The Daemons of
Chaos enters grassy fields of Ulthuan. To the west a Daemon Prince, a unit of
Bloodletters. In centre two units of Daemonettes and a unit of Pink Horrors.
The eastern flank consists of a unit of Daemonettes on Seekers, a unit of
Bloodletters and a large unit of Bloodthirsters (on Juggernaut) with a Herald
of Khorne.
The High Elves
deploy one eagle on the fare side of each flank, followed by two units of
Dragon Princes, two units of Spearmen and in centre, a small unit of archers, and
a unit of Phoenix Guard and a large unit of White Lions. The Archmage joining
the Phoenix Guard and a Mage joining the Archers.
Both army’s
advances, the High Elves sending the Eagles forward to intercept. Magic has
little effect the first couple of rounds, and since there is almost no
shooting, the battle will be decided in hand to hand fighting.
On the east flank
the Bloodthirsters kills of the Eagle. To the west flank the Eagle Manages to
redirect a unit into centre in front of the Daemon battle line, slowing the
advance of both the Bloodletters and Pink Horrors. The Dragon Princes charge
them in the flank bugging the unit down.
The White Lions starts to grind down a large unit of Daemonettes, and a
unit of High Elf Spearmen take the onslaught from the Seekers. Slowly the High Elf units in centre
grind down their foe, but the real threat to the Elven battle line has not yet
reached battle.
To the fare left
the Daemon Prince move around a building deep into the Elf deployment zone backed
up by a unit of Bloodletters. Facing them a unit of High Elf Spearmen. In the Magic Face the High Elf mage gives
the unit a 5+ Ward Save, and the Archmage gives the same unit S 8. With Always
strikes first S 8 Elves fighting in 4 Ranks kills the Daemon Prince before he
could strike, and the unit regroups into centre to intercept the Pink Horrors.
To the east the
Bloodthirsters cut down a unit of Dragon princes, and reforms to face the Elf
flank. At the same time both the High Elf Spearmen to the east and the White
Lions cut down the Seekers and Daemonettes, turning to face them. Again the
Mage grants them 5+ Ward Save on the Spearmen, and the Archmage again give them
S 8. During close combat the High Elves kills all of the centre part of the
Chaos Daemon army. The fare west Bloodletters pursues the last Eagle and goes
of the board, not able to engage in battle during the rest of the game. To the
east the High Elf Noble issues a challenge that the Dark Lord welcomes. The Spearmen
and White Lions cut down the Bloodthirsters.
However, the Noble
gets cut down by the Herald, and the Dark Lord in return getting killed by combat resolution.
Ulthuan is safe
once again, and The Daemons of Chaos suffers a solid defeat.
Chaos Daemons will rise from the ashes after the defeat and will mobilize to another game.
ReplyDeleteVery nice game and the battle rapport with picture is a great summery of the game.
Looks like Daeamons had a hard time. Better luck next time.
ReplyDeleteAnyway seemed to be a nice and enjoyable game.
Good battle rapport and nice picture! Sounds like a fun game:)
ReplyDeleteA very fun game! Once Dag gets his priorityes "in order" this army will be very hard to deal with! Very fast and they dont break from battle easy! On the other hand, 30 X S 8 with 5+ Ward fighting in 4 ranks is almost to bad... If it had not been for the Lore of High Magic and Lore of Shadow (a powerfull combination) this game could have had a very different ending. Looking forward to see you all on the battle field soon :)
