[HH] The Battle of the West Emnet Plains - Turn 3

Post by Joshua » Wed Oct 27, 2021 11:24 pm

This round really favored the armies of men.

Bull Knights - SirZaphod

Image
The Bull Knights charge straight at the Black Knight's shield wall, and miraculously, no one dies! All attacks are either parried or armor holds out.

Black Knights - NPC

Image
First, the heavy cavalry retreats, with the one free counter failing to do harm.

Image
The cavalry ends up back with the rest of the army.

Image
This rider-less horse continues forward, and after rolling a very lucky momentum roll, knocks this Undead knight a full 15" back!

Image
He lands on the beige carpet.

Image
The horse continues forward, going past the Undead's left flank.

Image
A spearman successfully stabs a Bull and scores a kill.

Image
These soldiers move up, ready to protect the cavalry.

Image
This swordsman attacks the orc, but fails to kill him.

Image
The halberdier with the red plume climbs up on the ruins while the knights line up behind the rest of the halberdiers.

Also, two archers tried to fire at Briktorth, but either missed or failed to hurt him.

Undead - SirZaphod

Image
This knight sprints back onto the battlefield.

Image
This necromancer tries unsuccessfully to raise the fallen Uruk-hai.

Image
This one succeeds!

Image
A skeleton is risen to fight once more.

Image
The Undead charges at the Black Knights! First the left flank...

Image
These skeletons fail at killing any of their opponents,

Image
But after taking down a skeleton, a swordsman gets stabbed in the eye.

Image
Killing him.

Image
The Troll and Orks move up, with the Troll attacking Sir John Lannister, who was ready and blocks with ease. His counterattack is also blocked.

Image
The rest of the Undead army moves up. A crossbow is fired, but is blocked by the spearman's heavy shield.

Sir Marcus Duhanden and his Troops - Scribonius

Image
Andrew, Grigory, and Fritz form a quasi-shield wall while Sir Marcus winds up to hit another boulder.

Image
'smack!'

Image
The boulder lands right on target, but the Uruk-hai and Orc all bailed out of the way in time.

Image
It rolls forward a bit before resting next to it's brother.


Sir John Lannister - NPC

Image
He winds back to prepare for a big swing.

Image
But it left him wide open to counters! The Troll smacks him square in the face!

Image
Sir John loses his helm and an HP.

Easterlings - Gorvoslov

Image
Not wanting to attack into the meat grinder, the Easterling ground forces vault onto the Oliphant's tusk and up into the ruins.

Image
They attack the red plumed halberdier and Muradin, without much success.

Image

Muradin: "Oh! So ya thought you could just sneak up behind me, did ya?"

Image

Muradin: "Take that, ya flea-bitten mongrel!"

Image
Briktorth decides to join the party.

Image
He attacks Muradin, taking off an HP.

Image
The Oliphant charges straight at the halberdiers with a loud roar!

Image
The halberdiers immediately attack, chipping off an HP. 4 remain.

Image
The Oliphant swings it's head and smashes it's barbed tusks into the Black Knights. First the guy on the ruins,

Image
And then the rest of the line. But the halberdiers are tough, and just get disrupted. The Easterling archers also fire at the halberdiers, but fail to find a chink in their armor.

Image
However, this was the exact opportunity the crossbowmen were waiting for. They fire a devastating volley straight at the Oliphant, taking of a whopping 2HP!

Wilhelm von Bragallot - Bragallot

Image
In a predictable move, von Brag grabs The Big One™.

Image
He repositions his launcher before lighting the rocket!

Image
'swooosh'

Image
VA-BOOOM!!!

Image
Another pic, same explosion.

Image
With a ridiculous damage roll and a 6" radius, the explosion blows a huge chunk out of the Undead ranks. And also creates a nice fire hazard.

Image
Both black skeletons, the front armored skeleton and the necromancer are obliterated, with the other Elite Skeletons knocked back and disrupted. The Grim Reaper's horse is wounded as well.

Image
This necromancer died, as well as some rock chunks.

Image
Both spear bois are annihilated, and the Ork officer loses a HP.

Image
This skeleton is also caught in the blast.

Sir Darius Wolfshelm - NPC

Image
Sir Darius gallops forward some more, reaching the Black Knight's heavy cavalry.


Uruk-hai and Orcs - Infinity

Image
The three ranged Uruk-hai and Orcs fire at Andrew, Grigory and Fritz, but only one arrow connects and doesn't inflict enough damage. The disrupted Uruk-hai get up.

Image
These two also rise, and the Orc throws his axe into the knight's face, ending him.

Image
The first pike-wielding Orc fails to hit...

Image
But the second doesn't.

Image
They then advance, staying just out of close-combat range.

Muradin Doomforge - NPC

Image
Muradin starts spinning around, becoming a whirring tornado of death. He kills an Easterling as well as wounding Briktorth, who is on his last HP!

Image
He then backs up a hair and grins at his handiwork.

Muradin: "Aye! That's how ya do it!"

Lillian Windstrider - Mr. President

Image
Lillian misses a shot at Briktorth, but her second one doesn't miss.

Image
It hits the Oliphant driver squarely in the gut.

Image
He promptly drops to the ground, dead.

Image
He also dropped the frog, who is now back on the ground.

Image
An archer hurriedly grabs the reins and is now the new driver.

A less than ideal turn.

Indeed. I was not expecting that rocket to be as destructive as it was. If I remember correctly, it did a total of 40ish damage in the first 2"!
