Forgottonlor vs. Barney. 2k Tomb Kings vs the Goblin Horde

Ok, I'm back from the wedding. When I wrote my last post, I had forgotten that I lent out my orc and goblin book to a friend and I won't get it back for at least 10 days. I did on the other hand pick up my new Tomb Kings book and would be interested in giving the army a go. 2k again? Or did you want to try something else?

2k new TK is fine with me. Though I still haven´t figured out a race to play

No problem. I don't have time to even start an army list till Tuesday. I came up with this as our map:



I think we should treat all terrain as normal to avoid forgetting special rules later, which both of us tend to do. I realized as I made this map that we completely forgot the special rule for the crater in our last game. That means 2 normal hills, 2 normal buildings, 2 ordinary walls, a forest and a water hole, which can be treated as an ordinary river. Is that ok with you?

yup, fine with me As you pointed out, we tend to completely forget anything too special

great looking map, btw.

Well, I didn't have enough points to try out everything I wanted so I decided for a classic defensive list:

High Liche Priest, Lvl 3, Lore of Nehekara, Hierophant, Grounding Staff. 200.
High Liche Priest, Lvl 3. Lore of Nehekara, Dispel Scroll. 200.
Tomb Prince. Talisman of Preservation, Great weapon. 149 points.
Necrotek, Luck Bringer Shield, Obsidian Amulet 85.
Tomb Herald, Army Standard, Light armour, Banner of the Eternal Flame, Halberd, 99.
   
Characters 738.

45 Skeletons, Full command. 250.
23 Skeleton archers. 138
5 Horse archers 70
5 Horse archers 70
8 Usabti, Great weapon, Full command. 430
Casket of Souls. 135
Necrolith Colossus, Bow of the Desert, 190.


1999.

Hope I didn´t mess up with the templates

Ok, sounds good to me. Rolling to deploy:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

1


 

reroll:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

5


 

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

seems like I´ll be deploying first...As soon as I get to my home computer

sorry for the long wait (again). I´ll try to be more prompt with my replies, I promise



First Wolf Chariot
http://uploading.com/files/7a73d655/BarneyDeployment.xml/

Over to you

http://uploading.com/files/9211d72c/BarneyDeployment.xml/



My Necrolith Collosus (Artist Formerly known as Bone Giant) with portable bolt thrower.

boy, that does sound scary...


http://uploading.com/files/82e51397/BarneyDeployment.xml/

second chariot

http://uploading.com/files/9deacb1c/BarneyDeployment.xml/


We'll see. He's switched a 3+ save and T5 for a 5+ save and T6, he looses a wound and costs a bunch less, and by taking the bolt thrower he loses an attack and costs 15 more.

Here are my archers as well currently ranked up in 2 lines of 8 and 1 of 7.

still sounds scary to me...


anyways, my first chukka:


http://uploading.com/files/af5ad3d1/BarneyDeployment.xml/

http://uploading.com/files/d4617fef/BarneyDeployment.xml/

Lots of skeletons.

the uploading server seems to be down for the moment, I´ll get back to you later.

http://uploading.com/files/b8155eb2/BarneyDeployment.xml/

my sencond chukka

http://uploading.com/files/c1mm31c2/BarneyDeployment.xml/

Casket. Sorry about the wait. I was at my brother in law's this weekend.

no problem


http://uploading.com/files/8me5f49d/BarneyDeployment.xml/

http://uploading.com/files/c57583dd/BarneyDeployment.xml/


Usabti.

http://uploading.com/files/fc8ff967/BarneyDeployment.xml/

Night Goblin block

http://uploading.com/files/5ff79bac/BarneyDeployment_Deployment.jpg/



My characters:
The prince, herald, and hierophant join the skeletons with hand weapon & shield. The prince, herald and command are the front rank, therefore the hierophant can hide behind them, at least so long as they are alive.

The Necrotek joins the Usabti, and because of his base size is on the unit's outside.

The other high priest joins the archers.

