Points: 1999 points.
Outcome: Massacre for Bretonnia.
About the battle:

• Although having Spirit of the Forge for both my mages it only hits home twice. Gerard has learned his lesson from 2 years ago.

• The Swordmasters are charged by two lances at the time. This proves too much for even great weapon wielding, first striking Elves.

• Carefully picking his charges Gerard succeeds in alway flanking my troops...

Opponent: The Blue Wave of Tenochtitlán (Lizardmen, Thomas Van Buyten)
Points: 3000 points.

About the battle:

• Yannick, the Enlightened started the game by stealing a spell of a Skink Priest after which this last was shot from his Stegadon. Yannick stole another two spells during the remainder of the game.

• The Slann's magic was countered by dispelling only those spells that would affect key units.

• The Steam tank was able to charge the Slann's gaurd at an early stage allowing the remainder of the troops to focus on the Sauri and Skinks.

• Eventually all Lizardmen but some hiding Stegadon (!) and a unit of Saurus Warriors were destroyed...

Man/Unit of the Match: Steam Tank and Yannick, the Enlightened.

About the battle:

• Dragon Princes held the right side by destroying 3 kroxigors, a unit of skinks and the Scar Veteran General.

• Magic proofed vital on both sides and was responsible for several mishap's in the opponents' plans.

Opponent: Da Crazed Bunch (Orcs & Goblins, Tony)
Points: 2000 points.
Outcome: Massacre for the Empire.
About the battle:

• Two Night Goblin Shaman succeeded in miscasting and ensuing becoming Stupid en Frenzy.

• Because of too many failed animosity and stupidity test at the Green Skin side, the Empire troops had the charge advantage. When your wielding great weapons while lead by warrior priests that's a real pain...

Man/Unit of the Match: Karl Schürzenjäger.

Points: 1999 points.

Opponent: The Myriad of the Good Man (Chaos Warriors, Gert).
Points: 2000 points.
Outcome: Minor Victory for the Empire.
About the battle:

• Falco was not able to better the wizard in a challenge. His knights failed to wound the Chaos Knights and were cut down.

• The steam tank crushed everything in it's path.

• The Hell Canon was a real burden for the Empire although it wasn't able to break a unit of huntsmen on it's charge.

Man/Unit of the Match: The Steam Tank.

Players & Armies: Caradryan's Host of Silence (High Elves, Kaïo) vs. Vampire Counts (Christophe Vercruysse).

Opponent: 6th "Iron" Legion of Nagaroth (Dark Elves, Tom Verdickt).
Points: 2100 points.
Outcome: Solid Victory for Dark Elves.
About the battle:

• The Dark Elves shooting proofed really effective against my (fast) cavalry.

• Although having to test on a -7 when charged by Falco and his bodyguard, the Dark Elves spearmen showed insane courage and held their ground. In the ensuing round the Empire was charged in the rear and the flank but eventually Falco proofed to be too hard nut to crack and saw off all his agressors.

• It took a small unit of harpies to hold up the entire Empire right flank up long enough to enable the cold one knights and a couple of surviving black guards to clean the Empire units on this right flank up.

• In the end only Falco and a mortar remained to face the Dark Elves...

Man/Unit of the Match: again Falco, the Peace Keeper. He killed 17 Dark Elves in total. That alone is enough for 34 CR points. As an advance Falco received a +1 WS.

Two of my heroes will miss the next battle. Iano, the Loud (a Kislev Boyar) has met his destiny and won't be returning this Campaign.
 

Players & Armies: Caradryan's Host of Silence (High Elves, Kaïo) vs. Dwarfs (Bram De Zutter).
Points: 1999 points.
Outcome: Massacre for the Dwarfs.
About the battle:

• Dragon Princes fail to break thunderers on the charge. Eventually the Dwarfs wipe out the High Elf horsemen.

• The High Elf magic phase lacks efficiency due to low rolls on the high casting value spells.

• The Dwarf warchine crews proofed to be viable targets for the repeater bolt throwers.

• The Organ Gun blasts away tthe unit Dragon Princes that threatens the rear of the Dwarven battle line.

