discoking Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Since this is the place for all things AoS I thought I'd re-post all the battle reports I made a while back.Some of you may have already read these but for those that are relatively new to AoS these are all pre Generals Handbook and are played using the just the basic rules for setup or are made up narrative games. I'll post them in order they were played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discoking Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Vampire Counts vs Warriors of Chaos Played today against my mate,tried to remember and take pics but so much happens it's hard to do Everything is vanilla AoS,we don't play any restrictions or quota's or anything.We do measure everything from bases tho. Scenery I won roll off and chose the right hand side and began deploying which went like this: 20 grave guard 2-handers / khorne daemon prince krell / 29 tzeentch warriors 3 vargiests / battle standard 6 black knights / tzeentch daemon prince corpse cart / 6 khorne knights 6 black knights / khorne lord of juggernaut vampire lord / khorne lord on daemonic mount 5 bloodknights / tzeentch scorceror lord on steed vlad von carstien / nurgle daemon prince vamp on zombie dragon / 5 marauder horsemen 20 grave guard(I stop) / giant khorne chaos lord 5 khorne chosen 5 blightkings 15 nurgle chosen nurgle lord I'm deffo up against it and in hindsight shouldn't have deployed the last 20grave guard and stuck to a character or monster to keep the numerical advantage he was going to have as low as possible. I chose to go 1st in the hope I could raise some stuff to slow him down. I raised 6 black knights and 5 grave guard and fialed to raise 3 vargiests.Moved my dragon up my left flank as that was easy pickings(or so I thought) moved the grave guard units into woods for max armour save and moved the black knights on my right flank into the garden of some poor souls house My blood knights stayed put.Only chargers were my raised black knights which failed so turn over. My buddy moved his right flank up to meet me and charge later Moved his centre up and moved his blightkings and nurgle lord into some other poor souls back garden He charges my left flank.My dragon takes a wound then only does 4 back in total...pffft useless thing.he only kills one raised black knight with his 2 khorne dudes.I kill 2 marauders with the black knights behind my dragon. only his khorne daemon prince makes it into the graveguard and kills 9!He suffers 5 wounds from the remaining grave guard in return. I loose 3 more grave guard to battleshock and turn over. I lose roll off for next turn and brace myself for some pain. he casts various stuff in the hero phase which I can't remember :)He retreats his chaos knights to the saftey of the wood and retreats his marauders also.Moves up his khorne chosen and lord and also the giant. he ominously closes in on my centre ready to unleash the charge. He charges my grave guard with his khorne chosen and kills 3 and his lord charges my vampire lord and kills him but his giant fails..sweet. In the middle and his nurgle chosen charge the grave guard in combat with the daemon prince wiping them out but not before they took out the khorne daemon prince.Krell failed to hit The tzeentch daemon prince charged the corpse cart and killed it,vlad piled in and caused a single wound.(i'm slowing realising the dice are currnetly deserting me). Tough turn for me that but I'm still very much in this.Vlad uses his general ablity on krell and mystic shields him,he's on a +1 now which he'll need to survive the chosen.My vampire on dragon casts mystic shield on my grave guard locked in combat with the khorne chosen. I sweeo round the back of the watchtower with my blood knights and black knights ir preparation of a nice juicy charge. over on the left I position my dragon to charge the 2 khorne lords,my vargiests to charge the giant and the black knights to get rid of the marauders. before he charges,my dragon melts 2 knights with his breath which opens a nice gap for him to charge the knights and the 2 khorne heros.The dragon charges and kills the last knights but has to use all his attacks on them ######,the black knights charge the marauders and wipe them out.I changed my mind with the vargiests and charged the khorne chosen before they could wipe out the grave guard but truly horrendous dice again meant I lost 8 grave guard and 2 vargiests and managed to leave the chosen with 1 left In the centre my dice woes continue and my blood knights and black knights roll ****** and only my blood knights can make it with their min 6" but it's against the chaos knights and not