BIG September - Game 2
I got the By-Buster round, so I got to sit out and watch some games. My Score would be the Average of the Round. My Score ended up being 14-6, so that put me on to 14 points. Waahhh I needed more points if I want to do well.
One thing I caught onto, while looking around, was my list was really unbalanced and could have been a lot better. But I wasn't going to let that take me down...
After watching a great game against High Elves and Dark Elves the round was called out! And I was playing...

BIG September - Game 1
Dan Smart - O&G
List
Orc Lvl 4 with 4+ Ward, and other stuff
Night Goblin Level 2 with stuff
Black Orc with Stuff
30 Orc Biguns with 2 Hand weapons and Full command
5 Wolf Riders with Spear, Short bow, light armour, shields, banner and muso
2 Wolf Chariots
2 Spear Chucka
1 Rock lobba
2 Doom Drivers
2 Manglers
Holy crap balls. I was in for a rough one (first game in like 6 months too). I needed first turn to do well I had the plus 1 too as I had less units.
Dan rolled a 4! Yes, I threw my dice... and got a 2...
Dan got first... Damn...
Dan's Turn 1
Wolf chariot charged horsemen unit, fled from this
Stuff moved a little
Magic did nothing, was either dispelled or failed to wound
Daemon prince went down too the combined fire of both doom divers, the lobba and one of the chukkas
3 horsemen killed by a flank shot from the other chukka
My Turn 1
No Charges
Rallied Horsemen and landed them on top of Mangler
Other 2 horsemen landed on the other. All dead, but no more manglers!!!
Did a swift reform on the warriors to move them up 5 inchs. But failed the Ld8 test with a re-roll. Dang...
Chariot moved up 6 inches
Dan's Turn 2
His boyz unit shuffled up a bit
Wolf boyz moved up some more around the flank
Magic killed 11 Warriors (foot twice) and chariot took 2 wounds to same spell
Shooting Finished the wounded chariot and did 2 wounds to the other
My turn 2
Moved up unit 10 inches... i wanted to roll some dice
Moved chariot up with them
Done
Dan's turn 3
He charged my Warriors
Shooting killed the last chariot and 2 warriors due to lobba scattering the wrong way
Chariots did 9 wounds removing the last of the warriors
Rolled my attacks for the BSB but only killed the champ in a challenge with 1 overkill.
It was double ones to stay. first was 4 and then 12. Good bye bsb
My Turn 3... Oh... Good game :).....
So the result was a 20-0 loss for me. I couldn't really do much to Dan's army and we both agreed that his shooting was massively reliable this game (he didn't miss once).
Oh well I should get an easy game next game!

BIG September 2013
Hi Again,
I am going to a Tournament on the 7th of
September, that is being run by the Brisbane Independent Gamers (BIG) club. The
Tournament is being run by a good friend of mine, Johnathan Petersen, who has
been running a large amount of tournaments over the last 3 years. All his
tournaments are always well run with a lot of good ideas. This tournament is a
1500 point Warhammer Fantasy Battles 8th Edition event that allows 1 special
character (I learn't this way too late - that will teach me to read the rules
pack in more detail) and currently has 32 players attending. This is the
following list that I am taking.
1500 Pts - Warriors of Chaos Roster
1 Daemon Prince of Nurgle, 375 pts (Daemonic Attacks; General;
Mark of Nurgle (Daemon); Chaos Armour; Causes Terror; Daemonic Flight; Immune
to Psychology; Unbreakable)
1 Sword of Striking
1 Charmed Shield
1 Flaming Breath
1 Scaled Skin (Scaly Skin)
1 Exalted Hero of Nurgle (Battle Standard Bearer), 208 pts (Mark
of Nurgle; Hand Weapon; Chaos Armour; Shield; Battle Standard Bearer)
1 Sword of Might
1 Dragonhelm
1 Potion of Toughness
1 Burning Body (Flaming Attacks)
21 Chaos Warriors of Nurgle, 455 pts (Always Strikes Last;
Musician Mus; Standard Bearer Std; Mark of Nurgle; Hand Weapon; Great Weapon;
Chaos Armour; Shield)
1 Banner of Swiftness
5 Marauder Horsemen, 90 pts (Musician Mus; Hand Weapon; Javelin;
Shield; Fast Cavalry)
5 Warhorse
5 Marauder Horsemen, 90 pts (Musician Mus; Hand Weapon; Javelin;
Shield; Fast Cavalry)
5 Warhorse
1 Gorebeast Chariot of Nurgle, 140 pts (Mark of Nurgle; Causes
Fear; Chariot; Scythed Wheels)
2 Chaos Charioteer (Hand Weapon; Halberd)
1 Gorebeast
1 Gorebeast Chariot of Nurgle, 140 pts (Mark of Nurgle; Causes
Fear; Chariot; Scythed Wheels)
2 Chaos Charioteer (Hand Weapon; Halberd)
1 Gorebeast
My first thoughts were to take a fast hard hitting list, but I
couldn't get one working that I liked or couldn't fit in what I wanted to bring
with this list. This list, while not fast, hits like a ton of bricks, and has
the tools to deal with most issues.