I have 2 units of light horsemen, they deploy as scouts when you are finished with you deployment.

You uploaded the jpeg file, mate

Please reuoload the BCH file.

I´m leaving for the weekend, so no rush there
Have a nice weekend

Sorry about that. I hope you have a great weekend.

http://uploading.com/files/9af4dafd/BarneyDeployment.xml/

Since I've got a bit of time now, I'll roll out my spells. The Hierophant first.

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

3 + 5 + 6 = 14


 

Which means the other high priest has 1, 2 & 4.

I guess I'll pass on the movement spell and keep everything I rolled out.

yes, I had a good time, thanks

The TK now roll out their spells...my my, so many new things I haven´t even had a look at the new book, so you´ll have to be patient with me, as I don´t know what they can and cannot do right now...


http://uploading.com/files/ef73eaaa/BarneyDeployment.xml/

my deployment is done, The General is the black one, along with BSB in the spearman unit, the Great Shaman and other boss is is the right unit and the OHW boss in the left one. Little shaman is on his own, on the hill near the Chukka.

First turn roll:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

Little shaman:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

5 + 1 = 6

The hand of Gork and The Gaze of Mork. I´ll keep both.

The Great Shaman:

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

6 + 4 + 1 + 2 = 13

Gaze Again, Brain Bursta, Foot of Gork and Mork Wants ya. I´ll keep everything.

Your turn to roll out the first turn

The horsebowmen are placed (scouting)


And make their vanguard move.


Which means they can't declare an attack during my first turn.

Rolling for initiative. You get the +1 due to my scouts:

Do you want me to send you a pm with my magic now, or should I tell you what I am casting on my magic phase?

okay, animosities from left to right:

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

1 + 1 + 6 + 4 = 12

 

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

1

stupidity test for the trolls:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

1 + 3 = 4

passed.

the map:


http://uploading.com/files/76m3ddd5/Barney1.xml/

the magic:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

4 + 5 = 9

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

2 + 5 = 7

9 dice to goof around with.

My GS will go for Mork Wants ya! on the Colossus:

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

2 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 8

riiight...with the +4, it´s cast on a 12. Dispel?

Channeling:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

6 + 4 = 10

Ok, I'll go with 3 dice from my high priest:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6 +3" :

6 + 6 + 5 + 3 = 20

Its dispelled, leaving me with 3 more dice.

I´ll go with Brain Bursta on the archers then:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6 +4" :

2 + 1 + 5 + 4 = 12

cast on a twelve. Dispel?

I'll let that go and hope you don't kill too many.

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

3 + 3 = 6

I wish my hopes would come as true as yours do

Result of the throw of dice "6d6" :

3 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 22

5 dead skeletons

I´ll use the rest of my dice to cast foot of Gork on the NC:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6 +4" :

1 + 1 + 4 = 6

Umm...yeah.

Shooting phase:
DD on the horsemen H2 in front of him: 5+ is hit, 1-4 scatter

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

6

hit.

now to see if it doesn´t misfire, 6 is a misfire:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

5

phew

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

1

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

6

one dead horseman.
the left chukka on the H2:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

1

miss

the right chukka on NC:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

2

SUMMARY:
5 dead archers, one dead horseman from H2.

YOur turn to trash my Warmachines

5 dead archers is decidedly above average, Barney.
Also since I scouted and made the vanguard move I can't charge just yet, so your war machines have one more chance. Note: My BSB swapped positions with my high priest.



My magic simplified:
My spells:1. unit gain killing blow.
               2. unit gets a 5+ ward
               3. unit gets +1a in close combat or can shoot again.
If I buff any of my units with these spells they regain 1d3+1 life, except the constructs gain 1. This does not effect characters.
               4. hex. -1d3 move all terrain(even open) become dangerous.
               5. hex -1 s, -1 t
              6. vortex, s4 small template.
The casket has bound: 1 target 3d6 ld test, take wounds for every point failed. On a 3+ hit another enemy unit within 6"So magic dice:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

2 + 5 = 7

Chanelling:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

2 + 4 = 6

The casket also generates 1d3 dice:

Result of the throw of dice "1d3" :

3

So 10 dice for me.

