KhaosZand3r Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 So my friend and I had his first game since AoS replaced 8th Edition. He decided to run his ogors, while I ran a combined force of Khorne mortals and daemons. My list: Aspiring Deathbringer w/Spiteful and Daemon Weapon (general) Skarbrand Slaughterpriest w/hackblade Herald of Khorne 20x Bloodletters 10x Chaos Warriors 10x Chaos Warriors 5x Chaos Knights Skull Cannon 5x Flesh Hounds 6x Bloodcrushers His list: Ogor Tyrant w/None Left Standing and Blade of Vir...... (general) Firebelly Butcher Frostlord on Stonehorn 3x Ogors 3x Ogors 3x Ironguts 3x Ironguts 3x Leadbelchers 3x Yetis 2x Mournfang cav Ironblaster/Skycannon The battlefield had an Arcane Ruin in his right corner, a watchtower roughly in the middle, a Magewrath Throne in the middle on my right side, and scattered Wyldwoods. Deployment: I deployed my mortal units on my left side, daemons on my right, each with their respective hero in the center to provide buffs. Skarbrand was roughly in the center behind the watchtower, in order to break LOS from his cannon. He had 2 units with the Butcher on his left, Stonehorn and Ironblaster and a unit of Ironguts in the middle, and the rest on his right flank. Turn 1: I shot his cannon with mine, dealing 5 wounds, and we both moved up the field. He returned fire on my Bloodletters, but their banner brought some of them back. The Stonehorn destroyed my cannon in a quick melee, and his Firebelly used the Arcane Ruins to summon a Spirit Host unit in my way. A unit of warriors under their general's influence, along with some muscle provided by Skarbrand, quickly cleaned that up. Turn 2: My Slaughterpriest used his prayer to deal 4 mortal wounds to his Tyrant, which was then finished off by my general. My Knights engaged his Yettis, which were rescude by his Mournfangs. The Stonehorn rampaged through most of my Bloodletters and Flesh Hounds, while the Bloodcrushers failed their charge behind the Magewrath Throne. The same unit of Warriors then charged into his Leadbelchers, losing one man to the Wyldwood. My Deathbringer and Scarbrand charged and annihilated his Tyrant, the Fire Belly, and a unit of Ogors. Turn 3: My Deathbringer then fell back to support the other unit of Warriors that had moved into the Wyldwood, but was cut down by the Leadbelchers before he could provide his buff. Meanwhile, the Stonehorn crushed my Herald, and Skarbrand rampaged through the Ironblaster and a unit of Ironguts before being finished off by the Stonehorn. The Bloodcrushers were in a slow melee with the Butcher and 2 other units. I conceded at this point as I had only 4 Bloodcrushers, the Slaughterpriest, and a unit of Warriors left. I realize some things I could have done better were moving the Herald onto the Throne to give the crushers his locus, as well as having Skarbrand head straight for the Stonehorn. While his army's overall toughness was a pain in the neck, especially with the Stonehorn's damage output, it was a fun battle. Skarbrand really showed his worth. MVP's The Frostlord on Stonehorn delivered the killing blow to over 900 points worth of models, while only taking a few wounds in return. Skarbrand easily paid for himself by slaughtering 640 points worth of models as his anger exploded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
