Turn 3 - Warriors of Chaos
--------------------------
 

Lot's of things happening in this turn!
First the Trolls passed their Stupidity check again.
And by doing so they made their long charge into the rear of my Greatswords.
The Daemon Prince charged the front while the Swordsmen counter charged the Daemon Prince.
Scyla charged the Huricanum.
Exalted Hero on Disk charged the flank of the ICK
Chimera charged the Crossbowmen
Hounds 1 fled 7" more
While Hounds 2 and the Chariot moved up the Marauders moved back again.





Magic was evenly divided by the winds this time 5PD - 5DD
Treason was cast on the Halberdiers.

Javelins yet again did nothing on the armor of the Demigryph Knights.

In combat..
Crossbowmen die valiantly trying to stop the Chimera but it overran into the back of the Halberdiers.

ICK take 3 casualties and inflict none back, they break and get caught by the Hero! The Chaos Knights reform.

Scyla put 3 wounds on the Hurricanum but the Acolytesput another wound on Scyla.

Daemon Prnce Kills 4 Greatswords
WP and Swordsmen do nothingand the Greatswords did nothing on the Prince nor on the Trolls
I think the Trolls took 2 more Greatswords down.

In the Challenge between the Warrior and the Arch Lector, one of the Warhorse pullin the Altar killed the Warrior Champion.
BSB Captain kills another Warrior
Warriors kill 5 Halberdiers
Halberdiers kill 2 Warriors
Halberdiers put 1 more wound on the Dragon Ogres killing 1
Halberdier Champion and my BSB where the only one left, so only my Champion fled 7" followed by the Ogres 6"

Turn 3 - Empire, 2nd Intervention Army of Altdorf
-------------------------------------------------
 

Demigryphs charge the Hounds they flee but get caught anyway!
The lone Halberdier Champion keeps running.
The Wizard turns to face the Chimera (who had reformed to face the War Altar)




Winds of Magic are strong giving 12PD - 6DD
Pit of Shades was cast on the Chimera but it passed the test
Soulfire got dispelled
Hammer and Shield both cast on the Greatsword unit.

The HBVG turns face towards the Marauders and dice rolls are great triple 8! Could have killed 7 bt oly 6 in the unit, so the unit wiped out!
The Great Cannon sends a cannonball towards the Chariot and with a great crack it falls apart!

The Arch Lector gets it by the Warriors and War Altar runs past the Hurricanum taking the badly wounded and incapacitated Arch Lector with it.
Warriors couldn't keep up.
Daemon Prince kills 2 Greatswords, Warrior Preist and the Swordsmen are ineffective, Greatswords do 4 wounds on the Trolls but nothing on the Daemon Prince.
The Greatswords then break from combat running past the Hurricanum.
The Hurricanums Acolytes then put another wound on Scyla and Scyla himself was mezmorized by the beautifull stars painted on the coach and did nothing.

Turn 4 - Warriors of Chaos
--------------------------
 

The Chaos Knights charge the Wizard, not wanting to give up on the magic fase yet he holds.
Dragon Ogres charge the fleeing Greatswords and they run off the board. And redirects into the Hurricanum.
The Warriors chage the Hurricanum aswell (they must fear those acolytes!)
The Chaos Trolls charge the War Altar that takes the severly beaten body of the Arch Lector to safety off the board.
Chaos Hounds 1 fail to rally and runn off the board aswell!
Exalted Hero and the Chimera move. The latter to go look what those Demigryphs will do.





Winds of Magic again lower for the Chaos turn gave 6PD - 4DD
But Inferal Gate gets off and sucks the Great Cannon to its doom.

Daemon Prince slaughters 3 Swordsmen and they run and get caught!
Warriors lay the final blows on the Hurricanum and it falls to pieces burrying the acolytes
Wizard dies in the challenge of the Knight Champion.

Extra note I made: MVG?!? (can't remember what this is...) did 2 wounds on the Daemon Prince.

As most of the troops now had fled the field or where destroyed, Johan decided to sound the retreat. Going away to regroup and replenish its troops!
Till next time Chaos, you won't be that lucky then!

The odss where against him and he throws in the towell.

Victory practise for the Empire!

