Serious showdown: Tzeentch versus Fire Aelves!

So today was an epic clash between my disciples of tzeentch and my friend Dan's vicious mixed elf army! His elves are all linked by a firey colour scheme and pheonixes hence the name fire elves.

 

My tzeentch are instead linked by the fact they all refuse to die. I may be bad at killing but at least I hold out well :D

For our scenario we had to try and hold both objectives with no enemy models near them to win.

It was a super fun and close game with lots hinging on lucky (and unlucky) dice rolls. I tried out 6 skyfire and oh boy is it much better than 3! Though had difficulty displacing dans eternal guard and his phoenix tore through my warpfire dragon. I had a lot of units hold on well though and my 20 tzaangors took MVP for me for just holding their corner for practically the whole game! fending off dragon knights, bleaksword and a hydra!

I made a lot of mistakes and forgot some things as it's been a while since my tzeentch force came out to play. As usual they did really well at holding their ground and a few tricks allowed me to keep some of his units locked in combat to keep my objective safe. I also played some of my units a bit poorly, although they did well my tzaangors were locked in a corner all game and my warpfire dragon drawing the attention of a phoenix and his guard really hurt. He should have instead launched forward to mess with the eternal guard on Dan's objective. I also didn't use my destiny dice enough which was very silly of me. It's a powerful mechanic and I need to utilise it better.

Unfortunately I forgot to take notes for a full batrep so I shall remember for next time but it was nice to get more playtime with my tzeentch and tzaangors and they definitely remain a firm favourite for me. So many attacks! 

Next steps with the army (besides painting) are gonna be test out horrors some more as extra shooting and cheap wounds could be useful and see about maybe a second tzaangor squad. I also need to really practice different things with them and nail down a good list mixing the DoT and STD units. Regardless I'm constantly learning new things and really got to see my strengths and weaknesses today.

 

Below are a couple of late game pics (apologies for my lack of paint, it pains me too). And sorry for this odd and sparse recount! Better to remind me to write it down next time! Regardless it was a fun clash and ended in a draw. I shall have to organise a rematch sometime and do a proper writeup.

 

Me and dan will join forces next week for a 3v3 vs khorne where my order boys will come out for a spin. I'll try and get notes and a batrep for that!
