Weekend Update

All right so I got to play two games vs Wong this week. The first was vs Dark Elves and the second vs the green tide of the orcs. The first list added a unit of Sword Masters at the expense of a chariot and a unit of spearmen more or less. Game was going decent, until the turn after I destroyed Wong's middle. Everyone around the table (Jon and Hoj) were ready to claim massacre for the High Elves, but unfortunatly the Dark Elves had other ideas. I knew it was nowhere near over as I saw all the charges that were about to occur. Also, some more anti magic was added to this list. The dispel scroll that makes the wizard forget the spell on a 4 up was very useful, but the MVP magic item was deff the crystal ball. It takes one dice from my opponents cast pool and adds it to my dispel pool. Nothing wrong with a two dice turn around in my favor. My fears came true in this game as the chariots went racing across the board along with his leaders unit causing pain everywhere. Not a single High Elf stood at the end of the game as Wong had about 400 pts worth of models left on the board.

Result : Loss

The second game went better for me. The focused fire of my 4 Bolt Throwers made it so his leaders unit had about 7 guys left by the time it was close to combat. In this game the spearmen made a strategic retreat allowing the White lions to charge the unit on the flank. That unit then fled and I was able to run into his lowly leaders unit of 7 men. Killing two units in one round of combat was very nice. There were still some issues on the board as the giant was looming around with about three wounds on it from bolt thrower fire. The sword master had to prove their worth having already killed a unit of black orcs took on the giant with some success. Mainly they were able to kill it but 9 died when the giant toppeled ontop of them. Victory was close. A unit of orcs then charged my white lions along with a chariot. They held strong on the first round of combat taking out the chariot. the next turn some bad rolling led to them running, but it was fine as the swordmasters were ready to charge and end the game. The result of this was that I really like the Swordmasters and that the chariot may be on its way out. T4 is just not good enough to justify the chariot in this. Im not sure what I will do with the points at this time but we shall see.

Result: Win

Overall Record: 3-1-1
Vs Wong : 2-1-1
Vs Hoj : 1-0
Vs Orcs : 2-0-1
Vs Dark Elves : 0-1-0
Vs Ogre Kingdoms : 1-0-0

I also painted an archer tonight to get a general idea on color scheme. I am happy how it came out, but i dont have flesh or ink so he is not finished.
