Psykopig VS Dwarfs (Round 2)

Ok, Dwarf line up was as follows:

Unit of Longbeards (with hero)

Unit of Normal Soldiers (can't remember thier names) (with hero)

3 Cannons

1 Organ Gun

unit of 20 Pistol guys.

My lineup was:

Butcher

Bruiser

6 Ironguts

6 Bulls

3 Leadbelchers

Gorger

3 Yhetee's

24 Gnobbies

8 Gnobbie Trappers

The game started with him hitting me with his cannons and organ guns. Combined all 4, over 2 turns completley wiped out my bulls.

I had gotten my gorger out in turn 2, which attacked the cannon the following turn. (Because i moved in much closer then his minimum guess range )

Leadbelchers got off 12 hits, but only 4 wounds on his pistol men, killing all 4.

Butcher cast some braingobbler (1 time) and bonecruncher (3 times failing once) (all using 1 dice per spell [this is in reference to another thread]) Killed about 3 Longbeards with Bonecruncher, then made em panic by  braingobbler.

Which helped, but i STUPIDLY charged them with the butcher....(i seriously regret that) and lost him the next combat phase.

Gorger wiped out the cannon team, charged the normal soldiers. Bruiser got the flank, but got whooped. Gorger did plenty of damage.

Gnobbies took on the longbeards (which worked out perfectly for me, as this is what i run the gnobbies for) They got wiped out, but gave time for my ironguts to come up and do some damage.

Ironguts wiped out the longbeard unit

All the while, during his turns he systematically lost his cannons due to misfires. 1 cannon team died due to a misfire, the other panic from another braingobbler and left the table (funnily enough) this happened before the butcher was taken out (sorry i forgot to mention it)

Yhetee's got one shot down from the pistol guys, then ran due to a panic. Rallied the next turn, but it was a bit late

All in all, all he had left was the pictol guys, and the ironguts made shortplay of them.

.........VICTORY TO ME!

I am happy with this list. For more specific situatiosn, just ask in the thread, and I know....i am sorry the battle report is a bit all over the place, but its hard to recall all the turns...

Psykopig,

glad you got a win!

It's always good to see other players lists and how they run an army.

I've only just started playing Ogres (first game last night), so I may have missed something.  But I thought butchers could only cast each spell once per magic phase (as per the BRB).

Also you say you got too close for the cannon to shoot your gorger.  Couldn't the cannon have used grape shot?

good game cool to hear a ogre battle report.

@MarkM

You can recast the same spell again, but it increases the casting by 3.

So for instance, I cast bonecruncher on a 3+, same magic phase, i try it again, bonecruncher needs a 6+. Hence why I only got 4 spells put through the whole game. Because even though i kept doing it, it was to waste his dispell die the first 2 times. He used 2 dice against my one.

I am not sure what grapeshot is though....he never said anything like it, so...

MarkM is correct, a single Butcher may only attempt to cast each spell once each magic phase, whether it's successfully cast or not.

Good job not panicing when the shooting started raining down. Thanks for the Battle rep.

MarkM is correct, a single Butcher may only attempt to cast each spell once each magic phase, whether it's successfully cast or not.

ok, i re-read it and I have misread it, a second butcher can cast it at double the cost. My mistake. I dont think it would have made a big difference to the battle eitherway.

In total my magic killed a total of 3 models.....so...

wont happen again.  

Nice work !!!  Keep them victories coming !!  Well tomorrow is friday night gaming at the club and it's goign to be wild !!  Will write about it.
