Sheffield
Slaughter 1-2 february 2014
Little
nervous and worried about what I am going to face. We arrive early afternoon.
We had some
food and a walk to the venue. A lot of people very t there. Everything went
smooth and easy and I felt me very welcome.
During the evening I played a Dark elf army.
(Coldone
bus is a very heavy sledge hammer in case any wonder) Lost to it but it was very
great to have this first game on Friday night.

Burnig chariot. blue horror upgrade,
Scenario Battle
line
Feelings before
for this game. I feel that I have chances
for some point if I can keep calm and take it
easy. Priority is to take advantage of the distance of my spell vs his.
I started
to deploy I choose a corner He chose the opposite.
I move fast
with my chaff units. The big units I get in range for some spells.
Turn 1-4 he
kill some chaff. I killed the Pink Horrors with a razorgor. I try to lure his
plaguebearer out with some juicy target but he did not catch that bite. My
spell is dispelled or failed to do any serious damage.
In his turn
four hi fly’s out his burning chariot. Kill some harpies , Overrun in range of my big blocks of Gors. I reform to
make a charge in turn five he make some
warpflaming attacks and get some wounds, that force me to take at panic test with
-1 in Ld test makes it ld8 with re roll. Should be no problem. No no no failed both
roll. OK. It is a long distance to the table edge. O yeah rolled eleven and my Gor
unit with BSB is out. Bad bad bad.
In my last turn
I put all my efforts in to his chariot to destroy that. Nope failed to cast or
dispelled.
In his last
turn his chariot flaming my Bestigors, Same again ld 8 with reroll(Gleaming
pennant). No no n o NOT again, Failed both rolls. Rolled dobbel six to run of
the board. My opponent have never seen such bad dice roll………………..
Lost bad
0-20
We shake
hand and he handle in the result and came back with a beer for me.
Feelings
after the game. Alright. Bad dice roll happen. Done with that……..
The end
result maybe had been different If I had forced him to battle. You never know.
I have probably had to face purple suns and spirit leach also.
The main
mistake I think was that I did not see the threat from the burning chariot.
Also that I did not move the bestigors
unit in to the middle of the table in my last turn.
Warpflame. When I came home a looked at this rule, I can not find the rule l that I must take a panic test when hit with a warpflame. That I found is that I must take a T test and maybe suffer more wounds or get regen save. This was sadly wrong played. I do not think that this was his intention.
This cost me proably 10 point in total. Just speculation. Nothing more to do with it.
Or if you know the rule let me now where to find it.
This cost me proably 10 point in total. Just speculation. Nothing more to do with it.
Game 2 vs
Alex McGee and WoC
List
General on
disk lv 4 Metal, Bsb on foot, Throgg with 3 trolls. 25-30 Warriors. Slaughetbrute,
Manticore, 3
x Dragoon Ogre.
Scenario
Meeting engagement
Feelings before
this game- Warriors is always hard to fight. But when I see his list I think
that I have a good chance. Spell range and number in my advantage.
I deploy
fist and both my general and BSB is forced to start in reserve. His warrior
unit with BSB is forced in reserve. Turn 1 both
of us try to get I better positions. Not so much more.
Turn 2-4 I
move my Bestigors unit in to the face of his slaughterbrute. I get minsrazor on
them.
He charges
my Bestigos with his slaughterbrute.!!!!!! It went down easy. Mindrazor :o)
He is also
lining up Throgg and troll to charge the Bestigors.
I redirect
his warriors with razorgors and harpies, Long march for them to get in my
lines.
Bestigor
take out Throgg with trolls in 2-3 rounds of combat.
Manticore
and Dragoon ogers do not so much. Dragoon ogres charge some Ungors in a building. Believe it or not the
ungor win the combat and the Dragoon ogres flee. The manticore is forced to
flee too during this combat.
Turn 5-6 My
Bestigors charge his warriors. His champion declares a challenge. He wins and
Wow a daemon price is on the table. The Beastigos
wins and also take out the daemon price.
Gors had a
nice and calm day. Just sat down and watch Bestigors doing their job.
Victory
15-5 for me. If I had get one more victory point more and I had won 16-4
Of to the
bar and Grab a beer each.
Feelings
after this game. Spells help me a lot to win this game. Also he entered his
warrior on a
stange
poing. He could have them much earlier in combat with another entry point.
Also ungors
lucky win helped me.
Game 3 vs John Harrison
and Woc.
Scenario capture
the forest. ( a modified Watchtower scenario)
A Blood
forest is placed instead of a watchtower. See main rule book for more details.
1500p to
the player that controls the forest.

mout BSB.

Maruder horsemen) 2 x chaos chariots, 15 Marauders, 2x(3x
Skullcruscher)
Feelings
before this game: Warrior again. A harder list this time.I hope to
take the forest with my two big blocks. I will not face the daemon price with
my blocks.
Turn 1-4 He
starts. All a head with his skull crunchers. We are locked in combat for some turns
before I killed both units.
I feed the rest of his units with chaff, In
turn four he lands the daemon prince behind my lines.
Turn 5-6 The daemon prince
kills the small unit of Gors with both my level 2.
I entered
the wood with both my big blocks. The Gor unit is grinded down by deamon price
two chariots and his BSB. In the end I am alone in the forest. I win this game
with 14-6.
He had a
small marauders der unit that was trying to reach the forrest but it was too
late for him
Feelings
after the game. I stole this game. I
think my plan worked well. Maybe I thrown away to many chaff units with feeding
his other units but the goal was also to keep the big block away from the daemon prince as long
as possible. The extra 1500p the forest gave me the victory.
I bought a
Beer for my for my opponent and we had a great chat and a big laugh about this
game.
Day one is over. One lost two victories 29 p. Tired but happy after all. I get some food
and drinks. Walking around through the evening and talk to other player. A
lot of things going on Star war X wing, Different board games and an 8 player
mega battle warhammer. Hardcore they are those British player.
Day 2
Woke up Ahhhhh

venue I was ready for more gaming.