I'll try giving the trolls -1 S, -1T with 3 dice:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6 +3" :

2 + 2 + 5 + 3 = 12

It succeeds. Dispel?

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

4 + 2 = 6

that probably doesn´t count, right?

that hex will end in your next magic phase, or is it a RiP?

It ends on my next magic phase. I'll try the 5+ ward save on the archers, which also would raise 1d3+1

Result of the throw of dice "3d6 +4" :

5 + 1 + 3 + 4 = 13

Also good. Dispel?

nope, no dispel to both spells.

Its the same spell . The 1d3+1 raised is the lore power.

Result of the throw of dice "1d3 +1" :

1 + 1 = 2

2 archers return and the unit gains a 5+ ward till my next magic phase.

For my last trick I will also try to smite the archers so they can shoot in the magic phase, since its a buff the lore attribute (1d3+1 revived) would also effect them:

Result of the throw of dice "4d6 +3" :

1 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 3 = 16

Dispel?

I know it was the same spell, I was referring to the first overal cast spell in that statement

I´m saving the dice for the casket.

I've got no more dice for the casket. That's my last spell, so you might as well roll whatever dispel dice you've got left.

Result of the throw of dice "5d6" :

1 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 = 13

with the +4, it´s 17, so dispelled.

Go on and sorry it took me so long, I was out of country for a few days.

No problem. My archers shoot at the trolls. The BSB has the banner of the eternal flame so no regeneration, I
now have 15 archers in ranks 1 & 2, and 5 in the last rank, so 17 shots, 5+ to hit with volley fire:

Result of the throw of dice "17d6" :

6 + 1 + 6 + 6 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 2 = 52

Only 5+ to hit. 4+ to wound because of dessecation:

Result of the throw of dice "5d6" :

4 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 6 = 17

3 wounds so 1 troll dies. My collosus fires at the closes chariot, 5+ to hit:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

6


 

to wound:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

3


 

wounds:

Result of the throw of dice "1d3" :

2


 

Shooting summary:
1 troll dies, left chariot taks 2 wounds.

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

3 + 5 + 1 + 4 = 13

Troll stupidity:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

4 + 4 = 8

no charges


http://uploading.com/files/95713fm7/Barney1.xml/
almost no movement as well

magic:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

4 + 1 = 5

mork wants ya on NC:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6 +4" :

3 + 6 + 3 + 4 = 16

cast on a 16.

Wow, my collossus has an I of 1, so I don't think he'll pass that check.

I'll throw all of my dice at that:

Result of the throw of dice "4d6 +4" :

2 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 4 = 16

Just barely dispelled. I've got no dice left, but I do still have my scroll, if worse comes to worse.

damnit  

okay, two dice left, so I´ll try brain bursta on the collosus again:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6 +4" :

1 + 6 + 4 = 11

cast on 11.

Ok, I'll let that go and hope you don't roll too many 6s

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

3 + 1 = 4

why do I even bother?

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

2 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 12

yeah, I won´t...


okay, shooting time:
DD on the HA in front of him:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

2

scatter(clockface):

Result of the throw of dice "1d12" :

3

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

1

that goes right into the HA on the right. I´ll adjust the flight by the D3, even tjough I think I don´t need to.

Result of the throw of dice "1d3" :

1

okay, so I hit the right HA.

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

3

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

4 + 1 + 1 = 6

I seriously think I´m gonna stop playing this stupid dice based game. Only one dies.


Left chukka, the same HA:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

4

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

4

one more dead archer.

Right chukka on NC:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

2

of course.

SUMMARY: two dead HA on the right, your turn to trash the WM.

Ok HA 1 attacks the doom diver, HA2 attacks the left bolt thrower. You must hold. Correct? The crews will need fear checks I think, though. I'll get started on my turn.

