Thank you.

Of course, I will be glad if anyone wants to read it 😊 not sure how long it will take before we finish the game and before I manage to write it. I would guess Sunday.

OnG won the dice of who goes first 😊

Pre-game thoughts:

Chaos Dwarfs:
I think it will be a tough match where the Prophet will have a hard time surviving with all the shooting. I will be surprised if he survives two turns. I am always surprised by the masses of RnF my opponents manage to put on the field. His squigs looks awesome. I play lore of Hasut and will try locking my opponent's magician with ash storm.

Turn 1:

OnG:
Failed two animosity tests on savages and flank wolf's.

Charges: savages had to charge the closest khan who fled then the charge failed. Wolfs charged the fleeing khan who fled further.

Movement: moved forward but a little problem with fitting everything in the middle. The goblins embarked the house.

Magic: first sell was dispelled and the possibility of a second spell was removed by chalice.

Shooting: the bombardment against the prophet on Taurus begun but he managed to overcome it all. He killed one khan. We also rolled an extra d3 attacks/windows for the house. So 8 goblins were allowed to shoot.

Close Combat: no combat.

Chaos Dwarfs:

Hell cannon passed its test.

Charges: no

Movement: I rallied the khan and moved him forward to block the savages, also moved Kdaiis forward. Both of these moves were clear mistakes. I moved the prophet on Taurus forward on his flank. I had big problems finding a good spot for him as the side featured a mega squig. I thought a bolt would kill it.

Magic: in magic I bolted the swung but it was dispelled I then followed up to ashstirm his savages/sorc unit but was met with a dispell scroll. Th little prophet missacsted and killed a goblin wolf lord with a mini fireball and took one wound from toughness test and lost just fireball and level from misscast table.

Shooting: magma cannon killed some savages on a 2 roll/after misscast reroll) and hellcannon killed some black guard. Death shrieker missed the giant squig.

Close Combat: no combat

Turn 2:

OnG:
Passed all animosity tests.

Charges: he called whaaaaag and savages charged the khan who fled and then redirected into Kdaiis. He then continued and flank charged the kdaii with his black orcs. Oh oh...

Movement: He moved his wolfs forward, and random moved through my prophet but only managed one wound on Taurus. He moved out of the house into a fungus good with the archers who ate all shrooms they could find

Magic: I dispelled first spell (the one that grants rerolls on a lot) but only got one dice removed with chalice, so he then moved the squig heard forward but had enough five to cast reroll to wound with his goblin shaman. I thought long and hard and opted to dispell scroll the reroll to hope my kdaiis would survive.

Shooting: he kept bombarding my prophet on Taurus, but just managing a single wound on Taurus till the last stone thrower who managed to hit prophet in the head, wound him, miss ward and multiple wounds enough for a direct kill. No more magic for the chaos dwarfs... The monster reaction made the Taurus go frenzy.

Close Combat:

Chaos Dwarfs:
Hellcannon passed it LD test.

Charges: fireglaves charges the squigs, great Taurus charged the closest bolt thrower and warriors charged the black orcs.

Movement: I rallied the hand and moved it to stand in the way for a charge on my war machines.

Magic: no magic left

Shooting: I tried to pick off some savages with my three cannons.

Close Combat: Great Taurus finished of the bolt thrower and overran over the edge/field. Warriors stood firm against the black orcs both having a lot of saves and not a lot of wounds. Think the only wound came from the general on the boar. Squigs made a mess of the fireglaves, and I wished I just had stood still and shoot instead. But as the castellan gives them stubborn, they hold firm.

Turn 3:

OnG:

No animosity.

Charges: wolf riders charged the death shrieker.

Movement: removed the other wolf's forward.

Magic: he started with giving the black orcs reroll to hit which I tried to dispel with all my dice and failed. Hethe continued to move his savaged with the hand of gork.

