Hey,
Since we're all doing battle reports now, I'll post this here.
My list is this , he had
- Steamtank
- Halberdier horde with 2 lvl2 mages and captain, 20 crossbow detachment and 20 archer screen
- Great cannon, Helblaster with Engineer
- 3 Demigryphs
- Volkmar the Grim on the War Altar
- 2 times 5 outriders
Beastmen rule
I played a denied flank. He put all his guns on the right. My plan is to take the long route and attack his left side. One Gorgy defends the right side. The mages are all safe, miasma spam with a 1 on each D3, 3 miscasts but it's all good.
I easily take care of his outriders, the chalice makes sure that I don't suffer too many hits. The steam cannon gets a wound and goes towards my Gorghon on the right hand side.
That was not the plan
I decided that a Ghorgon versus a steamtank was a good idea and received 3D3 +D6 impact hits for this err in judgement. RIP Gorgy. One shaman decided he wanted to be a normal human being and lost his wizard level in a miscast.
My mino-gor bus finally reached the other side and he manoevered his cannon so that it can destroy that Gorgy. 2 failed charges later (needed a 5 and then a 4, both did not work out) and his halberdiers were laughing their asses off. My general took two cannonballs to the chest and roared "IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT YOU USELESS FILTHBAGS???"
Conclusion
Just like with my OnG army, I made a close combat list and failed to reach combat. Some unlucky roles but things I need to look out for
- I rolled the Pit of Shades but decided to try the miasma spam game. I need some extra mage spells to use up all this dice
- Mino's don't do shit if they are not in combat (but I tried, I really did)
- I cannot use Monsters, I like Monsters but I suck at using them.
Next game will be Haunted Forest with Beastmen (me) versus OnG. Lots of manglers, fanatics and doom divers, oh my...
