First blood!

My first game and its a win!

My opponent, Ryan (Orcs and Goblins) was a relative noob but considering I haven't played the fantasy game in over 15 years I'm hardly a vet.

Fotos below but a few notes in summary.

I thought I'd miscast a a lot more
Regenerate is awesome
Skullcrushers are tough as nails
Giants aren't that hard to kill

Skull crushers are so good their performance in the game actually stopped me buying more. 3 are good, 4 better but 6 would be overkill.

Festus was really good as regen on my marauders really helped them stay in the game.

My marauders were my MVP unit as they saw of a giant, a flank change from spider riders and a unit of night goblins.

It did help that my enemy's big unit of Big Un's (with the shaman hiding in it) failed their animosity for two turns in a row.

here's a few pictures I took in game...

The Giant charges...

...and he runs away!

The Skullcrushers eye up the Orc Warboss and his Boar boys

After seeing off the Giant and repelling the Spider riders(you can see them running away centre right) the Marauders flank charge the night goblins. 2 guesses how that went...

Funny moments of the game on his side was 2 fanatics charging out of the night Goblins getting into great positions to do a lot of damage to both my Warriors and the Marauders only to spin in to each other and kill each other. 

On my side the Giant charges my Warriors, my Lord strides out, puff outs his chest and completely fluffs his attacks not even wounding once.

unfunny moments. Ryan not getting a Magic phase due to animosity frustrating for him.  When he does however casts Foot of Gork with irresistible Force and not scattering on to my warriors killing seven of them.  His shamen did however Detonate killing 5 Big Un's and himself :0)

Great introductory game will be playing him again tomorrow only I'll have a quite different list.
