His List:

• Warriors of Chaos x10 (Extra Hand Weapon & Shield, Mark of Slaanesh, Champion, Standard)

My List:

• Ogre Bulls x4 (Crusher)
• Gnoblar Fighters x20

As is the case with most of these games, we didn’t set up any terrain. We just deployed and ran forward for the most part. I sent my Ogres and Gnoblars at a bit of an angle to see which one he decided to go for. He opted to head for the Ogres, so I tried to get the Gnoblars set up for a flank charge. I know that Gnoblars won’t do well in close combat with the Warriors, but maybe it’ll help when the Ogres show up. due to Bickering one turn, they didn’t get to combo charge with the Bulls, so the Bulls just charged the front of the Warriors. They killed one or two with impact hits and a couple more in combat. He was able to do a couple of wounds to the Ogres. The Warriors stood their ground. The Warriors attacked the Bulls next turn and killed two of them, leaving me with 7 attacks back. I did very few wounds and lost combat. The Ogres ran 11 inches and the Warriors did not catch them. The Warriors tried to charge the Ogres, but just missed them. The Gnoblars charged the flank of the Warriors and won combat, sending the Warriors running. The Gnoblars were an inch from catching them. The Warriors were able to charge the Gnoblars, win combat and send them running and were caught. The Ogres finally rallied and were able to rear charge the Warriors and wipe them out.

A very fun game that seemed to go back and forth.

The second game was against Greg, who has been challenging me since the league began. He is playing the new Skaven, who I have played against once already and won, so I had no real worries.

His List:

• Skaven Clanrats x24 (full command(?), spears, Ratling gun)

My List:

• Ogre Bulls x4 (Crusher)
• Gnoblar Fighters x20

Well, in this game my overconfidence and thoughtlessness was my undoing. I moved the Gnoblars and Bulls much like before, but the Skaven weren’t taking the bait. He stood still so I’d have to move into range of his gun. I eventually marched the Ogres forward to try and minimize the turns he’d get to use the Ratling Gun against me. In one turn he fired the gun, rolled doubles, but did not hit anything. Second go around, he was able to put a wound on an Ogre. I eventually charged his 6-wide unit of rats, but he’d moved close enough to prevent the Bull Charge. Pretty much the Ogres took it in the face and lost combat, ran, and were caught. The Gnoblars ended up going against the left-behind Ratling Gun and killed it. Eventually, the Clanrats fought the Gnoblars and beat them down. A total loss for me.

A fun game, as always, but I know that charging the big unit of rats was a uber-bad decision. Oh well, it was still a game counted toward the league.

My record in the league so far: 4 wins, 2 losses.