His army marched forth and soon his scouts reported a large force of the vile ratmen marching towards his own colomn. Quickly he set up his battle line to meet them head on!
Eager to test his new mage he let Lenaert Jansz de Graeff pick out his metal spells

After thoughts:
I had some good luck in the first turns, but when the battelines clashed my luck seem to have run out.. I think that I had to little control on the field to pick out my battles better. Having a few more chaff units or goign Griffon formation would have helped me more here.
Also staying defensive undermined getting my choice of battles together with the run out luck didn't help..

Therefor adjusted lists will be incoming for the next Eurobash!
But maybe I will have another report for you as I hope to do the first battle from the Blood of Sigmar campaign soon!

Deployment
----------
 

Ghorst's troops start to deploy first.
From Left to Right:
The Konigstein Stalkers, The Feasters in the Dusk, Helman Ghorst (on Corpse Cart)
The Direpack was kept in Ambush.


von Korden set up his troops.
On the hill: The Hammer of the Witches, next to it The Knights of the Blazing Sun. In front of it all: Sigmar's Sons with von Korden and to their right The Silver Bullets.

Battle overview


Rolling for the first turn: VC get's a +1 for the scenario rules
von Korden's accusation needs to point at Ghorst.

Turn 1 - The Faithful Few
-------------------------
 

von Korden found that he was hampered by the swordsmen so he moved out to see if he could reach out to Ghorst while the Empire line would hold.


Magic was skipped as von Korden didn't had an use for his ring yet.

The Hammer of the Witches took aim at the Corpse Cart, but it misfired (rolling a 4) and it wouldn't shoot for next turn as well. Von Korden was not pleased.
The Silver Bullets took aim at the Crypt Ghouls and managed to turn 1 back to the soil!

Turn 1 - Ghorst's Nightstalkers
-------------------------------
 

Ghorsts host stumbled forward.


The Magic Winds blow and give Ghorst 5PD and von Korden 4DD.
Ghorst casts Dance Macabre giving the Crypt Ghouls extra movement towards the Empire line.
Ghorst then casts Gaze of Nagash with Irresistable Force. It kills 4 Swordsmen.
The miscast results on a 6 and Ghorst saves on a 1.

Turn 2 - The Faithful Few
-------------------------
 

Seeing a chance to show his leadership Eben Swaft declared a charge by his Swordsmen on the Crypt Ghouls.
They make it in to combat.
Von Korden moves in closer towards Ghorst while the Knights move in to support the Swordsmen.



The Winds of Magic blew and von Korden decided to make use of it to activate his ring. Net of Amyntok was Irresistably cast on the Corpse Cart.

The Silver Bullets now take aim at the Skeletons and kill 4.

Sigmar's Sons wiff all their attacks and loose one to the grabbing claws of the Ghouls, they do win combat and 1 ghoul crumbles back to the dark earth.

Turn 2 - Ghorst's Nightstalkers
-------------------------------
 

The Direpack emerges on the battlefield turning their attention towards the Great Cannon.
Ghorst rolls to see if he can move, passes the test and moves up. The Konigstein Stalkers move and wheel towards the combat going on between the swordsmen and ghouls.



Magic Winds blow firm giving 11PD to Ghorst and 6DD for von Korden, but Ghorst fails his test (regenerates 1 wound) and isn't able to cast any of his spells.

The Swords kill 2 ghouls but loose 3 of their own they loose battle by 1 and their faith falters as they fail to hold. They run 7 but are caught by the pursuing ghouls and are dispersed.

Turn 3 - The Faithful Few
-------------------------
 

Preceptor Lupio Blaze seeing the urgency in the situation in front of him didn't hesitate and charged into the flank of the Ghouls.
The Silver Bullets seeing their direct thread being occupied turned around to face the Direpack to be able to shoot them next turn.
In the meanwhile von Korden preoccupied tracking down Ghorst moved in closer to him (halting 5,5" infront)



Back in action the Hammer of the Witches turned towards the Direpack hoping to obliterate them with a Grapeshot. But it only fired off 2 projectiles that missed the direwolves!
von Korden too 4 shots at Ghorst doing 2 wounds and killing him outright!
Due to the General being slain the magic that holds the undead to this world dissipates and 6 Skeletons, 2 ghouls and 2 Dire Wolves crumble.

The ghouls kill 1 Knight while the Knights slaughter 6 ghouls, they loose combat by 8 and the rest crumbles away. The Knights reform to face the Skeletons.