The Ushabti try a swift reform:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

4 + 5 = 9

Just made it on the prince's leadership.

The BSB and high priest swap positions again.



Magic dice:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

6 + 2 = 8


 

Channeling

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

3 + 6 = 9

Casket dice:

Result of the throw of dice "1d3" :

1

10 dice total for me.

My hierophant will try dessication on the wounded chariot

Result of the throw of dice "3d6 +4" :

1 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 9

Ugh, that fails.   Very well, the high priest still can cast. He tries to give all of my units within 12" of him a 5+ ward save until the beginning of my next magic phase. It needs an 18

Result of the throw of dice "5d6 +3" :

2 + 2 + 6 + 5 + 2 + 3 = 20

That leaves me 2 dice. Dispel?

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

6 + 2 = 8

7 dice for me.

You seriously think I would succeed in dispelling that number with my rolls?
 Nope, no dispel.

Also, fear tests:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

3 + 1 = 4

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

2 + 1 = 3

wohoo, some of the braves goblins around!

I get 1d6 archers back:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

2

Ok, my last 2 dice go into the casket then:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

3 + 2 = 5

I don't think you'll have trouble with that.

18 shots from the archers on the wounded chariot:

Result of the throw of dice "18d6" :

5 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 5 = 56

woohoo, 4 hits!

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

1 + 4 + 3 + 4 = 12


 

Nope. The Collosus fires at it too:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

3

Also a big fat miss.

4 horse archers and mounts attack the doom diver:

Result of the throw of dice "8d6" :

5 + 2 + 6 + 5 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 4 = 36

Result of the throw of dice "5d6" :

1 + 4 + 6 + 5 + 1 = 17


 

3 wounds. Should there be a bully, he still lives and can attack back.

3 horse archers with mounts on the bolt thrower:

Result of the throw of dice "6d6" :

3 + 2 + 5 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 22


 

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

4 + 1 + 5 + 2 = 12


 

2 wounds there.


Summary: The casket gets off with a 5 and needs to be dispelled.
                 My shooting phase is a big zero.
                 The horse archers do 3 wounds to the doom diver crew.
                 The other horse archers do 2 wounds to the bolt thrower.
                 Your crewmen attack simultaneously, so they can all strike back.

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

5 + 1 + 4 = 10

dispelled the casket

DD crew:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

1 + 5 + 3 = 9

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

3

nope.

No bully on the DD, so they´re gone.

The chukka has three goblins and a bully, so here go the goblins:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

2 + 4 + 3 = 9

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

4

one wound.

the bully:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

6

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

6

another wound.

SUMMARY:
DD is no more
The chukka crew inflicts tow wounds on the attacking archers (one normal, one -1 save). I think if you fail both, the archers will be wiped out and my chukka still alive, is that right? (I shot two in my shooting phase and two now, you didn´t raise any back, as you cast only the 5+ ward spell and the casket....)

No ward save, so a 6+ save on the last archer.

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

1

Yep there were only 3 horse archers, so the last one dies in crumble.


That ends my turn. Here is the download.
http://uploading.com/files/9d97d8ba/Barney1.xml/

first of all, sorry for my slow responses, but my schedule is really changing these weeks and I don´t get to a Computer with battle chronicler as often as I used to, so sorry about that

Animosities:

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

2 + 4 + 5 + 5 = 16

nothing.
Stupidity test:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

5 + 3 = 8

mork wants ya agian, on the NC:

Result of the throw of dice "4d6 +4" :

3 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 4 = 18

dispel?

Channeling:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

2 + 5 = 7

Nothing. All 5 dice at that:

Result of the throw of dice "5d6 +4" :

6 + 4 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 22

Dispelled. I've got no dice left, but still have my scroll.

brain bursta on the NC again:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6 +4" :

4 + 1 + 3 + 4 = 12

it is cast, and I doubt you´ll dispel, so I´ll roll it out. In case you decide to dispel it, we will scrap the rolls, okay?

