Moshpit Madness
1000 Points Khador vs Trolls all on for a blood bath. The Troll casters were Epic Madrak and the Singing Cow. Khador Casters were Epic Butcher and Sorcha the Ice Queen! First turn saw both armies advance, pretty much right up to the edge of the Mosh Pit. Turn 2 Khador charged, and what a charge it was… if there was something to miss, the troops missed, Doomer Reavers, Fenris, Uhlans, Grey Lords… sum total was 3 dead Kriel warriors. The Trolls counter attacked, and that was pretty much the same, everything missed, by the end of turn 2 and full on combat there were about 5 models dead. Sad!
.
Turn 3 kicked off and Khador went into full “clear the pit” mode, and this time Khador killed stuff! Some Trolls they killed 2 or 3 times before they went down. The last Troll in the Mosh Pit managed to survive all the normal attacks and three more attacks from Feeling some Hate.. Turn 3 Trolls, an attempt to clean up Khador left the Doom Reavers mauled but alive, the Uhlans very mauled and Beast 09 a smoking wreck, on top of that Butcher took a few hits too. And that was with Madraks nasty feat kicking in too. Luckily the Singing Cow was too far back to do much and moved up and didn’t howl and screach…thankfully

Turn 4 The Ice Queen turned on the ice maker and froze everything in the Mosh Pit and a fair number of models beyond too. The Doom Reavers mashed a unit of Champions bar one, which was awfully good fun. Drago then proceeded to hack to tiny pieces the Slag Troll, and The Butcher himself charged in to finish off the Last Kriel stone warrior…and blocked the charge lane of the last Uhlan who was needed to take out the last Troll in the Pit. Butcher cast a desperate spell, missed and it was left to the Behometh to nail the last Blue skin. Moves, fires, hits… the Troll toughs it, second shot, no repeat of limbs reattaching and it’s victory Khador!.

Granted winning always makes a difference, but the Mosh Pit scenario is a blast. We played 12 minute turns with a 1000 point army, no time for over thinking. Trolls suffered from lack of time to move all the models, while the more compact Khador army generally managed to activate in full (plus had 100 points of Kossites off the board that never got used). Mosh Pit brings out the best in War Machine, full on heavy metal blood bath!
