Apologizes if this is the wrong section.. But atleast these dudes are taking the step towards 6th and 8th Ed battles..  (Some of them will be re-based)
The O&Gs I painted for Mordheim during the sumemr went with me when I visited my hometown, that I visit far too seldom.. A friend has built terrain and had some dude paint his models (?) - dunno why.. iirc he paints nice, better than me! But maybe the terrain took too much time? The guys in that town is about to play a campaign this Autumn so this was an opportunity for my buddy to learn the game, he has never played it. And is too lazy to read the rules apparently, I had to teach him all even though I posted the link to broheim.net in May.. 
It was also meant that I would face a couple of the others, three guys but sadly that never happened.. I was in town fpr 9 days (520 km from where I live) but there was no time for more than three of these matches. But there could have been a fourth if i had not drunk too much beer yesterday.. And my buddy was too cagey the first nights until I conviced him he won´t die from playing....
Anyways. my warband:
Grimfang, Boss wiv great weapon, crossbow. 120 GCs
Shaman (forgot my roster with the other names!). Dagger 40 GCs.
Big ´un, wiv axe, dagger. 45 GCs.,
Big ´un, wiv axe, dagger. 45 GCs.,
5 Goblins wiv short bows. 100 GCs.
5 Cave Squigs wiv teef. 75 GCs.
1 Orc Boy wiv crossbow, dagger. 50 GCs.
1 Orc Boy wiv dagger. 25 GCs.
I quickly wanted my crossbow orcs into the warband and get some for the Big ´uns. Mainly becuase those ar the fav models I made!
And I kinda knew there was a risk putting one on the Boss, making me wanna stand still and shoot - but I also wanted some shooting. It is nice to do a bit in the shooting phase and I know my opponents would be worried..

But grimfang is ded ´ard propa´! he knows best..  The board. Kidna sadly, everything is glued. I like it but.. In places too much terrain? But rather that than the other way around I guess. And if I had a pure melee-warband, I might not care?  |

First match was a Breakthrough and my opponent picked the sideon the right here. That upper right quarter has that edge or drop all around, you can see a set of steps behind the building in the middle. As he deplotyed his Vamp by the stone bridge, plus some Dreg and maybe something else, I massed in the upper left buildings with the shooty Orcs and the rest in front.. I was kinda ignoring his flank, not caring if they broke through. Not too worried to win really.. I was glad to get to play, wanted to shoot some weedy gitz and get loot.. And not fight the vamp really, hehe.. Da ´ard Orcs..  Da runtz.. In shitty lighting..  |

Weedy gitz!   First match was a bit of a mess since he had proxies (tau Drones for ´wolves for example!) But it was fixed for later.. iirc he had a Vamp, female weedy bitch.. Necromancer, 3 dregs that had no clue what to do.. All kinds of stuff. 3 Zombies, 2 Dire Wolves and 3 Ghouls or something like that.
I took way too few pictures, sorry.. It was bad lightning. First game was inside and the other two in his garage.. But atleast there is some.. I wrote down kinda what happened later and atleast remember the post battle stuff good. :9

I told my opponent to kinda rush his Vamp and a Dreg to win, but it would take a few turns.. Since he was too lazy to read the rulebook for a couple of moths I had to tell him everything but - I´m used to it.. Atleast he managed to find on the web what model is "best" and picked the undead (yeah I am whining a bit, for good reason, hehe) And he did push those, Meanwhile I was greedy and wanted to shoot ao my Boss high up in the building quickly picked off and took a Zombie Out of ActioN! With like his first shit.. First blood! But then he did not do a thing. he was too off. Same for the Shaman really but the Big ´uns atleast pushed up and held a few of the middle weedy gits while my oppont´s stuff directly in front of the green tide pulled back HARD. One Gobbo failed Animosity three turns ina row, first two getting a bonus move (!) and then charging a buddy! Obviously he was eager then mad that the rest did not keep up! But he and the other dude failed to inflict damage on each others.. I did catch up after a few turns and the squigs devoured a Zombie. two Dregs fleeing like little girls fell off the 2" high edge towards the river and one was Stunned, lol... That meant the Goblins caught up and the last in the line of the Dregs was shot Out of Action... All while this happened, my opponent running away, the vamp and a Dreg ran up and won him the game. But I poppped off three guys and the one Ghoul was permanently dead.. I was absolutely fine with that! I wanted to get money and experience before facing the undead, all of them.. Post Battle I managed to get enough for more crossbows and the Shaman got Da Clubba (previously he had Led´z Go!) The Undead got 85 GC and bought back the dead ghoul and.. Something else? lol Weedy gitz! For |

