Played in a warhammer borderpatrol tournament this weekend, I used the following list: Exalted champion: MOCU, Barded Chaos steed, Flail & shield. 120 Points Core: 5 ChaosKnights: Standard. 185 Points 6 Chaos Hounds: 36 Points 5 Chaos Hounds: 30 Points Special: Beastherd: 7 Gors, 10 Ungors: Full command & gors have 2 handweapons. 124 Points Total: 495 Points Following things had changed from the normal rules: Max pointsvalue on a single model was 150 instead & we got no victory points for banners, general (50 extra in kill the leader scenario) or tablequarters. We calculated all the victory points together at the end to get a winner. How the games went: Game 1: Scenario: Pitched battle. My opponent was playing TK, using a Lichepriest, 4 Ushabti & 10 archers. I had the worst case of bad rolling in my life (I didnīt dispel a single incantation during the whole game altough I had a 50% chance each round w. Him only able to use 2 dice on a single spell each turn)! Altough I played well & my trap w. the hounds worked against my opponent, when I charged his Ushabti w. my chaos knights w. exalted I only managed a total of 2 wounds! & save none in return, meaning my exalted was the only one alive, whom promptly, only to rally later, he went of trying to kill enough archers to get me some victory points, while my hounds flank the ushabti & the beastherd charge from the front of them, only to see me kill a single Ushabti (whom had already lost 2 wounds) whilst they slaughtered all too many, my beastherd & hounds fled & was trampled. My exalted manages to only kill 3 skeletons (one by the steed), meaning I donīt get any victory points for them... After the game I see his Priest costs 160 points, but he says that Liche priest may cost more points, havenīt seen this rule but I believe him. VP sofar: 0 Game 2: Scenario: Capture: Iīm up against VC & the player is none other than the reigning swedish champion in warhammer, Jacob Scott... We play a good battle where my knights smash up anything in their path, whilst my beastherd un out of the table due to panic (as I fled w. my hounds)the only thing he has left at the end of the game is his necromancer & a unit of Dire wolves, but he manages to take the objective, so itīs a draw. A notable thing preventing me from charging his necromancer, I failed to dispel his book of Arkhan bound spell, rolling double 1:s! VP sofar: 278 Game 3: Scenario: Kill the leader: This was probably THE worst list I saw during the day, his army consisted of the following: 1 Elven hero w. Additional handweapon & a bow (yep no armour), 19 Lothern seaguard & 7 Shadow warriors. The game starts of well for him, he shoots at the small unit of chaos hounds, killing 2, panicking them & they flee of the table... But I know I just have to kill the seaguard to win this game, so all I got just goes off as fast as possible towards his seaguard, my larger unit of hounds screening the knights. In his turn he charges out from the wood trying to hold my hounds for a turn, meaning my knights will have to either charge his shadow warriors or purue them in the wrong direction, so I flee w. The hounds, his charge fails... He then shoots against my beastherd killing a single ungor... In my 2:nd turn both my knight unit & my beastmen charge the seaguard, my hounds rally just at the seaguards flank, turning against them. I ask if he has a champion & he answers no, I declare a challenge & he takes it, my general killing his & have an overkill of 2!, I then let my knights & beastmen continue the slaughter by killing 11 seaguard, he strikes back & kills a single Gor, I win the combat 6 he autobreaks, fleeing of the table whilst my units hold. In his 3:rd turn he charges my hounds, the combat is a draw. I then charge the shadow warriors w. My beastmen (I love how hey can charge in all directions) & then promptly kills them. I later ask him about his list & he answers itīs the SOC list, he thought he would get a free turn of shooting, but he then realised only lords could have that honour... I get 549 VP VP sofar: 827 Game 4: Scenario: Pitched battle: Iīm up against VC, his list is a Thrall leading 14 graveguard, a huge unit of ghouls & 2 units of Dire Wolves. He walks forward w. Everything he got, a bit too far though so in my round I declare chargers & my knights go straight into the graveguard, killing 6 of them & wins the combat by huge numbers, he only has 4 Graveguard & the vampire left. In turn 2 he charges into my knights w. a unit of Direwolves whom miracously kills 2 knights! (I rolled 2 on both of the wounds), because of this he wins the combat & autobreaks me. I flee & he fails to catch them. He also declares a charge w. his other wolves against my beastmen, whom wins the combat easily, overunning them into a great position. Aswell as charging my hounds w. his ghouls, I flee w. them. In my turn I rally the knights & my beastmen charges into his ghouls, I fail to do a