the chosen! They have a shocker and kill 1 knight,super krell causes 1 measerly wound which atleast takes one out with his ability and takes 2 wounds in return from a ###### load of chosen attacks. Not a good turn for me. I win roll off and use vlads ability on krell again but my mate unbinds my mystic shield attempt on him.My dragon vamp raises 3 vargiests in centre.I have no movement bar inching some models a bit closer for chargers. My black knights again roll a ###### charge and their min 6" just manages to get one into the chosen On the left I charge my other black nights into the khorne dude on juggernaut and the newly raised vargiests into the giant.My dragon fails miserably again and I inflict 2 wounds on the khorne lord on daemonic mount,the black knights do a bit better getting 3 on the jugger lord and the vargiests have a mare and only get 6 wounds on the giant.My dragon takes a whopping 9 wounds from the 2 khorne dudes......hmmmmm.I finish off the last chosen and inflict a couple of wounds on the chaos lord. In the centre and krell causes 1 wound again,ability kills one.Vlad,locked in combat with the tzeentch daemon price rolls poor and does 1 wound.Blood knights do ok this round but loose 2 dudes,the black knights kill 2 chosen. My turn over and my mate tries to arcane bolt vlad but vlad survives 2 bolts.The blightkings and nurgle lord run from their postion to join the centre fight.His big tzeentch unit moves up rdy to charge and his nurgle daemon prince fly over to bolster his right flank.The chaos lord retreats from the grave guard fight. My phone battery died at this point and after going a charging my phone I only realised after the game I forgot to take anymore pics..sorry. In the combat phase my dragon again failed,causing only wound on the daemonic mount lord,my vargiests failed to kill the giant and the giant and nurgle dp killed them.Krell again only killed 1 chosen before falling to them while vlad held his own against the tzeentch daemon prince.My blood knights finally killed the chaos knights and my black knights killed a couple more nurgle chosen. Turn over, My mate wins roll and charges the giant and nurgle daemon prince into my grave guard,his tzeentch warriors charge vlad and my black knights while his nurgle lord and blightkings charge the remaining blood knights. The grave guard get wiped out but not before taking the giant down,my dragon falls and he couldn't even kill one of the 2 khorne dudes he was in with all game....so dissapointed as he should have eaten them for breakie.Vlad dies and reappears to attack and kill the chaos lord,I loose my black knights to blightkings,chosen and tzeetch warrior attacks but my blood knights stay strong taking more nurgle chosen down.Nothing happen in battleshock. My turn and all I got left is vlad,2 blood knights and 6 black knights.Vlad charges the tzeentch daemon prince and takes him out before falling to the horde of tzeentch warriors eager for revenge.The khorne lords take out the black knights and my blood knights finally fall to the blightkings. Wow it was an amazing game and had I not had the worst dice I've had in months I could have easily had that.The left flank should have been done and dusted by the end of turn 2 and sweeping into his centre to take out the wizards and heros that he had in droves.Nevermind,onto the next game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movement: Left flank moves into charge range with Hurricanum support.My right flank stays put in the woods. Shooting: Hurricanum kills the Scorceror Lord and 1 more Blightking,Steam Tank inflicts 1 wound on the DPN Charges: KF charges the Nurgle Lord,Demigryphs charge the Blightkings and the Steam Tank charges the DPN and gets within 3" of the Khorne Warriors to deny them a charge.

Empire turn 3: Hero phase:KF uses Leader of Men on Demigryphs,BG casts mystic shield on Demigryphs and Searing Doom on the DPN which leave it on 1 wound.Hurricanum casts mystic shield on KF,Steam fails to heal a wound Movement: KF and Demigryphs move to chargethe DPN and Khorne warriors,Hurricanum moves to support,Knights move to go help my left flank. BG moves to my left flank to support KF. Shooting:Hurricanum kills the DPN and puts some wounds on the DPT,Steam Tank kills a couple of Warriors. Charges: KF and Demigryphs charge the Warriors Combat:The Khorne warriors take a pounding,the Steam Tank takes more wounds meanwhile in the wood it's a stalemate between the General on Pegasus and his Knights against the Khorne Lord Chaos turn 3: Hero phase: Khorne Lord uses Blood Stampede,DPT fails to summon a DP Movement: Knights move to charge KF,Chosen,DPK and DPT move to charge the wood.