Turn 3 - Ghorst's Nightstalkers
-------------------------------
 

Testing to see how the army holds without it's General: 7 Skeletons crumble while the Corpse Cart and Dire Wolves pass.
The Corpse Cart charges von Korden who readies his Pistols but fail to wound the undead contraption.
The Skeletons (what is left of them) charge the Knights.
The Dire Wolves charge the Great Cannon.



Impact Hits do nothing on von Korden and the 6 attacks by the brothers Ghorst also fail.
von Korden making his 2 attacks hits with 1 but rolls a 1 to Wound, the re-roll also produces a 1!!!
von Korden looses the battle by one on his improved Ld (9) - 1 he fails his break test and flees 12" and the cart pursues 7"

The Knights kill 1 skeleton, combat resolution makes another crumble and 1 stays put.

2 crew got killed and 1 dire wolf bites the dust. However the crew fail their breaktest and the cannon is left behind.

Turn 4 - The Faithful Few
-------------------------
 

Von Korden believing to have run far enough caught his breath and turned to face the renegade Corpse Cart.


The Silver Bullets aimed their handguns on the Dire wolves and shot 4 of them down.

The Blazing Sun Knights finished off the last skeleton and reformed towards the Corps Cart.

Turn 4 - Ghorst's Nightstalkers
-------------------------------
 

The Corpse Cart charged von Korden again. He makes his Stand and Shoot and gets 2 Wounds on the Cart only to see them regenerated again.

The Dire Wolves charged the Handgunners whom shoot at them taking all of them down on the charge!

Impact Hits cause 1 Wound on von Korden, von Korden makes 2 Wounds on the Cart, making the combat a draw.

Turn 5 - The Faithful Few
-------------------------
 

Knights of the Blazing Sun rushed into the combat to aid von Korden in his battle.
The Handgunners failed their swift reform and made a normal reform facing towards the combat and tower to occupy it if the battle would linger on.


The Knights put another wound on the Corpse Cart. But they needed to shield von Korden's badly wounded body from further harm after him taking his last Wound.
The Corpse Cart then crumbled back into the dirt.

Aftermath:
Next battle von Korden and Ghorst both will start at -1 wound (due to not surviving this battle)
But von Korden gains Stubborn for killing Ghorst.
Lupio Blaze, preceptor of the Blazing Sun gains Devastating Charge for destroying a unit in battle.

VC has 4 victory points (2 for von Korden, 1 for the great cannon, 1 for the swordsmen) ticking 4 points on the Time Tracker, still keeping the same effect of The Fires of Faith (+1Ld for all Empire units)

Great thread, and many fine reports 

[StealthKnightSteg]

Great thread, and many fine reports 

Thanks!
Many more to come as the Eurobash (edition 7) has come to an end
Many more losses to learn from! 

[Gunman006]

Yeah nice reports, enjoyed reading them in my downtime at work lol

[stareso]

A lot of fun reports SKS! Thanks for posting so many. They are educational, losses as well. I can see some parallels with my own play style, you seem to play with a somewhat static line, I do the same. This is inviting for Empire because we get to shoot more. But I think it also leaves all options wide open for the opponent. They decide where and when to attack. Just as you observe in that last skaven game. I'm personally still struggling how to combine shooting with mobility.

[StealthKnightSteg]

Well I changed my static line to a more moveable line with the reversed Griffon formation.. As you'll see in the coming reports I try to force my self to more maneuvrabilty, though I still find it hard to do so as you have less drops then your opponent. But it's better to limit their movement ranges then your own. (Still learning)

The Waaagh vs. Empire, 2nd Intervention Army of Altdorf
=======================================================

Overview
--------
Scenario: 1. Battleline
Location: St. Niklaas (Belgium), HQ Gaming Club
Date played: donderdag 1 mei 2014

Johan still displeased by his last defeat ordered his captains together for a scolding!
Was this what the Empire and Karl Franz sent them out to do? His Captains nodded these results needed to improve!

A few days later on his march through the Nordland they encountered a large goblin army, wondering why they where so far away from the World's Edge Mountains.
Some militia walked towards the army of Johan, they seemed to be tracking this goblin horde for a while and according to them it looked like some sort of expeditionary force.

Together with the militia Johan marched out to confront this host eager to test his new tactics that he talked over with his captains.

Deployment
----------
 

Aparently the Goblin army was led by Skarsnik and made sure that the Empire's Wizard needed to come on as a reinforcement.
The rest of the army was good to go.

