Pizzaro D'Oros - Alex

Image

The berserkers take down another Irongut Warrior (btw Silva, grudge points are still a mechanic, you now have 3 to spend), then they bail as the cannonsaur charges into them. The crossbow orks also attacked but did no damage.

Image

The cannonsaur fails to kill any dwarf, but still knocks them away. The troll cannoneer fires at the dwarf warmachine but barely scratches it.

Image

Pizzaro engages Blaze, and deals 1 damage.

Image

Blaze attempts a counterattack but Pizarro uses his lightning reflexes to yoink the weapon out of the dwarf's hand!
'Such fine craftsmanship is a waste in the hands of mongrels like you.'

Lady Isabella - Brikguy0410

Image

Black orks attack von Brag, who loses 1 hitpoint.

Image

The orkboys kill 2 dazed löwengard.

Image

Isabella and the crossbow orks all fire at the siege engine's engine.

Image

The device ruptures and explodes in a four inch radius, killing imperial and ork alike; 11 units in total.

Lord Barthelomeo - Bragallot

Image

The Falx infantry storms down on the imperial cavalry, killing both runeknights and a regular knight.

Image

The cavalry regroups behind the crack; riflemen fire at Apollyon but fail to damage him.

Image

Barthelomeo pummels the ground once again; this time it's so powerful, a chunk of rock ricochets out towards the imperials.

Image

It flattens one swordsman and knocks over another one.

Blaze Ironbreaker

Image

Crossbowmen pin down 3 black orks.

Image

The crimsonbeards aid the swordsmen and kill 2 orkboys in the process.

Image

'Nobody...'

Image

'...touches...'

Image

'... MY AXE!'

The angered Blaze knocks away Pizarro, who loses a hitpoint.

Image

The warmachine tries to attack... but malfunctions. The crewmen repair it but they can only attempt to attack again next turn.

Ferdinand von Bragstein - Silent-sigfig

Image

The surviving löwengard rush to the ork catapult and break it, much to the crew ork's dismay.

Image

His grief is short-lived however, since he gets gunned down by von Brag, who got lucky with his sprint roll.

Apollyon - Coriolanus

Image

Swordsmen and knights take down 2 Falx troopers.

Image

Apollyon rushes after the cavalry.

Image

Even though he loses 1 action while trudging through the weakened soil, he still manages to bash down a dreadknight.

Image

Swordsmen and crossbowmen attempt to do damage but neither of the succeeds.

Overview and kills:

Image

Silent-sigfig - 3
Brikguy0410 - 14
Silverdream - 7
Bragallot - 5
Coriolanus - 5
Alex - 6

Send orders for turn 4!

This looks like it is going to be a desaster for the Imperials.

I'm afraid I have to agree with you, but "we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall defend our empire, whatever the cost may be. We will fight on the red carpet, we will fight on the green felt, we will fight on the green baseplates, (if Zahru ever buys them) we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we will never surrender."

I knew a giant war machine wouldve been a better creation than a rocket-powered battering ram.

The battering ram may have been helpful in destroying the portal, had it advanced that far, but it's simply not suited to fight against infantry.

Nah it was to flatten the orcs so it had an easier way of taking out their catapult.

Falx - 15
Imperials - 25

If there's anything I've learned from my battles with Warhead though, it's that the crazy randomness that is Brikwars means it ain't over till it's over.

If you're clever enough, a single heroic feat can turn the tide of any battle.

And if you're unlucky enough, it'll turn the battle against you :troll:

It is an art to come up with feats that help you when successful but won't kill you outright when they fail... I think fantasy battles are especially difficult because there is less "stuff" to interact with for heros.

Which is why I always choost the faction with war machines.