Movement: Everything converges on the DPT Shooting: Hurricanum takes it out Empire Major Victory!! Conclusions: Holy moly are the Empire powerfull,the Hurricanum is insane! I knew I get a sudden death so set up on the left so most of the chaos forces setup opposite and then by choosing the furthest building over on my right and letting my opponent go 1st it forced him into trying to go defend it knowing I had a super fast army.I then basically ignored my objective and moved in the opposite direction to overpower his right flank. This game has been the most satisfying game I've ever played as I had a plan,picked my charges carefully and it all came off beautifully even tho the Hurricanum did kill a lot I'd made it so he had nothing really to charge it or arcane bolt it. fabulous game and I'm still buzzing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combat: He fails to wound!!!! My guys pile in just for the fun game over and Empire minor victory! Conclusions: 2nd game with my Empire in AoS and I wanted to try a shooty/infantry army and for a 1st go I think I did pretty well.The artillery is awesome,cannons are much better than they were,the Hellblaster is good but not as good as it was but the 3 together with an Engineer were awesome. The Handgunners were really good too and the Swordsmen shield worked wonders,they really are a tough unit to shift. Rieksguard didn't perform but they were the last unit to go down and I should have probably put another 10 Swordsmen down to help protect the Handgunners instead. Great game tho and very close..only 1% difference in final scores too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call it a day and the Empire are victorius. That was a really good game and the 1st time I've come face to face with my Empire army.I knew it would tough even with the handicap system we used but I felt confident in getting 2 turns in row and really punishing the Empire. Trouble is tho I failed the important charge rolls and I underestimated how hard it was to actually get rid of the warmachines. The way they were positioned meant I couldn't get behind them and get to the crew and without rend my chariots and skeletons were next to useless. There are lots of things I'd do differently in hindsight and I was out deployed when i think about it but overall a really good,fun game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discoking Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 The Battle of La Maisontaal So I was re-reading the End Times books and it struck me how well suited the scenarios in the End Times are to AoS and while we never got round to playing them with 8th we've decided to have a go using AoS. 1st thing I'd like to point out is that I don't have all the armies needed so we have used what we have which bests fits the scenario.In the the 1st scenario it's Brettonia vs Vampire Counts but we have used Empire instead of Brettonia. We also use the appendix at the back of each book to only take whats listed or use a good substitute,so the Empire doesn't take Hurricanum,steam tanks etc. There is no effort made to balance the games and what ever fits the bill is taken. The Battle of La Maisontaal Empire army defending La Maisontaal: General with Battle Standard (General) General on Horse with Sigmarite Weapon General with Greatsword General on Pegasus with Lance and Shield Balthazar Gelt Amber Wizard on Horse Amber Wizard Warrior Priest with Greathammer Warrior Priest with dual Hammers Engineer 20 Swordsmen 20 Handgunners 10 Swordsmen 20 Halberdiers 10 Swordsmen 20 Halberdiers 11 Empire Knights 5 Reiksguard Knights 3 Demigryph Knights 3 Demigryph Knights 2 Cannons 1 Hellblaster Volley Gun The Empire army had to stop the Undead General from getting within 12" of the entrance to La Maisontaal Undead army attacking La Maisontaal: Krell (General) Vampire Lord on Nightmare Strigoi Ghould King Wight King Necromancer 32 Skeletons with Spears and Crypt Shields 38 Zombies 40 Ghouls 30 Grave Guard with Great Wight Blade 30 Grave Guard with Wight Blade and Crypt Shield 9 Black Knights 9 Black Knights 5 Blood Knights The Undead had to get Krell to within 12" of the entrance to La Maisontaal The Undead go 1st in this scenario Battleround 3 Undead turn 3 Herophase: The Ghoul King regenerates 2 wounds while 3 Zombies and 2 Grave Guard pick themselves back up. The Ghoul King summons 10 Ghouls behind enemy lines to aid him in his fight on the Undead right flank while the Vampire Lord summons 5 more Black Knights to ais his fight on the left flank.The Necromancer Mystic Shields Krell. Krell uses Lord of Bones on the Grave Guard unit with Wight Blades and Crypt Shields.

Both Warrior Priests cast hammer of Sigmar one for the Hangunners and the other for the the Halberdiers. Movement: Free of the Black Knights the General and his Knights move to charge the Blood Knights.The Rieksguard retreat from the stalemate with the Black Knights. Shooting: With Krell in range now the cannons take aim,hitting 3 times,wounding 3 times but they just bouce off the Armour of the Barrows.The Hellblaster takes aim at the Wight Blade wielding Grave Guard and cuts 5 down.The Handgunners take out 8 Great Wight Blade Grave Guard.

