500 pts battle report vs Purple Hill Tribe (O&G)

I played a 500-point game of Warhammer today against my friend, me with my Ogres and he with his Orcs. It was a total massacre!

Here's the list I used:

1 Bruiser, no upgrades
1 Butcher, no upgrades
3 Bulls, no upgrades
3 Ironguts, no upgrades

And even that is 509 pts! The game, of course, wasn't serious so I was allowed to have a few too many points.

His list:

1 Orc Big Boss, Ulag's Akkrit Axe
1 Orc Shaman, Dispel Scroll
20 Orc Warriors w/ additional Choppa and full command
12 Arrer Boyz, no upgrades

The battle:
After deployment, we rolled a D6 to see who started moving. He won the roll and decided to start. He moved his ladz forward (his Big Boss was in the unit of Warriors, btw) - he tried charging my Irongut unit with his Warrior ladz but was like, two inches too far away... Next, in his magic phase (he had Gaze of Mork and Fists of Gork), he cast Gaze of Mork (I think) but I dispelled it. Right, then his Arrer Boyz shot at my Ironguts, but only one arrow wounded, and I saved it wiv my leet Heavy Armour.

In movement phase, I charged his Warriors with my Ironguts. My Bruiser then joined my Bulls and I flank-charged his Warriors with them. Next, I moved my Butcher towards his Arrer Boyz and cast Braingobbler on them - they spectacularly failed the panic test, even though the General was within 12". Next, I cast Bonecruncher on his Shaman - he tried dispelling it but failed. I inflicted 10 hits and 4 wounds on his Shaman, who died. Next, it was Close Combat. After a lot of hacking and bashing, only his Big Boss and 5 of his 20 Warriors were left. He failed to inflict any wounds, broke, and fled 10". I pursued with my Ironguts, rolling 11. So, only his Arrer Boyz are left, which fail to rally and flee off the battlefield.

So, there you have it - not one wound inflicted on my Ogres, his entire force obliterated. I don't think my first battle could've turned out better! :wink:

good played, and nice armylist, I would have taken 2x3 bulls and 20 gnoblars instead, byt the ironguts worked fine i see, i cant wait to see more of your pics, MSN groups aren't as good as photobuchet, you cant post pictures directly into the forum from MSN. Try photobucket, its a lot easier to use anyway

I've, unfortunately, developed a deep resentment for Photobucket because it, after a while, goes greedy and wants you to pay if you're to be able to show your pictures EVER AGAIN MUAHAHHHAHAHHAHahhAHHAhAhaHhahAHhah YOU'RE PAWNS IN PHOTOBUCKET'S GRAND GAME!!!! MERE PUPPETS!!!!!!!!!111111 etc.

Yeah. Kinda. O_o''

ANYWAY, I'll try

Ive used photobucket for almost a year now and it have never asked me to pay!!!

Well, some of those... Maybe it was Tripod or Angelfire, can never keep those three apart XD

Well nice game, I'm surprised he couldn't do a single wound to anything, even though you obviously massacred him. I was really surprised at your list, I never take more than a bruiser until I reach 1000 points or so, it doesn't seem like it would be that effective.

Guess you never know till someone tries  :wink:

Just couldn't go without Braingobbler! After all, that's partially what won me the game, that and Bonecruncher.

I agree, i've taken a butcher in a 750 point gamewith similair results, in fact I don't think I even got into combat, they just ran screaming from my butcher.  

Hoorah, I just bought a Butcher box PH43R

Wow, snapage. The O&G player would have been better off with Fanatics (to crunch Ironguts) but he didn't have them. Go Ogres!

Well he DOES technically HAVE the models, but it was only 500 pts and the guy couldn't afford 'em :3

That's just what I'd do - I grew up watching my two older brothers playing O&G vs Bretonnia. Three units of NGs, all with 3 Fanatics. Bye-bye Knights!

Yeah, suppose you're right. I would have found a way to fit them in, but...

 

Heh, last night we played 1000 pts, I told him that Fanatics are great for dealing with the Gutz, but he was all like 'No way man, this is an all-Orc army, no Gobbos allowed!'

Hah. He still massacred me with his Giant though. And my Ironguts kept fleeing off the battlefield. >_<''

Tell you´r friend that Arrer Boys are crap.Tell him to try to squeeze in some Boar Boys,Trolls or anyhting else that can take care of ogres.Oh,and Ulag´s Akkrit Axe ain´t that good.Tell him to get Drog´s and a GW .Best and cheapest combo.And why does´nt he use gobbos?.They are the best units in the game .

Edit:Forgot the most obvios.Congrats to the win!!! .

It is soooooo good when everything just works out... congrats on the game and the win.
cheers
