anyway, for the past year, Iv been getting massively into my fantasy, and today Im going to share some with you...
So, to set the scene, me and my buddy Joe have a long bloody rivalry, with my beloved Empire seeing his warriors off in clouds of smoke, feathers and moustache wax. However, recently I decided to start a new army, and settling on Ogres, I decided to make a decent list, that was the polar opposite of my Empire (NO cannons, in fact no gunpowder units at all, and monsters where possible)
So, last night, Joe challenged me, to meet his Iron Legion face to face, to test gut against plate.
We drew up lists:
2400 Ogre Kingdoms
Slaughtermaster - 355
-lvl4, silvered steel armour, dispel scroll
Firebelly - 207
-lvl2, hellheart, ahw
Bruiser BSB - 193
-ironfist, heavy armour, razor standard
2x10 Gnoblar Trappers - 50/50
2x10 Gnoblars - 25/25
9 Ironguts - fc, standard of discipline - 432
12 Bulls - fc, ironfists, lookout - 419
4 Mournfang - ironfists, heavy armour, FC, dragonhide banner - 360
1 sabretusk - 21
Thundertusk - 250
to face
Tzeentch Sorceror Lord - 410
-lvl4, MoT, third eye, staff of sorcery, bronze armour of Zhrakk, tali of preservation
Sorceror - 120
-lvl2, Lore of Fire
Exalted BSB - 195
-Ogre Blade, charmed shield, MoT, BSB
15 Warriors - 323
-AHWs, std, musician, Banner of Rage, MoN
15 Warriors - 290
-Shields, FC, MoT
5 Marauder Horsemen - 65
10 Chaos Knights - 475
-std, musician, standard of discipline, MoK
6 Ogres - 380
-FC, chaos armour, GW, MoN
Warshrine - 150
MoT
So, with the armies ready, the scenario rolled (Watchtower), and the terrain set up, twas time to start...
So, with Joe winning the roll off to control the tower, we deployed as such. I cant speak for him, but my strategy was mainly whittle the warriors in the tower down with the AP bulls, clean up the rest of the board with the Ironguts and Mournfang, annoying with gnoblars and supporting with the Thundertusk. Knowing I had no shooting, or real offensive magic, his characters were out alone, obviously planning on getting his Exalted BSB into the tower ASAP.