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

5 + 4 = 9

Result of the throw of dice "9d6" :

2 + 5 + 2 + 5 + 6 + 5 + 3 + 6 + 1 = 35

if the collosus is T6, 2 wounds, if  T5 wounds.

Anyways, that concludes my magic phase.

On to shooting:
the right chukka at the NC:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

6

wow, a hit.

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

4

and a wound!

Result of the throw of dice "1d3" :

2

make that 2 wounds.

The left chukka cannot see anything, so no shooting there.

SUMMARY:
if you dispel the Brain bursta, then the NC takes two wounds with -3 AS from the chukka. If you don´t dispel, it takes two more  wounds with -1 AS (or 5 more, depending on its toughness)

The Collosus is T6, W5. I wouldn't have dispelled your spell, but luckily I still have the incantation of warding up, so I've got a 5+ save. Also I get armour saves vs Brain Bursta.

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

1 + 5 = 6

nope. wards vs. Brain bursta

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

2 + 5 = 7


 

1 taken.

and vs. the bolt thrower

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

3

Crap. 3 wounds taken.

The left chuka can see the horsemen. They destroyed the doom diver.

oh, right. I forgot.

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

3

ookay, let´s stay with the version they cannot see anything

And Wohoo, three wounds!

YOur turn

Charges Skeletons attack the trolls and NW2.
              Ushabti attack NW2 and the squigs.
              The collosus attacks NS.
              Horse archers attack the left bolt thrower


Reactions?

all hold

I was only home shortly yesterday and could not get the file to upload, so its taken me till now. Sorry.

I need to roll out the attack distances:

Ushabti:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6 +5" :

6 + 4 + 5 = 15

Skeletons:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6 +4" :

4 + 6 + 4 = 14

Collosus:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6 +6" :

6 + 4 + 6 = 16

All get through. That makes up for the poor ward saves.




Magic dice:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

1 + 3 = 4

casket:

Result of the throw of dice "1d3" :

1

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

2 + 1 = 3


 

Channeling.

Well 5 dice for me.


I'll try 3 on dessication for the trolls (-1s, -1t)

Result of the throw of dice "3d6 +3" :

5 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 18

Dispel?

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

3 + 4 = 7

Actually, this whole time I´ve been forgetting my Staff of Sneaky Stealin´, so I have one more extra dice... I don´t see my chances to dispel an 18 with four dice, but I´ll try anyways.

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

3 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 9

ha ha ha ha ha...ha

proceed.

Ughh! That means I only have 1 dice left! How sneaky.

I'll try to use the casket on the left chariot, I need a 5 on 1 dice though:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

6

If you can't dispel it will need a leadership check on 3d6.

I'll wait to see what happens before shooting.

damnit, I knew this looked too easy

Anyways, here is the LD check:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

6 + 5 + 2 = 13

Somehow, I get a hunch this is not good for me...

Well, that's one dead chariot. On a 3+ it bounces to the next chariot:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

1

nope. Ok the archers try to plug the other chariot:

Result of the throw of dice "15d6" :

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 = 68

Wow

Result of the throw of dice "9d6" :

3 + 6 + 6 + 5 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 33

4 normal saves for the chariot.

In close combat, my banner bearer strikes before the trolls:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

6 + 5 + 1 = 12

3+ to wound, as they have been dessicated:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

3 + 3 = 6


 

2 wounds and they're fire attacks, so no regeneration.

5 skeletons including the champ also attack the trolls. 3+ to hit since they get to use the prince's ws:

Result of the throw of dice "6d6" :

5 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 25

and 4+ to wound due to dessication

Result of the throw of dice "6d6" :

2 + 6 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 1 = 25


 

so a total of 6 wounds on the trolls, no saves.



Elsewhere. I have 3 skeletons who can attack NW1

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

6 + 6 + 3 = 15

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

2 + 3 + 5 = 10

1 wound there.

