Turn 1.

advanced my whole army. Nothing happened in the magic phase, as most of my spells were out of range.

Bottom of T1

Cauldron gives a 5++ to the big corsair block.

Advanced a bit. Magic was only 6 dice, but was very powerful for me. I cast flame cage on the big gors successfully, had a power of darkness and a fireball dispelled, and successfully cast Piercing bolts on the gors killing 7.

Shooting was 20 shots, 1 wound, 1 armor save.

End of my turn.

Bottom of T2.

Cauldron continued to give a 5++ to the 40 corsairs.

The Tuskgor chariot fled the hydra's charge, leaving the board. THe CoK failed to rally, and did the same. Harpies chaged the gor unit, the BG charged a chariot, contacting a cygor at the same time, and the 10 AHW corsairs charged the other tuskgor chariot.

All made it in.

In magic, not much was done. Only one spell went off and that was the big verion of glittering robes. Very useful. Disaster may strike when my lvl 4 panics the spearmen unit with her killing orgy (6 spears in 2 phases) and they fail a rerollable ld9 to run for the rear. We'll see if she rallies.

In shooting, things went well for me. It was my first time using RxHbs and they paid off big time. The 20 HB corsairs put 4 wounds on a razorgor chariot, while the ten HB corsairs combined with 10 RxCB to put 3 wounds on a cygor. The other RxCB killed 2 ungor, thinning out the bunker.

CC also went well for me, with the 5 harpies putting a wound on the BSB before dying. The 10 AHW corsairs lost a man, but put a wound on the tuskgor chariot to win by musician and he failed his break test and ran. The BG put 3 wounds on the Razorgor chariot and a wound on the cygor but lost 4 men to the razorgors and 4 more to thunderstomp before holding on their stubborn test.

The next round will be crucial.

Beastmen Turn 3

Gors and Rzagor chariot charged the unit of 20 corsairs.

magic: got snake eyes, but thanks to the herdstone ended up with 5 PD vs. 2 DD (ryric go 1 channel). attempted to cast amber spear on the hydra but it failed. Cast soulblight on the 20 corsairs, off on 10 and ryric got 9 to dispel..so at least something happened in the magic phase.

Shooting: C1 threw his tone at WH2 but missed and hit 2 corsairs..failing to wound both.

combat:Gors+Razagor chariot beat corsairs with minimul casualties. Corsairs flee, chariot pursues and catches them and the gors hold.
Cygor and razagor chariot vs.BG combat: black guard kill the cygor before he can attack and inflict a wound on the chariot. chariot attacks back killed 4 but still looses combat..but gets snake eyes and holds.

I officially hate Cygors, deffinetly one of the most overpriced models (pts wise) in warhammer.

A good turn for me. The left unit of Witch elves charged the advanced Razorgor chariot, which held, while the 2hw corsairs on the right flank charged the tuskgor chariot which also held.

Magic saw him dispell a flame cage on his gor, and a PoD by the metal sorceror, while cursing the dagger several times. I successfully cast a PoD with the SS and a medium fireball which thinned out his ungor mage bunker a bit.

Shooting saw my hydra flame 12 gor and the RxCB kill 2 more. The RxHB corsairs and the RxCB combined to reduce the surviving cygor to one wound.

Combat saw the Witch elves put the final wound on the chariot and the black guard finish off the other razorgor chariot. The corsairs put a wound on the tuskgor chariot but it held with 2 wounds remaining.

Turn 4

Gors charge big corsair block but fail. Bestigor charges harpies..they hold.

magic: magic phase went well. Got rolled 9 for PD dice, +3 from herdstone, so 12 PD...ryric had 6DD. Cast Caress of Liniph on WH1, but it caused no wounds. Casst Amber Spear on WH1 but that was dispelled, and cast big version of soulblight but that was dispelled scrolled...so what had the potential to be a good magic phase sucked, with nothing happening.

combat:bestigors easily killed the harpies and reformed to face the big corsair unit. Chariot lost 2 wounds and killed 1 corsair, lost the combat but held..

overall not a great turn, could have been much better i got better rolls for my casting...

Bottom of T4 finished, a good turn for the DE.

Corsairs, left hydra, and witch elves combo charged the gor block, which held.

magic: He scrolled a big fireball on the ungor bunker, and dispelled a flame cage on the beastigors. I successfully cast PoD with both the tome-holding metal sorc and the supreme sorceror. The warriors remained braved despite 3 more of them getting knifed this turn. I finished by casting Enchanted Blades and glittering robes on the corsairs, while the cauldron switched to a +1 attack buff.

Shooting: the hydra flamed 10 beastigor, but he saved the handbow and crossbow shots.

Combat: The Tuskgor chariot killed a corsair and won by 1, but they held. The corsairs had 61 attacks to throw, but wasted 9 trying to finish off the BSB. 18 Gor died before he could strike, and in the end, he only killed 5 corsairs. They fled and the corsairs ran them down while the witch elves and the hydra reformed to gang up on the beastigor next turn.

The rest of the game was rather quick and vicious. The beastigors and the ungor were flanked and wiped out, resulting in a complete victory for the Dark elves!

Highlights: One of my lvl 2s miscast with a three dice cast, rolled a cascade and survived.
He finally got off a caress of laniph on my supreme sorceror and killed him - this could have implications for the campaign.

Final status: Beastmen are tabled, plus bonus points for several standards, BSB, general, etc.
Dark elves lose their CoK that fled off the table, one unit of WE (50), 2 units of harpies (110), 20 corsairs (228) and their general (360) plus a 100 point bonus for the general.

Out of curiousity, does anyone actually read our posts in these threads? Just want to know if the commentary is adequate.

Don't listen to Benigno he is lying to you!! Nobody else ever reads these threads EVER, and that weird feeling of always being watched over you electronic shoulder is standard paranoia.

It´s just paranoia. Yes, nothing to worry about, nothing at all. Move along here.
It´s really cool to have something written here.
