Pre game thoughts: So this is a fluffy little game. I can’t remember last time I fielded the black guard. I fear pretty much everything in his list Need to be a little worried about the dual mangler. Not sure if I should sack anything to remove them :/ He brings a level 4 and I only bring doomlocks and no BSB. Let’s hope the witches run where I want them. Maybe I need to use the doomlocks to stand in the way of the withes. |

Firstly, those gobbos look fantastic  That looks like an interesting game, if you manage to survive the initial hit you will probably brutalize him. Those double Manglers and I'm guessing fanatics should be pretty worrying though. I would say trade your Dark riders for one but you lose pretty much double the points! That squig herd could be pretty abysmal for you too if you're not careful. Looking forward to the report |

He is a really good painter and got back his painting urge and finished his goblin bsb and second mangler Painting is the perfect hobby taking care of sick kids. Indeed it looks grim but I can always hope for some squabbles. Witches should be able to come out on top vs squig heard but it’s will be like a Pyrrhus victory. But that is if they manage to get that far I need probably to sack my riders to draw out fanatics in wrong way and hope one survives to kamikaze a mangler And hope for week winds of magic... |

Post game analysis:
Fun little fast game! It was A lot closer then it looks. One more hit (from with doom diva, fanatics, mangler or magic bolt) on the witches and I don’t think I would have had enough to break his goblins.
We both did some error costing us a lot.
I also think he should have fitted at least one unit of wolf riders/spider riders as chaff in his army, maybe one fanatics and one wiz level less.

What happened to the group of Squigs? Whatever happened to them seemed to have been the difference!

I seriously thought you were toast in that game when I saw two manglers. Kudos for not getting your ass handed to you 😂😂

As I had like 12 witches left and 10 black guard and 4 doomlocks. Manglers are freeking awesome. He roll 11 on them all the time and no 1s on too wound... 🤪 He had subpar magic phases though. Witches are absolutely sick against low armored units. |