Jacob Duym the Celestial Wizard chosen for his supporting lore, now having a bit more time, chose his spells:
(rolling 1-2-4-4 going for Sig-1-4-5) took Iceshard Blizzard, Harmonic Convergence, Uranon's Thunderbolt, Casondora's Comet

While the nameless goblin shaman (lvl2) took Gork will Fix It and Curse of tha Bad Moon from the Little Waagh (rolling 4 and 6) and got really lucky and had 6 Mushrooms.

Both armies deployed facing eachother.
Empire (left to right)
Great Cannon, ICK of the Blazing Sun with Jacob Blommaert Warrior Priest, Demigryph Knights, Helblaster Volley Gun with Engineer aid, Archer detachment1 // Free Company Miltia detachment from Nordland // Hurricanum, Halberdiers with Willem Corneliszoon van Duyvenbode, Captain bearer of the Battle Standard and leading the army on the field Arch Lector Willem II van der Marck // Archers, Archer detachment2 // Swordsmen detachment




Goblins (left to right)
Night goblin archers, Wolf Chariot // Shaman, Trolls // Night goblin spears // Night goblin spears, Spider Riders // Night Goblin Spears, Squick Hoppers // Skarsnik, Mangler, Night goblin archers // Squickherd, Night Goblin BSB, Giant, Orc Big 'Uns // Night goblin spear horde, Wyvern with Orc Warboss, Spider Riders, Doomdiver.




Rolled off to see who wuld go first, Empire 6 +1 vs Goblins 6.
Empire to take first turn.

Turn 1 - Empire, 2nd Intervention Army of Altdorf
-------------------------------------------------
 

Looking at a huge amount of green skins Johan wasn't to eager to surge forward just yet, he wanted to see how the first movements of the green wave would develop before committing to the slaughter of close combat.
So the ICK and DGK moved up only a little, but Captain Hendrick Lonck on his Pegasus rushed forward to get at the Doomdiver as fast as he could.
A bit late to the party but Jacob Duym entered the field and joined up with his Archer unit.



Magic was strong at the start of the battle, giving 12PD vs 6DD
Jacob Duym casted the Comet aiming for the center of the goblin line, but his attempt got Scrolled.
Iceshard Blizzard was then succesfully cast at the Doomdiver.
Harmonic Convergence succesfully at the ICK.

The Great Cannon took aim at the Wyvern and it's Warboss considering that as it's primairy target. It was a perfectly aimed shot! Taking the big Monster down and wounding the Warboss (2 wounds).

Turn 1 - The Waaagh
-------------------
 

Animosity made the Center Archer unit take it out on the Spear Horde resulting in 2 dead goblins in the horde and 3 dead archers. While the Spider Riders at the wall made a squabble out it.
The Trolls didn't pass their stupidity test and stumbled 1" forward.

Mangler moved 12" and rushed toward the Empire center, while the Giant and the rest of the left flank moved forward with the archers going the full distance.
The Orc Warboss now left without his ride joined with the Big 'Uns.



Winds of Magic where slim and gave 5PD vs 4DD and a channel.
Bad Moon got cast and hits a Troll before ending up in the path of the ICK, The Troll regenerates the wounds caused by the Bad Moon.

Doom Diver fails to shoot due to the Iceshard Blizzard.

Turn 2 - Empire, 2nd Intervention Army of Altdorf
-------------------------------------------------
 

ICK want to charge the Chariot, it elects to flee, redirection on the archers fails and they move 6" forwards.
Captain Hendrick Lonck charged the Doomdiver.
Archer detachments move forward for the redirects while the other detachments with the hurricanum take up positions.




Mediocre Winds gave 6PD (+1 Hur +1 Channel) vs 4DD
The Hurricanum cast its Stom on the Giant but fails to hit.
Comet got dispelled
Harmonic Convergence is cast on the Hellblaster.
Badmoon Vortex moves infron of the DGK.

The Great Cannon shoots at the Chariot and does 2 wounds on it.
Helblaster Volley Gun shreds the Mangler to bits
While the arrows of the archer detachments fail to impress on the Squig Hoppers.

Captain Hendrick Lonck made short work of the crew operating the Doomdiver, kiling 2 and making 1 run away leaving the contraption deserted.
He then faces the flank of the goblin army.

Turn 2 - The Waaagh
-------------------
 

Trolls still went stupid and moved 4"this time
Animosity made the left most Archers move 6" and also the Spears behind the trolls but couldn't move through.
Left side Spider Riders made a long charge into the DGK.
The Giant failed the charge towards the Archers and their Stand and Shoot did nothing.
The Chariot rallies.
Rest of the army surges forwards.




