Good battle with ogres & high elves.

I think a damage lore like fire or heavens would have worked better than light, maybe even High magic as High magic the signature spell is the Shield of Saphery (?) and ward saves on units would have helped against impact hits- in rolling well theory.

Another eagle is in order.

[Djekar]

He did have High Magic, he just prioritized the Shadow Magic more highly.

[TsukeFox]

Ooh! The magic item just granted light magic as well?

[Djekar]

Oops, I forgot that he had Shadow and Light - I was just thinking of a different game I guess. Yeah, when his spells were all buffs/hexes I felt a little bad - I mean those are great spells, but sometimes you really need to fireball something.

Yeah, I definitely decided to try something different this time. Really, if I would have cast Pha's it would have been jut as good as a 5++, I just wasn't prioritizing my spells right at the end. Having Fury of Khaine would have been nice, but so would casting The Withering on his unit. I guess the biggest difference is the spells like fireball would let me stay out of combat, which against Ogres is always the better choice, lol.

[Djekar]

Ogres are ridiculously great at killing infantry - so ridiculously great that I try to avoid combat with them as long as possible unless I'm buffed up to the tee - even with Chris' perpetually bad luck.

[Jamesc1v2]

Yeah, I learned that lesson....although I should have known since people have told me countless times before, something about remembering?

[TsukeFox]

Very cool that the drawbridge makes the sound effect of a drawbridge lowering.

Pretty hard to delay the sieger, what are your thoughts, Djekar, on going offensive next time with like a Hydra out the front door?

[Djekar]

Bump for the next campaign turn finally being up. Also, if you check out our youtube channel, we have a few 2500 point games to view as well. Enjoy!

Waaagh General Jody!!

I think the 8th edition books allow the player to make mistakes more as oppose to the 6th & 7th edition books.

[Djekar]

Well certainly the Orcs are more forgiving than Elves of all stripes, that is for sure. Stupid army-wide Toughness 3 and 5+ armor...

[Djekar]

Bumpity Bump for the games in turn 9...

[TsukeFox]

The only thing I can suggest for General Jody is to try lore o Heavens so that Harmonic Convergence can save him from bad dice rolling.

[Jamesc1v2]

Hmm, that's not a bad idea as often as I roll ones . I think higher point games would be easier too as I can field more magic and do thinks like double Pha's protection.

[Djekar]

Updated the first post with another game. We did turn 10 this past week, so that should be up soon as well, along with the games that are happening. And if I am a very good Dark Elf player maybe another tournament prep game.

[TsukeFox]

Mad props for the "Lore of Dark Magic Cards."

[TsukeFox]

In the latest battle of Liazardman vs Dark Elves for the Watchtower it really shows that one must be conscious of the charge range enemy units.

Further buff units must be eliminated-even though the shades pose a threat, the real target for the camo-skinks is the "Cauldron of Pleasure."

[Djekar]

That thing is so good, I bumped it up in the paint order - I'm trying to get it (not the handlers) finished this week along with my black guard.

[Toshiro]

looks like a lot of fun!

[Djekar]

Bump for all of the Turn 10 Games as well as campaign turn 11. Turn 11 may take longer than anticipated - with the beginning of school for some of us, new births, the onset of Fantasy Football and work traveling, it may be midway through September before we get back on track. I'll keep you posted if we get any reports of exhibition games in though!
