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.

Battle Report: Marvel

 Hello All,

Had a second gaming day on Sunday, this time its Marvel crisis protocol.

I took the Sentinels, Stan had Spider enemies and Duncan has the commies.

Objectives are collect red tokens which might explode, and stand on blue ones which burn you.

Here's the set up, everyone just started in their corner since we have 3 and the cards are meant for 2.

Moving up into the city, sentinel in the construction grabs a red, iron fist lines up for another next turn. Other teams moving up.

More advancing, doc Oct absolutely smashes sentinel prime down to 1 hit and becomes public enemy number 1. Iron Fist flies up and grabs my second red.

Team Red abandons their blue objectives to focus on murder, I'm just trying to stay alive. I sent the normal Sentinels in to fight the doc and an angry bear ran through a building a bit me.

The turn of death. This turn the doc, thw bear, rhino, maybe more All got killed. Iron Fist started running fir an open blue in the back.

Times up. Most of us lost 2-3 guys, big point of the lasy few turns was black widow becoming public enemy number 2. She will probably get as much attention as doc oc next time hah.

Points was we all had around 10ish but I was a couple up so I decide I am the winner.

Next time maybe we will add a point for dazing guys, might have been a tie then.

Anyways that's the days fun.

Thanks;

Mike

Warhammer Old World: Multizone Tournament

 Hello All,

Yesterday I went to a warhammer old world tournament at multizine, 3 games 1500 points.

I took ogres with a couple of heroes, a bruiser on a big beast, and a butcher. A bunch of ogres, a giant and an iron blaster.

Game 1 vs Chaos Dwarfs:

Set uo fir game 1, seems like very few dwars should be easy right?

Dwarfs advancing a bit on the flank.

I advance up pretty fast, need to get in combat before magic and tank shooting kills to much.

Orc on a wyvern charges my big guy, turns out he is better so this is problematic.

Goblins trying to wound the giant while the wyvern beats down my Stone horn.

Oh dear

Cannon had the tank diwn to 1 wound and the iron guts managed to snake 1 in and kill it. Otherwise didn't do to much, major loss for the ogres.

Game 2 vs Beastmen

Pizza deployment this time, set up to fight monsters and chariots.

Dogs getting right in my face.

Some charges but beasts mostly flee.

Cocaktrice turning my giant to stone on the flank, while the lord blows up ogres with magic.

Kill some chariots and pigs.

Beast wizard deletes my big guy in 1 turn. That is about that.

Keep fighting on but get co.pletly wiped out, Another big ogre loss.

Game 3 vs Orcs

Facing the orcs, chariots boar boys and a giant 

Bug guy gets a lucky charge and kills most if the Boars who hold, giants line up fir a giant snack down.

Orc warboss charges the big guy, loos combat and get run down.

Most of our stuff kills each other while the iron blaster chips away the warboss with cannon balls.

My giant wins the smack down!

Sadly my cannon misfired so couldn't finish off the warboss. Lots of stuff dead on both sides, but orcs still have their expensive units while mine are dead, so it's another big loss.

So that's the tournament, lots of fun.

Thanks;

Battle Report - 40k 3rd Ed

 Hello Folks,

More gaming today, this time its 40k again. Sticking with 3rd edition we have some Space Marines vs Necrons action. 

Scenario wise we did a Necron specfic one from the battle missions book, Implacable Advance. 

Basically 3 objectives to capture, no outflanking. The Necrons are going to March forward in an unstoppable wave.

Here's a blurry shot of the setup, basically a scared trench planet. The white dots are the objectives.

I more or less advance forward and pepper em up a bit with gauss weapons.

Marines black forward jumping into the ruins with thd assault guy, charging scarab with a bike, while the dreadnought stomps forward. 

Very lucky shooting for me kills yhe big guy sadly.

Chaplin looses his men but manages to beat down the Overlord on combat.

However his flesh is promptly scoured from his bones.

Fun game but didn't really work out of the emperors finest. Loosing the big guy to a lucky shot early was a big blow he could have stomped allot of robots into the mud! But anyway no one can stop my shiny gold onslaught.

I am really digging 3rd edition fun times.

Thanks;

Battle Report - Club Day - Games of Thrones

 Hello Folks,

Yesterday was the club day, and the game was the Game of Thrones game by CMON. Lots of people excited to try this one out.

I took my lanisters with some newly added Cav and Kevan in charge to face the Starks.

We played a scenario where you have to capture table quarters.

Here's the set up, lots of infantry with cav on 1 side and the mountain on the other.

Got some good fights going, only big issue is my cav failed their charge and got flanked by a wolf.

I reduced the berserkers to 1 guy, but they kill all my mountain men. The starks have lots of cards for mostly destroyed units to fight at full strength it felt so this became very problematic.

Well I forgot yo take pictures of most turn sadly, was having to much fun. Took for ever for my cav to kill that wolf. Otherwise we pretty much ground down to nothing.

Starks were up a point or 2 and were able to use their non combat guys to claim so quarters to secure the win, which is pretty cool.

Here's some pics of other games:

Lots of giants

Oh snap a dragon.

Pretty neat basing

Anyway thats that for now. Game of Thrones was great so looking forward to next time, will have to paint some crossbows or something. Have to try a new commander as well of course, so many options!

Thanks;

Mike

Battle Report - Old World

 Hello All,

Yesterday was Fantasy day at Fandom, so time for the usual report.

We played the modified version of Comnand and Control, so the gual is to capture the central stone monolith for 200 victory points.

I took my ogres with my new best to dacevthe imperial gun lines.

Here's the set up, beast of the left, giant on the right wanting to eat sone knights.

Turn 1 move forward as fast as possible, fired off the cannon which scared off the thin line of spears.

Empire magic and shooting go hard killing lots of ogres.

Time for the big boy to charge the fanatics. Not ideal but protects him from the cannons. Otherwise mostly pressing forward. The giant I'd playing a bit of cat and mouse.

Again the ogre shooting hurts quote a bit.

Not many ogres left to charge, but it doesn't take many. The giant got the knights as well, Got lucky with stomps.

Empire numbers getting low but the griffion got in on the action.

Going to cone didn to monster v monster, who will win.

Griffon and beasty tearing chunks out of each other.

Griffion ended up winning, due to pre damage from the cannons. Close thou. 

Points wise things ended very close, less the 50 points difference so a draw!

I realized after I ticked the wrong beast in the list builder, meant to have a stile horn but I clicked the other one. The names are do similar hah.

Thanks;

Mike
