Battle Report - Warhammer Fantasy Beginners Tournament

 Hello Folks,

Yesterday there was another Warhammer Old World tournament at Red Dragon. This time it was more friendly for new people, so 1,000 points, no mage lords no big dragons, also no basing requirement.

I took Lizards men, couple blocks of sarus, skinks, kroks, terradons, scar vet and skink cheif.

Game 1 vs Chaos Warriors


Here's the set up, mission is to kill each other's general, chaos is in the knights, mine is in a sarus block.


Coming forward, shooting them up a bit.


Terradons flee from a charge, otherwise really getting in there.


Time for battle, Small units of chaos but need to kill em before I get flanked.


Lots pf shooting at the chosen knights, I don't want to fight them so shooting is the way to go.


Now we are getting somewhere. Keep getting draws in this big fight. Also my general us down to 1 wound after dueling a chaos sorceror.


Just hammering the k lights with poison shooting, slowly chipping them out.


In the end just the chaos lord is left in the knights, my guy still on 1 wound so it's a draw. Very fun game.

Game 2 vs Orcs in capture the hill


Set up for the second game. Goal now is to capture the hill. My play is to kill the flank stuff with skinks, whittle diwn the big unit the charge, bit optimistic maybe.


Orcs take the hill.


Advance up the skinks and fire some shots.


Orcs advance again, the squigs are rolling low numbers so aren't really able to press the skinks. But fanatacitd deal with my terradons.


Mire shooting but the javelin skinks also get killed by fanatics.


Art yo soften up the trolls but no luck.


Orcs try a foot of work. Next turn it scatters back through them killing the mage and a bunch of orcs.


Try my charges but it doesn't go well. Ended up getting killed piece meal.


Orcs take the hill and win game 2.

Game 3: vs Warriors of Chaos


Set up for game 2, I'm the attacker and need to get 333 points in the defenders deployment to win.


I dont want to fight chaos knights, maybe the skinks can pepper them up real good.


Woth some crazy luck turns out yes they can. OK guess we got a game hah.


Time for charging, we both roll kinda bad so this sarus vs warriors chat will be awhile.


Meanwhile marauders with flails smoke the kroks and my hero with sarus unit is being hard done by a gore beast chariot.


We just grinding each other to pieces.


Sarys win one but lose the other, but its very late in the game and the marauders and chariot are a but out of position. So I'm able to claim a victory.

Three very fun games, really enjoyed this format 1k so faster games, easy scenarios, no le stuff good times.
