Hello fellow dwarves players. I want to report you my game I had last Friday againts WoC. It was a revenge cauz the week before I have been beaten big time by my opponent and a grudge was taken.

Nothing went good the last time. I miss 90% of my dispel rolls (I had 7 dice and he had 8), I miss 4 out 5 leadership test. My GT,even with the Rof accuracy, did not hit a single time in 8 rolls (and I had really good guessing) and so on…

My list this time was pretty much the same as the last time cauz I think it is well made (if you have any suggestions let me know)

Runelord, Anvil of Doom, Rof stone, spellbreaker

Thane, BSB, Rof preservation, MRof gromril and Rof cleaving

Dragon slayer, MRof alaric the mad

20 warriors, FC

22 LB, FC, rune of courage

12 thunderers, SH

8 miners

12 slayers, 1 giant slayer

1 canon, engineer, Rof forging

1 GT, Rof burning, accuracy and penetration

1 gyrocopter

His list

1 chaos lors on steed (nurgle mark)

2 chaos sorcerer lvl 2 (nurgle mark)

25 marauders

2x 12 warriors of chaos (nurgle mark)

4 trolls (lors goes here)

2 giant of chaose

Deployment :

I chose to deploy in a refused flank formation. I had my thunders and GT on a hill in the western corner, my anvil behind them and my slayer in front. East of the slayers there was my warriors, my LB and next to my LB there was my cannon and Gyro. In the middle of the board (in the sense of the North/South axe) there was 2 small buildings that were more on the west. My intention was to force my opponent into a bottleneck by deploying wisely. I think this was a success.

He deploy, from East to West : warriors, warriors, giant, marauders, trolls, giant.

We were pretty much face to face but I had the advantage due to terrain.

*For information : no spell being cast at all on this game. He missed some and I dispelled the rest.

Turn 1-

I moved my slayer forward to meet the giant and my Gyro in position to march block the chaos warriors next turn.

My GT guess to shoot the western giant and my cannon guess to shoot the other giant (I had no LOS to the western one due to the buildings). A good guess and a hit on the scatter dice made a big rock fall directly on the head of the western giant and made him lose 4 wounds. My canon ball hit the other giant but failed to wound. Now time for the anvil to put more wounds on the western giant. Wrath and ruin did 4 hits, 2 of them wounded and the giant fell on the ground, dead!

His turn he moved everything straitgh foward.

Turn 2-

The slayers wheel so their flank was protected by a building. My Gyro move to march block the 2 units of chaos warriors. End of movement phase, now it was time for shooting.

I steamed western chaos warriors, kiling 3 of them. My GT engineer wanted some of the trolls to die so I shot at them. Aiming at them I guessed just right and hit 2 of them and being lucky and I also hit the chaos lord in the unit. I wounded the 3 of them. 4 wounds of the chaos lord and BANG! One less chaos lord on the battlefield. My opponent almost cried when he learned my GT had the rune of burning and he could not regenerate his lord nor his trolls. My cannon shot and kill 3 marauders, having nothing more interesting to shoot because the other giant was behind the other building. Anvil slow down the eastern chaos warriors.

On his turn he wanted to charge my slayers with his trolls but they failed their Ld test. Surprisingly they had passed their panic test after my shooting. He moved the rest straigth foward. His marauders where now behind the trolls. His giant was now treathening my warriors, ready to charge on his next turn.

Turn 3-

Now was the time for my slayers to see some combat. They charged the trolls who hold their ground. My Gyro moved on the side of the marauders. Nothing else moved. My LB didn't have a terror test because of their banner, warrior were at 7 inch so no test.

My thunders shot at the giant, failing to wound. This giant clearly have a rubber skin, a cannon ball hit him with no wound, 8 hit of thunderers and again no wound. Gyro steamed some marauders, killing 5 of them. My GT misfire but he will be able to shoot next turn. My cannon aimed at the giant. Overguessing and two big rolls on the artillery dice made my cannon hit my Gyro who was in direct line behind the giant. Doh! Big mistake!!!! Fortunatly, I failed to wound. Ouf! Anvil misfire but will be OK next turn.

The slayer now in close combat cause 4 wounds, the trolls did 2. I won combat. I did not catch them.With their poor Ld the trolls will flee for the rest of the game. The slayers are now in front of the marauders, ready to see battle again.

On his turn he charged my warriors with his giant and my slayers with the marauders. I decided to flee with my warriors. I needed 6 to be OK, I rolled 5… the young beards are now dead, killed by the big feet of the giant. My slayers did poorly in combat but his marauder did not much better. Marauders won the combat so nothing else happens.

Turn 4-

My Gyro charged in the rear of the marauders. Cannon crew moved to avoid eastern chaos warrior to charge them. Nothing else moved.

My GT shot at the giant, hopping to do better then the cannon crew. Right guess, a hit on the head. The big rock did 6 wounds so the remaining giant just died. Wow!!! What a performance by my GT crew. Thunders shot as the western chaos warrior, kiling 2 of them (they were now only 7 of them). Anvil slow down the eastern chaos warriors

Slayers and marauders now. I killed 3 and killed 2, my Gyro killed 2. I won the combat by 3 so the marauders flee and were being run down by my Gyro.

On his turn he desesperatly charge my LB with the western chaos warriors, the eastern one could not due to the anvil. With a BSB a full rank and number I had no difficulty to beat them and run them down.

We decide to stop the battle at this point.

Big big win for my dwarves. Great revenge. I also forgot completly my miners but it didn't matter annyway.

Thanks for reading
