Solo Castle Battle

Post by Zahru » Sun Sep 07, 2008 12:38 pm

Hey there,

I had this battle, on this saturday. The warring sides were a small imperial strike team, and an evil horde of skellies, orks and a huge spider, armed with 4 explosive projectiles.
Image

Of course the objective was for both sides to wipe the other on out.
Image
Image

The armies marched forward, and the crownie hero joins the spearmen.
Image

The Imperial marksmen made the first kills, by shooting down 3 skellies.
Image

Another 3 skellies made an attempt to kill some spearmen... They failed, and even worse, the spearmen finished them off in a counterattack.
Image

The remaining skeletons charged bloothristily into the marksmen squad, killing 2 marksmen in a rather brutal way.
Image

The spider's rider fires one of the explosives... killing 3 spearmen.
Image

The remaining spearmen and the hero charged one of the ork squads, slaughtering them (the hero even bashes on of the orks head).
Image

A quick Overwatch:
Image

The spider-rider fires on the heavy axemen squad... the explosion doesn't kills any of them, but brokes off the squad.
Image

The spearmen kills 2 orks:
Image

While the rest of the marksmen fire on of the spider's explosives which explodes and kills the rider!
Image

The spider with it's flaming butt flees from tthe field:
Image

An ork manages to decacipate a spearman...
Image

... his action is rewarded by being shot down by the marksmen.
Image

The hero brings in the final blow, and slays the last ork.
Image

The Empire is victorious!
Image

Hope you liked it better than the deathmatch...

This was a very well done battle report. It's also the first time I've really seen squad combat in action where it's more than like... 4 guys a squad! You have my approval.

the ONE thing i would have done differently though, was have the spider rampage into the field killing everything in it's wake instead of fleeing, but that's just me talking.

Nope. The spider is from a creator set 4994 (Minus the orks and rockets of course).

When I first saw this box, I knew that this creep was meant for BW.

This was just the infantry part of it, but in total it's about 40 or more figs+ siege weaponry and stuff.

I think he meant money wise...

Anyways, dude, this is ossum. I should probably organize my own solo battle myself...once I get some real armies to work with. Nice job man, hope to see some more creative battles.

In cash? Well... my 2 armies had already cost at least 20,000 Forints. This is about 117 USD... And I'm still expanding my "evil" castle army, and I'm looking forward to build up a third army from the '09 pirate lines soldiers; a smaller, napoleonic-like one.

For that, look Zahru's Imperial Army topic.

Edit: I've just realized that what I wrote was wrong. That number is not actual, and since I haven't counted it again, actually I dunno the cp costs. Sorry.
