Tournament battle 3

And the final battle! I played vs Dark Elves. There was a dragon and a hydra. I killed something, he killed something. I shot the dragon, he killed my Maneaters. At the end, we had a draw! Fun battle though :)
Overall, I had fun, but I've run into some problems with ogres. I'll write a bit more on it later.
Right now it's time to eat!

Tournament battle 2

And another loss down :p I played vs high elves, an army I've plenty of experience against. Too bad that didn't help much. I had a hugely succesful casting of Comet of Casandora that blew away a fair chunk of his army, but I had trouble finishing off units. Same issue I had last tournament. I tried tackling that by including more, and smaller, units, but I still need to work on that.
Ah well, at least I'm done with Battle of the Pass. Not my favourite scenario.
One left :)

Tournament battle 1

Ah yes, the first one is in the books. True to form, I suffered a loss :p Dawn Attack deployment divided up my army into 2 parts, with the half without my general fleeing off the table after a sabretusk got killed by a terradon attack.

Ah well, such is life. I had fun playing. On to the next one :)

Tournament day!

Hello all! After a bit of silence (just started a new job), I thought I'd throw out a quick post now. I'm on my way to a tournament that starts in about 45 minutes. (I say "on my way", but really it's held 100 yards from my home, so I'm still comfortably sat on the sofa).

It's a simple tournament for warhmmer fantasy. 2200 points comped, which over here means no named characters, no duplicate rare choice and no triplicate special choices. 2200 pts is just a shade under what we usually play (2400), but still lets us bring a reasonable sized army.

I'm taking my ogres for another outing and this is the list I'll bring:
Slaughtermaster, hellheart, fist
Butcher (heavens), lvl 2, scroll, fist
BSB, flame banner, heavy armour, fist

12 bulls, fist, full command
3*10 gnoblars, trappers

6 Maneaters (sniper/stubborn), 6* brace o pistols, 6* heavy armour, full command.
4 Maneaters (scout/poison), 2 hand weapons, standard, heavy armour
3 Leadbelchers
2*1 Sabretusk

Ironblaster.

I wanted to try out maneaters and gnoblars and this is what I came up with. I'll try and keep you updated on how I do!
