2400 No Magic vs Warriors of Chaos

Hey guys, I was never intending to do up a battle report for the games I just had over the weekend but had a few minutes to spare and banged this one together.  It lacks details but hopefully the highlights are in place.

Ogre Kingdoms vs. Warriors of Chaos
===================================

Overview
--------
Date played: Friday, 1 August 2014

Ogre Kingdoms
-------------
  (T1) Tyrant
      - Giantbreaker, Greedy Fist, Other Trickster's Shard, Sword of Striking
  (B) Bruiser
      - BSB, Runemaw, Ironfist
  (H) Hunter
      - Great Weapon, Armour of Silvered Steel, Dragonbane Gem
  (O) 16 Ogres
      - Full Command
  (G) 30 Gnoblars
      - Standard, Musician, Trappers
  (MC) 4 Mournfang Cavalry
      - Musician, Standard, Banner of Swiftness, Ironfists, Heavy Armour   
  (L) 6 Leadbelchers
      - Musician
  (S1) Sabretusk
  (S2) Sabretusk
  (S3) Sabretusk
  (I) Ironblaster
  (T2) Thundertusk

The premise of my list is pretty simple.  Run up and steam roll stuff with the S7 Tyrant.  If I deem he can do more damage to rank and file models then I can shrug off a challenge to the Crusher in the unit of Ogres.  Mournfang are running around like Elven steeds whilst the Leadbelchers are some much needed chaff removal.  Hunter because well nobody uses him.

Warriors of Chaos
-----------------
  (DP1) Daemon Prince
      - Mark of Nurgle, Charmed Shield, Scaled Skin, Soul Feeder
  (DP2) Daemon Prince
      - Mark of Nurgle
  (EH) Exalted Hero
      - Mark of Nurgle, Daemonic Steed, Barding, Talisman of Preservation
  (WoN) 20 Warriors of Nurgle
      - Full Command, Banner of Swiftness, Halberds, Shields
  (CH1) 5 Chaos Hounds
  (CH2) 5 Chaos Hounds
  (CH3) 5 Chaos Hounds
  (CoN) Chariot of Nurgle
  (WoT) Warshrine of Tzeentch
  (C) Chimera
      - Regen, Breath Weapon
  (S) 4 Skullcrushers
      - Ensorcelled Weapons, Musician   
  (H) Hellcannon

I feel my brother has really struggled to find his feet with Warriors of Chaos ever since he started playing them.  This is a list I designed for him and just told him to be angry with it and get it into combat.

Deployment
----------
 

Warriors roll up to go first.

Turn 1 - Warriors of Chaos
--------------------------
 

Pretty straight forward, everything advances.  The Warshrine adds +1 armour save to the Warrior champion.  Hellcannon puts a single wound onto the Ironblaster.

Turn 1 - Ogre Kingdoms
----------------------
 

The Hunter attempts to charge the Chaos Hounds who flee.  I was expecting the Daemon Prince to come in to smash next round.  Thundertusk attacks the Daemon Prince with chill attack however it scatters and does 3 wounds to the other which was a nice surprise.  Leadbelchers chip away the charmed shield and the Ironblaster manages a single wound.

Turn 2 - Warriors of Chaos
--------------------------
 

The Chaos Hounds charge into the flank of the Leadbelchers (no idea why) whilst the Daemon Princes continue to circle around (I was fully expecting them to charge).  Warshrine once again does something as the Chaos Hounds rally.  Chaos Hounds die and Leadbelchers turn to face.

Turn 2 - Ogre Kingdoms
----------------------
 

Leadbelchers and Mournfang Cavalry charge into the warriors whilst the Hunter finally catches up with the Chaos Hounds.  This opens the way for the Ogres who commit into the Daemon Prince.  The Gnoblars inspired by the big brutes moves attempt to charge the Chariot however their little legs just aren't quick enough.  The Ironblaster and friends commit to shooting the other Daemon Prince ridding him whilst impact hits alone remove the other Daemon Prince from existence.  The Leadbelchers take 3-4 wounds from the enemy BSB as the Ogres remove a rank and the combat continues.  Hunter cuts down enemy poochies.

Turn 3 - Warriors of Chaos
--------------------------
 

Chariot cuts down the Sabretusk whilst the Warshrine joins the combat.

Turn 3 - Ogre Kingdoms
----------------------
 

The Gnoblars charge into the flank of the chariot whilst the Hunter and friend hit the Warshrines flank.  Shooting does nil with the Ironblaster misfiring.  Combat goes worse with lots of attacks bouncing and the Hunter and MFC break from combat.  Gnoblars go awesome and cut down the chariot.

Turn 4 - Warriors of Chaos
--------------------------
 

Warshrine aims for MFC who are 1" away from the board.  Chimera into the Ironblaster does poorly with a single wound.  BSB finishes off Leadbelchers.

Turn 4 - Ogre Kingdoms
----------------------
 

Ogres into the Chimera, Hunter and MFC rally.  Chimera dead.

Turn 5 - Warriors of Chaos
--------------------------
 

Hellcannon charges into Gnoblar who fail terror and run away.  Warshrine into MFC.  We call the game.

Result - Ogre Kingdom victory.

Good game.  How did the ultra Killy Tyrant do in combat? Was the MFC not in range of his leadership when they fled?  What happened?

Did the hellcannon do anything other than shoot once and charge the gnoblars?

Cool battle report.  Thanks for posting.  Very lucky causing 3 wounds from the snow blower to the Deamon prince.

Thanks for posting up as ever!

Kind regards Zolas.

Ouch, I thought the WoC player was a douche-canoe till I read that you designed the list; figured you were dead for sure.  Your brother's deployment was WAY too spread out.  WoC is a smaller army (like ours).  Tell him to start denying a flank.