Magic Winds where dim and ony gave 3PD and 2DD
Gork Will Fix it gets scrolled
Dispel on the Bad Moon Vortex fails.
So the Bad Moon travels on through the DGK but doesn't wound them.

Left most archers shoot at the ICK and manage to knock 1 Knight from his horse.

The DGK kill 6 spider riders for 0 wounds back. The Spider Riders then ran as fast as the can in. going 9" and the DGK pursueing 3" (on swiftstride roll!)

[StealthKnightSteg]

Turn 3 - Empire, 2nd Intervention Army of Altdorf
-------------------------------------------------
 

ICK charge the Spears nxt to the woods making a fanatic appear that goes straight through but only scratches the armour of the Knights.
DGK charge the Squick Hoppers making a Fanatic pop from the Archer unit behind. that whirls towards the archers but is just short.
Hendrick Lonck charges the flank of the Spider Riders.
The center moves up and the archers take on a better position for redirecting. While the swordsmen detachment moves up to be able to aid Hendrick Lonck.





Winds of Magic picking up strength gives 9PD and 4DD
Comet gets dispelled
Hammer and Shield gets cast by the WP on the ICK
Harmonic Convergence cast on DGK.
While the Bad Moon vortex now moves behind the DGK after a 15" move.

Both Archer detachments fire at the their closest target but both fail to land a hit or wound.
HBVG does 4 wounds on the Giant.
Great Cannon misfires while aiming for the chariot but will be able to shoot next turn.

Goblin Spears fail their Fear test (shrieking blade)
Jacob Blommaert the Warrior Priest kills 1 and the Knights kill 7 and the horses trample 1 more.
Goblins fail to do anything on their WS1, they break and flee 6" and the ICK pursue 5" (again what's up with the swiftstride rolls...)
Atleast the Goblin unit ends their move in the next unit (going past 1") they fail their Panic test and run also (past the first unit)
Due to the pursue of the ICK it triggered yet another Fanatic from the unit behind the Trolls, killing 1 Knight.

The DGK kill all the Squick Hoppers before they can do anything and they overrun into the fleeing Spider Riders killing them. They then reform to face the center Archer unit.

Meanwhile Hendrick Lonck and his Pegasus fail to hit anything but so do the Spider Riders. So Hendrick Lonck wins the combat and the Spider Riders break and get caught (6" vs 7")

Turn 3 - The Waaagh
-------------------
 

Animosity struck the greenskins again.
This time the Spear Horde needed to charge the closest enemy, being the Captasus.
Also the center Archer unit needed to do this.
Hendrick Lonck elected to stay to see if these short legged green stuff would make such a long charge. And they did! sending 2 fanatics out half way.
One of those fanatics hit Hendrick doing 2 wounds! But the goblins took 2 dead due to dangerous terrain (the wall) on the charge (Later we found out that obstacles doesn't apply to infantry to take a test)

The Archers charged in on the Demigryphs being their closest enemy.

The Trolls this time not being Stupid charged into the flank of the ICK.

The Giant charged the Achers3 who fled, and he redirects into the Militia.

The Big 'Uns charge the other Archer detachment who also flees but get caught by the Orcs (Dangerous Terrain kills 2 Orcs (Big rocks))

The 3 rampant fanatics move around with 1 hitting the DGK but it saves it's wound.

The smaller Spear unit fails to rally and runs off the board. The bigger unit does manage to rally and turns to face the ICK, releasing their fanatic towards them, but it fails to reach them.





Winds of Magic where good this time for the Greenskins. 9PD vs 7DD.
Gork will fix it was cast with IF on the ICK, the resuting miscast did nothing to the lone shaman
We then dispelled the Bad Moon Vortex.

The goblin archers on the left fired at the Great Cannon and killed one of it's crew.
The bows from the chariot pitched in but failed.

The 2 ICK kill 1 troll! (Flaming Banner, Horse did 1 wound and both knights wounded). The Trolls making their normal attacks failed to bypass the armour saves. (I gave a tip after the battle to use the vomit attacks on high AS models next time)
The Trolls made their breaktest. The ICK then reform to face the Trolls.

The Demigryphs kill 9 Goblins and the Knights killed another 5, the Goblins Flee but are caught and the Demigryphs slam into the Squigherd.