The Daemon Prince, while also the General, is also the only fast
heavy hitter in the list, and it will be hard to not just throw him out into
the open. There is the fear that I will play Empire (there are 3 of them coming
to the event) and just get cannoned off and then wiped out by his Demi Gryphs
(who wouldn't take these). The real test of skill will be keeping this guy
alive. I know that If I get this guy into combat, and keep the Warriors and BSB
alive, I should win. We will see. My Magic item load out is pretty much what
all the net list are running, which I don't like taking, but its the only worth
while load out. He has +1 to hit, make him 2+ most of the time. He has 1+
armour save, -1 to hit (Due to Mark of Nurgle) and a +5 Ward save (due to
being a Daemon) so he shouldn't die in combat (fingers crossed). The breath
weapon is in there for when I need to break a unit whether he charges in on his
own or with another unit or finish it off completely. I won't be using it as a
shooting attack as it would be a waste in my opinion.
The BSB and Warriors will be rocking it out togeather, I gave him
a magic weapon just incase he came up against some ethereal units, but I also
stupidly gave him Burning Body, which gives him flaming attacks, but I forgot
until just before that because he has a magic weapon, this will have no
affect... Idiot!!! The warriors have great weapons as S6 is better and cheaper
than S5 although I do have to strike last. But I should be fine, Being Nurgle
again will give the enemy -1 to hit and with there high WS this should minimise
most damage incoming. Banner of Swiftness allows the unit to move into combat
faster (which is what I need).
The Horsemen are there to kill off any warmachines or against
Orc and Goblins those horrible Mangler Squigs. Those things are awful. They can
wipe out the warriors in 2 to 3 hits. Don't want them getting to me and the
horsemen are a good trade off.
The Gorebeast Chariots are just brutal, 7 S5 attacks plus D6+1 S5
impact hits with Killing Blow, is just brilliant. And they can take a beating
with T6, -1 to hit and 3+ armour save. The only thing is that they are slow.
They will probably work in a pair on one flank.
Main Plan (that will just dissolve as soon as my opponent and I
start the game) will be to have the warriors on in the centre, both chariots on
one flank, the Daemon Prince on the other and the horsemen around the back
(unless there is a threat I need eliminated early/quickly).
Well that is all for now. Will post up some pictures tonight
hopefully. Until then, Cheerio!
Welcome to my blog
Hi Fellow Hobbyists,
Welcome to my hobby blog. My name is Tim and I will be the little voice in your head that you hear as you read this blog...
Seriously though, really I am a war-gamer in his mid 20s, works in IT, has a small young family and requires an excuse to do some hobby. This blog is the excuse. Since my Fiancee and I began that wonderful and amazing journey that many of us take called parent hood, the hobby has taken a bit of a back burner for the time being. Until now...
I hope to make updates to this blog at least once a week but will hope to do twice but this will depend on time. I am currently working on expanding my Chaos of Warriors Army. I purchased a Hellcannon (first finecast, or failcast... not sure yet) 2x new chariots that I intend to make into Gorebeast Chariots and 10 Hellseekers of Slaanesh (should assist in speeding my army up!).
So the objectives of this blog are too:
- Show off my awesome (in my own opinion) paint jobs
- Do up tournament reports
- Express any gaming thoughts
- Explain lists I may have written
- Write up tactics (when I start to improve)
Well, that will do for now. I hope any readers will enjoy my rantings and ramblings and pics! I am going to a tournament in 2 days so there will hopefully be a bit of a write up and lots of Pics.
Enjoy,
Tim
