    This battle was extremely frustrating, my opponent Stevie is always fun to play but this game he drew out the rage face. You'll see why. Deployment is shown below, after vanguards. I'm using some proxy models, the treeman is my varghulf and the dogs have some models behind them to show that the units are of 10. I was confident about the match-up and I got good spells, but it was not to be. Ogres take the first turn and he marches forwards, magic is ineffective as I dispel his fireball on the varghulf, shooting he does 5 wounds to the left dogs and both cannons fire on the varghulf, that regen saves one and takes only 1 wound from the other.



    This is where it goes wrong, I fail a slightly long charge with the crypt horrors on the mournfang, the ghoul bus gets into his bulls. No problem, I'll van hel's the horrors in to block the mournfang. Right? No.

    The firebelly in the bulls hellhearts in my magic phase and rolls 30 inches, catching all of my characters. It ends my game, as it ends my magic phase my draining all my dice, my level 4 is drained to level 1 and takes 2 wounds, my scroll vampire takes a wound. I can't block the mournfang, so in his turn 2 he charges my general. It's game over from there really, my chaff crumbles away.

    I do break the bulls and run them and two wizards off the table, then in turn 3 I irresistably pit of shades his ironguts, killing the BSB. He cannons off the varghulf though, and my chaff is all crumbled or killed. The mortis engine dances around the inpassable rock screaming the mournfang until it succumbs to crumble on my turn 4.


    My turn 3 The ghoul bus is in combat with the ironblaster drawn in by the fell bats, which I break but don't pursue.


    Start of my turn 4 and the net closes in on the crumbling remains of the vampire army. Both of my remaining units charge the ironguts, I win and leave him with only 2 ogres and a slaughtermaster on 2 wounds but of course, stubborn crown.


    No more pictures, I was regretting playing on after turn one by this point. The vargheists did kill the ironblaster, but the quad charge on the ghouls crumbled them and the horrors off the table. We called it there, 3 turns too late, as I could easily fly the vargheists out of range for the last 2 turns and they wouldn't crumble.

    Ogres scored 2316 out of a possible 2500
    Vampires scored 1062 out of a possible 2650 (I got 1/2 banners and the BSB)

    Win to the Ogres by +1254 which is a  15-5 win to Stevie!

    Well done you cheesy bastard ;)
