Chico:
Hey,
Yesterday i had my first large game with my Chaos Dwarfs, which turned out to both be a lot of fun and a close game (Too start with at least).
My List:
SP W/ ES, ToP, LoH
BSB W/ MotF
2 Khans W/ Wolf,Spears, Shield
24 IG W/ FC
24 IG W/ FC, Blunders
20 Hobgoblins W/ Standard, Bows
Death Shrieker
Magmacannon
His List (As much as i can remember):
Lvl 4 W/ LoL, VHS, Silly cloak
BSB
40 Halberds W/ FC
10 Swordsmen
8 Knights
Cannon
Cannon
Cannon
Helstorm
We ended up playing a Pitched battle and he got first turn (With only 5 drops he got the +1 to go first)
Turn 1:
His movement sure his Knights moving towards my Warmachines and Halbards towards my IG. Magic was lacklustre this round so he never manged to get a spell off. Shooting his Cannons reaped a fearsome toll on my army, losing my Death Shrieker and 9 IG from the Blunders and a 4 IG from the other block.
My turn the Blunders moved into a 3 tier building, 1 Khan angled his way in front of the Knights while the other went warmachine hunting trying for a charge the next turn.
My magic went without a hitch, I first cast Ash Storm on his Halberds followed by you guess it Flames Of Azgorh. 23 dead Halberds later he wasn’t smiling which then ran which killed another 4 from the Ash Storm.
My shooting sucked as Magma Cannon killed 2 Knights and Hobgoblin bowmen killed a single Swordsmen.
Turn 2:
His Wizard/BSB/Halberds were running but rallied with a double 1, his Knights charged my Khan and his Swordsmen charged my Hobgoblins which stood and shot missing everything… can’t get good slaves these days it seems.
His magic was once again not up to par, but managed to get The Dwellers Below off, killing 6 more IG Blunders ouch :-/
His shooting started with his Helstorm rolling a 3 and hitting the IG, the low str and my high armour save stopped many deaths but i was starting to run low on troops. The 2 out of 3 cannons misfired, first being unable to shot for a turn and the other blowing up which the final one trying for the Magmacannon but missing.
Combat, my Hobgoblins chased of the swordsman which only lost dew to my standard dew to 1 wound each, and the Knights slapped my Khan.
My turn which turned out to be the last turn (Short game but seemed longer)
My Khan charged the Helstorm dew to a high charge roll, my IG charged his Halberds and my Hobgoblins moved into charging range of the final working cannon for next turn
My magic i cast Ash Storm on the Knights an that was it. Shooting saw the Magmacannon kill 3 Knights which then ran. Combat the IG saw the Halberds off and even catching them up killing his BSB and lvl 4 in the process.
And which that, it was all over. Good game and i was quite scared of the 3 Cannons but dew to a lot of luck both good on my part and bad on his i managed a nice win. Helped we were playing on a smaller board too.
Cheers
Chico
