Hello Folks,
Went to a Old World tournament at Red Dragon thus past weekend, so here is the usual report.
Tried out my new Wood Elf army for the first time, so lots of mistakes made and things learned but had fun!
Game 1: vs Nuln in Field of Glory
First game was against the empire with all the warmachines. Not super allot to say about this one, first turn luck was not for me and the damage was devastating. Lost my wild riders, lv mage, waywatcher ect..
I tried to go heavy on 1 flank but leave a bit elsewhere to keep things pinned. Wouldn't mind a second try against this list to be honest.
Bug holes getting blasted in the elven lines.
Trying to advance and do some shooting.
Missing the last picture but I got wiped out, vert devastating loss by over 2000 points.
Game 2: vs High Elves in Chance Encounter
Game 2 fighting high elves, mission is to vo trol the table quarters, and murder of course.
My thinking is they are better at fighting the me so shoot em up, send the wardancers in to tease for as many sword masters as possible, and try have the wild riders charge with good timing.
Turn 1 for the high elves, or evil elves if you prefer. Elysian reavers charged my Scouts but just barely didn't make it in. Wizard made the sword masters ethereal, and sone scattered shooting.
This is a few turns later I guess. But various cars charging my Scouts on the right and having a hard go to be honest. Eagles all dead, but distraction treenen are helping me win the shooting war. Wardancer went around the sword masters, as they can't hurt them if the are ghosts and started cutting up the soft high under belly.
If the wild riders can charge the sword guts at a time they are not ethereal I think I'm ok of not I dunno.
Elves pushing up the middle, cav killing scout unit but getting chipped away. Enough good luck for me and bad saves whittled them away.
Rangers not really wanting to fight ethereal sword master magic away. But the sword master muscat the spell and got dimensional cascaded. Maybe that was the turn before actually?
Wild riders ended up having to charge ethereal sword masters, but a few lived, I'll take it.
Finally the cav found the arcane booking archers that could penetrate their armor and got killed. Swird masters charge the rangers without ethereal and loose. I was quote surprised there, but I just had the numbers.
In the end was a big win for the true elves.
Game 3: vs more high elves in king of the hill
King if the hill, need a core unit to stand in the middle to score points. All my core are fragile archer units hmm.. Still I scouted my wardancers in wood in front of silver Helms which seemed fun. Also got a archer unit in the back.
High Elves go first, Reavers ride over to counter my Scouts, knights charge. I think I traded 1 dancer for 1 knight and left the standing right infront of the Wild riders, accide try worked out.
My turn, plauge of rust are arcane booking turn out to be bad news for the Dragon princes on the hill. Like wise the wild riders ride diwn the knights. Thought that would be harder.
High Elves decided to get their birds involved. General o griffion charges my archers, who win and push him back. Pheonix flies over the riders and kills half of en. Ouch
My turn again, trekking charge the Spearman and kill a few but break, the spears change facing to confront the wild riders. Griffion continues to struggle, archery duel on the left flank, bird deep on the right.
Rest of the pics didn't save, but despite only the wild rider banner surviving the initial contact he eventually gets all of em! I clean up the archers, the griffion eats 1 unit but not a second.
Enter the final math phase, difference of only 8 points! A draw after a great game.
Very fun tournament!
3 2k games is a bit long thou I would personally prefer a bit less points a bit faster games, anyways great to try out the wood elves look forward to the next small tournament.
Thanks;
Mike
