Turn 1

He was unfamiliar with Ogres so He asked me what those gorgers did when I told him that they could come out on any table edge after turn 2 he looked at his chukkas and sighed. This turned out to be key to my win in the end.

Fearing the gorgers he did not move but rather turned around so it would face the rear table edge his Orc boss on wyvern , wolf chariot, and giant. The rest moved forward marching. The wolf riders were on either flank. No magic went off, chukkas opened fire killing an ogre and panicking the bulls unit.

I moved everything up 6 inches and opened fire with belchers on the wolf rider unit, destroying both units. Tooth cracker cast on tyrant.

Turn 2

He moves up goblins and pump wagons. Chukas destroy a unit of Iron guts. Fanatics released not much damage done. No magic since I envoke Hellheart.

I reload belchers that had fired and move other blechers up and fire on goblins killing 5 goblins and fire on fanatic and misfire killing 1 belcher. Bull gorger goes off on bulls and he blocks my spaming of bone cruncher and brain gnobbler.

Both gorgers come out

Turn 3

He fails animosity on Orc boar riders and goblins. Orc boss on wyvern charges Gorger kills gorger. The giant chargers other gorger and is head butted. I dispell all his spell attempts and he forgets to try and dispell my RIP spells. Chukas kill more IG’s

I combo charge Goblins with tyrant Bulls and LB’s on flank. Autobreak and destroy.  I charge pump wagons with  IG and LB’s and destroy both.

Turn 4

He charges and challenges my Tyrant with his boss, combat is a draw. Giant kills gorger, Chariot charges IG’s and is killed.

I kill boss on Wyvern, Game over. The tyrant due to Tooth crack and maw seeker  was T7 and was ST 8. Although I must admit Tenderiser would still of been better but I just wanted the mawseeker.

Side note I rolled a 1 for my tyrant 2 times for stupidity thank god for the jade lion.
Sounds like a pretty good battle. Just one thing bothers me:

Side note I rolled a 1 for my tyrant 2 times for stupidity thank god for the jade lion.
Surely this is a good thing for stupidity tests as it means you have definitely passed the stupidity test.

Ghworg
2 Pet Gnoblars! I dub them Itchy and Scratchy, for reasons that are too private to divulge.
yes turn one i check for stupity and get a 1! using jade lion I reroll and pass

Next turn I roll a 1! Jade lion allows me to pass.

I was so glad I shelled out for the JadeLion
