A friend that is teaching me Fantasy had Saturday available for one battle, and I was itching to try out my new models....so my list was

Runelord -AoD,MRoBalance, Spelleater Rune, MroGromril, RoResist
Josef Bugman
39 Longbeard Rangers...Josef Group
40 Rangers FC
10 Quarrellers w/ GW
5 Miners
5 Miners
Cannon w/ RoForging

I knew he was going to be bringing some hard things, but I also remembered from my first experience w/ TK that if you kill the General, the whole army has to take Ld checks for wounds.

His List....Not sure of Upgrades
Lvl 4 Wizard
Lvl 2 Wizard
Tome Prince
Casket of Souls
Necro sphinx
War sphinx
10 Skelly Riders on Horses
3 Snake Chariots
1 Block of Spearmen...think 40, had the lvl 2 wizard and tome prince in it.
1 Huge Block of Bowmen...about 50,lvl 4 wizard with them.
3 Large Deep Striking Snakes...not sure about them.

Deployment
He said he lost the game here since he knows I don't know all the rules and tricks, but as a veteran 40k player I am a quick learner and a very able tactician. He deploys his spearmen near the center off to the left. I deploy Quarrelers near my right corner near a break in the terrain. He deploys his bowmen near the center to the left of the spearmen knowing I have got my Quarrelers far away from his spearmen. Now we had a rules question in this since all warmachines have to be placed at the same time, I deployed my cannon but then asked if I had to put down my AoD at the same time. He said I did so I deployed my cannon to the right of the Quarrelers and the AoD Behind both of them. Then I told me I was done deploying and he looked at me shocked. He asked about the miners and the 2 40man blocks of Warriors and I told him that the miners are UnderGround Advance and that the Warrior Block were both Scouts. He didn't seem to scared but I did notice that the rest of his units went on the board edge parallel to my Quarrelers and Cannon (he used terrain to block LOS on cannon, except the warspinx that was flanking his bowmen w/ general in it. I scouted in Bugman and Longbeards 12" away from bowmen front, and other rangers deployed to the left of spearmen out of there front arc. We roll and I get first turn.

Dwarf Turn 1
My friend tell me that my rangers cannot make a charge due to having scout rule. I go over the rule with him, but then I tell him about AoD letting me make a charge in the shooting phase. He didn't look happy, but agreed it was a great tactic. I march Bugman's group to within 3 of the bowmen, and the rangers within 3 of the Spearmen. I ask about the Necrosphinx and find out it is a flyer....not good for me, but still going to take him a turn or two. I keep the quarrelers where they are, but move the cannon over 3" to get LoS on the rest of his army coming down the board edge. In shooting I didn't want to risk mishap on AoD first turn so I just used the single charge rune (good thing as I rolled a 3). The longbeards charge the bowmen and deny them a stand and shoot attack. Quarrelers drop 2 horsemen. In close combat I manage to wipeout all the bowmen...31 attacks + 5 bugman ended up doing 25 or so wounds and taking 2 in return...after adding up combat res, he is left with his general with 2 wounds left.

TK Turn 1
He charges his Warsphinx into Bugman's Longbeards, Moves the Necrosphinx 10" towards my quarrelers, reforms his spearmen to face the rangers next to him, and his horsemen and chariots move slowly foward (he was trying to decide if he needed them after the AoD, Cannon, Quarrelers or Help out with longbeards). Magic he tries to give his spearmen +5 Ward Save but I use spelleater rune, rolled a 3 on the eater part (darn), rest of magic is shut down as I have 7 dice to his 3. In combat I kill his general and put one wound on the Warsphinx but take 5 deaths in return. I make my leadership.

Dwarfs Turn 2
I charge into the Spearmen, One unit of miners comes on behind his chariots next to the casket. Quarreller kill another Horseman and then we talk about my cannon. I position cannon marker 10" away from Casket of Souls...but we never discussed terrain and a small hill is inbetween shot and Casket. Now another player said that it can still bounce thru the hill on the shot, my friend thinks that it should block the shot. I say I am trying to shot over the hill. I roll a 8 and the marker moves directly on top of casket and bounces thru it. Friend says that it is legal since the shot never touched the hill and the problem is resolved. I blow up the casket and the result kills 4 of my 5 miners...ouch, and 2 of the horseman. I then hit the necrosphinx with rune to slow him down. Close Combat sees bugman taking wound and about 8 longbeards die to breath weapon and 2 stomp attacks. I make a leadership. The spearmen lose by a bunch and are down to 6 spearmen, Wizard and Prince.

TK Turn 2
With General dead he loses a wound on the Necrosphinx, 2 more horsemen, and 2 spearmen. He tries to reform chariots to turn around and face remaining miner but fail leadership. Horsemen are getting close to Quarrelers. More Longbeards die and Bugman dies, I put another wound on Warsphinx and hold the line. Spearmen and 2 Characters die. Reform to help longbeards. Magic got shutdown but he did get off the +5 ward save with a IF cast on spearmen...but he rolled a 7 and it actually did more damage to me then to him, and they are wiped out with attacks.

Dwarfs Turn 3
I move rangers up to get closer to Longbeard fight with Sphinx. My other unit of miners comes on the board. Quarrelers fire at Sphinx to no effect, but cannon knocks him out. I try for an Ancient Rune, but fail. Close Combat sees a lot of longbeards died, but the sphinx goes down as well.

TK turn 3
He loses another horsemen to leadership...and his Large Snakes come on the board. Horsemen move up to charge range...Chariots move forward, they decided to try and out run the miners. His shooting kills 3 Quarrelers.

Dwarfs Turn 4
No AoD, so I declare a rear charge on the Chariots with Miners and Flank Charge with Longbeard...Longbeards fail, but the miners succeed with a 12 on charge distance...need 9. I move my Quarrelers to deny a charge on AoD from both the Snakes and the Horsemen. Combat sees 2 of the 3 chariots killed from combat res and wounds.

TK Turn 4
Snakes and Horsemen charge Quarrelers..snakes on the front and horsemen on the flank. Combat sees miners killing chariots, but the snakes and horsemen overrun the quarrelers..killed one snake, horsemen hold and face cannon, snakes chase into AoD, and Quarrelers run off the board.

Dwarfs Turn 5
Rangers are running but not going to make it. Cannon grapeshot kills the remaining horseman and he is left with one snake in combat with anvil that has all its wounds....my friend calls it here.

All in all it was very one sided with me making great saves when I needed them, and him failing his leadership after General died. We decide that next week he is going to face me with his Dark Elves...I have a feeling that I'm in for a spanking them, as I have one both my first 2 games of fantasy against him. The outcome was a Massive Victory for the Dwarfs losing Bugman and the Quarrelers, but killing his entire army in return. So...round of ale for everyone!!! :dwarf: :guinesssmilie:
