Field of view. My nurgle warriors fighting his storm vermin top right. His rat ogres ran through my hounds  My chimera in mortal combat with his hellpit abomination, he charged me. I put two wounds wounds on him. He only put two on me but charged so I lose combat by 1 and ld 5, I roll 6.....  My hell cannon staring down a doom wheel  My 18 man nurgleites being whittled down by a doom bell and storm vermin. Lore of metal kept me alive longer. I always won combat but he is unbreakable.  Sooooooo I won this combat by a lot. I flank charged his rat ogres with my tzentchians.  .....and he rolls double 1's on his re roll break test..... This is legit and I was like so loud saying OMG!  The dreaded 13th spell.....turned 10 of my 11 man squad into rats..... they just died but yeah my bsb lived only to die in close combat to a fell blade....   I forgot exactly what happened here but he rolled a miss fired and died. Think it was his doom wheel. Yay for me.  My nurgleites were finished off.   End game, good game. I lost in the end. In the beginning I had above average dice rolls and the first 4 magic phases I dominated, 2 turns I rolled 11, one was 9 the other 8. He dispelled scrolled my final transmutation spell. It was fun. My opponents name was Brad. |

Losing isn't bad as long as you have fun. Also, Brad?

I like the 'proliferation' of battle reports on the forum lately. There is no better way to gauge the health of any game or system than this section, methinks.

I guess this isn't a popular battle report due to minimal terrain and not fully painted armies 😢

I think you need more patience, especially concerning games demanding massive amount of painted miniatures. May be in the next 6-12 months, your armies and Batreps would be amazing if you are still as enthusiastic as now  |

ho ho ho at the unbreakable rat ogres!
Hellpit vs Chimera was interesting. Did the Abomination end up chasing down the chimera or did it get away?
The Doomwheel is probably my favourite thing in the skaven army besides Death master Snitch so it was good to see it firing.
Seemed like a back and forth battle.

The abomination chased the chimera off the table. Yeah it was very back and forth until the end. I only had my hell cannon left. At first it seemed I had crazy above average rolls in my favor. But in the end I still lost. His Skaven list was too heavy. Literally 1/3 of his armies was in lords and heroes. I outnumbered him by units and models lol. When I first saw that. I was like wow. WoC in fantasy is like the equivalent of Grey Knights in 4th edition 40k. Skaven inn fantasy is the equivalent of imperial guard in 40k. How the hell do I outnumber you? Lmao |

Looks like a good game. My primary opponent for the longest time played Skaven (and I even moved...still managed to find the skaven players lol) so I know what it's like to be on the receiving end of skaven magic. I HATE the dreaded 13th; it's an even bigger game changer against warriors because they're expensive, low model count armies/units and every loss hurts. This actually is what prompted me to start my Throgg army. Dreaded 13th doesn't work against trolls, dragon ogres, and skullcrushers Keep it up! EDIT: It looks like he min/maxed a bit too. looks like minimum units of clanrats so he could get the warpfire thrower teams, and then as many points as possible went into rare/heroes. This list would be hard to beat unfortunately, but not impossible. You might ask him to tone it down in the future(?) |

Yeah a different opponent did the dreaded 13th spell to my unit of 15 Phoenix guard and managed to turn them all into rats 😢 Yeah he admitted he just picked the clan rats to get the support teams. It wasn't a bad game actually. I didn't play competitively and really just moved forward to fight. I will be honest I did mess up my placement of knights on my first move phase, I gave his hell pit abomination my flank. But I also brought a semi toned down list. He did bring stuff specifically to make me re roll ward saves and had a spell that prevented me from flying which made my disc of tzeentch have to crawl at M1 😣 my chimera still got a charge off with its M6 which was nice Thanks for your feedback 😁 |

haha Storm banner... I've had that used against me as well. Glad that it wasn't as one-sided as it first appeared; hopefully you gave as good as you got  How do you like your hellcannon? I have two: I've always run them together because one never seems to do anything, but at the same time, I always have one of them fail a restraint and try to charge the enemy so it seems like I'm always shooting only one a turn anyway... They're cool models though. And pretty tough in combat, I just don't ever seem to get anything out of them in the shooting phase, cool rules and all. |
