Deployment
----------
Nice and tight deployment from the Warriors of Chaos. I won the roll off for first turn however.
Turn 1 - High Elves
-------------------
Hand of Glory onto the Archers is dispelled. The Ring of Fury fails to cast onto the Chariot however the Archmage's Soul Quench puts 2 wounds onto the war machine. Finally Walk Between Worlds fails to meet the casting value.
Turn 1 - Warriors of Chaos
--------------------------
Full advance from the Warriors. Final Transmutation is attempted onto the Silver Helms however it fails to cats by one. The Hellcannon drops a single Reaver however they fail to panic.
Turn 2 - High Elves
-------------------
Wasting no time the Swordmasters charge the Chariot of Khorne whilst the Silverhelms charge the opposite number both hoping to break through to the Skullcrushers. Arcane Unforging is dispelled, Hand of Glory gives the Archers +2 BS. The Archers then kill a single Ogre via shooting. In combat the Annointed destroys the Chariot and the unit overruns into the nearby Skullcrushers. The Silverhelms however don't gain the break through on the charge. Whilst the Chariot is left on a unhealthy 1 wound the chariot drops 2 Silver helms in return and holds on snake eyes. ouch!
Turn 2 - Warriors of Chaos
--------------------------
The Warriors captilise on the High Elves arrogance and charge into the Silverhelms with the Chimera and the angry looking Ogres. The Warrior swift reform to face the oncoming threat of the Swordmasters. A bubble glittering robes goes off irresistable doing no damage to the Daemon Prince but granting the nearby units some very good armour saves. Plague of Rust goes irresistable again effecting the Silverhelms but the Daemon Prince remains unscathed from the spellcasting. The Hellcannon drops a direct hit onto the Phoenix however the ward save kicks in negating any damage. In combat the Skullcrushers take 4 wounds whilst the Swordmasters lose 2 of their number. The Khorne Warriors break nerve and flee from the battlefield whilst the Wardens of the White Tower reform. The Silverhelms are punished for their arrogance and after suffering casualties they're cut down in the pursuit.
Turn 3 - High Elves
-------------------
The Phoenix Guard charge the Chimera. The Phoenix drops a single Warrior of Chaos whilst two Soul Quenches drop another pair. Finally Hand of Glory takes the shooting abilities of the Archers up again. The Phoenix Guard put 3 wounds onto the Beast before losing 5 of their number however the combat holds.
Turn 3 - Warriors of Chaos
--------------------------
The Daemon Prince gets into position and unleashes a Final Transmutation onto the Swordmasters which I'm powerless to stop. The Archmage and 7 swordmasters turn into gold. The Hellcannon puts a single wound onto the Phoenix. In combat the Phoenix Guard fail a fear check but its not enough to protect the Chimera as it is chopped to pieces.
Turn 4 - High Elves
-------------------
The Reavers charge the flank of the single wound Chariot whilst the Phoenix and Swordmasters rush into the Warriors. Finally the Phoenix Guard, Archers and Reavers charge into the menacing Ogres. The enemy BSB calls a challenge and the Annointed steps forth silently offering a prayer to Asuryan before putting a grave wound onto the enemy hero. The Swordmasters kill 6 Warriors in return and they retaliate killing 7 swordmasters. The Phoenix air swings and kills a single model via thunderstomp. The Phoenix pursues and cuts down the enemy unit whilst the Swordmasters reform to face the Hellcannon. The Reavers charging the chariot fail to do a wound and take a casualty however the combat holds. The Ogres however after the dust clears only the champion remains, he slices two Archers apart before holding on snake eyes refusing to go anywhere.
Turn 4 - Warriors of Chaos
--------------------------
The Hellcannon rampages towards the Swordmasters. The Daemon Prince casts Plague of Rust on the Swordmasters however his attempt at Transmutation of Lead is dispelled. The Chariot is finally splintered whilst the Chaos Ogre is brought down. The Annointed strips a wound off the Hellcannon whilst the Swordmasters dispatch the Chaos Dwarfs.
Turn 5 - High Elves
-------------------
Swordmasters leave the Hellcannon on a single wound.
Turn 5 - Warriors of Chaos
--------------------------
Final transmutation onto the Phoenix Guard is dispelled whilst the Hellcannon falls in combat.
Turn 6 - High Elves
-------------------
Turn 6 - Warriors of Chaos
--------------------------
Result - High Elves Victory.
