Okay here goes...
Dave's Empire and my Ogre Kingdom.
Game 1 vs. Matt and Craig. Slaaneshi Chaos and Slaaneshi Chaos. (I think)
Round one-Dave starts shooting his 4 warmachines and 60,000 handgunners and we
see a bit of blood. A lucky canon shot takes 5 wounds off the shaggoth in round
2 I think and then the game really begins. there is some back and forth for the
next few rounds and I remember finally to roll for the Gorger to come in to do a
little scaring. I discovered this game that 8 little gnoblar trappers with sharp
stuff can actually decimate a 6 strong unit of mounted daemonettes. It came as a
shock to me too! Butcher's miscast table sucks hard! Round 2? and he pops like a
schoolgirl chewin gum. Hmm...worth it or not?
Oh well...a win. Our only for the day.
Game 2 vs. Dwayne and Brian? (sorry dude, can't remember crap) VC & VC
Sylvanian. Ugly to look at and strangely fun to play against. Dwayne with his 3
thrall and Brian(?) with his 3 necros mad for lots of skellies along with the 2
grave markers. Things are gonna run together here so bear with me. In round 1
Dwayne burns a book while casting and curses it for the rest of the game.
(tee-hee!) Again Dave shoots like a maniac and I wait for them to cross the
board while my Butcher does like zero spells thanks to their 50 gagillion
dispell dice. :) Magic Flux gives us a few and them a few but never too many
during the game. A little not here...I have never seen anyone roll so many damn
irresistable force spells before. 4 in the game 2 in one round alone! Aaaarrgh!
Finally we get a little hand to hand action and it's pretty predictable with the
Ogres finally gettin to kick some butt...uh...bone? Brian(?)'s necro boy craters
and we start seeing some crumbling goin around for the next two
rounds. Gotta say that not taking any magic weapons hurt me versus his dang
Banshee. Yuck! Gotta give Dwayne props for saving the bound item till the last
of his magic phase after I had depleted my dispell dice. Awesome game and my
personal fave of the tourney.
This game was a draw. Our only of the day.
Game 3 vs. Travis and Royce. Goblin and Khorne. Hmm...I new going in this would
be ugly. The two though almost diametricaly opposed to each other (Khorne and a
magic dripping Greenskin mab) kicked our asses. With Travis deadly accurate (as
freaking always) guessing with rocklobber and doom diver combined with poor
positioning on my part cost us dearly. The ogres whiffed against Travis' ranked
gobbos and were run down like the meat they were. Ug. Royce seemed to spend much
of the game maneuvering his Khorne chariot things and never saw much action with
them while his puppies spent most of the game dukin it out with dave's
swordsmen. Not much else to say.
This game was a loss. Our only of the day.
Overall...Great fun and great games all around. Highs and lows throughout and a
finer bunch of gentlemen (ahem) I've never met...Thank you all and you too Jeff
for giving us the time of day. Your work is appreciated.
