TWO GAMES of SPEARHEAD in ONE DAY!?
(Nicely… not fairly…)
After taking part in John on the Warhammer retailer within the morning… I lastly obtained Amanda to take a seat down and take a look at a sport within the night.
She determined to check out the Sylvaneth Bitterbark Copse. I performed with the Fangs of the Blood God once more, as they had been recent in my head and I figured I would be having to maintain observe of ALL THE THINGS for the Sylvaneth as effectively…
There’s a LOT of issues to maintain observe of… and, and the tip of an extended day… on the finish of an extended work week… Amanda was discovering it a bit a lot.
We did play by means of her first flip…
Her Treelord and Kurnothi each made ranged assaults towards one in all my items of Flesh Hounds, destroying all however one in all them… The Treelord had deliberate on charging the Flesh Hounds… however the final surviving one was now too distant…
On the finish of the spherical Amanda scored 5VP (3 for holding goal areas, one for the twist, and one from a card requiring her to carry the Dracotion goal – the opposite one she’d hoped to attain was one requiring the usage of a combat capability… which she wasn’t capable of do… as a result of she killed too many Flesh Hounds with SHOOTING!?)
At that time, we form of needed to name it although. Amanda was simply too drained. Additionally, Morgan’s room is true subsequent door to the sport room, and Amanda was apprehensive they may not get to sleep if we had been taking part in a sport in there (They’ve began a job at a donut retailer, however they START at 5AM!?)
On my first flip, all the pieces surged ahead to the remoted unit of Tree-Revenants holding the target within the heart of the sector of battle…
and CHARGED!!!
One in every of my first rolls… Yeah… that is EIGHT ones… out of twenty-four cube…
Regardless of abysmal cube rolling… they had been completely annihilated.. as a result of… NUMBERS!
So I scored three for targets, one from the twist and one from a card, tying up the sport.
Beginning off the following spherical, Amanda introduced these Tree-Revenants proper again onto the desk as reinforcements…
…after which used Walkers of the Hidden Paths to teleport them into my rear to doubtlessly maintain one in all two goal areas…
The Treelord maneuvered to cost into the mass of khorne daemons and cultists.
The Treelord charged Karanak
Simply so you do not suppose I used to be the one one making loopy unhealthy rolls… This was the Treelords first assault… wanted 4+ to hit. Any that hit wounded on 2+ after which had one or two rend, dealing two or three injury every… I SHOULD have simply dealt 7+ injury, completely destroying Karanak in a single assault… however as a substitute solely did two injury!!?
Then Karanak tried to chew again…
Apparently he was SO BUSY dodging the Treelords blows, he wasn’t capable of get one good chomp in!? (wanted 4+ to hit…)
Then the Treelord used the Sylvaneth Strike and Fade capability to only teleport out of there…
With the Treelord there, it flipped one of many targets and the Tree-Revenants scored the opposite.
Amanda scored one other six victory factors (three for targets and three for scoring all three playing cards!), bringing her whole to eleven!
On my flip, Karanak charged and managed to get all the best way across the Kurnothi Hunters and get on the Branchwych!
On the opposite facet of the battlefield, some Flesh Hounds ran over and stood by the wall… okay, they most likely peed on the wall… They didn’t have interaction the Treelord as it might have killed them they usually wanted to remain alive to attain some factors…
That is what drives me a bit loopy about this sport… it’s ALL about positioning and scoring factors by means of targets and you can conceivably play a complete sport with out combating in any respect… and rating a lot of factors…
Karanak ate the Branchwych.
The Kurnothi savaged the Claws of Karanak.
I solely obtained 4 victory factors this spherical – two for holding targets and two for playing cards… so now Amanda was forward eleven to 9…
The following spherical combating continued within the one nook and the Kurnoth Hunters completed off the Claws of Karanak.
The Treelord lumbered again into the center of the Battlefield to grab the target there.
On the finish of her flip, Amanda scored SEVEN Victory Factors!? Three for holding three or extra goal areas, one for the twist, and all three Tactic playing cards!? This pu her at Eighteen (double my 9 factors!?)
The Claws of Karanak returned as reinforcements on my flip they usually, together with one of many items of Flesh Hounds charged the remoted unit of Tree-Revenants… once more…
and… did not QUITE wipe them out… however killed sufficient of them that I used to be capable of take again an goal location.
In the meantime, on the opposite flank, Karanak had whittled the Kurnothi all the way down to ONE…
On the finish of the flip I solely scored three factors… two for targets and one for the twist…
Beginning off the ultimate spherical. The Treelord determined it was time for the Sylvaneth to get some vengeance… and completely destroyed Karanak with some completely common rolls… The Kurnoth Hunter additionally lastly killed the final Flesh Hound within the unit that had been lowered to 1 in her first flip… after which she simply refused to kill it off, understanding that if she did, a full unit of 5 would return as reinforcements?!
The final Tree-Revenant went down swinging!
On the finish of the flip Amanda scored three for goal areas and one for a card (Take the Head – for destroying Karanak and sending them again to the Brass Citadel) which introduced her ultimate tally to TWENTY-TWO Victory Factors…
Contemplating I used to be beginning my ultimate flip TEN factors behind… issues weren’t trying good.
The Reinforcement unit of Flesh Hounds did, in actual fact, seem… they usually went to seek out that final Kurnothi.
Having despatched the final of the Tree-Revenants on Amanda’s flip, the Claws of Karanak had been free to unfold out and seize one other Goal loaction (all whereas conserving of us shut sufficient to one of many Quick Desk Edges to attain a card!)
The opposite unit of Flesh Hounds likewise charged into the middle of the battlefield to grab again one of many different goal location!
The reinforcement Flesh Hounds tore the Kurnothi aside into severalgood sized sticks, which they carried off and had chew on…
In the long run I scored a staggering SEVEN victory factors! Three for goal areas, all three tactic playing cards, AND the Twist… it did not assist a lot although…
it introduced my whole to Nineteen victory factors, which meant Amanda gained along with her Twenty-Two!!
We might initially deliberate to play a unique sport on Saturday afternoon, however this sport took virtually 5 hours…? There have been a LOT of distractions and I needed to clarify a LOT to Amanda… after which reexplain it… F
Enjoyable was had, although, and he or she says she’d be keen to play once more and actually just like the Sylvaneth!
