Hello all! So I played a tournament the 22[sup]nd[/sup]. It was atournament with some weird rules.

-All 7 edition armybooks could include special characters, 6[sup]th[/sup]editions armybooks couldn't.

-Double rare and triple special were allowed.

0-399 difference=draw(10-10)

    400-1299 difference= victory(13-7)

    1300-2199=  crushing victory (17-3)

    2200+= massacre (20-0)

I took some pictures of the battles, but I haven't got a clue how to get them into my gallery. I can't make a new gallery for some reason... oh well, now you guys have to work without pictures 😛

This is only the first battle, as I'm too lazy/tired to do all three of them together.

First round I was up against some greenskin! I was quite happy with that because I knew the special characters of orcs all have a weakness. Also, thisguy was arounhd the same age as me, and normally I should be able to beat guysof my age!

The first round, the 'scenario' was tablequarter deployment.

He won the roll for choosing the tablequarter, and he chose the quarter with a hill in his deployment zone. I don't think he realised I also had a hill, and I would benefit more of a hill than he would.

This was sort of his army:
Grimgor Ironhide
Black orc Big boss
Black orc big boss with BSB
Night goblin big boss
About 30 night goblins with 2 fanatics and netters
15 orcs boyz with FC and shields
23 orc boy big 'uns with shields, FC and banner of butchery
19 Black Orcs
8 squiq hoppers
6 squig hoppers
1 giant
1 doom diver

We decided you could see over everything except the woods, and the small ruinous features (so we could see over the big ruin).

He deployed his doom diver on the hill.
From left to right he deployed: Big Uns with black orc big boss, nightgoblins with goblin big boss, the black orcs with grimgor and BSB, squighoppers (hard to spot), giant, squig hoppers, orc boyz.

I deployed my main line between impassable and a table edge. Hammererson the left flank, the longbeards in the middle, and the IB on the right flank.The GT and the BT both went upon the hill. The OG stood on the other side of theimpassable piece of terrain. The quarrelers deployed in a long line. It looked somethinglike this from left to right: Hammerers, Longbeards, Ironbreakers, impassable,Organ gun.
The Gyrocpoter went behind the main battleline, ready to take off in my first turn.

O&G turn 1:
He got the first turn, and marched forward. He moved the squig hoppersin line of sight of my organ gun, which I was glad with, and the giant in lineof sight of the BT and the GT.
His doom diver squashed a few IB.

Dwarves turn 1:
I move my units a bit, not moving towards him but actually, just wheeling in a good position. My warriors marched forward, hoping to catch somefanatics, and flee from charges. The gyro moved towards a wood, out line ofsight of the doom diver, and in fly range to march block Grimgor and his buddy's.

I shot my GT at the Giant but it scattered away 8" even with the reroll. The BT however shot 3 wounds of the giant, and the quarrelers got another 2wounds. That meant 1 wound left! The OG shot the 8 squig hoppers rolling a 2! Butluckily the reroll was there to save the day! I rolled 10 on the reroll, andthe unit squig hoppers was wiped from the board.

O&G turn 2:
My opponent charged his giant into my warriors, and my reaction was: "Oh dear, a giant!! RUN!!!". They got away, so the giant got failed charge. Therest of his army moved up, but the unit big uns was too large to still fit inthe battle line, which meant they stayed behind a bit.
The doom diver got another few IB.

Dwarf turn 2:
I didn't have any charges. The warriors rallied and I moved backwards (not wanting to get in closecombat with Grimgor!), and my gyrocopter moved behind the big 'un unit. The fanaticswere released, but he didn't want them to go through his own unit, so those 2little beggars moved backwards.
The GT shot at the night goblins, assuming the giant was going to bekilled by the BT. The GT made a perfect guess. I rolled a hit, and killed 10night goblins. The BT shot the giant, and it fell over, not squashing anybody. TheOG shot down quite a few black orcs. The quarrelers shot the 15 orc boyzkilling 2. Sadly, he made his panic test for the night goblins.

O&G turn 3:
The 6 squig hoppers ran into my hammerers. He moved forward getting incharge range. He shot down 1 IB which was another rank.
Combat saw me losing 6 hammerers (with hand weapon shield!)! My lord gotangry and killed 4, my champ and shieldbearers killed another 2. I had 3 ranksoutnumber and banner, so I won by 5. He had to roll 4 or lower with a reroll.(due to grimgor's Ld and the BSB being close.) He made his breaktest! Iactually wanted to pursue so I could get a charge in his orc big un block. Ohwell, these things happen.

