Had my first second game against 8th edition Ogre Kingdoms during the weekend. Playing against Beardy Ones's "Ogres rush" Ogre kingdoms.

We decided to call it here as I only have a unit of archers left and Hierophant dead.

Victory to Ogres! 


I BLAME THE DICE!!! they shall BURN!!! failing charge on double ones and swift stride?!?! wtfbbq? Wind of magic averaging 5 per TK turn, "Banner of sorcery" 1-2 PD all turns except once creating 3 PD and channeling 0 PD through out the game... Fail to cast Light of death (bound lvl 5) on 2 dice?!?!

I think my strategy was good, tar-pitting the Ogre horde with skeleton warriors and N.sphinx to assassinate  mage/bsb/gen. The SW and N.sphinx will be supported by flanking ushabtis. Ushabtis will kill the dog and overran to fight another free CC round.
Tomb guards + necro knights will get stuck in combat for at least a round due to steadfast gnoblars but will likely win combat on OK turn, allowing them to reform and charge the ogre horde on my turn.
Epic fluff rolling lost me the game... mostly. I did made some bad mistakes by moving the chariots forward too much  and feeding them to mournfang and not deploying to counter the scout man eaters which wreck havoc in my back lines. Destroying all my support units.

Time to rewrite the list. Tomb guards, Ushabtis (too bad I love the models) are going out.

Game end

Victory to the HE! (pansies) 

With only a casket left on turn 5, there is no way I could win this. Conceded the game on TK turn 5. Looking back I realized my battle lines were in a complete mess when I was doing the batrep, no wonder I got massacred badly. Forgetting my own rules and lousy dice rolls (0 IF!!!) don't help either. Units leaving/separating from the buff zone of hierophant, units doing their own solo charge or moving around aimlessly/wrongly out of charge arc of enemy.

TK vs HE pictures

Pictures taken from a game with long time gaming buddy Enrgie over at a newly open LGS - Battle Bunker.

Had not played against Enrgie for quite awhile. Spent almost the whole day playing and talking/discussing about Warhammer fantasy, who can guess there are so much to talk about Warhammer Fantasy lol. 

Pictures are not in order due to uploading sequence. 

Mission: Pitched Battle (rolled)

HE went 1st

Casket left on HE turn 5...

White lions after finishing off the chariots and N.sphinx

TK chariot + N.sphinx combine charge! too bad 6D6 + lvl 4 = 26 boosted desiccation on white lions was dispelled by the HE with just 4D6 rolling IF dispel... 

Hungry white lions eyeing the TK chariots

Tomb guard getting flank by Swordmasters = very very bad

Bad move resulting Ushabti getting flanked...

Hungry white lions

Swordmasters > Necropolis knights

Bad play number 1* (3 necropolis knights != 3 death company spezze mehrines)

After Pansies turn 1

50 wet lions down to 42...

1st turn IF dwellers on BRAVE skeleton warriors! (37 died)

sexy arms?

Game start! (nice watch)

Pansies deployment

Crumbling lalala

Bad play number 3* (forgetting Tomb king has "My Will be Done")

Necro Knights down

BRAVE skeletons Anvil vs Wet lions Death Star

Bad play number 2* (notice the ushabtis and Tomb guard were moved too far up... resulting in the counter-charge units unable to flank the white lions)

Turn 3 or 4

Epic fluff by Tomb King... rolling 1,1,1,2,2 for to hit... missing all...

TK had 0 models left on turn 6.

Victory to the High Elves! (pansies)
