SmokinAces Vs Belly Busta (Glorious 7th)

Here'we go then Belly Busta, the thread for our game. Not sure how many points you want to play but I prefer 2,250 as thats what most tournements used to run and what just about all my lists are written for.

I'll get working on a map. If you could send me your email I'll get us a dicelog on hamete to roll in. And lastly any preverences to what army you face, I can play any army (although some better than others). Also I would think it better if you stuck with the army books that were out at the time and not the ones released since the new edition.

How's this map?


Terrain - Stream is difficult
            - Big rock impassible
Sound okay?

I'll go ahead and put a list up now as well seeing as I have one I want to play. Hopefully your okay playing against Bretonnians if not I'm more than happy to change.

Bretonnians are the army I am probably least familiar with both using them and fighting against them so I thought I would give them a whirl. I must tell you now that I like to create lists that are/were against the norm trying to find something different but remain competitive and I've had mixed success. Anyway this least I feel is quite a bit different to what most Bretonnian 7th ed lists look liked. No Pegasus' is the biggest things then I have taken the weaker choice of Questing Knights and have actually invested in decent magic phase instead of the the usual scroll caddies and have also taken some lesser seen items. Hope it's fun.


Templates as in order of army list, up and down and left to right as you read.

man your efficient!  That map is gorgeous!!!! I sent you my email and also let you know what times I can get on so we can try and organise a time when both of us can get on. I have used a dice log before so no problem there. Also cool list and could be quite dangerous if you get some Wolfs Hunts so move the trains around.

Following your lead I thought I would try a army I don't play much which is Warriors of choas. I also decided to make a list which was out of the ordinary and actually had Warriors in it haha! I know the Daemon Prince is seen as a weak choice but meh I wanna give him a go. Also I could probably sharpen the list up magic item wise but we shall see its only a friendly game using old rules haha hence why I used Khorne warriors and Dragone orges and only a few Knights. Anyway enough blabble.

Daemon Prince Xerxes; MoT, Level 2, Bloodcurdling Roar, Fury of the Blood God (435) Flickering Fire and Gateway
Sorcerer; MoT, Level 2, Power Familiar, Dispel Scroll (190) Flickering Fire and Pandaemonium

I hope I did that right and it appeared in the dice log.

I have to admit I didn't make the map, well actually I did but I stole the individual pieces from Asrai.org si many thanks there.

Interesting list. The only time I ever play Warriors is at tournements and there its more like Wizards of Chaos backed up my Knights and Horsemen so this should be good. Although saying that the Daemon Prince with Bloodcurdling Roar and those str7 Dragon Ogres look extra nasty against my armoured Knights.

Roll for first turn with reroll if needed....

I'll be be praying so you can have the first turn if you like.

no unfortunatly he is stuck with 5 str5 attacks  . I guess I'll take the first turn even though you sneakily deployed out of Flickering Fire range  .



Magic!!! I have a total of 9 power dice.
I'll start with Gateway on the Questing Knights with 3 dice.

Result of the throw of dice "3d6 >= 15" :

Okay then another 3 to cast Call to Glory on the Marauders.

Result of the throw of dice "3d6 >= 12" :

My Damsel won't be drinking from the Chalice this turn. So just the 5 dispel dice.

I'll cast Beast Cowers on your Daemon Prince 7+...
Dispel?

ahhh I won't to cast Pandaemonium but if I try you'll be able to charge my Daemon Prince turn 2. Then again you still have 5 dice to my 3.

Result of the throw of dice "3d6 >= 7" :

4 + 6 + 3 = 13 ... success
