Greetings, quite a while back I used to post quite a few battle reports on here, on this thread. Now i have gotten back into wfb I thought I'd share some new ones.
Charge of the Wild Brigade
Battle of the Innocuous Forest of Peril

I hope they entertain.

hi, strangely enough I have taken my army out of storage to play a few games and ended up back here as well. Yes you're right there's not many people about but maybe we could start a mini wood elf renaissance?

Greetings all, I've been away from WFB for many years and the last time I checked Asrai.net was read only. a few weeks ago I played a game of 8th edition and loved it and vowed to play more. I was pleasantly surprised to find this forum again. I was even more pleasantly surprised to find I had remem...

After a mini fantasy hiatus I had a game of Kings of War. Minty pops His KoW Cherry.

I just had my first game of KoW last week. I must admit for all its streamlined rules there seems to be a good deal of tactical depth. I also managed to write a batrep up in 3 days so I was pretty enthused about the whole thing! It's on my blog if your interested.

I haven't been round here so much recently because my gaming group isn't really playing fantasy atm. I can't see how 9th age will help. The fantasy scene is becoming too fractured what with Oldhammer, 8th Ed, AoS, KoW and 9th Age. What happens when 9th brings a whole new set of issues or nerfs armie...

Mizzard Wodel Strikes Back.

Minty Rides Again (or the curious case of the Trans-specied Dragon Ogre).

It's worse when he moves up shoots all his weapons into a unit then charges in to mop up the remains in close combat! Total beast!

A Half A Game of AoS. Hope you enjoy it.

If Orion has the WANDERER tag then yes it does apply. I intent using him in an aos game soon as in the rules he can shoot with all his missile weapons at once!

Thanks very much for your comments. I have edited the first post as I think it's a great idea. I'm currently working on an AoS batrep that will be put up on here shortly.

Wood Elves vs Warriors of Chaos here.

Unfortunately you cannot take High magic on a level 2. In a recent game against WoC I took this list: Glade Lord, Armour of Fortune, Obsidian Amulet, Sword of Anti Heroes, Longbow, Elven Steed, Shield. Glade Captain, Battle Standard Bearer, Hail of Doom Arrow, Charmed Shield, Dragonbane Gem, Longbow...

I play lizardmen as well as wood elves and if you can get a level 2 metal mage in there searing doom is an unholy terror for Bastiladons and cold one cavalry. Not bad against the Saurus and TG too. Final Trans is a fantastic spell, and Enchanted Blades and glittering robe can make Wild riders even m...

Skirmishing Skinks make Swiftshivers less useful until they're in short range. Even then I'm doubtful of their use. Trueflight are miles better for them.

That skaven list looks a bit light. The main threat is the Doomwheel I reckon. Poison the crap out of that and you should be well on the way to victory. The cannon can make a mess of the EG with a lucky shot. It looks to me like you have nearly the same number of models in both your armies. There ha...

A level 1 Metal mage on a steed is very useful. Searing Doom their 2+ saves.

T & T is great fun. are you taking mercenarys? If you are a witch Hunter and a great cannon! What you have to realise in T & T is you may have to weather 2 or 3 shooting phases before you get one so durability is good. I'd try to get a Branchwraith in there if possible. Most important thing ...

With High magic even an experienced opponent will have to second guess your motives for casting most spells.

I might be.

I've played it once a few weeks ago. I'd definitely recommend using skype. It works well enough with the free version. I may pay a subscription if I get more games in. As I work shifts a day game against someone in another part of the world seems feasible too. For anyone interested I wrote up a batt...

That was an interesting game alright. seems like Undead are very dependent on end times magic phases being kind to them. I played once against Nagash and it took forever! Nice report. It was fun reading it. I don't have the rules here..can you move the turn you get back on the table after overrunnin...

Yes, I'm beginning to think that myself. Of course the trouble with Waywatchers is the DP will probably target them as a priority with spells or combat. I thinking that a level 2 death mage with a sisters bus with +1 Ld can be a nasty surprise with Spirit Leech - again it's dependent on the magic ph...

I know, a more effective way of dealing with him would be multiple waywatchers and a Shadow mage. Reliant on getting that spell though.
