Battle Report: Morghoul v. Zerkova

My first time out with Skorne, trying an extended battlebox.

The lists:

Points: 26/25 Koldun Kommander Aleksandra Zerkova (*6pts) * Juggernaut (7pts) * Juggernaut (7pts) Cylena Raefyll & Nyss Hunters (Cylena and 9 Grunts) (10pts) Doom Reavers (Leader and 5 Grunts) (6pts) * Greylord Escort (2pts)

Points: 25/25 Master Tormentor Morghoul (*7pts) * Cyclops Brute (5pts) * Cyclops Savage (5pts) * Cyclops Savage (5pts) * Razorworm (4pts) * Titan Gladiator (8pts) * Aptimus Marketh (3pts) Paingiver Beast Handlers (Leader and 3 Grunts) (2pts)

Yes, I knew he was a point over going into the battle.  I didn't think it'd be a big difference...

Battle Report Deux

Part of the Online Gamer's Journal is playing games with our armies!  Of course, what's the point in participating in a journal that requires games if you don't write them down?  Here's the game I played against local player Mark last Thursday:

Lists

The Arrow's Tip Lylyth, Herald of Everblight  - Shredder  - Bolt Thrower  - Carnivean Shepherd Spell Martyr

eGaspy's Goon Squad Iron Lich Asphyxious  - Deathripper  - Deathripper  - Slayer Cephalyx Mind Slaver & Drudges (full) Necrotech & Scrap Thrall

His list was constructed without knowledge of mine, yet it ended up being the perfect counter to everything I had available to me.  You'll see.

50th post - Battle Report

So, it's the 50th post! For something a little different, I have a few shots of my Legion models in action! I played a game against a former Press Ganger and veteran Circle Player, Menoth's Gambit. He thoroughly trounced me in a 50pt game, but it was quite fun and a great learning experience.

Pardon the shoddy photography, I took these with my Blackberry.

The circle army got the first charge, and before I knew it, I was down half my Legionnaires and all my beasts were at half health.  Lucky for me, Morvahna was fairly far up the field, so attempted an assassination run.

Lylyth plinks Morvahna, reducing her to 2 health

Unfortunately, it didn't work.  The next turn, Morvahna's beasts wiped out the rest of my spawn, leaving Lylyth with nowhere to transfer damage.  The Wold Guardian's auto-knockdown led to a quick demise...

Morvahna charges a knocked down Lylyth and stabs her to death

For those interested, here were the lists:

My list: pLylyth - Shredder - Harrier - Nephilim Bolt Thrower - Nephilim Protector - Carnivean - Scythean Striders + UA Strider Deathstalker Legionnaires (max) Shepherd x2 Forsaken

Enemy list: Morvahna - Pureblood Warpwolf - Woldwarden - Wold Guardian Wolves of Orboros + UA (full) Bloodweavers (min) Wolf Riders (min) Shifting Stones + Stone Keeper Druid Wilder Blackclad Wayfarer Wolf Lord Morraig

Yay for having painted models in action!
