So yesterday my army took to the field to beat up some pesky and stubborn dwarves.
The dwarves took first turn and advanced towards the High elves. Their shooting was mostly ineffective.
The Elf archers return fire was deadly killing 6! of the stunty crossbowmen. while the rest of the army advanced upon the enemy.
The Ellyrian Reavers moved around the dwarven flank.
As the two armies confront each other. The elven mage tries to cast assault of stone. But the tricky dwarf Runesmith not only dispels it he destroys the spell. And he also dispels the mages doomfire ring.
The dwarf artillery returns fire once again but only manage to kill a single crewman of the bolt thrower.
But again the elves shooting proves superior as they kill two more crossbowmen and force the remaining two to flee.
With a mighty (but well diciplined) roar the high elves charge. The spearmen engange the massive slayer unit together with the Reavers, who charge the flank. While the Silverhelms take on the Ironbreakers.
After a few turns of combat the last remaining Silverhelm is forced to flee. And the Spearmen and Reavers chop away at the Slayers.
The Swordmasters move into a blocking position to stop the Iron breakers from charging the spearmen in the flank. It is a forlorn hope mission. They are doomed to be cut down by the unstoppable Ironbreakers
But their noble sacrifice alows the spearmen to finish off the slayers and move away to capture a table quarter and free the reavers to go hunt the artilley and claim another tablequarter.
The Ironbreakers have built themselves into an unstoppable frenzy by taking out the last remaining Silverhelm, the last Swordmasters and now they charge the elven archers and even manage to catch the as they try to flee!
But It was all in vain. As the High elves held more tablequarters and had killed a lot of dwarves the victory goes to the Elven army.
Ohh and somewhere along all this the dwarven organ gun blew itself up..
It was a blast to play a game of Warhammer for the first time in 25 years - at least. We are definitely going to be doing that again.
