Beginning of game after deployment.

We rolled up Blood and Glory, but wound up just fighting it out anyway. It made things a bit tighter at 4000 points though.

Wood Elves, of course, finished deploying first and won the roll. They chose to go first.

After turn 1:

To start thinks off, the BSB managed to land his pre-game shot on my Warboss and get it through my defenses.

Both sides were mostly jockeying for position, though the Orc Boar Chariot managed to make a long charge into the Warhawk Riders, but only managed two wounds off of the Impact Hits. The Warhawks stuck in combat. Lots of WE shooting, taking off a few models here and there. She focused mostly on the horde of Squigs and Orc Boyz.

After top pf turn 2:

This was a rather critical turn in the game. She turned her sights on the Squigs in the center and in a hail of arrows, managed to just barely take off all ten Night Goblin Herders, causing the Squigs to Go Wild, resulting in an 11" radius, leaving a huge smoking crater in the middle of the table and lots of units licking their wounds! I just had to take a pic here.

(Notice that two of my 3 Spear Chukkas are gone?) The Glade Lord and 6 Wardancers managed to kill off enough Boar Boys to win combat and run them down.

After bottom of turn 2:

O&G start taking back a bit of revenge here. The first Boar Chariot is joined by the Goblin unit and finish off the Warhawks. The other Boar Chariot makes it's long charge into the Wardancers and nearly takes them all out with it's Impact Hits. It wins combat and overruns into the flank of the Glade Guard unit with the Spellsinger. The combined might of the Orc Boys and a Giant are just too much for the Dryads, and after rolling dismally to run away, get run down in short order. None of the O&G artillery can hit the floor with their hats. I decide to test the combined might of two Lords atop Wyverns and see how they fared together. Not bad, but still resulted with both sides stuck in combat.

After turn 4:

The Wildwood Rangers show their mettle and manage to whittle down enough on the Orc Great Shaman to kill him and his Wyvern off. The Black Orc Warboss is proving more of a problem, but backed up with LOTS of Wood Elf Life magic, the Rangers are proving to be quite the annoyance. The Treeman in the center is NEARLY taken out by the Black Orcs, but after making 3, 6-up ward saves, he survives with one wound and wins combat, causing the Black Orcs to flee, but stopping just short of running off the table. The Boar Chariot in the center royally wiffs everything and is charged in the flank by the Sisters. Say what you want about those gals, but their poisoned attacks put quite the hurting on the chariot!
The Giant and Treeman trade blows, nearly killing each other, but stick around for another awkward combat. The Glade Riders FINALLY show up.

After turn 5:

Biggest thing here was the Black Orc Warboss was finally killed off by the Rangers and BSB. That many S5 attacks eventually wore him down. Not to mention, they were always being brought back by the Spellweaver. Without my Lv4 to stop the spells, everything was going through. The Glade Riders charged the Goblins, won and run them down and right into the Boar Chariot, but found it hard to wound. We played one more round after this picture, but I failed to get a pic of it. Basically, the Savage Orcs were piled in on in the middle, resulting in them being run down, but not before they took the Glade Lord and a good number of Elves with them! The Orc BSB and few (4 I think?) Orc Boys remaining, held firm, and finished off the Treeman! After a slew of arrows, the Black Orcs only were left with two members. The Boar Chariot remained stuck in combat with the Riders at the end.

Victory for the Wood Elves! (My wife is quite proud of herself but made it up to me later!

)

Is he expensive? Yeah. Is he AWESOME?!? ABSOLUTELY! It really gives him that bit of extra punch when needed. Certainly helped out in killing of that Orc Chariot and hitting the Savage Orcs!

I ran mine with dryads with crown of command. Neglecting the worst part of loosing combat with the dryads. Not that it helped yesterday as i failed first LD test, then double ones fleeing , but it felt good when calculating pre combat