Shooting: one bolt thrower did a 5,5,5 killing of the magma cannon with a single great shoot. The other failed to hit or to wound with their shots aiming for khan and smith with chalice.

Close Combat: squigs continued the beating on the fireglaves only leaving a single champ went and the castellan to fight back. Black orcs and chaos dwarf warriors continued the low amount of kills.

Chaos Dwarfs:
Hellcannon passed its LD test

Charges: I saw a chance for a comeback with dual flank charges with Hellcannon and took it. Khan charged the black orcs and Hellcannon charged the squigs in their flank.

Movement: prophet moved forward to charge next turn if needed or hopefully join the warriors one day.

Magic: no magic

Shooting: no shooting.

Close Combat: I started with the hellcannon unit where the squigs killed the last champion but only manage one wound on the castellan. The hellcannon and it's handlers managed to kill all the goblin hearders and the squigs exploded. They killed the castellan, one wound on the hellcannon, no wounds on the smith, killed the wolf riders making other wolfriders flee off the table, killed a khan, killed a chaos warrior and three black orcs. Whaooo! What just happened?

Hellcannon overran into the black orcs. And together with the hellcannon, my warriors managed to overcome the lack orcs who fled and were caught by my hellcannon and died.

Chaos dwarfs are making a comeback! Still an uphill race but think it's a lot closer now.

Turn 4:

OnG:
Goblins stood still arguing.

Charges: savages stumbled forward 1” after failing a charge on the warriors rear who fled behind the hellcannon.

Movement: Mangler squig moved way out west.

Magic: he rolled pretty good(more then I can handle)on channel with 4/2 and a channel, so I think I am up for a significant magic phase.

Shooting: all the shooting went to finally kill the great Taurus.

Close Combat: no combat

Chaos Dwarfs:

Hellcannon failed it ld test and pivot to face the savages!

Charges: lonely daemonsmith charged the savages and the orcs fled in response to a dual charge combo with hellcannon.

Movement: warriors reformed and hellcannon charged the wrong way bumping the daemonsmith:).

Magic: no

Shooting: no

Close Combat: no

Close Combat: no combat

Chaos Dwarfs:
Hellcannon Failed its LD test again!

Charges: Warriors charged the Savage Orcs who fled off the board!

Turn 6:

We started calculating and saw that the match was still ongoing with the huge amount of points locked up in WMs.

OnG: No animosity.

Charges: No charges

Movement: Goblins tried to get a position where they could shoot at either daemonsmith or hellcannon if needed.

Magic: nothing needed.

Shooting: Here the bombardment of the lonely daemonsmit and the hellcanon begun. And the WMs managed to hit and take out the daemonsmith for 200p

Close Combat: no combat.

Chaos Dwarfs:
Hellcanon passed its LD test.

Charges: Hellcanon charged the goblins but failed. Warriors charged a warmachine and failed.

At this point, the game was over as there were no more actions to do. After calculating the game ended with a draw with both sides having around 550p left on the table.

Small wrap up:

This game took some time back and forth over multiple weeks.

I thought I lost on turn two and my opponent thought he lost in turn 5 and then it ended with a draw

A lot of fun Warhammer goodness. I apparently made some positioning mistakes with kdaii fireborns and charging with the fireglaves.

Regarding my list, I would probably change to get more drops. It feels like I never know where to put my units as I have too few drops and my opponents are always free to choose where to engage. I will switch khans to wolf riders to get two more drops in my upcoming builds as soon as I have finished painting them.

And again my Hellcannon flank charges is superb MVP!

That was a report well worth waiting for. I thought you were done for after those early mistakes, and clawing back a draw was a respectable result.

As ever, I loved the photos - your battlefield and armies look stunning.

Thank you. We are a bit rust on games over 2000p, so we needed like four occasions to finish it. And with children we had like 30-60min game time each occasion.

Not sure we played squig herders and thunderstomps right. Not sure if I am allowed to choose

My Christmas vacation will probably be my reflocking time for the game board