My prince also issues a challenge.

Summary
the left chariot is destroyed by light of death.
The right chariot needs 4 normal saves from the archers.
The skeletons and BSB did 6 wounds (flaming attacks) to the dessicated trolls, so no saves.
The night goblin unit NW 1 also takes 1 wound from the skeletons.
The prince issues a challenge.
All my other units have either great weapons or I1, so they strike last.

okay,  4 saves:

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

1 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 8

yeah, riiight...

one 6+ shield save for the goblin, then followed by a parry:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

6

wow.  waht a wasted 6

Okay, on to the return blows:
4 trolls first:

Result of the throw of dice "12d6" :

1 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 3 = 30

AAARGH!!!

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

1 + 5 + 3 + 1 = 10

that´s still two wounds.
stomp attacks:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

4 + 6 + 6 = 16

that is three more wounds to the skellies.

My goblin Hero accepts the challenge.
10 goblins striking back:

Result of the throw of dice "10d6" :

2 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 3 + 6 = 36

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

2 + 6 + 4 + 4 = 16

three normal wounds to save.

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

3 + 3 = 6

three goblins:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

5 + 5 + 4 = 14

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

4 + 2 + 5 = 11

USHABTI COMBAT:
10 squigs, 20 attacks:

Result of the throw of dice "20d6" :

5 + 2 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 4 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 4 = 68

Result of the throw of dice "10d6" :

1 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 4 = 27

only four wounds. bloody dice.

SUMMARY:

the second chariot is also dead

The trolls do 5 wounds at -1 to the skeletons.
The NG do three more normal save wounds to the skellies and take none back.
My hero accepts the princes challenge

The NC is at -1 strenght, takes 1 wound at -2 AS, must reroll ward save.

the squigs do 4 wounds at -2 AS tot he ushabti.

Parry for the skeletons:

Result of the throw of dice "5d6" :

5 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 4 = 19

nope.

and the 3 from the goblins:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

5 + 5 + 6 = 16


 

1 made, so 7 skeletons die.


The Ushabti get a 6+ regeneration roll from the Necrotec

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

2 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 11

1 made, but still one dies. The Necrotec also gives the unit hatred.

6 Usabti attack the squigs

Result of the throw of dice "18d6" :

5 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 1 + 6 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 6 + 5 = 69

2 saves -3 for the gobbos.

Necrotec

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

Prince:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

3 + 4 + 6 = 13

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

6 + 6 + 4 = 16


 

3 saves -3.

Collosus 4 attacks:

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

1 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 16

to wound

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

6 + 4 + 1 = 11

2 wounds (initially)


Summary:
The Ushabti (with hated from the necrotec) do 15 wounds (12 -3 saves, 3 -1 saves) to the squigs. (The Ushabti suffer 3 wounds)
The Ushabti and Necrotec do 3 wounds (2 saves -1,1 save -3) to the night goblins.
7 skeletons die.
The prince does 3 wounds to the goblin hero(-3 save). Has your goblin hero attacked? The prince has a greatsword, so he strikes last.
The collosus initially does 2 wounds (-2 save) to the goblins, these are with unstoppabe assault, for every unsaved wound he gets an additional attack. He has yet to stomp.

okay, I think the aquigs get sqisched heaviliy.

Three 6+ parry saves for the goblins:

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

4 + 1 + 6 = 11

okay, so two more dead goblins.

My hero didn´t strike yet, but he will be striking before the Prince. He has the One hit Wounda, which makes him S 10

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

1 + 4 + 1 = 6

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

3

one wound, and now ard save allowed.
My hero is then slain.

You forgot to roll the wound for collossus (1 wound at -2 save and must reroll successfull  ward saves)

Other than that, I am quite lost in the combat resolutions and am in a hurry, so I´ll get to counting the Combat resolution later today.

The collosus has no more ward save, and at S5, no armour save either. My prince gets a 4+ ward:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

2


 

Nope. The night goblins fighting the collosus still need to make their 2 parry saves, to see wheter the collosus gets additional attacks.

right, sorry.

