Gameweek 11 - Round Up

GAMEWEEK 11

Sorry for the delay on getting this round-up out the door, Gameweek 12 will also follow this post. It was a quiet week for this one as a lot of people were off enjoying the fruits of christmas parties so only 2 games were played but they were just as important nonetheless.

Melvin (Wood Elves) vs Simon (Lizardmen)
Unknown Region
Wood Elf Victory
Melvin has gone on to extend his lead at the top, however this game looked close until Melvin managed to turn everything around at the death.

Gareth (Orcs & Goblins) vs Jack (Bretonnia) vs Mark (Beastmen)
Triumph & Treachery
Unknown Region
Orc & Goblin Victory
Gareth is quickly becoming our guilds T&T master and has gained his title Mr T&T like a boss. The game was complete carnage and the majority of combats ended up being one corner of the table with Jack's Bretonnian's charging the full length of the table whilst the Beastmen turned around to stomp on them.

OVERALL STANDINGS
Melvin     43
Hendrik    34
Francis     34
Ben     30
Simon     28
Mark     25
Jack    23
James     22
Will B     17
Henry     14
Gareth    14
Will S     10
Sam     10

The Cursed Orb - Round Up

THE CURSED ORB - ROUND UP

So the Cursed Orb has been found! And found by none other than Ben and his mighty Dwarfs who managed to smite a Scar-Veteran within the Crypt at the last moment. Additionally everybody else managed to get involved as the Orb cast lightning onto the other tables, blowing up units and ruining battle plans... Sorry about that! If anybody has any reports or thoughts about the games that they played and would like to post them here then send them over too me and I'll make sure they're here for everyone to read over. We had three definite players on the Cursed Orb Scenario table, however we had to have a 'General Off!' to determine who else would be joining them as Simon, WillB & Hendrik all had a joint total of 8 Gold. This meant that their finest champions had to fight each other man on man (or Ogre on Vampire), and the victor would make their way to the big game - which left Simon Scar-Veteran victorious as he took no damage and dealt a lot out in return.

THE CURSED ORB SCENARIO - PLAYERS

Ben (Dwarfs)
Spent - 6 Gold

Melvin (Wood Elves)
Spent 15 Gold!!!

James (Dark Elves)
Spent 9 Gold

Simon (Lizardmen)
Spent ? Gold

Ben and Melvin made an allegiance, whilst James and Simon also raised arms together on the other side of the table. The Crypt was placed in the centre of the table and as far as I could tell, all hell broke loose! When the players have done a write up of the game I'll post it here for everybody to read, however in the end Ben's Dwarf Lord Magnar fought long and hard but eventually smote Simon's Scar-Vet down low. The Orb has been captured by the mighty dwarf throng of Grimlokson!!!

Congratulations to Ben, I'm sure the other players will be seeking swift revenge in the weeks to come.

ROAD TO THE ORB SCENARIO - PLAYERS

Francis (Empire)
Spent - 0 Gold

Hendrik (Vampire Counts)
Spent - 0 Gold

Will B (Ogre Kingdoms)
Spent - 0 Gold

Jack (Bretonnia)
Spent - 0 Gold

Sam (Empire)
Spent - 0 Gold

Mark (Beastmen)
Spent - 0 Gold

Nobody spent any gold for these scenarios as it seemed everyone was 'banking' on future games... Could be a beneficial choice, we shall see! We all managed to get 1 game completed, and each of us managed another half a game until we had to head off to the restaurant.

Francis (Empire) vs Hendrik (Vampire Counts)
Francis managed to sniper Hendrik's Vampire on Turn 2. Ouch! Time to crumble away...
Empire Victory

Jack (Bretonnia) vs Sam (Empire)
Knight on Knight action, but the knights in multicoloured fleur de lys won this one!
Bretonnia Victory

Will B (Ogre Kingdoms) vs Mark (Beastmen)
One word... CARNAGE
Beastmen Victory

Hendrik (Vampire Counts) vs Will B (Ogre Kingdoms)
These guys managed a few turns but in the end called it a draw.
Draw

Francis (Empire) vs Jack (Bretonnia)
These guys managed a few turns but as far as I'm aware called it a draw.
Draw

Gareth (Beastmen) vs Sam (Empire)
Gareth took control of the Beastmen with a bit of assistance and we managed two turns before we had to call time.
Draw

OVERALL STANDINGS

Les Chevaliers de Celine - The Players

PLAYER NAME
Jack Silby

ARMY TITLE
Les Chevaliers de Celine


CAMPAIGN GENERALS
Name: Celine (Champagne General)
Army Entry: Prophetess
Signature Item: Dispel Scroll
As with almost all antecedent prophetesses’, Celine was born with strange powers. Able to apparently see through solid walls and predict future events with unnerving accuracy. Eventually the Fay took her into the Otherworld. When she returned many years later, her eyes had glazed over turning a brilliant white. The knightly host of the minor lord Roland II eventually began to worship Celene as a Saint once she had uncovered the Lords’ corruption by dark magic of unknown origin. Recently her visions grow strange and more apocalyptic, her host rides to uncover the meaning of her cryptic predictions.

Name: Roland de Montagne (Champagne Lieutenant)
Army Entry: Paladin
Signature Item: Enchanted Shield
The disgraced son of a Roland II, he is the denied the lord’s title which was owed by right. He is both mistrusted and feared as a potential usurper, except by Celine and a few chosen Knights of the Realm. This swells his determination to find the origin of his father’s corruption, as well as the darkness that creeps across the kingdom. He is the host’s current battle standard bearer.

Name: Alfred the Black (Champagne Lieutenant)
Army Entry: Paladin
Signature Item: Gromril Great Helm  
A Paladin of exceptional bravery, Alfred has been knocked from his horse more than once in the heat of battle. He lives as a knight extoling the virtues of his station, distaining the filthy peasants below him. His martial pride and noble distain give course for other members of the nobility to see him as aloof and arrogant.  


REGIONS
Fields of Soisson (Pure Earth – re-roll panic checks for forces of order)
The grazing land of the peasants, the Fields of Soisson form the heart of the kingdoms agricultural base

Clamsterly Forest (Entangles Woods – at least 3 woods placed - controlling player chooses nature of their mystery)
A forest of deep magic and mysterious goings on. Many peasants claim to have seen fay living within its depths, though generally it is seen as a safer to leave these rumours unconfirmed. 

Cedar Gorge (Focussed Advance – Battle of the pass scenario + random boulders)
The ancient gate to the kingdom, its soil hides the remnants of many past battles.
