just thought id start this thread up so after games are played people can talk about them, see where they went wrong what could be changed etc :-) ill start with my vamp list = got totally destroyed by marcs dragon lord. i went wrong just in the whole army list trying to make my vamps combat and magic doesnt work well. i love my ghouls but as ben said should switch them for sum skellies and def need a heavy hitter black coach doesnt do it till its powered up which is never a certainty. also since im the only one in WHFB for nats what do people think of my list for this year (im aware as of date only ben and marc have played against it hoping to get colin in tourny and paul (and others???) b4 nats.) i do feel dirty using daemons they are over powered but its prob the only army iv got that stands a chance this year ( i would use wood elves but there not painted and im quite lazy lol) as of date its only lost 3 times (marginally by marcs imba knight horde, a star dragon immune to flaming attacks and a grey seer who looked at the plaguebearer unit and laughed as it deformed into clanrats!!!!) but 2 of those armies ill never see at Nats so thoughts? also planning to start 40k again this year (with daemons) so after next week if someone wouldnt mind running through sum game basics etc that would be cool :-)

so thought id recap the games ic had this week. well its started off with a bad week with my first game against pauls Orcs & Goblins Vs my Wood Elves (yes the true weg is bak). it started off really well archers took out a chariot and his goblin shaman wouded himself using the itty ring, waywatchers happily killing sum wolfs. was looking really close till turn 5/6 where it all started to go wrong. the orcs thanks to the lord help killed and reclaimed 2 standards from my bsb as well as wiping out his wardancer unit. waywatchers after shooting all other bolt throwers charged the last one and failed sum how and then a unit of gob archers killed them and the only survior help the noble run and never return. and i believe the other unit of orcs finished of my 2nd warsancer unit and my dryad and branchwraith unit over 1000 points in 2 turns :-(. 2nd game this week was against colins dwarfs. was actually a really good game dwarfs spent most shooting against GUO finally killing him because i was afraid to charge him when he had 1 wound left. main battle was bugmans rangers and the lord hammers facing off against an intelegent epidemus who in typical chaos fashion left his unit and ran sacraficing his unit to slow the dwarfs down (this actually paid off the unit champ survived) then i got a flank with my other unit and the rangers ran. but for the next 2 turns i killed hammer after hammer but alas after my both champions and a heral were dead 2 pesky hammers made the lord stubborn and immune to fear and terror meaning they held for the final turn pushing it to a victory in colins favour. special note to my nurglings all 4 summon bases and my 3 normal they did very well killing all bar 1 warmaching and 2 units of thunderers/crossbowmen. my next 3 games were at the games workshop. the first against a dwarf player ok list organ gun, 2 bolt throwers (no upgrades), cannon and grudge thrower, gyrocopter, ongbeards, wariors and thunderers with unit of hammers for his lord. other characters were a thane bsb and 2 slayers so i was happy i used my nats list and pretty much furies killed all warmachine only lost 1 outa 10. and my magic hit its usualy 4-7 S7 hits per horror unit was all good by the time combat hit there wasnt any more than 2-3 combat res before battle and with my nurgle unit at its full +5 with posion banner it was a walk over. next my beastmen make another show this time against a high elf player. he likes his spearmen taking 3 units of 15 to hide his mages unit of white lions and a unit of swordmasters for his lord. 2 bolt thowers and a unit of reavers was it. first turn for the elves did a wound on my ghorgon but that was it i move up fast as pos and thought bout tatics then relised my shaman had the no6 spell and thought i could really do with another big thing on the feild so picked 3 die rolled em casino style and behold another turn 1 irrestable ghorgon appears he was not impressed. but alas a bolt thrower turn and fired single bolt inflicting 3 wounds the folowing phase meaning 3 T tests for shaman and he failed 2 :-( making the beasty disappear but by this time the other one was in combat with spearmen, razorgor taking apart other bolt thower while 3 chariots charged another. he charged his white lions into comabt with my minataurs (with my lord and hero) basically the bounced off n got mauled. my turn and charged the swordmasters luckily impact hits killed all masters that would of been able to attack so i mauled whole nit bar the lord who held on a double 1 basically next turn he died and my ghorgon, lord, hero and a lone minatuar +3 chariots and 2 razorgors moved at full pace to his only unit left the reavers final game this week was a conflict test match which was against a dark elf duo. hydra and 2 units of shades with sum cold ones and 2 sorceress. we gor first turn moved up slightly just judginf where he was goin to send hydra cast some spells luckily i was just out of range of the ring of hotek for this. but managed to wound a few xbow mena nd made one unit flee who then rallied as his forces moved up no damage to me although dave (my team mate) lost 2 units of dogs and a unit of marauder horsemen. next turn i unleashed an impressive 31 shots at eh hydra from my flamers and bring it down, over the next 2 turns my magic and flamers killed both units of shades, the cold ones and both xbowmen units so dark elves gave up so thats a brief cap of my games this week hoping to get some more in next week and ill keep u's informed :-)

Why yes I did. Obviously. It looks like it was done by a 5 year old. I drew it using the GIMP with only a mouse, hence the poor quality.

So I think I had to write down somewhere what I did today. Somewhere online where I could point to it and gloat for the rest of eternity. Somewhere where I could remind Barry of his shame every time he looks.
Today, using only a unit of goblins that had already taken at least ten wounds, I killed the "combat slann" in close combat, in one turn, without wounding it.
Let this be a warning to all those foolish enough to think that having a drug addled frog sitting in the middle of a battlefield alone is a good idea. It isn't. Goblins happen. ;D

Goblins need no allies. They aren't weak like dinosaurs and pointy tall folks.

very true, you dont even need your own troops in sum cases as the mighty black orcs fled and died while noble goblins stayed to fight on lol. twas a good (if not overly long) game with many, many unexpected things happening. 2 weeks time hoping to be a game with my self and marc vs colin and a potental ally?? (or meat shield depending how he feels) i plan on using a lovely 2500 pt army of chaos with 18 models hope ppl will be there for more randomness

I have already volunteered to be Colin's buddy for this game. I'm thinking guns, lots of 'em. And tanks. And more guns. Or maybe I'll use some sort of combat slann... hmm. Hard to choose.
