So I battled the owner of my local GW recently and am glad to say that I was kicking butt! It was a 2000 point battle against his Tzeentch army and considering I had many more units left on the table at the end, I think its fair to say I won! The new rules for things like supporting attacks and stomp make Warhammer so much more fun for Ogre players. Also, if it weren't for the new magic system, I would have been wiped out! He had a sorceror lord, and two other wizards (both lvl 1 I believe). Not to mention they all had the Mark of Tzeentch so against 7th edition and my only 4 dispel dice, I would have been annihilated. He was completely unlucky with the Winds of Magic and I was the exact opposite. I miscasted at one point and rolled a 6 (making my Butcher frenzied) but he had some thing that let him choose another result on the roll of a d3. All in all I must say I haven't had this much fun playing Warhammer ever!