discoking Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 AoS Free people Vs Skaven : Storm the Fortress AoS really is great and one it's best qualities is how you can just dream up scenarios and the rules just work with minor tweeks here and there depending on what your doing.We played one such game the other day which I wasn't going to reprt on but once we got it set up it looked fitting so I did. It was also a good excuse to play my Skaven which I've been building up recently The story behind this scenario is that Archaon has received news of a Free Peoples mountain fortress which has remained hidden from Chaos.The Skaven found it and have been tasked with taking it,tho not trusting the Skaven Archaon sends Gutrot Spume to keep and eye on things.The Skaven hope to lure the forces out of the fortress with a decoy war camp not far from it while tunneling close to the fortress to attack from as close as possible and hopefully take it before the Free people return.The 1st part of the plan works and and when the Free People's fast moving force moves out the Skaven emerge and launch their attack. The aim of the game for the Skaven was to get inside the fortress within 8 turns for a minor victory and claim the throne room for a major victory.The Free People had to kill all the Skaven for a minor victory and stop them entering for a major victory. The Free People could only select infantry for the defence and 1 cavalry model to try and activate the under attack beacon. The Free people were allowed to set up on the battlements with one hero but had to set any remaing heroes in the throne room and at least 1 unit in every large room of the fortress.(this was to represent a little un- preparedness on the Free Peoples part) The Free People could have units of 5 instead of minimum 10 The Free People get d3 reinforcements who would arrive turn 5 in the road section 6" in. If the Free People could activate the alert beacon(wizard tower on battlefield) then they would receive d3+2 reinforcements who could also move the same turn they arrived otherwise just entering the board counts as their movement for that turn. The Skaven could deploy anywhere 18" away from the fortress and not inside the road section. The outside: the gree card represents the rock face the fortress is built in. The inside: Couple of things about this game were that the main fortress gate had 10 wounds and 3+ save and the door to the throne room had 10 wounds and a 4+ save.Melee attacks against the doors auto hit,shooting attacks still needed a hit roll. Only attacks with a damage value of 2+ could damage the doors. I also couldn't wait for Forge World to release rules for my Skaven Warlord on Brood Horror so we made some up.Nothing broken or absurd but 12" move,12 wounds,4+ save,6 Bravery: 3 Halberd attacks +3 /+3/1 , 6 Claw attacks 4+/3+/2 , 2 Jaw attacks 4+/3+/d3 : Regen d3 if it killed anyone in previous combat phase or if it didn't it could gobble a skaven within 2" to heal d3. Free People deployed 1st and consisted of: General with standard(general) General with Greatsword Wizard(amber) Warrior Priest General on Pegasus(beacon activator) 2 Cannons 10 hangunners 16 Halberdiers 10 Swordsmen x 2 5 Swordsmen x 4 Skaven army: Grey Seer Warlord Warlord on Brood Horror Warlock Engineer Packmaster 19 Clanrats x 2 10 Stormvermin x 2 3 Rat Ogres Warpfire Thrower Warp Lightning Cannon Hell Pit Abomination Gutrot Spume 5 Blight Kings Turn 1: Skaven Grey Seer used his ability "you will not run"(YWNR)and Mystic Shields the Stormverminand while the Warlock Engineer Mystic Shields the other unit of Stormvermin. The army just runs forward. The Warp Lightning Cannon(WLC) shot the main gate and rolled a 4 for power and only manged 2 wounds. Free People General uses "Hold the Line" and buffs the Hangunners and Swordsmen on battlements.A unit of Swordsmen run out from the fortress interior to guard the gate. The rest of the troops inside move to better postions and the Heroes leave the throne room with the Pegasus rider on a mission to to get that beacon. The Cannon on the right and the Handgunners cut down 12 Clan Rats while the Cannon on the left only managed to slay 2 Clan Rats. In the battleshock phase the remaining 7 Clan Rats were about to run untill the Grey Seer gave them the eye :nono: and none of them decided to run :thumbsup: Turn 2: Free People The General again tells his troops to Hold the Line(HTL) while the Wizard tries to Mystic Shield the Pegasus rider before he leaves but fails. The rest of the troops inside take up positions with the Heroes desperately trying to get to useful positions The Cannon on the left and the Hangunners take out 6 Clanrats while the other Cannon shoots the Stormvermin but the only hit is saved. 