A battle of Ogres vs Dwarves (2000pts)

original thread ↗

At the gaming club, I had to face the new dwarves. Organ gun, Anvil of doom, with crazy engineers on all kind of wacky stuff. I devided the table in half and he got first turn. It wasn't that great but still affect some of my ogres. He eventually dispelled many of my spells in play on turn 2-3-4. On turn five, he gave up. One of my gorgers was still sniffing out the blood underground as he never made up. So the ogres had a feast and roasted all the dwarves.  GRRRRRRRR

I dedicate this battle for the ogre stronghold members. May this grant you long ogre life.

Here's my army list:

Tyrant: wyrdstone, tenderiser, fistful of laurels, luck gnoblar.

Butcher 1: Dispell, Bangstick.

Butcher 2: Skullmantle, Siegebreaker.

Hunter: 2 sabertusks, longstrider.

x2 Gorgers

Scrapluncher

x3 Leadbelchers: musician.

x4 Ironguts: banner, musician.

x3 Bulls: clubs.

x6 Bulls: clubs, banner, champion (Tyrant & Butcher 2 in the unit).

x23 Gnoblars

Dispell 4
Casting 6

My new painted butcher was able to prepare the meals with the new flesh!

I love your butcher, but wheres the rest of the Battle report? Please!!!!
Yeag I should,

Turn1: Dwarves used the anvil of doom nominated d3 of my units and 3 of them had half the movement for that turn. He used his canon vs my scrapluncher but he rolled a 1 so the scrapluncher lived to see a round.
The ogres did their movement and the scrapluncher shot on 2 units. 15 shots on one and 8 shots on the other. That made a unit panic.

Turn2: The anvil caused 8 wounds on my bulls and I had no saves so that hurted because he killed some of the ogre's drinken buddies. With his cannon, he destryoed my scrapluncher.
One of the gorgers came in and was preparing to face the anvil for the next turn. The gnoblar stood there debating and argued on what they should do.

Turn3: The dwaves used the anvil again but causing only 2 wounds on my bulls. The organgun blew up. One of his unit prevented the gorger from charging the anvil but he remained in play after getting 2 wounds. He nominated d3 of his units to charge in mine but the ogres remained strong after a long battle. The hunter and sabertusks charged the cannon crew and destroyed them all. My ironguts charged the flank of his iron breakers and the leadbelchers charge in front. The 3 impact hit was a soft touch because I rolled 3 1's !!! After bashing them, they ran and the leadbelcher had thepleasure to start hacking the meat as they pursued. The tyrant like always was ripping everyone appart.
Turn4: The Tyrant and unit broke the dwarves and over ran and charge into a fresh unit of these short legged long beards.
Turn5: He abbanded the fact that he can save the dwarves because the ogres were everywhere.

wow, good job!
May I add, my army was not made up to play against the dwarf army. We don't know who we are playing against since it's randomized. One of my friends play's bretonnian's and she will start woodelves. Other people have lizardmen, empire, darkelves, vampire count, tomb kings, orcs and dwarves of course. So we can't really make our army against another army.