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

2 + 4 = 6

no luck

ok 2 more attacks:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

4 + 5 = 9

to damage:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

5 + 3 = 8


 

2 more saves, then we continue. . .

In the big fight, I think the tomb kings win big time. The skeleton unit and night goblins have the same number of ranks ( I count 38 gobbos, & 38 skeletons+3 characters) so I don't think there is any steadfast.

The Gobbos & Trolls did 11 wounds I count,
I believe the tomb kings did 23, and they have the Bsb, so I think they win by 12.

damnit, you´re right, I somehow forgot those combats are tied together with the Ushabti combat.

snake eyes for me, from left to right:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

2 + 5 = 7

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

5 + 2 = 7

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

1 + 5 = 6

not even close.

fleeing, from left to right:
sqigs don´t flee, the "Wild Squigs " ruile applies, all units in 2D6" take D6 S5 hits:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

6 + 4 = 10

well, that´s Ushabti, Skellies, and two my units.

Ushabti:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

6

Result of the throw of dice "5d6" :

3 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 5 = 20

Wohoo! 6 wounds at -2 AS for them.

Skellies:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

4

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

3 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 15

4 wounds -2 AS.

My goblins:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

2

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

6 + 3 = 9

both down.

The trolls:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

3

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

2 + 1 + 3 = 6

only oone wound, regen:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

6

saved.
The unit is removed, no fleeing applies.

The gobbos flee:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

3 + 4 = 7

The trolls:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

6 + 2 = 8

Two NC parry saves:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

3 + 4 = 7

SUMMARY:
The WIld Squigs rule does 6 wounds at -2 AS to your Ushabti and 4 wounds at -2 to the Skellies.
Goblins flee 7"
Trolls flee 8"
You get two more attacks for the collosus.

The Ushabti get 6+ regeneration saves from the Necrotec. The skeletons get no save

Result of the throw of dice "6d6" :

4 + 3 + 2 + 6 + 6 + 5 = 26

Another Ushabti falls, and one loses 1 life.

The Ushabti pursue the goblins

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

5 + 6 = 11


 

The Skeleton pursue the trolls:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

1 + 5 = 6

The goblins are slain, the trolls escape.

2 more attacks for the collosus:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

6 + 1 = 7

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

2


 

1 more parry save.


I also forgot about the horse archers vs. the bolt thrower:

Result of the throw of dice "6d6" :

4 + 4 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 3 = 21

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

5 + 1 + 4 = 10


 

Summary
Skeletons and Ushabti take 4 wounds each.
The Collosus does 1 more wound (1 more parry save)
The horse archers do 2 wounds to the bolt thrower crew, everyone gets to attack back (all attacks are simultaneous)

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

1

pfft. Another attack for your giant.

I think I have two gobbos and a bully left:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

1 + 4 = 5

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

1

the bully

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

1

I think the chukka goes bye-bye

The chukka gets a break tests at -2 then. If they make it they stick around.

The giant gets another attack:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

6

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

4

Ok to speed things up, I'll roll again:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

3

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

1

And the stomp

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

1

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

3

Ok, 1 wound there as well.

So the collosus does a total of 6 or 7 wounds, depending on your last save. He takes 1 wound, and the goblins have 3 ranks and a banner, so they probably lose by 1 or 2, but are steadfast. Correct?

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

3

no save.

Actually, I have a BSB in that unit as well, so I only lost by one:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

4 + 3 = 7

just enough.

The chukka crew:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

4 + 5 = 9

no way

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

2 + 4 = 6

Ok, then the round is finally over!

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

2 + 4 = 6

http://uploading.com/files/1mbc1b59/BarneyDeployment.xml/

on to magic:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

5 + 5 = 10

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

5 + 2 = 7

Too bad I have little to no useful spells to cast this round.
Checked, no castable spells.

