On Wednesday afternoon I bought in a few video games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Spearhead with my buddy Orion!
The primary sport I performed my model new Blades of Khorne – Fangs of the Blood God military. Orion introduced her common Soulblight Gravelords – Bloodcrave Hunt. She has a NEW Soulblight Gravelords military – the Deathrattle Tomb Host – however they don’t seem to be painted but!
I received the roll off and determined to be the attacker. As Defender, Orion selected to play on the Dolorum facet of the sport board from the Sand & Bone Gaming Pack, selected facet and the deployment map and all that… after which the Horde of Khorne Canines begins swarming throughout the batlefield – so quick had been they that I did not get to take a photos of their preliminary tendencies!?
On the primary flip of Spherical One, Karanak, the Hound of Vengeance, despatched forth do search out that which gained the ire of the God of Blood himself, had discovered it is quarry…
Different Flesh Hounds circled spherical to dam her escape.
Karanak moved in and shredded the Vampire…
So… that is it.. Quarry hunted down and destroyed! Mission Achieved! WE can all go..
wait… what…?
We’ve to play three and a half MORE rounds?!
Uggggggghhhh… finnnnne…
So, elsewhere…
The Claws of Karanak and the opposite pack of Flesh Hounds had charged the Deathrattle Skeletons sitting on the target on the opposite flank… as a result of I assume that is a factor they might do… Not a lot blood to spill… however canines like bones, I assume!
Sadly they had been a bit to exhuberant of their cost and bought a bit too near the Blood Knights who had been lurking simply to the rear…
On MY flip, earlier than they even bought to swing certainly one of their massive chopping blades, the Blood Knights totally worn out my Claws of Karanak.
Then on their flip, they completed off the unit of Flesh Hounds!
Initially of the Second Spherical Karanak and the surviving unit of Flesh Hounds, smelling recent blood… of their compatriots being slaughtered, charged throughout the battlefield to assault the Blood Knights!
(Additionally… if Blood Knights are allowed to cost… they’re SAVAGE… so higher to cost them and hope for one of the best… get them caught in…)
Regardless of not charging the battle was savage and bloody…
after which they weren’t there anymore!? They had been simply instantly throughout the battlefield stealing another goal…? (silly battle ways playing cards…)
A recent unit of the Claws of Karanak arrived to take again an goal…
Solely to get charged by the Blood Knights once more…
ONE of them survived the preliminary assaults… after which the Horses went and the final one died… once more…
Karanak and the final remaining Flesh Hound determined to chew on some bones…
Flesh Hounds assaults… needing a 4+ to hit… in case you had been questioning how the flowery new Khorne cube had been figuring out for me… similar as at all times…
After which it was Spherical Three and the Vargheists confirmed up and completed off the final Flesh Hound and despatched Karanak again to the Brass Palace within the Realm of the Blood God…
Finish of Spherical Three…
Tabled.
Spherical 4 I did get to convey on reinforcements…
They usually charged down and shredded a unit of Deathrattle Skeletons… effectively… all however ONE… which prevented me from scoring one other level.
The Soulbights “won” the sport, I assume… though Karanak slayed the quarry, which, narratively, is all of the Daemonic manifestation of Khorne’s wrathful vengeance cares about, actually… so…
Orion ended the sport with 20 victory factors and I had 15. Which, is just about nearly as good as I may have anticipated.
The Fangs of the Blood God aren’t the strongest of Spearhead armies… they’ve quite a lot of assaults… in the event that they get to make use of them… however they don’t seem to be notably correct or exhausting hitting they usually have subsequent to NO learn (lowering armour saves) aside from Karanak… They’ve crap saves and never quite a lot of well being. they do have a 6+ ward save… however that does not do a lot.
They DO all have the reinforcements key phrase (except for Karanak)… however just one unit of reinforcements may be introduced on per spherical… and there are solely 4 rounds… But when your models begin being worn out on Spherical One… you may convey one again each flip for the remainder of the sport…? Yay…?
Trying again at these photos right here… I am questioning if I could have forgotten to convey again certainly one of my models of Flesh Hounds…? Ah, effectively. Perhaps I simply forgot to take an image of it…? Acquired rode down by the Blood Knights so quick I did not get an opportunity…? I do not know.
It is at all times enjoyable taking part in with Orion, so…
This one went fast sufficient and we had a while so we performed a SECOND sport… however I am going to write that up in a second sport report!
