High Elves vs. Orc&Goblins (Do not miss this stunning army)

#1 Post by mkragh »

Played a game against Australian ETC Player Roy Diprose and his amazing Undead Orc army back in May. Took a while but the report is finally ready.

This battle is a perfect example of why the Flamespyre Phoenix is the best unit in the new book.

Thanks for the report - a fun read and some lovely armies on the table! Also good to see a Flamie doing well, though it is a shame you never got to napalm any of the Goblin units :(

Hi mkragh!

Great report as always! I had a privilege to see Roy's army in real life and it is indeed a stunning piece of work. His ideas for conversions are simply amazing and his painting skills are great too! It was fantastic to see you magnificently painted army against his so thanks a lot for taking time and writing up the report! Very inspiring indeed! =D>

@ Charles. In the past I have targeted units with the Wake Of Fire attack, problem was I ended up missing attack opportunities. Think the rule of thumb might be to go for the Napalm attack if the unit is too big for an attack. Will test.

@Swordmaster. Roy's army is indeed a pleasure to look at and play against. Good thing he is bad at Warhammer. :lol:

Thanks for reading and enjoying.