4 Clan Rats flee from Battleshock. Skaven Grey Seer uses YWNF and casts Mystic Shield on the Stormvermin again while the Warlock Engineer Mystic Shields the other Stromvermin. In the movement phase both Clan Rat units move to the base of the towers while both Stormvermin units move to possible charge range.The Hell Pit rolls 10 for move and closes in on the Pegasus along with the warlord on Brood Horror. Gutrot and his Blightkings hang around the tower in the hope of stopping anyone from activating the beacon. The Warp Lightning Cannon shoots the main gate again and rolls a 1 for power The main gate has 2 wounds left now. The Skaven charge but some poor rolls means only 1 Clan Rat unit made it up the walls to attack the right cannon,1 Stormvermin unit just made it to the Swordsmen guarding the gate and the Hell Pit rolled big which enabled it to charge the Swordsmen and the Pegasus. In the combat phase the Hell Pit goes 1st and kills 8 Swordsmen,the Cannon crew then take out 1 Clan Rat,the Stormvermin finish off the Swordsmen,The general on the Pegasus puts 4 wounds on the Hell Pit and finally the Clan Rats kill a crew member. Turn 3 Skaven Grey Seer uses YWNF and casts Mystic Shield on the Stormvermin again.The Warlock Engineer charges up Warp Lightning and frazzles 6 Handgunners.The Hell Pit regens 3 wounds. The army just moves as far forward as possible to get good charges. In the shooting phase the Warp Lightning Cannon goes to take out the main gate but rolls a 5 for power and no wounds.The Warp Fire Thrower powers up and incinerates the last Handgunners. Some ****** charges again,even with the +2 charge banners the Stormvermin failed to scale the walls as did the Warlord with only the Clan Rats making it up the walls to charge the other Cannon.The Rat Ogres charged the gate and the Warlord on Brood Horror charged the Pegasus. Combat and the Clan Rats attack the Cannon crew but miss,the General on Pegasus wounds the Hell Pit once,the Warlord on Brood Horror hit the Pegasus for 2 wounds,the cannon crew miss their attackers,Clan Rats miss the other Cannon crew,the other crew miss the Clan Rats and finally the Hell Pit puts 2 more wounds on the Pegasus, Free People The General uses HTL,the Wizard fails to cast wildform on the Halberdiers but the Warrior Priest bestows Shield of Faith on them. Movement and the halberdiers position themselves ready for whatever tries to get thru.The Pegasus retreats with with a mighty run roll of 6 and gets within 1 more move to activate the beacon. The Swordsmen on the battlements move to ramparts to stop any skaven coming right over the walls. Given both Cannons were under attack it was fitting they missed lol :thumbsup: Halberdiers charged the Rat Ogres. The Halberdiers went 1st and killed a Rat Ogre who got mad and killed 6 Halberdiers,the crew on the right miss the Clan Rats,the other Clan Rats killed the last crew of the left cannon. 1 Halberdier flees Turn 4 Free People Again the General uses HTL,the Wizard fails to cast wildform on the Halberdiers and the Warrior Priest bestows Shield of Faith on them. The Greatsword General moves in to support the Halberdiers as does the Warrior Priest.The Pegasus reaches the beacon :bleep: The remaining Cannon Crew manage to fire a shot off this time taking 3 Clan rats attacking them out. Halberdiers kick off combat and inflict 3 wounds on the Rat Ogres,Clan Rats miss the crew,the crew kill 1 Clan Rat,Rat Ogres hit the Halberdiers for 6 again which opens up the way for the Greatsword General to cut down 1 Rat Ogre while the Warrior Priest failed to hit them. The remaining Halberdiers suddenly loose their nerve and flee. Skaven The Grey Seer uses YWNF but fails to Mystic Shield the Stormvermin.The Warlock Engineer powers up his War Lightning and fries 5 Swordsmen on the battlements.The Hell Pit heals back up. Movement and the Clan rats atop the tower on my right enter the tower thru the top hatch and reach the 1st floor.The Rat Ogre retreats to clear a way thru for the Stormvermin to charge.Gutrot sensing the Pegasus is going to fulfill his job moves up to support the rear of the Skaven attack. Shooting and the Warp Fire Thrower missfires,the Warlock Engineer misses with his pistol but the Warp Lightning Cannon incinerates the last cannon crew....freeing up the Clan Rats to enter the fortress. The Stormvermin finally storm the walls tho the Warlord again is not very good at climbing..useless fecker. The other Stormvermin charge thru the main gate and into the fortress interior while the Clan Rat units charge down to the ground floor and into the Swordsmen blocking the stairs.

Death turn 1 Isabella summons a unit of Hexwraiths.Vlad summons a unit of Vargiests. Rotbringers turn 1 Glottkin uses Lords of Nurgle(and does so every Hero Phase) and casts Fleshy Abundance and Mystic Shield on the Blightkings to it's right.The Nurgle Scorcerer cast Mystic Shield on the BLightkings to his left.

Tommy Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I remember these, they were great! Think I came across them while browsing the warhammer forum perhaps? Felt like they showed AoS as intended, rather than just untidy clumps of models. Thanks for reposting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
