Battle Report - Old World Wood Elves vs Empire

 Hello All,

Had the pleasure to play another game with Mr. Nick this evening who is practicing for a big event.

Decided to try out my dragon, gotta get the bug green guy in a game!

We played a mission from the tournament pack, kind of standard battle with table quarters, 2 strategic locations and secret objectives. I took 1 where you had to kill the enemy general.

Here's the set up, I put wildriders on 1 flank, dragon on the other to spread out the threats, infantry in the middle, skirmishers in the woods hoping to mess with artillery.

Empire went first but didn't do much except try to shoot some scouts who used evasive.

I moved up with most no shooting stuff, killed some skirmishing archers. Really want to somehow slip the wild riders past the tank. Which will be impossible if it's aggressive, but ok if it's not since I can use the wood to block my sight.

Empire position sone halberds and the griffon to fight the dragon and shoot sone shots killing a guy or 2 here and there.

Seems like i got excited and skipped some pictures! On the left the wild riders ride past the tank and stood in the open in front of the outsiders. This risk worked out and I only lost half. Then got the empire cav. 

On the left big green charged the halberds, who feed the dragon a priest and I bounced back 2. The griffon then charged in, but ot turns out griffion v dragon is bad for griffons. Now he's feasting on halberds.

I had moved my rangers 1" from the empire big block of spears who now charged. I thought i could win this fight, but only if they did this. Turned out to be a draw due to the griffon standard. Oh also the empire mage blasted my poor dancers off the table.

But then they get flanked by a dragon and treemen. At this point the empire called it. They would have killed my riders probably, so like 500 points for them, I win by some amount.

Anyways fun game. 

Thanks;

Mike

Battle Report - Old World Renegades vs Empire

 Hello Folks,

Played a game of Old World with Nic today, decided to bring my 100 yrs war guys again but this time tried the renegade crowns list out. Not really that much different but maybe a bit better, full plate vs ability to redeem and get the ladies blessing?

Anyway we played some kind of flanking mission with 3 objectives.

Here's the set up, basically solid foot in the center cover by chaff archer units, cav on the flanks, 1 unit of brigands scouted into the tower, other try to chase the outsiders off my flank.

Empire goes first advancing and picking a few kills with cannons.

My turn I shot crossbows at the griffion  doing good wounds, but sadly my big unit of brigands failed terror and got run down. We forgot the griffion could reform after that I guess.

Knights move up a bit out of arc of the griffion, and I try some shooting and magic. Advancing a but slow as I only want to fight the huge empire blob with 2-3 units.

Griffon flies super close to my bombard, who apparently doesn't get grap shot, and keep blinking with cannons. The tank plays with my light cav.

Griffon rats my cannon and in general the empire advance.

Crossbows bring diwn the griffon. In retrospect we had to many guys shooting out of the building. My knights are able to push back some halbreds and do major damage to some falgellants. But might cav fail morale and leave. Oh also empire mage had a second muscat and killed herself.

The big empire block finally charges, but rolls aggressively crap dice, 2 or 3? Heroes got zero kills. My spears  quite lucky. Keeping their crap dice going the empire fully break and get run down. So that's the game.

Win for the renegade, but the empire probably had it of they didn't get ancy and charge. Plus bad luck.

Also forgot the spears have warband and thus impetious, so some mistakes made. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks;

Mike

Battle Report - 40k Day

 Hello Folks,

Time for another 3rd ed 40k battle Report! This time we have Tyranids vs Imperial Guard, and the mission is meat grinder.

Tyranids are attacking so their troops units get to come back, however they must completely kill the guardsmen to win.

Here's the set up, 65 guardsnen deoyed to defend the emperors territory. Many claws and sharp jawbones ready to eat em.

Tornados advance, not much shooting but get a few guys.

Guards shoot back wounding the hive tyrant, and killing all but 1 ravener and von Ryan's leapers.

Fast tyranids able to get i to combat, but the ws4 drugged up Jordan somethings are annoyingly sticky.

Guard shoot em up, bringing the tyrant to 1 wound, but a plasma gunner blows himself up.

Second wave incoming. A heroic senior officer held out against hormagaunts, only to have a carnifex tap on his shoulder.

Guard in the rocks fight off the last ravener.

Game ends after turn I think 6, only half a dozen guardsmwn cowering in a rock wating for thr carnifex to kill them

But they are there so Guard win!

Very fun game, but came out quite close. I thought it would be more 1 sides. Shows what I know!

Next games day at Fandom, is Jan 10th.

Thanks;

Mike
