Hello All,
This past weekend I was able to attend a 6th edition Warhammer Fantasy Tournament, that was hosted at the local Capital City Bloodbath gaming convention.
Was great time and a great very, they had bug 40k and AOS tournaments going on as well woth close to 300 people I guess the day I was there.
Anyway I played my new Warriors of Chais army, with 2 units of warriors, chariot, Horsemen, trolls, giant, and a couple of heroes.
Game 1: vs Empire in a Pitched Battle
Deoyed for battle, knights on 1 flank outriggers on the other, hellblaster volley gun in the middle flanked by block of infantry with detachments. Plus a mortar and handgunners near the forest. I'm mainly worried about the hellblaster.
Turn 1 I advance full speed, and try my shadiws magic, nit much damage. Sitting back def not the plan against the guns of the empire. The trolls are stupid thou which names the slow, learned you need to keep them by the general.
The empire peppers up a bot but not to bad.
My turn the horseman charge and over run the mortar, and the handgunners panic. Other the the giant shifting to face the knights another advance. Oh plus the chariot breaking a detachment.
Missed a couple of pictures but the empire charged the giant on their turn, and killed, most of my chosen warriors with halberds w8th the hellblaster, who then ran. On my turn they rallied, my Horsemen got ready to charge the hand gunners, and the chariot got turned around. The knights clipped my warriors after killing the giant and are slowly getting ground down.
Handgunners turn to face and they empire get ready for another fight.
Things get bad fast from there, the trolls actually pass a stupid test and charge the empire block with chariot support easily breaking them, and the chariot overruns into the hellblaster killing it on the empire turn. The outsiders try charging the chosen, but have bad luck on the charge and the 2 chosen are easily chopping them.
Last empire block breaks and thats that, end up a pretty solid Chaos victory.
Game 2: vs Lizardmen in Headhunters (double points of character kills)
Set up for game 2, lizardmen with skinks, lots of salamanders, krokigors with skins in front, a block of sarus and some terradons. My spells in this game were a 20" move and another that let you charge.
Moves up aggressively, planning to use my magic to send the giant or Horsemen into the flyers, but got shit diwn by a dispel scroll.
Terradons easily clear up my horsemen.
Move up to closer range. And the trolls charge the skinks, easily kill and over run into the kooks. No luck on magic again.
Fliers charge my mage, a big mistake on my part, I thought they could only charge in the front arc, buy not they skirmish. The Chaos Sorceror is pretty tough thou so lives a turn. The trolls loose and flee blocking my chosen from charging, so not great. I shifted them to try a magic charge but got dispelled again. Also the giant got stuck fighting jungle Swarms which is the worst case for him.
My chariot cleaned up the salamanders, but big the sarus charge my other block of warriors. My general is able to kill the sarys character after 2 turns, but annoyingly the warriors break and are overrun. Also the sorceror dies.
Lizards close the net on the chosen.
And eventually chase off the chariot. So a pretty big loss pf the Chaos. I feel like this was winnable thou with a bit better luck and some magic going off!
Game 3: vs Gnoblars in Supplies
Set up for game 3, just a solid wall of goblins type guys. The bits of paper are the supplies 5 of them you get 100 bonus points for having control of more, fir each extra you have.
Gnobka4s advance with some bickering.
Advance and use my spell to get the g8ant in behind.
Gnoblars charge the chosen and turn to face the giant.
The chosen crush face as they do, but the trolls and other warriors both charge loose and get overrun!? Out on the flank the chariot is fight 2-3 units at a time and winning.
Gnoblars charging the chosen, but that just gives them more guys to kill! Also giant wreaking havoc.
Chosen continue to cut a bloody swath through the gnoblars, same for the chariot, the rest try to grab supplies and stay alive.
Surronding the giant.
He smashes out.
In the end the fantasy tournament was great fun, look forward to the next one.