Giant Swings his club at the militia and kills 1, the militia does 1 wound on the Giant. Thunderstomp kills another 3. The Militia holds the Line on the reroll.

Hendrick Lonck kills 3 goblins before he decides to make a run for it. He flee's 10" but finds out that it wouldn't be enough after the Goblin horde fails to restrain and flies of the battle field!
The goblins loose another 3 by passing through the Fanatic and 2 more due to the terrain.

Turn 4 - Empire, 2nd Intervention Army of Altdorf
-------------------------------------------------
 

The Swordsmen detachment now charges the Big 'Uns.
The Archers rally.

Winds of Magic gave 7PD vs 4DD
Comet got cast, marking a spot near the left archers.
Harmonic Convergence cast on the Militia.
Hammer by Arch Lector Willem II van der Marck IF cast.

HVG missing good targets takes out the closest Fanatic.
Great Cannon shoots at the Chariot but fails to wound it. (rolled a 1)





ICK put 2 wounds on the Trolls, the Trolls then failed their breaktest and flee 7". Pursued of 4" bringing the ICK into the flank of the Spear unit, but with wheeling clipping the Fanatic taking 2 casualties!

DGK kill 4 Squigs after the reroll they saty in the combat.

The Giant swings his club again thumping 1 Militiamen into the ground. The Militia then land 3 wounds on the Giant and it topples over backwards. A loud cheer is heard all over the battlefield.

The Orcwarboss kills 1 swordsmen, the swordsmen kill 4 Big 'Uns and the Big 'Uns kill 2 more swordsmen. The Orcs stay around for another round of combat.

Turn 4 - The Waaagh
-------------------
 

No Animosity this turn.
Trolls keep running.
One Fanatic kills the lone Goblin Shaman (talk about bad luck!)
Another whirls itself off the table and the others aren't doing any harm.
Chariot wheels around to get a flank charge next turn on the ICK.
Reform made by the goblin horde to face the Halberdiers (swift failed)




No magic this turn.

Archers kill another of the Great Cannon crew.

Goblins are feared by the Shrieking Blade wielded by the Warrior Priest.
The Knights then kill 10 goblins while the goblins manage to kill 1 knight.
The Goblins break and flee 3" followed by the Knights 10" which made them flank the Goblin Archers.

The Demigryphs take 1 wound for killing 1 Squig in the herd.

The Orc Warboss misses his attacks, the swordsmen kill 4 Big 'Uns they flee 6" followed by the swordsmen 6" which made them flank the goblin horde.
(passing terrain tests).

Turn 5 - Empire, 2nd Intervention Army of Altdorf
-------------------------------------------------
 

Halberdiers charge the goblin horde, loosing 5 Halberdiers due to the terrain.
Hurricanum and FCM move up followed by the archers.





Winds of Magic gave some good power (forgot to note down how much)
But the Comet comes down, killing 8 Goblin Archers, 4 ICK (leaving the WP and Champion) and destroying the chariot.
Urranos Thunder dispelled on the fanatic
Hammer and Shield both cast by the Arch Lector.
Harmonic Convergence on the DGK.

(hard to see) 5 of the 10 archers fail to hit the fanatic infront of the DGK. but the HBVG does kill the one on the left.
Great Cannon with no other targets shoots at the Goblin Spears next to the forest, but over shoots and hits Skarsnik.
It does the maximum of wounds on it and he i knocked out of the battle!

ICK Champion and the WP kill 3 goblins who flee 2" and the ICK unit pursues them 12" and goes off the table.

DGK kill 3 goblin handlers, the 2 left over squigs go rampage doing 2 wounds on the DGK killing 1
killing 6 Goblin Spears  who flee 10" in Panic, BSB gets 3 wounds and the Fanatic dies. So does 3 Militia and 2 Halberdiers.

Willem Corneliszoon van Duyvenbode BSB kills 1 goblin, Arch Lector Willem II van der Marck kills 1 more.
But the Halberdiers go berserk on the goblins! The Swordsmen then kill the last 5! Goblin horde totally wiped out!

Turn 5 - The Waaagh
-------------------
 

Trolls and Goblins rally. Trolls go stupid (does this happen after rally?) and move 5" forward.
Both fanatics go into nomandsland.





The last goblins look around them and see they are alone with a few stupid trolls and they run off  leaving victory for The Empire!
(Looking at the cleared table we call it)

General Johan van den Kornput smiled knowing that this was his first success with the new system, but he kept weary as he also knew that this army was surprised and scattered and not led by a good tactician as Skarsnik was. He needed to prove himself soon again!

