Ogres (Ipphli) vs. Khemri (Bouldergut)

This will be the thread for our battle. Would you prefer Battle Chronicler or Paint? My vote is for Battle Chronicler, but if you don't have it/like it, we can use Paint. Should one of us just set up a map, or would you like to roll for terrain and placing it?

Hi there!

I don't currently have Battle Chronicler since I haven't posted on these forums in over a year. However, I am more than willing to get it. We can use that!

As for a map, I'm open to whatever really. If you feel up to making a map I'm sure it will be good.

Its been tough for me to post today but tomorrow and after will be much easier for me. I'll be sure to put up my army list tonight at least; 1000 pts.

DLing Battle Chronicler.

Meanwhile, this is the list I will be using for our game;

1 Liche Priest "Ramaphet the Ancient"
lvl 2 wizard - Lore of Nehekara
Heirophant
Cloak of the Dunes

= 155pts


2x 20 Skeleton Archers "The Seekers"
- bows
- hand weapons
- no command

= 240pts


1x 25 Skeleton Warriors "They Who Stand For Eternity"
- shields
- hand weapons
- no command

= 100pts


2x 3 Sepulchural Stalkers "Ramaphet's Praetorians"

= 330pts


1 Heirotitan "Thoth-Ammon the Chronicler"

= 175pts



LIST POINT TOTAL: 1000pts.

Alright my army list:

1 Bruiser "Gorg 'eadsmasher"
Cathayan Longsword
Heavy Armor
Enchanted Shield
Wyrdstone Necklace

6 Bulls "The Bronze Boys"
Standard bearer, Bellower
Ironfists, Light Armor

6 Ironguts "Gorg's Bronzeguts"
Bellower, Standard Bearer
Rune Maw

20 Gnoblar Fighters "The Bait"
Groinbiter

Scraplauncher "The Bait's wagon"

I thought this looked like a decent map; some cover, some open spaces. Good?

Good map by me!

Btw...I'm loving the names you gave the Gnoblars. Had a jolly laugh at that!

I'll make us a dice log if you want. Is Hamete ok? or do you prefer something else?

After we get a dice log up we can roll for first deployment.

Hamete is fine. Feel free to set it up.

PM me your email and I'll invite you the log.

I have created the dice log for us and sent you an invite at the email address you provided. The die server will be Hamete.

I've made my roll to decide deployment edge. Awaiting yours

I assume we're just doing a battleline?

I'm certainly more than willing to entertain the idea of a scenario if you would prefer. I have no objection to this at all. I just assumed we were playing a straight battleline.

Would you prefer a scenario?

Battleline is perfectly fine. Its actually what my friends and I usually play.

Nice!

Its what we usually use as well

Ill go ahead and deploy my first unit then...(ill be using Paint if you don't mind as I had a minor issue with the DL of Battle Chronicler)....

20 skeleton archers
-bows
-hand weapons
-no command

....i have no idea why its saving like this...

20 Gnoblar Fighters
-Groinbiter

20 skeleton archers
-bows
-hand weapons
-no command

Scraplauncher

25 skeleton warriors
-hand weapons
-shields
-no command

6 Bulls
 Standard Bearer, Bellower
 Light Armor, Ironfists

Heirotitan

6 Ironguts
 Standard Bearer, Bellower
 Runemaw

Liche Priest
(Heirophant)

My remaining units (2 units of 3: Sepulchural Stalkers) are "Entombed Beneath the Sands".
This concludes my deployment.

Also...

For some reason the map has cut off the top 1". LOL
Not sure why this happened by it sheered off the second rank of my arhcers on the hill.

My Bruiser deploys with the Ironguts

And that was my mistake. Fixed now. Roll to see who goes first?

[5] 11-05-23 03:28:48 CEST - ammurphy@bsu.edu

my roll to see who goes first

1d6
4

Got a 4

I forgot to roll for my Liche Priests spells...

2d6
1 + 4 = 5

that is;
Djaf's Incantation of Cursed Blades
Usirian's Incantation of Vengence

I have a few things to take care of this afternoon but when I'm done I'll take my turn and we can start this

considering the range between us (and that I have a mostly defensive force) I probably won't be doing much.

We tied for who goes first, so don't you need to reroll? Since you got a +1 for finishing Deployment first.

my apologies. you are correct.

I rerolled and got a 2 (with my +1 that makes 3, so we were tied again).

I rerolled yet again and got a 1 (with my +1 that makes 2).

Feel free to take your second reroll. If you beat get a 3+ you'll also have first turn so feel free to take that as well.

Best of luck!

Feel free to take the first turn matey.

