I need to remind him of that. The loss of the BSB hurt him a lot - S5 is a whole lot less than S6, especially against an incoming Treeman.SpellArcher wrote: your General is pretty destructive.
Turn 3.
The Shaman-Gor charge the Treekin, theBeastlord-Gor charge one eagle, while the Bestigor charge the other.
Shaggoth evades.
Magic is quite big - I manage both Savage Beast on the Great-Shaman and Wildform on his unit. The big guys had 7 S8 attacks and a toughness of 6 at this point - quite a statline!
The Bestigor quickly deal with their speedbump and manage to overrun into the Driads.
The Shaman-Gor tear up the Treekin and run them down.
The Beastlord in the meanwhile fails his primal fury test and causes only 1 wound on the eagle. His unit adds another one and the bird promptly rolls Insane Courage...
The Treeman sees his opportunity and charges the Beastlord-Gor, as does the lone Wild Rider.
The BSB on stag and the Life Archmage evade the Shaman-Gor.
Fulminating Cage at the Shaman-Gor goes through in the magic phase. Shooting puts two more wounds on the Shaggoth (down to 2 at this point) and kills several Shaman-Gor.
The Beastlord, no longer weakened by Soul Blights, finally brings down the eagle and his companions barely kill the Wild Rider. The Treeman fluffs his rolls and I hold on - reforming to face the Spirit.
Bestigors butcher the Driads and run them down.
Turn 4.
Shaman-Gor charge the Glade Guard, taking the hits from the Cage. Thanks to T5 this does little damage.
Bestigors reform and head back towards the fighting. Shaggoth decides to avoid the Eternal Guard and moves towards the rest of my army, now in the north.
Magic does little of note.
The Beastlord-Gors deal two wounds to the Treeman, but lose another rank of their own. They are now without Frenzy and things are looking rather grim.
The Elves reshuffle.
Magic does nothing. Shooting does yet another wound to the poor Shaggoth.
The Treeman finally does his thing, breaks the Beastlord-Gor and runs them down. I might have forgotten they were still steadfast.
Most of the battle is done. I might have lost the general but things aren't all bad. The Shaman-Gor have been impressive in particular. Can they keep this up?
