Prince Albrecht - lawmaster

Image

The last crossbowman fires at Gurak, and scores a hit! (-1hp) Meanwhile the battle cleric augments the swordsmen with +3 dmg.

Image

Despite that, swordsmen only slay one orkboy.

Image

Prince Albrecht: 'I dare you to challenge me clanlord!'
Gurak: 'I would, but I'm not interested in little whelps yet.'

Such is the failure of dueling feat.

Jean-Francois - Bragallot

Image

Crossbowmen snipe an orkboy down, while the battle cleric fails to bless the swordsmen squad. To add insult to injury, swordsmen fail to accomplish anything either.

Image

Support units retreat after such shameful display, while JF moves in and fires.

Image

Gurak: 'Oi!'

JF successfully disarms Gurak who drops the orky banner.

Image

After that, he kills a crossbow ork.

Gurak's Horde - Scratch

Image

Warmachines advance, but they remain out of range.

Image

Crossbow orks fire at the last crossbowman and battle cleric of lawmaster. They manage to kill the latter.

Image

Orkboys attack and kill a swordsman.

Image

Gurak handles over the orky banner to an orkboy.

Gurak: 'Hold this and you shall be invincible!'
Orkboy: 'Aight, I'll keep a better grip on it than ye did boss!'

Yet another failed feat of inspiring.

Image

The two ork units rake in two more kills and reduce swordsmen down to their officer.

Image

Gurak: 'As for you, young whelp...'

Falx - Zupponn

Image

Falx advance with a bit of magical boost from Isabella.

Image

The thunderous roar of rifles notify the clashing armies of Imperial and Ork that a new foe had entered the fray. It also kills two orks.

Image

Heroes look puzzled as they gaze upon the black tide of the Falx.

Overview and kills:

Image

Bragallot - 8
Scratch - 11
lawmaster - 4
Zupponn - 2

Not to force rules on anybody that don't match the style of their game, but I just want to throw out the reminder - speeches and posturing aren't good Action Hero Feats, so the rules got changed so that any Hero who attempts a non-Actiony type of inspiration Feat and fails, stops being a Hero automatically. See the bottom of 6.3: Heroic Feats.

Gurak will stop being a hero soon anyways.

I always thought of Gurak of having the "charismatic war-leader" cliche, so inspiration feats aren't that out of his reach.

Maybe, but charismatic war leaders aren't action heroes. I need to write up some separate rules for Leader type units, either under the Officer rules or some kind of offshoot.

That's a good point. Almost every army of mine has a general or leader type figure but they are pretty boring with out some kind of special ability.
