Three games

Saturday came and went in a flurry of axe wielding cows and northern men from the Empire falling out of windows :-) We played 3 games of Mordheim and I’ve really enjoyed the Beastmen, however singularly you need to be when playing them!

Game 1 was fast, and my opponent heavily armed...4 archers & 3 riflemen. On top of that there are 2 combat heros and a couple of spearmen...we deployed in the ruins, Ross Howard (@rossymagic): https://twitter.com/rossymagic?s=09 took the high ground and proceeded to take pot shots at me while the ground units marched towards me across the table…nothing was stopping my Gors, I stormed through the centre of the table, shrugging off any hits from bow and gunfire and my CentiGor charged the Wizard and took him down...following the charge the CentiGor made another charge and eliminated an archer. Ross’ general lept from the top of the tower he was perched on and charged my CentiGor while my Chief and BestiGor cleaned up the spearmen and combat heros. End of the turn, Ross’ Northlanders routed and fled the battlefield.

Between games Ross spent his winnings on re-recruiting the dead and I saved up for another hero!

Game 2 was very different! We played a mission in which we had to capture buildings. Ross deployed very well and focused his heros together and captured buildings with his foot troopers. My battle plan was much less focused. I shot my CentiGor to the right and followed him with my Sorcerer and 3 Gor, specifically to capture buildings. I then proceeded to roll impossibly badly the whole game!

My Chief and 2 Gor ran left, took cover from the ranged fire and failed initiative rolls for 3 turns. CentiGor charged and took out both Ross’ general and a foot trooper while my 2 Gor and Chief charged Ross’ heros and got destroyed over 2 rounds of combat.

Game ended on turn 8, Ross holding 3 buildings, I had 2! Post game was very similar for Ross as he re-recruited the dead while I purchased a new Gor hero! My Chief was wounded and must miss 3 games! Nooooooo!

Game 3 was a smash up game. We redeployed the terrain and this game was short and brutal. The humans were killed to a man and in cleanup Ross had a hero die. Again he spent his loot on replenishing his ranks while I bought another Hero, had a trooper promoted to a hero and now I’m only without my Chief for 2 more missions…

Really loved playing with the GorHerd and for AoS I’ve decided to paint up about 25 SCGT Comp which will have 10 BestiGor, 10 Gor, 3 BullGor(minotaurs) and a Beastlord.