Dwarf turn 3:
I charged my gyrocopter in the rear of the black orcs. I knew I wasgoing to lose combat drasticly (no rear bonus, he had ranks, banner, BSB), butthat was what I wanted. It was sort of a gamble, because he hit me on 4's withhatred(!!!) and wounded me on 3's. Normally he would do 2 wounds. Hopefully hewould roll average!
I shot down a couple of Big Uns with the GT and the BT shot down a fewnight goblins.
The OG shot the orc boyz, together with the quarrelers. In total I did 7wounds on the orc boyz this turn.
I killed the remaining squig, in combat with my lord. My gyrocopter did nothingto the Black orcs, the black orcs did 2 wounds back. I lost combat, I failed mybreaktest but he had to pursue due to hatred. Grimgor was out of the game 'tillturn 6.[sub] [/sub]Evil laugh

O&G turn 4:
The stupidest thing he could do now was calling Waaagh! but he did. Grimgorwent 3" towards my Gyro. The rest of his army didn't really benefit from theWaaagh!
I deciced to Mro Challenge the 16 remaining night goblins, with thegoblin big boss in it. He charged my hammerers getting in the way of his Big Ununit. The unit of grimgor, turned around again facing my battleline. He alsocharged the OG with the orc boyz.
He misfired with his doom diver, but nothing happened.
I went for hand weapon shield in the combat. He challenged with his Bigboss, and I accepted with my champion. He rolled more than a 1 for the nets, soI had -1S. My heroic gate keeper showed the bg boss what dwarves are made of,and wounded the big boss not being wounded in return.
He killed a hammerer, and I killed 2-3 Night goblins, but he made thebreaktest. The orc boyz killed 1 crew member, and I did nothing in return. Thecrew stood their ground, not wanting to let such a precious war machine fallinto the hands of some greenskin!

Dwarf turn 4:
My Gyrocopter rallied. I didn't charge the nightgoblins in the flankwith the longbeards because then my flank was exposed to his big uns. My IBmoved backwards. The gyro flew towards the rear of the Black orcs to marchblock.
I shot down about 5 Black Orcs.
I won combat against the night goblins by 7 or 8 though he did kill thegate keeper in the challenge with the one hit wunda. He had to roll double 1 anyway, so I didn't care. But his breaktests were doing great and it wasn't going to change. He rolled snake eyes! Oh well, I could keep chopping off headsoff the goblins! No kills on either side in the combat involving the OG. I held on stubborn.

O&G turn 5:
He charged the big uns into my hammerers, because now the goblins werealmost wiped and there was room to charge. He moved forward with Grimgor andhis unit.
The doom diver misfired again but could shoot next turn.
He didn't kill any crew, and I held on stubborn.
The hammerers with lord weren't able to kill than 2 goblins. I killed the goblin big boss, and a normal night goblin.

Dwarf turn 5:
I moved up my Ironbreakers. Grimgor was going to charge anyway. I didwheel my IB in a way he would pursue in impassable terrain. The Longbeards turned,and faced the flank of the IB. He would break my IB, but then I could charg inhis flank, and gain the points back, that I had sacrificed with the IB.
I shot the GT and the BT at the Black orcs, killing off another 3 orcs. Atthis point there were only 6 Black orcs, Grimgor and the BSB left. The quarrelersstayed where they were, just claiming a tablequarter.
The hammerers didn't do too well, only killing 1 night goblin. The lordkilled the goblin big boss. I lost combat but the hammerers proved to be real bodyguards.

O&G turn 6:
He charged the IB with the Black orc unit in the 14 IB. No other charges,and he forgot his doom diver.
I lost combat with the IB, and didn't make the breaktest. He pursued,and obviously caught me, as I ran into impassable. He pursued into impassable,so grimgors flank (grimgor himself being in the middle file of the black orcunit) flank was exposed to the longbeards.
My lord won combat, by one but the goblins, and the big uns held.
The organ gun crew and the orc boyz were still in combat not being ableto actually wound the other guy.

Dwarf turn 6:
I charged my longbeards with BSB in the flank of Grimgor's unit.
My hammerers lost combat by 1 but held.
The BSB allocated all of his attacks at his BSB because he had S8against models with T5 or more My BSB blew his BSB to smithereens. Thelongbeards killed 2 other black orcs. He had to roll double 1. He failed but hedid want to know what would have happened if he still had his BSB. He rolledsnake eyes! But luckily I killed him so I got the points for Grimgor, general,BSB, 2 banners, and the Black orcs in the last turn. That was something about 1000 pts.

VP Dwarves: 1883 Orcs: 477 Difference was: 1406. I just got a crushing victory!

Hope you guys enjoyed it! There's still more to come!
There might be some spelling mistakes, report mistakes, or some else mistakes in there, sorry about that.
