The bid was WAY lower than the Buy now...and the bid had only 14 hours left. So far so good!

EDIT: Got the model for a grand total of $10.95 Canadian! Should have it by the and of next week.

Well, even with so little time, I have managed to be challenged to 10 games against Tomb Kings...not sure how it happened but it did. I am not sure if i will be able to get battle reports up in detail, just due to time constraints...but I will be able to put a small blurb about what happened in each game after they take place.

My new Griffin should be here in the next day or so as well. Looking forward to that, and a total count of models has revealed that I have just under 400 models all together!

Mine came in just 5 hours ago actually. I might order a second one, so I can retire my Pegasus if they dont bring them back for 8th. My May pledge is huge...I also sold the new White Lions, one mage and 5 of the Sword Masters to a friend for his force. I think I may be playing him on the 14th...not sure yet

So My games against a TK player are coming up. 1500 pts, magic is allowed so I have taken 2 mages to his one. I am stuck on what Lores to take though...I dont really know what works well against TK so any advice would be great.

Their leadership is pretty good so not death as I was about to suggest. Shadow always works, or a mini light coven would be nice to make use of the lore attribute... Depends how mean you want to be. ;) Id it's pretty hard lists I'd say light for both. If you're just having a laugh, any lore really.

What do you usually take and what will the rest of your list be like?

Looking forward to the report. ;)

I'd say light then - the bubble buffs could help your swords too.

Why not make the noble a BSB though? Not enough points? I'm sure you could find them, a BSB is always useful...

Why is your opponent using Skeleton warriors? Even with a Prince, they're a terrible choice. And in so small numbers...

I might be able to make him a bsb, but I would have to lose a Command to get him. He has not purchased models since Tomb Kings came out back in 6th(?). He has 1500 pts and thats where he has sat for years. He is married with three kids and he puts his family first for sure.

He has a raise coming at work with a nice little bonus check. He will be getting some new models then to make it a 2500 pt army and wants rematches when he gets them set up and primed. The games against him start today in less then 40 mins here, at 8am and we will play all of then through till we are done. I will have reports but as we will be playing so many games in one day(10+) I will only have written reports. Also, depending on how this force does, I may take it to the Local Tournament next weekend. The only rules are 1500 pts, no special characters.

I have the list of players and am not surprised to find that I am the only HE player. There are 4 Bret, 4 O&G, 6 Beastmen, 2 Lizard Men, 2 DE, and 1 OK as well as me. We play all other players over 3 days of playing. The winner is the player with the best Win/Loss record at the end of the 3 days.

Yes...thank Isha. Those ones are in another tournament the weekend after. Then the top 5 of each tournaments face off in the same format as this one. The winner of e final round of the tournament is named "Central Alberta Top General" and is instantly into the top 10 tournament for the next year...if they dont want to wade through the 19 games before.

So in the next week, I will be playing 29 games...with another 9 two weeks later if I get into the top 5 of my group...I might be gamed out by the end of the month! lol

Not stupid. It's kinda hard to describe I think. It's the kind of lists or units people take in your area. Like hordes, or lots of monsters, maybe death sniping lists.

Correct me if I'm wrong, anybody. Or give a better definition. ;)

To me the term 'meta' means exactly what Elithmar says it means.

For instance the meta near me is hordes of infantry and monster support. But Elithmar may have a different meta where he faces alot of cavalry or gunlines.

Hope this helps as it took me a fair amount of time to learn that and i still don't know what some terms used on the interweb mean. For instance it took me a week to understand what MSU mean't and only realised what AHA means so i'm still learning.

Edit: Is the title suppost to say "Spaherian or Sapherian?"

I honestly dont know what I will be facing as I have not played any of them before. And it is supposed to be Sapherian...I shall change that. Just a small break in the battles today...7 done, 3 to go. I have won all 7 games by a huge margin in every one.

Your forces are still mustering Milord Ele. Once the muster has finished I know that your force will defend our fair realm with all the zeal and grace that our race is known for. Only time will allow for your warriors to be mustered and once they are our glorious King will call upon you to help defend against the forces of disorder. I know that I would be more than Honored to have you and your warriors stand with me and mine when we face our hated cousins for the last time before we take the war to them, butchering them and sending them back to the realm of Chaos where they belong.

Your time will come Milord, I know it shall.

Re: Talifan's Sapherian Defenders

So I managed to get just 1 battle report done from the 12 games played against the TKs and I apologize for that. Basically all the games were the same with some alterations on his part to try new ways to kill me...he came close at times, but nothing came from it. I do not have any pics or a BC report to show. I have added the VP from each battle to show somewhat how things turned out at the end of 6 turns(if we even got there) I will attempt to create a BR using BC tonight while at work to help with the visualization.


