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.

Tainted Blood of the Innocent - Round Up
The dust had settled and the armies fighting for
supremacy on the Tainted Blood of the Innocent table had either been victorious
or scattered in defeat. The Wood Elves had done well protecting Shael from the
horror of Malagor but the Elf couldn't find the infamous Beastman during the
battle - even though his corruptive presence was all consuming. The battalion
of Empire present at the battle had struck a deal with the Wood Elves to
protect her from harm but a mighty Terrorgheist had nearly brought her death
before she vanished from the table... Much too the beasts dismay. That was when
Shael was at her closest to finding Malagor and she could even see his matted
fur joining ranks with the undead, but the Terrorgheist had spoilt her revenge.
Malagor in the mean time had joined forces with the undead, as he wanted to surprise the tainted sister by not being part of the Beastmen ranks. But his plan back-fired, it seemed that the sister could sense his whereabouts, and after she fled the Terrorghiest Malagor knew he needed to take flight and find where she had vanished too in the mayhem.
Shael had retreated back to her allies lead by Lord Loec but they had been cut off by the unlikely combination of a Dark Elf and Lizardmen army standing in their way. The battle was already in full flight when she rematerialised on the battle field but Loec was standing strong against the onslaught and it wasn't long until Malagor took flight from his Vampire allies and made an alliegence with the Dark Elves of Naggaroth.
In the end however Shael escaped her death and Malagor remained unscathed in the combat. Shael's blood was still pumping and Malagor was still chasing her through the forest of dinge like a possessed monster.
The Wood Elves ended up taking victory after their dark brethren's battle prowess fell to pieces in front of them and the Lizardmen were also overturned due to the Wood Elves ability to run rings around their opponents. Although the victory was not a landslide and their were a fair few Dark Elf and Lizardmen infantry that would live to fight another day and in these dark times you need evey man you can get.
The Undead were victorious in a distant part of the Forest of Dinge and did well to repell a marauding unit of Gors and Minotaurs from ripping their entire battle line apart. However the Mortis Engine stepped in and struck fear into the Gor making them flee and chasing them down. The Empire were unlucky as they had set up a line of the finest Empire marksmen only for them not to get much decent shooting away. In the end however their was a last ditch attempt to claim the centre of the table as Gorgarronn and his Bestigors piled into a unit of Flagellants only to be flanked by Halberdiers. In the end a stalemate but the forces if U death had stolen the victory.

Shaar's Wrath - Ben's Round-Up
So the first part of the Months End games has been played and Ben has successfully defended the Cursed Orb again. Shaar the vampire is in serious trouble now, Mannfred will surely know that he has failed him... Melvin's Wood Elves ran it close and I'll post his round-up of the game when he gets it too me. On with the report:
Pre-Game
Mel tried to steal turn 1 and failed on a 5.
Having lost to him recently with a combat army using vanguards and knowing he had to attack me to get the orb I went with a gunline - 4 warmachines and 2 units of quarrelers with two combat blocks and 4 gyros. He went his usual mix of scout / archer units, a big unit of Eternal Guard with stubborn, 3 Treekin, a dragon and rider, 2 eagles , 2 wardancer units, a lvl 4 on life (or whichever the one with dwellers is) . He also had an ambushing treeman and a unit of dryads with another mage in them. Shaar went with a unit of wardancers.
Early game
The dwarf warmachines with help from a brand new master engineer opened up some devastating fire killing the dragon with the first stone from a grudgethrower. The scout archer units were hit hard by organ gun fire whilst the gyros tried to block the eagles and failed miserably with their bombing runs. Knowing he'd place a poisoned wood in the middle of my deployment zone I took the rune of safe passage on my Lord with the ironbreakers and placed them in it safe from the dangerous terrain tests.
He charged in a unit of archers into my organ gun and an eagle into my gyro on the left. His combat blocks moved up towards mine and my quarrelers. He moved his treekin around the right flank slowly towards a unit of longbeards waiting there.
Not much magic the first few turns - I tried to eat dwellers and failed.
His scouts killed my organ gun and ran into my engineer. I sent a second gyro in to help him. My 2nd organ gun kills his other eagle. More fire from all my units thins his combat blocks down further and I start trying to drop grudgethrower rocks onto his level 4 but Look out Sir keeps saving him.
Turns 2-4
I wipe out his chaff (2 eagles, 2 skirmisher units) for the loss of 2 gyros, a master engineer and an organ gun but still have 2 grudgethrowers and an organ gun (all runed up) left and now he has no chaff to throw at them. His 2 units of wardancers with characters charge my 2 units of quarrelers who stand and shoot.
His big unit of Eternal Guard charge my Lord with Ironbreakers frontally whilst his ambushing Treeman who can charge the turn he arrvies!!! charges them in the rear! Ugly! His treekin charge my Longbeards who fear nothing being old grumblers! The longbeards combat res the treekin easily and run them down before reforming. The main combat is my Lord with ironbreakers and runesmith, versus his treeman and Eternal Guard. The ironbreakers and lord outmatch the spearmen (but he keeps getting off the toughness buff on them with stops me tearing through them). The treemans thunderstomps do the most damage. He wins combat 4 or 5 rounds in a row but my banner makes me stubborn.
The big unit of quarrelers wipe out the wardancers and importantly the dragon rider to get all those lovely points! The other quarrelers get wiped out by wardancers with the vamp.
The big play comes turn 4 where my now free gryo flies to his backfield and flames his archer unit hiding his sniper and level 4. It removes enough models so Look out Sir no longer applies. My two grudgethrowers hit perfectly wiping out his level 4 and sniper instantly and killing the last archers. Unbelievably his dryads and caster fail to roll the 3+ ambush roll all game and never turn up! So he's left with only the vampire as a mage on the table.
In the main combat I charge my longbeards into this remaining Eternal Guard flank and he charges them in the flank with his remaining wardancer unit and characters. In the last round of combat we had time to complete my ironbreakers are finally wiped out defending their Lord nobly for so many turns even though they had a treeman in the rear and 3 ranks of Eternal Guard with toughness 5 or 7 depending on buffs pretty much the whole game. Losing the ironbreakers meant my lord was no longer stubborn but thanks to the charge by the longbeards I'm able to wipe out his Eternal Guard and win combat by 3 or 4., 1 of his units with characters in flees leaving the treeman facing my Lord and runesmith and the longbeards about to reform to face the vampire.
Had we played a final turn and his dryads arrived it would have been close as he would have tried to combat res kill my Lord but we had to call it then.

