Misanthrope105 (WoC) vs lucky git (ogres), 2k 8th

[lucky git]

here's the thread then,

I've decided to use ogres after I found this list lying about,
tyrant, thundermace, armour of silvered steel, 300
slaughtermaster , 200
butcher, bangstick, dispell scroll, 180
bruiser, sword of swift slaying, greedy fist heavy armour, 179
5 bulls, standard, 195
5 bulls, standard, 195
6 ironguts, standard, razor standard, 353
2 leadbelchers, 110
gorger, 75
giant , 205
which comes in at 1992 points.

roll for scenario,

1d6
3 = 3

so that's battle for the pass...

[lucky git]

number of terrain pieces

1d6 +4
6 + 4 = 10

why can I only ever roll 6's for terrain!?!

see what types they are,

2d6
1: 5 + 6 = 11 marsh
2: 2 + 1 = 3 steadfast sanctum
3: 6 + 6 = 12 encampment of destruction
4: 4 + 6 = 10 magical mystery
5: 4 + 3 = 7 mysterious forest
6: 5 + 1 = 6 building
7: 4 + 1 = 5 hill
8: 4 + 4 = 8 obstacles
9: 3 + 6 = 9 river
10: 1 + 1 = 2 settlement of order

sum: 73, average: 7.30

rolls for the marsh, steadfast sanctum, encampment of destruction, magical mystery, hill, obstacles, settlement of order,

1d6
1: 5 = 5 mist wreathed swamp
2: 3 = 3 wizards tower
3: 2 = 2 charnel pit
4: 3 = 3 nehekharan sphinx
5: 4 = 4 temple of skulls
6: 6 = 6 fence
7: 1 = 1 grail chapel

sum: 24, average: 3.42

and finally D3 buildings and obstacles for the encampment of destruction and settlement of order,

1d3
1: 2 = 2
2: 2 = 2
3: 2 = 2
4: 1 = 1

sum: 7, average: 1.75

and here's the final map - I've changed lots of stuff so I'll explain what things are in a bit...

[misanthrope105]

Here's my list:
Chaos Lord - Manticore, hellfire sword, MoT - 495
Exalted Hero - BSB, MoK, Jugger, Sword of strife - 240
Sorcerer - L2, spell fam, ench shield - 165

2x30 marauders - MoK, GWs, Musician, standard - 384
30 marauders - MoT, light armor, Shields, Musician, Standard - 212
5 horsemen - flails, MoS, musician - 91

8 knights - MoK, standard, musician, banner of swiftness - 395

[lucky git]

so, the terrain is a river (top left), then 2 mist wreathed swamps, a wood and temple of skulls, a grail chapel, lots of fences, 3 buildings and a wizards tower...

my roll for deployment and side with reroll,

1d6
1: 6 = 6
2: 5 = 5

sum: 11, average: 5.50

ooh, is it a sign of things to come

[misanthrope105]

[lucky git]

Hmm... decisions decisions,

[misanthrope105]

[lucky git]

[misanthrope105]

roll for spells from lore of death

3d6
3 + 2 + 3 = 8

and i'll pick purple sun for the double

[lucky git]

Here's my giant,

[misanthrope105]

slaaneshi horsemen:

[lucky git]

this is gonna be tough... some ironguts,


Just one point though, I've noticed that 'augments' in this new edition can stack onto one another, but the ogre FAQ doesn't say anything about gut magic stacking. I've been playing it how it's explained in the army book - they can't - but I'm not sure how you want to play it?

[misanthrope105]

lets go with it stacks, that seems fair.



more marauders!

[lucky git]

These marauders just keep on giving don't they! Here's my last unit before characters, some bulls,

[misanthrope105]

khorne knights and BSB because wasnt hard to guess where he was goin anyway

[lucky git]

characters,

from top to bottom, butcher, bruiser, tyrant, slaughtermaster.

My roll for first turn with reroll,

1d6 +1
1: 2 + 1 = 3
2: 5 + 1 = 6

sum: 9, average: 4.50

[misanthrope105]

which characters are which? i'm at the gfs house right now so i can't finish my deployment but ill get on it as soon as i finish work in 7.5 hours

[lucky git]

no worries, and I'll give you a clue

from top to bottom, butcher, bruiser, tyrant, slaughtermaster.

[misanthrope105]

lol, posting too early makes me silly

roll for first turn

1d6 >= 3
6 = 6 ... success

characters should be fairly obvious:

[lucky git]

OK, any reason for the big blob on your lord? To show which direction he's facing?

Anyway, are you going first or second?

[lucky git]

Oooh, I've just realised I've got two arcane items on my butcher , do you mind if I swap both for a feedback scroll?

[misanthrope105]

go ahead

i'm going first, im gonna include my vanguard move in my first move if thats ok. and thats just his facing yeah.

manti and rider fail test so they are both frenzied, but can't charge anything so its kinda pointless.

heres moves, magic up shortly:

[lucky git]

Moves look fine, if a little scary . Looks to me like you've got a bit of ' 2 waves ' going on

[misanthrope105]

winds of magic:

2d6
1 + 4 = 5

channel?

1d6
6 = 6

so i have 6 PD and you have 4 DD.

but i dont think i can hit anything and i dont wanna risk a miscast so on to you

[lucky git]

no charges so here are moves,


see what type of wood it is,

1d6
2 = 2

so that's an abyssal wood, my ogres now cause fear

onto magic,

2d6
6 + 3 = 9

you get 6, I get 9... channeling,

2d6
3 + 6 = 9

an extra dice for meee,

so, lets start with trollguts on my slaughtermasters unit,

2d6
6 + 4 = 10

cast on a 14, dispell?