Shooting:
my chukka will try to nail your Ushabtis flank

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

6

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

2

jsut enough to hurt him.

Result of the throw of dice "1d3" :

1

only one wound to the Ushabti.
Does the bolt go over to another even i it didn´t slay the first ushabti?

5 die.

4 attack the general:

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

5 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 16


 

2 hits:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

5 + 6 = 11

1 killing blow on him, one normal damage.

6 normal attacks on the gobbos:

Result of the throw of dice "6d6" :

6 + 4 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 3 = 25


 

Result of the throw of dice "4d6" :

4 + 2 + 5 + 1 = 12

2 normal saves for the gobbos.
1 normal save and one killing blow on the general.

two saves for them gobbos:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

1 + 3 = 4

parry saves:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

6 + 2 = 8

one lives.

General:
4+ AS vs. the non killing blow:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

1

4+ ward against the non killing blow:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

2

damn.

4+ ward against the kiiling blow:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

4

PHEW!

Okay, that makes it 5 wounds, three ranks, charge and banner vs your two wounds.

You lose 8 more skeletons, right?

So much for my high hopes. That ends my turn. Over to you.

okay, animosity for the only unit eliglible to it:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

2

fine.rallying trolls:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

1 + 5 = 6

no way.

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

2 + 3 = 5

I think that´s out of the map.

Anyway, I don´t have the chronicler here, and I don= t think I can make any moves anyway, so only one charge- against the CoS:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6 +4" :

3 + 2 + 4 = 9

that´s short again. I hate the rolls.

Okay, magic then:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

1 + 3 = 4

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

1 + 1 = 2

okay, 4 dice for me:

all 4 to foot of gork on the ushabti:

Result of the throw of dice "4d6 +4" :

6 + 5 + 6 + 4 + 4 = 25

great, IF and a miscast.
wounds:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

2

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

1 + 5 = 6

great. one wound.
my miscast:

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" :

1 + 2 = 3

great. 5 gobbos take a S10 hit:

Result of the throw of dice "5d6" :

3 + 1 + 4 + 6 + 6 = 20

okay, so 4 gobbos and a GS die, one wound for your ushabti. What a tradeoff

Shooting? chukka into the ushabti flank:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

3

miss, again. Boy those gobbos are blind...


CC:
general:

Result of the throw of dice "5d6" :

1 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 4 = 12

Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

5 + 3 + 3 = 11

3 dead skellies.
10 gobbos:

Result of the throw of dice "10d6" :

3 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 3 + 6 + 3 + 6 + 4 = 40

Result of the throw of dice "5d6" :

5 + 3 + 5 + 2 + 4 = 19

three more wounds.

SUMARRY:
the Trolls are off the map
failed charge vs. the CoS
my GSs head goes Poof!
one S6 wound to the Ushabti
6 wounds vs. the skellies, whoch probably makes the unit disappear.

The skeletons disintigrate. The Ushabti gets a 6+regeneration roll:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

1

Nope. If that ends your turn, I'm not sure there is much point in playing my turn 6. I'll probably fail charges with the Ushabti and skeletons, and even if I did I'm not sure it will change the outcome much. In any case, I've learned what I wanted to from my list. So thanks for another great game. If you're up for a game in a few weeks after the ogre book comes out, we could play a list to try out some of the new units. If you're too busy, I understand.

Hey there, I agree. Great game as always, a pleasure

Anyways, as I have said earlier, I´m already in Germany, my new work and living place for some time, and since I don´t have an appartement of my own for now, I have only sparingly the opportunity to access Internet, so there is not much point to play till I get a regular connection, which can take several weeks, or months(I hope not, but you can never be too sure )

WIth that said, I´ll get to you as soon as my connection options get to an appropriate level. Tommorow is the first day at new work, wish me luck, I´m gonna need it!


Till then, stay safe

You too, Barney. Good luck and best wishes for your new living situation and job. It's been a real pleasure playing with you over the years, and I hope we can give it another go sometime down the road.
