This evening's theme was Skirmish.
All six battles fought were this scenario since everyone involved were in the mood for mindless violence and no fancy stuff.
Kislevites vs. Possessed
An utterly fresh and new Kislevite warband (complete with a nice new bear from Reaper Miniatures) faces a huge and battle-hardened gang of demonolators.
The Kislevites make a voluntary rout as soon as the rules permit, cashing in a generous amount of Underdog XP.
Dwarves vs. Shadow Warriors
Beards vs. skirts...
The dwarves are sneaky as can be and edge closer to the elves using all cover they can find before finally getting into close combat with the elves.
Eventually the elves broke but the match was much closer fought than the dwarf-player cares to think about...
Shadow Warriors vs. Possessed
After some initial lurking around a massive melee erupts in the middle of the battlefield.
Surprisingly the two Brethren archers manage to hit and Stun the elven leader who's lethal skills with the bow is kept out of the fray for 2 turns.
Alas, in the end the chaos cult breaks.
The chaos warband leader proved he was as worthless as ever and went down right away. This even after he'd managed to get his toughness back up to 2.
Yes, he had Toughness 1 before. The effect of 2 consecutive Chest Wounds...
Yet again this was an extremely close-fought battle that could have gone either way.
Dwarves vs. Possessed
The dwarven Thunderers are gaining in skill and this was proved right away when they bagged a Possessed at maximum range in the first round of the fight!
After that both warbands congregate slightly off-center on the battlefield for a massive and exceedingly brutal close combat orgy that made Khorne jump up and down and whoop like a cheer leader.
After losing 3 heroes the Dwarves decide to withdraw.
The dwarven Warband is really popular among Troll Slayers these days since they tend to die very much.
Only the arrival of the occasional The Lad's Got Talent-result keeps the dwarves supplied with any reasonable amount of Heroes...
Kislevites vs. Shadow Warriors
Once again the Kislevites "play the rules" and after taking the required losses withdraw in order to cash in on their underdog XP from fighting the vastly more powerful Shadow Warriors.
A rather bland fight.
Kislevites vs. Dwarves
By now the dwarves have come to rely on their quite skilled Thunderers, forcing the Kislevites to play the same sneaking game that the beardies use against the elves.
After quite a long while, however, melee is joined and the Kislevite bear manage to wreak moderate havoc despite being wounded by the nasty crossbows.
In the end, however, the more experienced dwarves make the Kislevites withdraw.
Thus ended this evening.
Note:
The dwarf leader managed to sustain epic amounts of injuries causing him to miss the next five (5) fights!
