A lesson in not peeing off The Blood God

Second game today and I took 2 sorcerers. And in the early stages if the game did not proceed at full speed to bloodify everything and anything in my path.

To show his displeasure, Khorne made sure I never had an effective magic phase. Don't think I ever rolled more than 6 for the winds if magic. Khorne also made sure my juggernauts were ineffective.

I scraped the win due to my 40 marauders batting off anything that came near them. Giant, spider riders, fanatic.


A few pictures, because I know you like them...

Deployment, my right flank.

As you can see I deployed a refused flank and all but one unit if warhounds went on my right flank. Blurred pic but on this flank I'm facing 20 boys, Orc chariot, Giant and 6 Boarboys with Orc Big Boss.

Deployment, my left flank

a lone unit of 5 warhounds holds my left flank though a large wood covers the flank of my main force. The wathound only job was to draw out the fanatics from the night goblins who you an see on the hill in the enemies centre field.  a large unit of 10 spider riders face the warhounds but don't really make an impact on he game

Turn 3 charge of the light cavalry

Turn 3 I manage to get a charge off against Ryans boar boys. I manage to win combat and run down his Big Boss! This unit then goes on to help kill a chariot and overun into the flank of he orc boys preventing their charge against my foot marauders. So they get this games MVP award.

Nick, GW Uxbridge's manager looks for (unsucessfully for the first 13mins) the rules for magical vortex's 

battle for the centre

stupid magic vortex 

The big nasty vortex spell (large template) Ryan cast took 3 wounds off my Skullcrushers (yes, I failed 3 I5 tests!!!). combined with 2 'Eadbutts ruined my skullcrushers day. I had high hopes for charging these guys in with feckless abandon but this did not happen and Khorne punished me.
