Well, Treasure Hunt was next. Set up started good for the empire. Managed to get to 2 hoards right off the batt. Needed 6 's to find the artifact but that's just like the lottery. Had my handgunners spread out behind on a hill with my greatswords and spearmen on the right and my priest and flaggies on my left. The orks got to 3 if he hoards right off and proceeded to find 1 each turn. The boars first so they got to stamp ahead to say hello to my greatswords. The measly gobbos found theirs the next turn and four of them went to hit the flaggies. The orc war boss left one guy behind to search but the rest headed for the priest. One gobbo skewered a flaggellant and for that triggered their 3 attacks. Their flails bashed in 2 of them but that was it. The boss stopped to discuss matters with the flaggellants and that degraded into 4 of them pulped. My last flaggies nailed an orc across the gob and dropped him only to be put down by his other 2 mates. My frantic search for the artefacts turned up nothing (could be because they were fighting to keep breathing).
My spearmen survived the boar charges but were chewed up with no return wounds but the greatswords took out one boat and another wound on another with their extra attacks due to the hero in range. Gunners dropped one boat but this fight was over.
That left my priest and the boss. Swinging his hammer like I play golf netted no results but the boss corked him for 4 wounds. 3 attacks, 3+, 3+ to wound d3 damage hurts. That's all I can say. Turn 5 was over so they waved goodbye and left that fight for another day.
Two battles have ended like that now so it's starting to become a thing. Orcs won a major victory with 3 artefacts found so it's 10 renown for them and 6 for empire.
On to the next. I have to say these are fast and bloody and fit my schedule perfectly. Still don't have the small scale tactics sorted but the game is alot of fun. Going to name my boss shivertooth and the ice hogs - same as bloodbowl - and it's the name my son came up with when he was 12 lol. Havnt come up with a name for the unbreakable priest yet.
