Skull Mountain: Turn 2

Post by Zahru II » Fri May 28, 2010 6:14 am

First of all, apologies for my unability to use flash properly. My camera hates me.

Mais, observons-nous la deuxiéme tournée de la guerre!
(what an adorable language, ain't it?)

Malekim's Horde (Warhead):

Image
The remnants of the riders switched weapons more suitable for close combat, yet failed to do harm.

Image
The Glommox moved towards the newcomers, and greeted them with a direct hit in the middle.

Image
The blast killed a savageman and a dungan.

Image
The other glommox slowly moved on and fired into the cavalry, but failed to do any serious damage.

Image
The cultists sneaked near the transport, and threw some poison bombs. One of them failed the skillcheck, so it went kaboom in his hands. However, none of them was strong enough to do any harm.

Image
A squad of skellies marched up to halt ork advancements.

Image
The other one advanced as well.

Image
The gargoyles attacked the arrowboys, one of them succesfully killing one.

Image
The Infernus, jolly ol' fellow he is, ran to greet the runeknights...

Image
...with his fiery sulfurish breath.

Image
It was too tense for two of them, who died. Niol was injured, losing a hitpoint.

Image
Finally, Malekim moved on, but he was still too far to use his ruinous powers against the enemy, so he raised two fallen riders.

United Imperial Army (Bragallot):

Image
The infantry began to move towards the orks. The swordsmen pulled off an extremely nice sprint bonus (one of them achieving +13 inches! now that's speedy!). The ballista, broken though, was steered to face at the greenskins.

Image
Amphyre would try to do a feat to slow the greenskins but failed.

Image
The clerics miraculously resurrected the runeknights.

Image
The knights switched to cc weapons and attacked the riders.

Image
Only their officer survived.

Image
The runeknights swapped weapons as well. The skeletons were too far from Niol, who'd try to dispel their fortified state, so he simply attacked the infernus with his fellow knights.

Image
They scored a hit! The Infernus lost a hit point.

Image
After that, the cavalry withdrew, preparing for another charge. Their foes got a free counterattack, but didn't achieve anything.

Kensai's Warband (Theblackdog):

Image
The awesomeosaur marched upwards, the crew on top with the aid of the arrowboy on the transport, slayed a gargoyle.

Image
The transport moved backwards...

Image
Then tried to ram into the skeletons, but ran out of movement. One skellie bailed, afraid of the hatch...

Image
Which opened, and orks swarmed out of it. With the aid of the other squad, they began to decimate the skeletons, killing 4.

Image
The death knight tried to animate, but failed. 3 orks died in the counterattack.

Image
One troll began to march towards the gargoyle, the other tried to make himself useful, by aligning the launcher.

Image
Another pair of bolts were fired, this time it targeted the titan. It scored a hit; the titan lost a hitpoint, and his armor was ruined, making his leg a weaker spot.

Image
Kensai improved his orks, by giving them bonus movement as a feat.

Image
The spearboys ran towards the war machine. Their champion was knocked out by the ballista (he's not dead, just unable to do stuff till next turn).

Image
The spearboys killed the crew, and hijacked the machine...

Image
...then they attacked the titan point blank, who lost another hit point.

Image
The dwarves, seeing this, quickly blasted the hijacker to bits.

The Direwood Brigade (gamey353):

Image
The savagemen quickly showed what they're capable of by hacking of the Infernus's leg. It lost a hitpoint and is immobilized.

Image
Flint and Arthel moved on, and Flint headshot the last unholy rider.

Image
Mugg, Sigmund, the beastmen and dungan simply advanced.

So that was turn 2, here's an Overwatch picture, how things are now:

Image

I await your pms for turn3, in the same style as before!

Well I got Imperially Screwed there. Fuck sake, the two Knights I put down got back up. I think I killed three guys for an exchange rate of 8 with a raise the dead fail, a Cultist poison bomb fail and a Glommox fail and that's after I went first! Good to see my luck is running true to form. Even the Orks are dishing out better slappings.

Well, nothing else for it. Ok, which one of you bitches wants to dance?!. Come a fuckin' head! :twisted:

Oops, I kinda got my crew killed in a pretty stupid way.

Trying the 'I'll make it look like I'm giving in to the misfortune so I can whack the enemy twice as hard with the master plan I'm working on' tactic , Warhead? ; ) I gotta agree with you, but it's still early and before the end we'll all have had our fair share of fails and round of utter catastrophe... Arkbrik's first pirate battle taught me to keep wary till the end :')

edit: I nearly forgot, Nice shot Direwood brigade!

Absolutely, but it's been my life long tabletop AND Limited forum battle experience that often my dice roles are fairly sucky lol. :lol: If only I could use my own dice that I sacrifice virgins to. Nah, if my tactics are sound then the dice will average out.

Yeah, that was a good shot Direwoods. Grr! :D
