Ok, so I got the one battle that I was able to do a report on done up and it has been uploaded as an edit of the original post. Looking back at it, I can see that I should have marched more, to close the gap faster so as to get into charge range sooner. During the magic phase, I could have been more active, but that may have also caused him to not want to play me again in the future(he is promising a world of hurt next time we play).

All in all I did the same as in the first game, but with less magic or more magic. The games he managed to keep his whole force from being obliterated he basically played tag-your-it with my troops...oh well!

Hope the BC pics help out Elithmar.

Even for the slow TK, he seemed to be really far away and taking a long time to get anywhere. He should be in range to shoot you on turn 2 at the latest.

You have lots of statements about allocating hits to Ushabti in there. You never allocate hits to specific rank-and-file models. If the unit takes 7 wounds, you remove 2 models and the unit is short another wound.

Thanks for that info Dabber...I was wondering about it, but the TK player was adamant that that is how it was handled in a GW location. Now I know for next time.

Also, here are some picks of my finally base painted spear elves, as well as some others...the basses only took 2 and a half weeks to get to me from the USA...

Saying "it is done this way in a GW store" is almost equivalent to saying "I am making up rules". GW stores are notorious for not knowing the rules. Seriously, anytime someone makes a statement like that, they demonstrate they don't know the rules.

The remaining 3 skeletons ran
Skeletons do not run, they feel no fear. What have they to fear when they are dead?

dabber covered the other points, but great game. Glad you won them all by such a large margin. Good luck in the tourney.

So, it is 1am here and I still have a day full of gaming so I should be asleep. However, I can not sleep as right now I am leading at the tournament with 13 wins so far and another 6 games to play. I would have had a draw against a gun line from Dwarfs, but I managed in my last turn to go up by 500 points witch got me the win by only 100 points.

So, I have been defeated. My last game came against the OK player who went 19-0. I will have the battle report up so that I can try and figure out what went wrong during the battle...other than my mages blowing up...it was a very disappointing game...I just have this to say: Isha was not well pleased with what happened and nothing prepared me for what I faced...lost by 600 points...

I will have the batrep from the OK game up later tonight with words as that is really the only game I remember...I went from work right to the first day so I was up for more than 24 hours before I got any sleep then Day 2 had me play another 7 games to have played 14 games in 2 days with only 6 hours of sleep.

My last game I managed to take notes as I was loosing from the start. Wanted to show you all that I am still a mortal General. I did not get my game in against my friend though so I only have the one Batrep to put up.

Batrep for the OK game.


Turn 1:
Image
OK
The Ogres lumber forward, eager for battle. Leadbelcher #1 fires at the Dragon Princes, killing 1, Leadbelcher #2 fires at the archers killing 2 while the Ironblaster fired on the Spears killing a total of 6.

Image
HE:
The Dragon Princes charge into Mournfang #2, killing 1 and loosing 2 in return and pass their leadership test. Both Mages fail to cast their spells, Flesh to Stone and Earth Blood, rolling snake eyes each then proceeding to role “Dimensional Cascade” and are removed from play as are a total of 3 Sword Masters. The bolt throwers and Archers combine for 3 kills: 2 Ogres and 1 Mounrfang.

Turn 2:
Image
OK
Both Leadbelcher units move up while Ogre unit 2 charges into the flank of the Dragon Princes, killing both before they can attack back and Mournfang #1 charges the closest Bolt Thrower, smashing it into thousands of tiny splinters. The Archers are blown to oblivion by the Ironblaster.

Image
HE:
Sword Master #1 charges the flank of Ogres #2, killing 2 and loosing 2 in return. The Spears and other swords charge into Ogre #1, killing 4 and suffering a total of 6 losses combined. The last 2 bolt throwers inflict a kill each: 1 leadbelcher in each unit.

Turn 3:
Image
OK
The 1st unit of Sword Masters got whipped out as Mournfang #2 and Leadbelchers #2 charged into them, suffering a loss to each unit. Mournfang #1 charges into the second bolt thrower, also demolishing it to dust. The first unit of Ogres get killed off along with the Butcher, taking out 2 spears.

Image
HE:
The remaining Spears and Swords charge into the first Mournfang unit, killing the last 2 and losing 4 more spears. The 2nd unit of Mournfang was killed off by the remaining bolt thrower.

Turn 4:
Image
OK
The remaining Ogre units manoeuvre towards the remaining Elves. The Ironblaster hit the spears, killing 6, and the remaining Leadbelchers kill 2 more sword masters.

Image
HE:
The Spearmen charge the remaining Leadbelcher of unit #2, killing it and over charging into the last unit of Ogres and Bruiser, killing 1 before getting slaughtered.

Turn 5:
Image
OK
The Bruiser and his 2 Ogres remaining charged the last bolt thrower while the Ironblaster killed off the last of the Sword Masters.

Yeah...the organizers asked him why he didn't take it and he said he didn't know he could take it at 1500 points. The game against the Ogres was fun but not as much fun as it could have been...with no magic at all and missing the DP, I was hurting for close combat.

We are allowed to make an adjustment for the second part of the tournament, for the "Final 10" and I am thinking about taking out my 5 Dragon Princes for another unit of 10 Swords without command if need be unless I can find the points for it by reducing my Spears to 20 from 24.

I have another week to alter it and play a few games against my friend who has Ogres and the same units as a tester.

