Four Way Hordes Warmachine Melee
Wednesday saw the forces of Khador, Pirates, Trolls and Skorne take to the battle field as they fought to secure an ancient stone circle in the center of the battle field. Pirates (Kris) were sided with Trolls (Kobby) and Khador (Chris) with Skorne (Wuffy) , or on a visual front : Fast and numerous versus slow and compact.
.
The game was 750, 8 minute turns. Victory on VPs for holding the stone circle.
.
Right from the start it was obvious that it was going to be hard to stop Kris from dominating the game as his pirates deployed forward and charged into the circle on turn one while Khador was bogged down in rough Terrain and the Trolls engaged Skorne. By turn 3 the Pirat Skorne alliance were already far far ahead on VPs for holding the circle, when by a stroke of good fortune (for Skorne) Epic Madrak was found exposed, Harpooned and then beaten to death, removing the Troll warbeasts from the battle.
.
However even with their chief gone the Trolls continued to give Skorne a headache, though the tide gradually turned as the Champions and fell callers fell leaving the Trolls with just a Kriel warriors.
.
Meanwhile Khador finally had arrived at the circle and engaged the Pirates in a bloody mop up operation that left the ground strewn with corpses especially when the Beast pulled off our gaming groups first ever really successful Trample manouver leaving squashed pirates all over the place. However even with the Pirates and Trolls dying in droves, it was all too late and they won by a massive VP margin from occupying the circle early and in numbers.
.
Victory to Pirates and Trolls, though Skorne and Khador took grim delight in the fact that the enemy was horribly mauled and gasping their last breaths when the game ended.
