Okay, first time doing this, but battle report time!
This is a 1000 point battle against skaven (y'all already know how it ends).
My list
Bloodsecrator (general w/thronebreakers thorc), bloodstoker, sliaghterpriest (blood sacrifice)
2x10 reavers, 10 blood warriors, 5 blood warriors, 5 skullreapers, wrath axe
His list
Warlock bombardier, warlock engineer
6 stormfiends, 2x20 clanrats, soulsnare shackles
We each got 18" up from the table edge to deploy, and objectives would randomly appear after the first round in one of our thirds.
Setup
He placed two nawholes in my backline, and one in his. He placed his clanrats near said nawhole, and his stormfiends on the right (my right) supported by his heros.
I placed my alter as far up as I could. I then put my heros behind it to try and have cover. On my right I had my 10 bloodwarriors with my skullreapers behind and on the other flank I had 10 reavers with 5 bloodwarriors. I kept the other ten reavers to screen the middle and hopefully get me some blood tithe.
Round 1
He went first, buffing his fiends and shooting my priest down to 1 health. He also summoned in some shackles in front of my right flank. On my turn, I failed all my prayers, and figured I would just advance. I could've gotten my bloodwarriors into combat with the command ability, but I figured they'd just die. I decided to leave the charge for next turn so I could also go in with my reapers. If he got the first turn, it would hurt a bit, but I thought it would be fine (first time vs skaven, don't judge).
Round 2
He won the roll off and the objectives came down, both symetrically across each other on the left third of the board. Literally the worst outcome for me. Then he proceeded to shoot my skullreapers clean off the board. He sent 20 clanrats to his objective and 20 more to mine through his nawhole. Now I was thoroughly confounded. I decided I could go in against the fiends with the bulk of my force and then sweep around to claim his objective. The other part of my army could get my objective along with some daemons I could summon in. I did get blood sacrifice off, but nothing else. Then I sent my blood warriors and my bloodsecrator at the fiends and they did pretty good damage. Taking out 2 fiends, 1 more from battleshock. 2 damage bloodsecrator is surprisingly good. On a side note, we weren't sure if the bloodsecrator buffed himself, anyone here know? I also tried to get 5 bloodwarriors and reavers onto my objective but missed the charge. As for my casualties, I had a large chunk of warriors killed, but used a cp to not take battleshock.
Round 3
He won the roll off again, he got two great rocket shots from his heros, killing my stoker. Then he went in hard against my bloodwarriors with his fiends and I was down to 3. He kept his rats on the objectives. On my turn all of my prayers went off and the wrath axe did work to his fiends, which I finished off later in the round. I also got 10 reavers in on his heros, only to have them scuttle away. On my left, I sent in the warriors and reavers and found out the hard way that 20 clanrats are not easily displaced.
Round 4
I went first this round and decided to use my blood tithe to attack against his rats in my hero phase. Most of my attacks missed and to make a long story short, he eventually killed my force on the left and stayed on the objective.
By the end of the round I was way behind in vp, so I conceded. I did have a larger presence on board and had killed more guys but he had the objectives.
Comments
I was surprised by how well 10 warriors do in combat, if you can get them all in they can do lots of damage. Throughout the game I had trouble deciding how to keep my troops inside the secretor bubble. How important is it to do this? I was under the impression khorne was bad without the +1 attack, but if that's the case then we'll just loose on objectives like I did. Also skaven are very good. Anyway, this was my first bat rep and my second actual aos game, I had a great time and I didn't forget any rules. (I think)