Are you playing 8th ed. ?
Because now, you don't get miscasts when you roll snake eyes. Only when you get double 6.
In this case, both you mages should have just failed their spells, but in any case they should have roll anything on the miscast table...
And they should have been still alive ^^

Heya Talifan,

Nice blog. You really crushed that TK player. He probably quit playing Warhammer after that :wink:

What type of war table are you making? I wish I had all that space to make big terrain projects.

My bro and I are preparing (painting) our armies for battle, by then I will post some batreps too.

Gonna keep an eye on your projects, keep it up. :D

Hey Wolf! Thanks for the comments! I am building a 4x8 table that will have removable Mountains with a gate built into it and a removable White Tower of Hoeth, big projects I know but worth it!

I have another battle report to state and it was against Traitorous High Elves and it was against a friend of mine who I have played 2 times prior, losing a total of 20 models combined.

Today's game was the first game where I took Pictures and to be honest I lost track of what pics where for what turn and completely forgot to take pictures for at least 2 turns so I came up with a way to combat that and fix it for next time. Also, we have decided to try a voice recording so that the game can be transcribed better.

Please bear with me as I will have the pics first then what happened during the game after the pictures...VP were: 1407 - 75(Total Massacre for me as he managed to kill 5 Spearmen and 2 Swords.

Today's game: 1500 pt HE vs HE

My friend had:
Noble on Barded steed, Blade of Sea Gold, DA, Enchanted Shield
Lvl 1 Mage, Silver Wand, Amulet of Fire, Dispel Scroll
14 Archers with LA and FC
15 Spears, FC
10 LSG, Shields, FC
10 Silver Helms, Shield, FC
10 Sword Masters, FC, Banner of Arcane Protection, Sword of Striking
1 RBT

My list:
Lvl 2 Mage, Silver Wand
Lvl 2 Mage, Seerstaff of Saphery
20 Spearmen, FC
10 Archers, Mus
10 Swords, FC
10 Swords, FC
10 Swords
3 RBTs

Spells:
Me - Earth blood and Throne of Vines
- Awakening, Flesh to stone and Dwellers Below
Rebels - Curse of Arrow Attraction and Fury of Khaine

Placement:

Turn 1:
All movement for both sides

Turn 2:
Rebels moved forward, and his mage attempted cast Drain Magic with the Winds of Magic going 9 v 3. Drain Magic failed to go off with a roll of 3.

My forces moved forward as well, with no magic attempted. Shooting saw 1 Sword Master killed by one of my RBTs after moving and at max range.

Turn 3:
Rebels moved forward once more, followed by a shooting phase that saw 2 of my Spearmen killed by his RBT.

My turn 3 saw me move forward once again, cast Throne of Vines but roll a double 6. On the roll to see if the miscast was negated, a 1 was rolled, so I then proceeded to roll a 7 for Detonation on the Table. Shooting saw my friends Mage, his RBT and 3 LSG get killed by my three RBTs.

Turn 4:
With no Magic or shooting, the Rebels marched forward to get into combat

My forces began to maneuver for charges to be made or received. Magic saw me get 4 power dice and attempt Flesh to stone using 2 but come up short. Shooting saw 4 Silver Helms, 4 Sword Masters, and 4 LSG fall to more bolts from my Bolt Throwers.

Turn 5:
Rebels moved again, and during shooting the LSG took out 1 lone Sword Master.

I managed more movement, then my RBTs killed 3 more Swords and 3 more LSG.
Turn 6:
Rebels charged Silver Helms into Spears and Spears into Swords on opposite sides of the board. In Close Combat, the Silver Helms killed 3 Spears and lost 3 in return. Silvers stayed after loosing combat. The Spears failed to inflict any damage on the Sword Masters and I killed 2 in Return.

My Turn 6 saw the Silver Helms flank charged by Swords and the Spears also flank charged by the other Sword Master unit. Shooting say the last of the Sword Masters killed and 8 of the Archers killed off as well before fleeing. Close Combat saw the Spears lose 2 then 4 and kill none on return and stay. Close Combat for the Swords and Spears against the Silver Helms saw the Silver Helms and Noble get killed off by the Sword Masters before they could attack back. With the loss of the General, the rebel spears ran and got hunted down by the Swords facing the direction they ran. End of Game!

C&C welcome!

So the table is all roughed in! Time to start planning the mountains and gate, and the White Tower then make stands of trees.

River has been carved in, and 2 bridges are going to be built for it. Also, there is a small area between the river and swamp to go past.

are you aware you're supposed to deploy around 24" apart? not, like, 50?

table has the potential to become really awesome, what material are you using? have you started on the removable pieces yet? hope to see more pics when it's nearing completion :)

Supposed to deploy? As far as I know there is no limit as to how far apart you can deploy.

As for the table, I am using insulating Foam "glued" together by expanding foam. You can see more pics of it here: http://www.ulthuan.net/forum/viewtopic. ... 2&start=30

That is a big terrain project indeed. It looks like you have all the tools and room to make it a succes. The battle you played looked like it took place on a frozen waste with big cracks in the ice :D

ok, put a little differently then:

all the scenarios in the rulebook use a distance of 12" or less from the middle line as the end of either player's deployment zone. ofcourse you can deploy further back if you want to, but the rules are writen with a gap of around 18" to 30" between the players in mind.

ofcourse you can play however you like with your friends, but i just noticed in you civil war game, and in the game against TK aswell, that the large distance between the armies put one player at a severe disadvantage...

p.s. i dont want to be anoying or anything, but just think it might make your games more interesting :)

cheers

Fair enough, but allot of players do not use the games in the rule books and the distances were not picked by me, they were rolled for randomly. Your not being a pain or annoying so no worries. and we set up 18 inches from the edge of the board.