Game 1 TK vs HE 1500pts played on a 4x4 ft table with 2 hills, a fence and rocky ground with 3 small woods.
Image

Turn 1
TK:
Image
Turn 1 saw him move all of his forces forward. His Skeletal Cavalry swung wide to the left. His shooting phase was none existent as his archers were to far out of range. Magic saw him attempt to cast a buffer but it was easily dispelled by myself. His second spell did not get off as he rolled a miserable 3, needing an 8.

HE:
Image
Turn 1 saw me move towards his units, my Dragon Princes to the left of both units of Sword Masters with my Spears sitting between my Archer Units. With my Bolt Throwers staying put, and both within range of Ushabti #1, they both unleashed a volley that saw lucky rolls of 4s, 5s and 6s from all 12 dice for 12 hits with only 5 wounds being caused. Dice rolled to see who got how many wounds saw the right Ushabti allocated 3 wounds and killed off.

Turn 2
Image
TK:
Once again the TK forces moved forward towards my line, now only 30 inches away. His archers were once again out of range and his Skull Catapult managed to roll a misfire and then he proceeded to roll a 1, destroying the Catapult. His magic failed miserably with three spells failing to get off with rolls of 3, 5, and 3 once again.

Image
HE:
Again, marching forward, my forces ate up the distance between the forces, eager to bloody their swords. Shooting one again saw by RBT’s shoot at the 1st Ushabti unit, gaining 7 hits and causing another 4 wounds. Allocation saw another Ushabti hit the dust, with the last one passing his Panic Test and having 1 wound remaining.

Turn 3

Image
TK:
With the gap shrunk to 20 inches, the Skeletal Horses moved to make room for a charge into my Dragon Princes, with his Tomb Guard and last remaining Ushabti unit lining up to hold my Sword Masters in check. His archers finally managed to shoot, making a combined 6 hits and 1 wound on my Sword Masters which was saved with a 6. His Magic Phase was as last, very weak and under powered, failing to cast a spell and having the one he did cast dispelled quite easily 10-7 on 2 dice.

HE:
With the archers sitting tight, the other units pushed forward to the point where it was impossible to be charged by any of the TK units. My archers concentrated on the 2nd Ushabti unit, making a total of 14 hits with 8 wounds being caused and 2 being saved. Allocation saw all three Ushabti receive 2 wounds each. The Bolt Throwers focused on the Skeleton Cavalry, making a total of 5 hits and killing 2. Magic saw my mages each cast Banishment using 3 dice and the TK player was un able to dispel either of them. Both units of Skeleton Warriors were targeted with the first unit suffering 9 S5 hits and the second suffering 11 S5 hits with 7 from the first and 4 from the second unit getting killed. Both passed tests.

Turn 4

Image
TK:
With no units close enough to charge, the TK forces plod forward as always. The archers once again try to take out some Sword Masters but low rolls once again saw only 3 hits and 0 wounds. TK magic was successful this time, but the spell was also dispelled easily by 4, ending the magic phase.

Image
HE:
With charges possible, both Sword Master units and the Dragon Princes elect to charge and all roll a successful charge. SM1 charged the right hand SW, SM2 charged the SW on the left and the DP charged the Skeleton Horsemen. My games augmented both units of Swords with Speed of Light and once again the TK player failed to dispel. Shooting saw the last of the Ushabti killed off by the RBTs and archers. Close combat saw SM1 kill a total of 10 Skeletons, while losing 1 to return attacks. The remaining 3 skeletons ran but were over run by the pursuing SM in retribution for the loss of their comrade. SM2 made a total of 7 kills, while losing 3 to the last remaining unit of Skeleton Warriors. The Skele Warriors held firm. The Dragon Princes made mince meet out of the Skeleton Horsemen, killing all 8 remaining models before they could even reply.

Turn 5

Image
TK:
Turn 5 saw the Tomb Guard charge into the left flank of SM2, his archers charged into SM1 is a desperate gamble and his Priest also charged my 1st unit of SM. Close Combat saw the rest of the Skeleton Warriors get butchered along with 3 Tomb Guard while taking another 4 losses. SM2 held firm. SM1 butchered the Skeleton Archers, turning them to dust and then proceeded to Slice and dice the Priest.

Image
HE:
In what was to be the last turn, the DP unit charged into the left flank of the Tomb Guard with the second unit of SMs charging into the rear. Shooting was skipped over while once again my mage with SM2 managed to get off Speed of Light within a 12” area casting it with a 17. In close combat, the Tomb Guard got pounded into dust while inflicting a grand total of 6 wounds, killing 0. The end of the Turn saw all the remaining units of TK become piles of dust.

I had to check if my spears were still in my case as they are exactly the same paint style and even the same equipment and poses in places! Small world...

Wow, congratulations on your wins. If you can get some diagrams up that would really help, then I'll comment on the games.
