The O&G player is relatively new so I let him make some mistakes to learn and we were defeated.
Take aways. Screams again…ughh. 2 shooting rounds and 2 screams per round took out mt main unit and engine.
But the take away here are the khan and wolf riders are crucial against any kind of heavy cav / chariots etc. Diverting and directing them around the battlefield. Unfortunately my Khan was take out by some flying vampires.
Shooting was OK, rocket launcher and blunderbus unit pretty much reduced a grave guard unit to non operational.
I will report in more detail on my next proper 2k battle.
Some thoughts, blundervus and enginer with shooting isn’t cutting it. Lots of dice but not a lot of damage.
Also needed a few more 2 hand weapon black orcs. Was concious half the box is 2 hamders, so converted a few. Went a vit far with one. Been experimented on with warpstone by a Chaos Dwarf at some point!! Anyway, its a back rank model so not too fussed.
A unit filler for my Hobgoblin and two more khornate chaos dwarfs (had enough spare parts to make two more). Also started converting the hobgoblin archers.
Apprexiate there are a lot of WIP. These models are how I finished the year. These are now complete and will be put away ready for the next battle. Hoping that now more and more will be completed quickly.
Edit: added some bad pictures of my first 9 black orcs. Need to do horns and tusks when I’m more comfortable. Having to relearn all my painting skills after so long.
Yes, this is the way. I also have one of those kits lying around in need of assembly. Perfect Hobgoblin Bolt Thrower. Not sure yet I’ll use the Orc or think of something else.
Wasn’t sure quite what to do. Cutting the orcs arm off both the bolt throwers was enough work. Decided I didn’t want to solve the 2nd crew member right now.
There is a third crew member on each one but as I’d already glued them on taking it all apart ruined them. He would be a better choice.
