Way Watcher (WE) vs Huntsmen (Skaven) - 2250pts

[Way Watcher]

Larger unit of WDs:



If you'd like to put down your characters, I can throw the rest of my units on to the table.

[Huntsmen]

Both Warlocks are in the Slave unit on the left and Plague Priest is in unit on the right...

Roll for first turn...

1d6 +1
6 + 1 = 7

Looks like I get the first turn.

[Way Watcher]

That's all my deployment done. Time for you to get the ball rolling!

One quick question; the Screaming Bell has six wounds and counts as a mount for the Seer does it not? Does this mean that the Seer has a unit strength of 7 and can therefore be targeted by shooting etc despite being in a unit? I don't think I've got great chances of doing anything to it, after all the to hit modifiers, randomisation and the skalm, but it would be good to know none the less.

EDIT: I origianlly had my WWs deployed in the wood, but after reading the doomwheel's rules I quickly moved them to the bottom left corner, in plain sight but 12" from your units. I hope this is ok.

[Huntsmen]

Your right about the Bell. You can target the Bell and Seer (hitting the Seer on a 5-6). Both have a 4+ ward. Also as a note for the Doomwheel I normally play it like a spawn, i.e 360 degrees LoS and charge in any direction but must move in a straight line (declared BEFORE you move). Any problem with that please speak out and adjust your Waywaycher deployment if you want I'll let you do this before I make my moves.

[Way Watcher]

WWs have been moved to the bottom left corner where I'll leave them. Rules for the doomwheel sound fine. Well, scary to be honest, but fine none the less. Over to you to get us started.

[Huntsmen]

Skaven Turn 1
Doomwheel moves towards Waywatchers...

3d6
6 + 1 + 6 = 13

Hellpit Abomb moves towards center Wild Riders...

3d6
1 + 6 + 6 = 13

If they're all okay I'll move onto magic.

Ringing for Bell..

1d6
2 = 2

Moves forward d6 inches...

1d6
1 = 1

(movement added to map)

Roll to see if Conderser gives me a power dice...

1d6 >= 5
1 = 1 ... failure

Nope.

Okay I'll start by casting Warplightning with the Grey Seer at the Altar Nobel using his three dice...

3d6 >= 6
3 + 5 + 1 = 9 ... success

Cast. Dispel?

[Way Watcher]

There goes my scroll.

[Huntsmen]

Okay next Grey Seer will cast Skitterleap on the Plague Priest with two dice (one pool)...

2d6 >= 5
5 + 6 = 11 ... success

Cast. Dispel?

[Way Watcher]

I'll let that go through for now.

[Huntsmen]

Okay he teleports between behind the Gladeguard units. (I'll post map at end).

Okay Doomrocket Warlock will cast Warplightning at the Waywatchers with his 2 dice...

2d6 >= 6
5 + 6 = 11 ... success

Cast. Dispel?

[Way Watcher]

Guess I'll have to throw 3 dice at it to be in with a chance:

3d6
6 + 2 + 3 = 11

Gone, just...

[Huntsmen]

Conderser Warlock will use three dice to cast Warplightning at the Waywatchers...

3d6 >= 6
3 + 4 + 6 = 13 ... success

Try and dispel with your last two dice haha.

[Way Watcher]

I just haven't been able to keep up with so many high roles... Are you going to roll for hits and wounds?

[Huntsmen]

You could still dispel with double 6.

No. of hits...

1d6 +2
3 + 2 = 5

Wounding on 2's...

1d6 >= 2
1: 5 = 5 ... success
2: 5 = 5 ... success
3: 3 = 3 ... success
4: 2 = 2 ... success
5: 2 = 2 ... success

5 dead Waywatchers and a panic test

Shooting Doomwheel hits Waywatchers wuth its lightning. Strength of hits (art roll double result)...

1d6
5 = 5

So str10. Randomizing. Hits last Waywatcher 1-3 and Nobel 4-6...

1d6
1: 2 = 2
2: 5 = 5
3: 2 = 2

One hit on Nobel. Wounding last Waywatcher...

1d6 >= 2
5 = 5 ... success

dead
Wounding Nobel...

1d6 >= 2
2 = 2 ... success

Wounds. Does d6 wounds...

1d6
6 = 6

Nobel's dead
If Waywatchers fail panic test from magic however Doomwheel will shoot Slaves instead. If not Waywatchers and Nobel are gone.

[Way Watcher]

Strength 10 for the wheel, more crazy rolling... If only it had moved about 2 inches less, wouldn't have even been in range.
Anyway, may as well make the magic panic check, just in case:

2d6
2 + 5 = 7

Passed, so they all die. And I wasn't aware that double 6s would dispel a warp lightning that was cast on a 13...

[Huntsmen]

Well it counts as a IF dispel. Here's end of turn map minus Waywatchers and my teleported Plague Priest...

Your turn. I use my Stormbanner.