2nd match was Skirmish - or Da Little Big ´orn as i called it afterwards. Random pic of more of the stuff..  There was a couple of execution stuff-fingyz I threatend to drag da weedy gitz to. And even an executioner.. But they refused to kooperate.. So I had to krump ´em properly!
Sadly I took no more pics here..  But I did deploy in the upper left corner again, shooty stuff in 2nd floors, behind windows.. And my opponent madea big force going up my left flank. Three Ghouls down the right (they popped in from the pointy fence, trying to assault my force in the buildings. And the Necromancer and a couple of Zombies was in their middle.. I used the big horde of runts as a shiled against the left flanking force with the Vamp... And it took quite a few turns for the undead, who was the more agressive force, to come in...
When they finally did, the "chaff" or runts did a great job! But first a gobbi sniped a Dreg in cover.. the squigs counterattacked and the undead started to lose stuff.. Meanwhile crossbow bolts flew, picking off anything not in cover.. Killing Zombies.. i got many crits and took several things Out of Action even before the main force hit my runts..
To counter the three ghould, the tow Big ´uns took the right flank and charged in.. One missed and was Stunned.. While the other hacked down one.. After a few turns of fighting, the Stunned Big ´un was out of Action but the Shaman, casting Da Clubba came to help and all ghould were knocked out! Securing the flank..
Meanwhile, losing a few gobbos and Squigs, I had almost annihilated the left, big Undead horde... the Vamp, stodd in the middle of the market place, after killing a squig... But a Gobbo took aim, hit, critted, got the worst crit and killed her with the one shot! By that time, the undead was down to a Zombie, Necromancer, her and one Dreg.... And I had warned my buddy to pull out earlier.. But he thought I was trciking him... Wird, since I tried to say what I planned and how I was thinking all along... But whatever... My boss swiftly crossbowed the Necromancer shortly after, then an Orc got the Zombie beside him and the Undead later fled.. Well, the ONE Zombie left.... A total blood bath!
I lost 2 squigs, 1 Gobbo and that Big ´un....
Post Battle 1 squig 1 Gobbo died.. he got Lad´z got talent and grimfang made sure his gob was permanently shit after too many advices! Weedy git!  The Big ´un got a Smashed leg and rolled a 1 so could not run but charge.. ouch. But also got a Skill so I boguth a crwossbow and gave him Quick Shot. The other one got Might Blow, the boss BS 5, the gobbos I 3... And the orcs Ld 8.. Not too good the henchmen stuff. And I had enough for a third Crossbow Orc.
The Undead got no gold. At all. No Heroes left.. And a Wolf, Ghoul and Zombie died permanently... While The vamp got Frenzy (too bad it was not stupiditY! ), the necromancer Fear from Horrible Scars where the Boss shot him in Da Face! A Dreg lost -1 T. But he also got ´1 A on the ghouls and one became a Hero. it felt as if he, apart from money, got better off, almost.. But no money was really harsh. My buddy was really down, I had to console him, lol.. But I kinda thought he could have it since I had tried REALLY hard to help him during the whole summer with tips etc. And he did not take one single thing in. I told him about not worrying too much about killing but making sure to keep heroes alive, not charging all in.... He did just that.. Whatever..

Third match was Chance Encounter... And I had been eating squigs.. or crayfish really, with my parents. And been drinking beer.. Kinda went to play to be nice to my buddy and later regretted that.. Hehe.. I played like a stupid (!) Orc, half drunk, not caring - plus, I had the most terrible dice rolls in a loooong time.... While my opponent kinda was an ass and thought it was all his massive skilll... Yeah, it was that bad..  IMG_1065 by Tobias Björkman, on Flickr Right after this shot, the new - wll, one of the orcs failed his Animosity, the first turn, and charged and killed another one.... And a Gobbo failed and charged and Stunned another gobbo... And it just got worse... For example, my bashy Big ´un charged a Knocked Down Xombie (after failing two Fear tests previos turns). failed to wound, next turn missed both, after that, failed to wound when the Zombie was once again knocked down... I wounded the vamp with crossbow fire but then hit her five times in two turns, doing pluck all. Same with the rest... The runts just died... I was about to leave volountarily but not before losing the Shaman, being stunned to a Ghoul.... Real brutal. My opponent rolled well. It happens, but he was not very sportsman about it so I was kinda uncaring.. I lost interest.. Post Battle he got 3 plus one shard my shaman droped ( I had rolled 2, he 3) plus like six more from his six heroes (I killed a Ghoul and a Zombie, I got many hits but few wounds and barely any Out of Action, very frustrating) he got like 115 GC and kept two shards... I got 35 GC and lost 2 Squigs, 2 Gobbos, the Crossbow Orc..... I was worried the few heroes and many models would become just that.. A sad ending which would not have meant anything if he atleast not had gloated... But I went home, watched Showdown in Little Tokyo with my dad, drank more beer - AND... The next day met another old friend (real friend this time!), which sadly did not have time to play. But he gave me a big bag of Night Goblins, Spider Riders, Orcs plus loads of bitz! They will be added to my growing WFB O&Gs (ten goblins only, really!) And some here.. I might make a few Boyz with Bows.. Cheaper than crossbows and move AND fire which might be needed on that table... Some areas are very hard to deply boyz and have the crossbows be useful... I hope atleast the pics was a bit nice.. . |

Hahaha. To my defense, I was slightly drunk too... long train ride, warm... Chugged a few as I typed... I had planned to take more and better pics and more notes. And play more.. :/ Next time?
The boyz did good, only being massively let down by stupid dice in the last game. But I was impressed how even the squigs held up being charged.. They´ll be back! Building five boyz with bows now....
