I had to proxy my Frost heart in for my Flamespyre, because one of my kids broke it off its magnet stand. It's on my desk awaiting repairs now.

I didn't take many pics during the game, so this'll be short and sweet. These pics were during turn three. Lokhir and Caradryan faced off in a challenge of generals, quite evenly matched, killing each other! Lokhir dealing 2 wounds and Caradryan dealing 4 with the additional death blows! So epic. The Swordmasters wind up dealing a ton of damage to Lokhir's Corsair horde and running them down. The Flamespyre manages to get into the Sorceress and her unit of Darkshards and run them down.

We called the game after the bottom of turn 4. The unit of Corsairs with the BSB and Assassin managed to take out the Skycutter and caused the Lion Chariot to flee, resulting in them overrunning into the Swordmasters, but allowing the Lion Chariot to escape. The following two combats saw the Swordmasters losing combat both rounds, but standing firm against all odds. The Swordmaster Champion was amazing though, issuing two challenges and winning both, against the Corsair Champ and then the BSB, killing both! On the other side, the Assassin was absolutely a terror, taking out 4 each round. It definitely came down to sheer volume of attacks vs GW attacks. The rerolls + Murderous Prowess really paid off, especially since Lokhir's unit had already done damage, plus the combined might of the Master and Assassin really dwindled their numbers to a point that was largely ineffective. Yet, they held. The War Hydra on the other end had come under a large amount of fire from both the Sisters and Sea Guard putting 4 wounds on it over a couple of rounds before it got into CC and ultimately falling to the combined might of the Sea Guard to the front, Tiranoc Chariot to the right, and Dragon Princes to the left. The Lore of Undeath was okay, but not amazing. I managed to summon two units of Skeletons, the first (13 strong) being quickly killed by the BSB's Corsairs, and the second (25 strong) merely applying pressure and herding. I think it'd make a great choice for a secondary Lv2 caster, but not as a primary.

Nice quick batrep. Lore of undeath is a pretty cool lore ad it was nice seeing it taken here on an army other than undead. Too bad you werent able to get some black knights (or better yet blood knights!) Into the combat

Can't blame her, that's definitely the one you don't want going off between the two!