• Eventually the solid Dwarf blocks proofed to be too strong for the High Elf formations.

Players & Armies:

• Empire (Kaïo)

Points: 2000 points.
Outcome:

• Saturday: 15th on 30 Contestants.

• Sunday: 1st on 30 Contestants.

General of the Sigmarite Relief Force: Falco, the Peace Keeper (Grandmaster)
Opponent: vs. Dark Elves (Laurent Mariën).
Points: 2000 points.
Outcome: Solid Victory for the Empire.
About the battle:

• Leus Gladjanus, the Trickster casted 'Law of Gold' in turn one and destroyed the Dark Elves general armour save. In turn two he was shot from his dragon which succeeded its monster reaction test.

• Out of 6 shots my outriders succeeded in rolling FOUR 7's to hit on shades in cover. 3 of them were killed.

• While flanked at one side by Black Guard and by a Hydra on the other the Steam Tank wins a round of combat. The Hydra breaks, causing panic in the nearby Shades.

• In his round 4 Laurent's Sorceress casts Chillwind on a value of 23. Having only 3 dispel dice left, I roll 17 (2x6 and 5) dispelling it irresistable.

• In the very last turn Falco and his knights are charged by a unit of 14 spearmen. At the same time 2 shades and a assassin charge the knights in the front. The spearmen kill one knight but the presence of the assassin allows Falco to challenge him. The assassin doesn't get past the armour of the grandmaster and in return is killed with an overkill of 2 wounds. Because of the Laurels of Victory the 4 wounds count as 8 for combat resolution having the Dark Elf units taking break tests on a -5...

Man/Unit of the Match: definitely Falco, the Peace Keeper. He won two challenges and single handedly won the battle in the last round.
 

Players & Armies: Caradryan's Host of Silence (High Elves, Kaïo) vs. Vampire Counts (Steven Van Broucke).
Points: 1999 points.

About the battle:

• In the first round an irresistable casting of Vaul's Unmaking destroys the Drakenhof Banner.

• A failure to dispel the Book of Arkhan (Damned, I still had a dispel scroll!!!) results in the Swordmasters being destroyed by the Black Knights. The Vampire Battle Standard however was killed.

• Steven was able to get his knight units above half unit size, not allowing me enough victory points to correct my error.

Players & Armies: Empire (Kaïo) vs. Vampire Counts (Thomas Jacobs).
Points: 2250 points.
Outcome: Massacre for the Empire.
About the battle:

• In Empire Turn 2 a Steam Tank and the War Altar can charge a unit of Ghouls containing the Vampire Count and Conrad von Carstein. After combat result only the two Vampires remain and the General has already suffered a wound.

• Blood Knights destroy a steam tank on their charge. I wasn't able to make a single 5+ save.

• The Archlector with two Vampires (including Conrad) in his front, Blood Knights in his flank and a zombies in the other flank, is relieved when flagellants charge in the flank of the zombies. With three martyrs (great rule!) they don't miss a single attack resulting in an enormeous combat-result. The Vampires and Blood Knights also die (again) from combat result.

Points: 2250 points.
Outcome: Solid Victory for the Greenskins.
About the battle:

• Getting Hatred & Frenzy out of Guzzla's Battle Brew a Black Orc Warboss on Wyvern with Shaga's Screaming Sword is an unnatural force. Charging into Greasus Goldtooth'unit he uttered a challenge. The accepting champion was cut down and the Overtyrant's was broken after having failed his 'insane courage'-break test. Two more units were ran down in a similar way by this Warlord.

• Grimgor and his bodyguard charge the Rhinox Riders and inflict enough wounds to let them take an insane courage test  in which the Ogres succeed. In the ensuing roug Grimgor is broken after a flank charge. After he fails his rally-test he is cut down.

Players & Armies: Hunters in the Dark (Vampire Counts, Kaïo) vs. Lizardmen (Jamie).
Points: 1999 points.
Outcome: Draw.
About the battle:

• Jamie made the mistake that he had 4 heroes in his list although only 3 are allowed; As it was for fun we played on anyway.
