I played Alliance tournament last weekend

My army

Slagutermaster

Brusier BSB

8 Iron guts

8 Ogres

6 Leadbelchers

3 morfang

3 x 1 sabertusks

This is a team tournament

10 teams with  3 player each entered. 1800p fore each player.
Slightly smaller than normal.

Little nervous I was as I have one of Norway's best Warhammer players on teams. But he opens by saying that he is playing Wood Elf for this is a tournament we will play only for fun    -puhhh.
Team Unknown consist of: a Wood Elf, Orc and  Goblins, and myself playing  Ogres. None  of us knew no other  before.

 

It was played with open list.  Sorry I do not have any copy of my opponets lists

 

Game 1

Vs Skaven

Grey seer

A priest with a furnace

Two catapults a warplightning cannon.

Slaves slaves slaves+ gutter runners. Some more but I do not remember the list,
This is a pretty soft player. I have never faced him before.
I started the game very badly. When I deployed terrible wrong.

Skaven deployed almost everything In a corner.

I Managed to fix up the situation a while. I shot some rats

Ironguts get in to the Furnace almost destroyed it.

Gutter runner kills the morfang with shooting attacks.

But in the fourth round miscast magic for the third time and my slaughter master was gone. Then I tangled myself up in a duel. I lost my BSB due to that. I killed rat horde after rat horde but they are not worth anything. : o) I lost with 4-16.
But my team won in  total.

Game 2
Vs  WoC
This player I have met two times before, once 0-20 loss and I won with 20-0 second game. This gona be interesting. He has a large unit of nurgel warriors, a flying nurgel deamon prince, with Death magic,BSB on disk and two chimeras + two units of dogs.

WoC go first

Offeseive.

 I lost some Ogres due to magic. Nothing more
I  shot down a chimera  by Leadbelcher directly. Morfang strikes his BSB and the other chimera  with help of magic from slaughterrmaster.

His deamon prince is not much to do with. I lost my ogres and my leadbelcher to that model.
With some luck with placing my saber tusks I drag him out of position. This helps a lot. I get a flank charge on his warriors with my iron guts.

A few round s with combat and his warriors lost their nerves I hunt them down.

 I finally wins with 13-7 My team also wins overall.

Game 3

Vs Dark elf

Now we are high on the list and will now meet on the paper the strongest team. This team is in for total victory.
They have a Lizardmen Army who we know will beat all our armies. We think, however, that the Orcs and goblins can get with a few points
My lot fell on the Dark Elf. This is against a very good player. With a lot of small units crossbows,assassins and  shades.  A spearmen unit and harpies.  Also death magic.
Dark Elf  begins.

In the first round I lost  50% of my Iron gusts due to purple sun bad bad bad. But He could not cause a single wound by his crossbows.

 I had been careful with my deployment.
I marched everything forward. Losing many ogres. I cast  Troll guts spell(Re gene)l in each round. This is great. Saves me a lot.

The purple sun is thrown again and again I dispelled one time and he fail twice luck for me. I finally arrived in his main line. I grind slowly down the Dark Elf. I lose some combats, but now I roll LD snake eye as never before. : o) But in round five it looks bad. Only few ogres left and surrounded by Dark Elf. Then my dice was with me. I take down his general and stomped apart a unit of spearmen. Also a wizard went down. Victory to me with 13-7: o) Victory is sweet and sweeter it becomes when he says that he designed for the army to take out ogres.

 The others on the team my lost bad.  We lose, however overall.

I only saved the honor.

Day 2
Game 4

Vs High elf

Magic lv2 + lv 1 + lv1 all with lore of light.

27 Whitelions+ approx 20 spaerman.

3 eagles, 2 units of archers
My lot fell on HE for me. I did not want to face this army, It is team play, So my team mates believe that they could beat their opponents. Team games are exciting.

This is also a soft player.

He has a lot of magic. He deployed everything in a corner and throw spells and shooting at me. I am coming quickly into line. But this little elfs are great warriors too. I take out the archer and the white lions below 50% I have no chance to get in to his bunker spearmen.

We only  played five turns before time runs out. Ends 10-10 I'm happy with that. I think actually I could have won if we played another round.

My team win, however, total

Now it's exciting we are in third place, but it is different about 10p from second to fifth place

 

Game 5
We meet the leading team.. They have  won this before and surely will do it again. Very strong players. Our captain means  he can beat Thires s WoC. Our s Orc and Goblin will face a horde skaven army.

I got Vampire Counts.

Vampite lv 4 + lv1 + v1 (both lv 1 got death magic)

2 Terrorgheist

6 Crypt Horrors

2 units of zombie 1 unit of  skeleton warriors+ bats

I get a down for a while because I have not met them since 7 ed.
The captain believe that will be fine. Play carefully and get the points. Is the order.

I face a pure tournament player, We have decent and exciting game it becomes real fun. Two howling Terrorgheist bring some troubles to me. But it turns out that it was it. The other zombies and skeletons turned into dust under the stomping ogres

I take out one Terrorgheist   with my BSB. The other one is down to 2 wounds. I lost my leadis to the Crypt Horrors.
Highlight is when one of my saber tusk eats a vampier: o)
21p sabertusk to about 105 p vampire.

It ends with a loss of 9-11 - It isOK. I realize that I could have won if I knew more about Vampire count and its models.

We played draw t against this team.
These players organize a tournament in Gjøvik this summer and I was asked to come there. I will be there.

Tournament winners Is team that we met in round three
Number  two is team that we met in round five.
Then is it a only 4 p from third 163p fifth place 159
We took fifth place.

We are satisfied with the place.