Gameweek 5 - Round Up
GAMEWEEK 5
So we're already half way through month 2 and the games are heating up! We've also got a few new additions to the campaign that I'll be detailing soon, including Henry (Skaven), Janek (Bretonnia), Sam (Empire) and Gareth (Orcs & Goblins). They're all starting up their Warhammer hobbies and will be cutting a name for themselves in the campaign to start earning the Gold! So without any further adew here are the games:
Melvin (Wood Elves) vs Mark (Beastmen)
Darklands
Wood Elves Victory
The Darklands rule proved useful for the Beastmen, but in the end the Wood Elves outwitted and outshot the lousy beasts.
Hendrik (Vampire Counts) vs Will S (Lizardmen)
Desert
Vampire Counts Victory
Looked very close, but Hendrik squeezed a victory at the end.
James (Dark Elves) vs Ben (Dwarfs)
Forested
Dark Elves Victory
After loosing his Cauldron of Blood early on, the Dark Elves managed to clinch the victory. However the Dwarfs have fought a lot of Elves recently!
Simon (Lizardmen) vs Francis (Empire)
Unknown?
Empire Victory
Looks like House Gausser is becoming a force to be reckoned with! Stay tuned!!!

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.

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!

meditation seeking council from her patron Isha goddess of the earth she
receives the much awaited revelation…Destruction and the end of the
Asari way of life is on the horizon.
This
catastrophe couldn’t of came at a worse time for the Asari, it is the
onset of winter Orion ashes has just been scatters in the eternal glade
and he will not be reborn again until the summer, most of the Treeman

After returning home from a hunting expedition to find his family

dedicates the next hundred years of his existence to punishing those
with deadly consequences who would dear to threaten the safety of Atheil
Loren.
While
gaining much renown for always being at the forefront of the most
dangerous battles or turning back raiding forest spirits out of the Wild
Wood that’s managed to slip by the magical defences of the Wood Elf
realm. Loec eventually comes to be known by the Asari as The Shadow
in patronage to the elven god of Shadows, whether this is due to the
fact the tragic events of his life that have left a shadow over his
heart or the zeal in which he puts Atheil Lorens enemies to the sword
none can say but it is a brave elf indeed who can bare to hold contact
with his pain filled stare…
After
many years of solitude and bloodshed Loec becomes disillusioned and
unfulfilled with life in Atheil Loren, finally deciding after much
deliberation to leave his home and start a fresh. What starts as
whispered rumours of his leaving, spreads like wildfire through the
populace and what started as one mans journey for a fresh start or even
possible redemption…soon becomes a political movement to start a new
Wood elf colony for those likeminded elves and forest spirits who either
through boredom, grief or seeking fame & fortune wish for a new
start away from Atheil Loren flock to his banner.
Summoned
to the court of the Ever Queen on the eve of his departure Loec is
greeted in person by the lady of the wood, mesmerised by the majesty of
the God Isha incarnate he stares dumb founded into her deepless green
eyes and there he sees visions of the destruction of Atheil Loren, his
people scattered to the wind like grains of sand and the Oak of eternity
that gives all Loren it's power broken and scorched at his feet, he see
the End of all things
"Loec
you must defend our sacred realm from the impending darkness from
without while we prepare from within...but it is winter, Orion slumbers
and we are weak. You must give us the time to muster our defences if
this disaster is to be averted, our fate lies in your hands.
It
is a heavy burden I charge you with but do not despair my son for I
impart on you these acorns from the Eternal Oak so while you are a far
from Athel Loren the forest will always be with you."
With unerring determination and a will of iron the Shadow Troupe Of Loec depart to avert the impending darkness...

Eldrazor bow.
Regions
Name: The Forest of Loren
Region: Forested
Rule: Entangled Wood
History: Athel Loren is the magical realm of the Wood Elves and is the oldest Forest in the Old World.
It is a magical, but dark and haunted place where malicious spirits
roam through the twisted undergrowth and tiny darting shapes flit
between the trees on the edge of vision. The Forest itself is like a
single consciousness and is aware of all that occurs within its
boundaries. It is perfectly willing to crush any that enter its borders,
whether they have evil intentions or not.
Name: The Brionne Marshes
Region: Marshes
Rule: Perilous Advance
History:
The river Brionne enter Athel Loren from the South creating great marsh
land for miles around protecting the Forests south eastern border. Many
a desperate enemy has tried to negotiate this perilous terrain to
approach Athel Loren unawares only to find themselves bogged down and
easy targets for the bows of the Wood Elves.
Name: The Dessert of Woe
Region: Dessert
Rule: Incinerating Heat
History:
It is one of Loec most successful strategies to have his enemies chase
his mobile army into the scorching heat of the dessert to then turn
around and riddle them with arrows while they struggle to keep up the
moment of their charge in the incinerating heat of The dessert of Woe,
before returning to the safety of forest once again.