single wound (w. 13 attacks)! He strikes back w. 17 attacks & only manage to make a single wound (no poison at all) so I win the combat & the ghouls flee (both of us were very unlucky in this combat). In his 3:rd turn he declares charges w. his Direwolves & his Graveguard into my knights, but the Dire wolves fail to reach (obstacle in the way) meaning he got 2 Graveguard & a vampire facing 2 Knights & an exalted champion. I challenge his vampire. She wounds his & he strikes back causing 3 wounds, & then the steed add another wound for overkill. My knights kill the graveguard & i overrun into his Dire wolves, & then kill them off in my turn... I get 502 VP (yep he had too many points...) VP sofar:1329 Game 5: Scenario: Capture Iīm up against a good friend of mine, playing Bretonnia, he has never won against me so i feel quite confident. I start of by trying to lure him into a trap, which he sees, (heīs alot better than he was last time, he has played about 30 games since then & he has learned alot w. my tactica I wrote, published on this forum) we continue to try to get the charge & he then charges my knights w. his Realm knights, I challenge his general & kills him whilst he kills a single knight, I win the combat but he doesnīt break. In my turn I charge into the flank w. a unit of hounds & breaks them. He positions his grail knights to charge my knights, only to later realise that both of my hound units can charge into a flank each, aswell as my beastmen into the rear (360 degrees line of sight is so bad). I donīt kill a single knight & he wins the combat by one! My beastmen break whilst my hounds stay (without the generals LD)! I then let my knights kill his men at arms & the hounds wins the combat by one! He passes the test, the same happens in his turn, & then in my turn (whilst my knight position themselves to charge his knights next round) I decide to let my few beastmen stay where the objective is rather than charge his rear again (meaning he has alot fewer models to fight with). I win the combat again, m,y knights then charge into his & break 3 of them, failing to capture them... He rallies, I charge once more, cuts down 2 of them, he only has a single knight left, whom kills 2 knights meaning the combat is won by the grail Knights(me rolling 2:s on both saves), thanks to the standard, he then runs my exalted down! I have still won & earned 490 VP:s & report, we later remember that he had no standard as my knights had taken it when he fled before so my exalted wouldnīt be killed... When we want to correct this mistake the Game Manager seems upset & tells us to piss off, no changes to be made... Oh well, I didnīt lose anything as I got my 490 VP:s & my opponent got more VP:s than he should, not too bad... VP sofar: 1819 Game 6: Scenario: Kill the leader Iīm up against my first opponent playing TK, time for revenge! The battle is much like the first one, except for one thing, I roll good, so this time altough my knight get charged by Ushabti, I win the combat, I then throw my beastherd into their flank & kill them all, while both my hound units finishes off his archers. I cannot kill his leader as he has cloak of dunes so I get 340 VP... VP total: 2159 & the winner is, yep, mr Scott playing VC, having almost full pointsvalue, having lost points only in the game against me, I come in 5:th place, not as good as last time but Iīm still satisfied as I had 0 points in the first game & managed to play a draw against Jacob... If I had managed to get only a 73 points in the first game I would have come 4:th instead... If I would change anything in the list I wouldīve used one less knight, one less hound & one less ungor & upgraded the knights to chosen (which I intended in the beginning, but I was afraid of meeting either a Bolt thrower, chariot or cannon), as my knights would have survived against both Grail Knights & the Graveguard & wouldīve let me have more attacks aswell... |

I don't get the flail's use much- flails are 2 handed so the shield can't be used in the next round anyway. |

I know, but in a combat vs T3 & little armour troops I use Handweapon & shield to get a 1+ save, & vs Knights, characters & harder troops I rather use the flail, & as I want to break the enemy on the charge I rather use flail than a Great Weapon, hence the flail... |

Yes I was, I never played against you, my army was: Exalted Champion, handweapon and shield, the Book of Secrets. 142 10 Chaos warriors with additional handweapons and standard. 182 10 Chaos Warriors with shields, standard and champion. 174 I didnīt go very well, I was almost always outflanked despite my Exalted protected the flanks. I went 2-4 and came in 29:th place. |

So youīre the one playing those Tzeentchian warriors then? Not to be mean or something, but I actually thought that your armylist sucked big time, why did you use that kind of army? Iīll PM you about maybe get together & play eachother sometime. |