Best of luck to you!

Sorry about that. Got called into work before I could take my turn. Best of turn to you as well. In the spirit of sportsmanship, might I remind you that Djaf's Incantation of Cursed Blades will only help you against my gnoblars, as monstrous infantry are immune to killing blow; you may wish to take the signature instead.

Movement phase

Everything moves up.

Shooting phase
Scraplauncher fires, targetting the Liche Priest. It scatters 2 inches to the NE away from the priest. Still hits the priest. Rolled a six to wound.So save or die.

Have no save. roll for wounds sir

Thats probably gg btw. If the Hierophant dies my army will likely die

correction...if the Heirophant dies my army WILL die (not "likely").

So if you roll 2+ its game over lol

Actually, its an automatic hit,the 6 was to wound, which means KB. I hate for that to be game. I'll target the skeleton warriors then. So with that scatter it'll hit 15 of them. 8 wounds.

Oh I'll fight it out no problem. I just know that without my Heirophant, and the resulting crumbling that will take place, its probably going to be a pretty quick and nasty win but by all means its ok

It goes to train me where NOT to put my Heirophant next time haha

So Heirophant dead...any other shots? other moves? other special rules?

Nope, after shooting phase is my close combat, of which I have none. Although I did forget Bicker on the gnoblars...which passed. Your turn.

Remember that, even though your Priest can't deploy with a unit, if he's within 3 inches of a unit with at least 5 rank and file of the same type, he gets a 4+ "Look out sir!" roll.

you are correct that the Liche Priest is T3. But I also found out he has Regen 6+.

Its a long shot, though.

In any case, if he dies I have to make crumble rolls immediately and then again at the start of my turn. You could well be looking at "gg" whether or not I want to play this out haha. One sec I'll get the rolls up

I failed the Regen roll for the Heirophant so I had to make immediate crumble rolls. I'll have to do it again at the start of my turn as well. Hamete is giving me the hardest time rolling multiple 2d6's so I'll have to do each unit individually.

The left-most unit of archers:

2d6
5 + 3 = 8

Thats a fail. They suffer 3 wounds.

The right unit of archers:

2d6
4 + 3 = 7

Another fail. They suffer 2 wounds.

Skeleton warriors:

2d6
4 + 5 = 9

Fail. They take 4 wounds.

Heirotitan:

2d6
2 + 1 = 3

He passes. Takes no wounds.

The Sepulchural Stalkers do not need to take a test because they are not on the battlefield yet.

Start of my turn crumble rolls...

left-unit of archers:

2d6
5 + 1 = 6

Fail. Take 1 wound.

right archer unit:

2d6
1 + 4 = 5

Pass. No wounds.

Skeleton warriors:

2d6
4 + 5 = 9

Fail. 4 more wounds.

Heirotitan:

2d6
2 + 1 = 3

Passed. No wounds.


Phew...I'll update the map now and take my turn

(KB prevent Regen apparently so I didnt have a need of rolling that to begin with LOL).
Updated the map. My turn. No units will move.

Magic phase.

2d6
3 + 1 = 4

I get 4 power dice.
You get 3 dispel dice.
I have no wizards to channel with. Does not seem like you do either.

The Hierotitan will use his Icon of Ptra (Shem's Burning Gaze) on the unit of Bulls.
They are within range (24")
Casting at Power Level 3. I will use 4 die:

4d6
4 + 5 + 6 + 6 = 21

Irresistible Force.

Rolling for number of hits;

1d6
6

6 hits.

rolling to wound at S4 vs T4:

6d6
3 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 3 = 18

*sigh* tonight is simply not my night.
1 wound on the bulls....
The Icon of Ptra crumbles to dust due to Irresistible Force.

I hope my shooting does something worth my time, but I'm not holding out hope at this point...

Shooting...

Both regiments of skeleton archers will fire into the Ogre Bulls on the left flank.
34 shots total. These always hit on 5+ regardless of any bonuses or penalties;

34d6
1 + 1 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 6 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 5 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 6 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 1 + 5 + 4 = 105

*sigh*.....out of 34 die rolls I ended up with 10 "1's". What are the odds of that??
Anyways, I landed 9 hits on the Ogres (which is close to average for that BS).

To wound, S3 vs T4 needs 5's again:

9d6
1 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 3 + 5 + 3 + 3 + 6 = 28

...2 wounds on the Ogres from 34 shots. HA!
Anyone betting against me would be making BANK tonight! lol

So in summary...

1 wound at -1 AS. 2 wounds at normal AS. (3 wounds in total on the Ogre Bulls).

This concludes my turn.
