casualty for the High Elves 5 casualties for dwarfs. Lost 1 dic.

- Walk between world 4 pd, dispelled.

At close combat my Hand of Glorified lions reduced hammerers to only command. The wizard was forced to use Crown of Atrazar. Iron Drakes broke from combat, hammerers survived due stubborn.

Longbeeard ran from the board. Iron drakes failed to rally.

Gyrocopter shooting killed one reaver.

At close combat my mage finally slayed his foe. Both musician and banner bearer was put out of their misery and gyrocopter broke from combat and was caught by white lions.

Reaver caught the running iron drakes.

WoM 1+3

- Drain magic 1 pd, succesfull

- Walk between world 1 pd, succesfull

- Hand of glory 1 pd, succesfull, increased 1 characteriscics

- Soul quench on gyro copter -> failed to dispel so succesfull.

My opponent tried to cause panic in my lions, but no wounds were made 4+ armor 3+ ward made sure of it. My opponent yielded at this point.

Final Score was 1750 - 765