Feelings
for this game. Again I will try to pick

Turn 1 Moving slow up put some spells on his crypt Horrors
will not face them yet.
I get his scroll out. Aiming my Gors

He marches

or not
The one
thing that could go wrong did it. Dobbel one equal failed cast. Bahhh
The
skeleton won and ran down the Gors with the BSB

it going down to Cryp horrors. Ungor have
the best days of their life and shoot down the Varg ulf.
Lost 0-20
But I get a
beer
Feelings
after the game. I think it turned when I
failed to cast the mindrazor the second time
Stupid
stupid me why only cast 2 dice. (He had no dispel dice left he used them to
stop other spells)
Yes I only
need 3+ but a small risk of not get I there is.
3 dice next time.
Game 5 Vs
Conrad Cunningham and Wood elf
List
Spellwevare
General LV 4 light, Spellwevar Lv 1 Beast, 2 x noble on eagles.
Nobel on
rider BSB. 20 Glade
Guards FCG, 4 units x 10 Glade
Guars FCG
2 units of 8 dryads, 5 x
Wildriders, 5 x
Waywatchers 2 units of 1 Eagle
Scenario
Blood and glory
Feeling before
this game. I have a good chance to get
points. I have faced Wood Elf before. A l ot of shooting and nobles on eagles. To
break him I need to kill a lot of his units with standard. The problem is to
get to them I think.
Turn 1-4 I
move straight forward. He concentrate all his arrow and and magic(Dwellers
below) vs the Bestigors. I move to
get a charge but he redirect with eagles and dryads. The Gor unit take out some wild rider and
more dryads.
Turn 5-6
The Bestigors had take hard beating. Only three left but has charge and kill
some small units.
I win this 11-9. Good
A nice
player and we went to the bar and get at beer after the game.
This was a
OK game but a little boring. Just move forward and get shoot at.
He played
his army well. He keept his noble on eagle way out of range for me.
Feeling
after this game. I think I should have
deployed a little more forward, I could have reach his line in turn 4 instead
of 5. In the other way he had get a turn
more to shoot S 4 shoots at me. It could have take out the Bestigors. You never
now.
Game 6 vs Andrew
Lewis and Lizardmen
List
Slan Mage
lv 4 upgrade to have all signatures spells from 8 lore of the mainrulebook,
Skink
priest lv 1 Heaven, Bastiladon,
2 x Salamander. 3 x scar veterans. A lot of
small skink units and skink chameleon.
Scenario Battle
line
Felling before
this game, This is the first time I face
lizard with the new book.
A draw some
parallels with my last game. I will probably face a defensive player.
Pit of
shade on his slann will be my priority and the salamanders. Then the skink units
if I get the opportunity.
Turn 1-2 I
start I march up and aim for the slann unit. My chaff going at the flank and
lure his scar vet out from the line.
As usually
ythe Bestigors is the main target but this time I have no Characters in it.
Turn 3-4
His salamders is in charge rang but with some good moves from his side I can only
take out one of them. Two razergors is playing cat and mouse with some chameleons.
Scar vet is
hunting down my chaff units. I lose a lof
Bestigors due to skinks poising shoots.
I hit the
slann with pit of shades twice but scatter of both times.
Turn 5-6 I
will now try save my points I charge a small skink unit with my Bestigors. My
hope is to over run out of the table. I kill the skink unit but failed to over
run far enough.
Now this
unit is in a dangerous cross fire. In his last two turns he shoot down the last
models of this unit. In my last
turn I have a nice magic shoot with the amber spear against the Bastiladon, But
it could not kill it.
I lost 7-13
Feeling
after this game: Ok. I do not know if I ever had fair chance.
I still think
my plan was best to beat him. Another tactic could have been to play defensive
and let him come to be. Could possibly have been a draw? I think I will try
this next time
This opponent
was disappointed I think he had seen a 20 -0 victory when we started.
I packed my
things and went to the prize award. The Norwegians had done it well in total 3
on top 10, 3 best in
race, best sportsman, 2 nominations of best painted.
I ended up
with three wins and three looses 47p and 69/96 place. (Not the lowest score
from the Norwegians) Maybe not so good and far from my goal. I am happy. I have done it better than I did
as average in Norway 2013.
We had some
Indian food during the Sunday evening I went to bed early and the return journey
went smooth.
Feeling
after this tournament. I am glad that entered this event. Some hard and good players
to face, hopefully I have get some more experience that I can use in the next
tournament.
I think I
could have tooled my army a little more and maybe played more defensive. Two
big block make it easy for the opponent to pick targets. Maybe split the blocks
in two. I will also try to fit in a death magic. I will also have a look at the
chaff units and probably reduce them. I will also try to use them little smarter
than just throwing them away. Yes they shall die but maybe not it turn 1 and 2.
Magic weapons/missile
to face ethereal I really missed that vs the Vampire.