After thoughts:
It was a come back into the game battle for Harold, he had to pick up a lot of the mechanics again and adjusting them for 8th ed.
He also made some crucial tactical errors which made me hop combats a lot and he didn't have much luck aswell.. And not using the Vomit Attack by his Trolls cost him that battle probably.

For myself, I played good and aggressive with my Knights and DGK but lacked a bit in that with my infantry and still need to get the hang of redirecting better.

Next up: 3k against Cisse's Skaven.

https://wargamingbysks.wordpress.com/2015/10/04/the-parley-of-blades-sigmars-blood-battle-2/

Knights of the Blazing Sun
8 Knights with FC

--at this point I stopped taking notes, so from memory---

Skeletons and von Carstein charged in on the Handgunners and the With Hunter


Ghouls and dire wolves engaged the flaggelants which defiantly hold them off dishing out lots of damage


Swordsmen kill 10 zombies (last note)


The handgunners with the Witch Hunter were valliant but to no avail and were wiped out when the Vargheist also started to join the fight even though one of the Vargheist fell (last wound to be done)


In the center though the swordsmen held bravely and trained with their shield they withstood almost all of the attacks done. Volkmar even decided to lend a hand.


The cannon and crew were shortly after the handgunners fell cleaned up by the Vargheists, while the skeletons and von Carstein joined the fight with the swordsmen.

Meanwhile Kaslain aided the Flaggelants and together they managed to wipe out all of the dire wolves and ghouls, only to be found by the Vargheists and they soon met their end but not without taking another one of the Vargheists down.

The swordsmen still didn't wat to budge managed to finish off the zombies and some more skeletons, but the weight from von Carstein and the the Corpsecart finally took their toll on them.
Ending turn 6 with only Volkmar left on the table versus a few skeleton warriors, corpsecart, 1 Vargoyle (Vargheist leader) and von Carstein

Scenario ending:
Kaslain will start next battle with 1 less wound
Kordon will start next battle with another wound less
and the Time Tracker now on The Thinning (all Empire now at -1Ld -> -1 Bravery)

All in all a good battle and the minor adjustments needed to match the rulings for AoS worked fine, though it felt if the Empire were a bit underpowered versus the Vampires, not sure how it would have been with 8th ed rules.
Volkmar and the War Altar are pure support stuff.. their battle powers in combat where really lacking I felt.

Very nice battle report! 

Your armies were both very well painted as well.

Shame to hear your loss but it's the truth of things that our valiant state troops have a hard time holding the line against the forces of darkness. A Luminark may help along with more firepower to whittle down the enemy's ranks.

Though greatswords and warrior priests with shields may give a better edge in melee.

Good luck in your next bout. Glory to the Empire and Sigmar!

Problem is we are doing these scenario's with the given lists, so no tweaking
Battle 3 will be a Light Wizard with a Luminark and 20 militia vs Coventhrone, hexwraiths and a banshee

And next time I'll take pictures with the setting on 14M instead of 1M pixels

Time for battle number 3 in our Sigmar's Blood Campaign, again tried to get them into AoS rules

Battle 3 is a side venture in the campaign.
Side note: Sorry for bad pictures, but was still half in macro mode as I set it up and I couldn't get it back normally it seems.

It's the white Wizards of Templehof led by Jovi Sunscryer needed a bigger and higher up lens to send his message to the college in Altdorf.
Arriving at the observatory they encounter the Guardians of the Necropolis.

Armies:
Jovi Sunscryer - Light Wizard carrying the Talisman of Preservation (4+ ward save, kept this as is)

The Templehof Luminark a Luminark of Hysh (subbed in my Hurricanum), as the campaig added a spell (Shem's Burning Gaze) we gave it Arcane Bolt.

Stirland's Revenge
20 Militia led by Bernhardt of the Goat

versus

Whispering Nell
Tomb Banshee with the Ghostly Howl range halved (10 to 5") ad adding 2 (I think it was) to the dice rolls comparing it to the bravery.

Vhostus of the Black Scythe
Cairn Wraith

Where do I get the 9th Age rules, and is there a way to quickly get updates? I assume you have to download the updates manually?

I think I remember hearing about this before, but I don't recall exactly when; is the site pretty self-explanatory? So I just need to come back every so often for updated files?
