2500 Tomb Kings vs Ogres Anthem Games Warhammer Battle Report

[Earthenfist]

An interestingly mellow batrep, though I have to wonder at the Tomb Kings player- I can understand forgetting the Scorpions once, but twice? And what in the world was he thinking, leaving his Chariots and Ushabti in the battle line? Especially when the Ogres marched right up to him, he could easily have gotten a chariot charge off.

Yeah plenty of stomps used incorrectly but I love how ya'll present your videos

Good vid... good matchup! Just wish some rules were fixed, like the guy below said:

@7:18 magic phase, he fails to cast 2 spells, and attempts a 3rd. How many mages did he have? Missing a casting = loss of concentration = wizard can't cast anymore this turn. He had 3 wizards?

Driyou already said, but @11:25 Combat: Ogres stomping Chariots and Ushabti? You can only stomp "Infantry". Not chariots or monstrous infantry.

@dradney what?

@1313owner *facepalm* = My face... in my palm = the universal internet response meaing "Doh, my bad. Thanks for the help. I'm a fool" :)

@dradney Yeah, stomps went a little haywire and I might have been incorrect with some, but at times (often actually) it's difficult to decipher and I do the best I can. I am certain that the Tomb Kings had two casters and the casket so even with both casters failing, the casket should still be able to use its bound abilities.

@VidhammerFantasy LO SIENTO! My bad... all good. :) Keep'em comin'

That dude's mega-belly is distracting ^~^ lol

Thanks for the batrep.

Stomps/Thunderstomps only work on swarms, infantry, and war beasts. So they shouldn't have done those to the bone giant, etc

I also think you can only ever throw 6 dice max for the caskets spell.

Did the TK player keep failing to cast his spells cause he was just being way too cheap with the dice, or just real bad luck?

@driyou In our home games we try to keep the gameplay as accurate as we can but at tournaments it's all up to the people playing. I had a by on this particular round and spent a good deal of time sitting in a chair in the background. :)
