Got to try out a list with the new book today Vs. CB.
Since it was an off game I took a semi hard funny list to play around with some of the new stuff.
30 Nurgle warriors with halberds.
Festus with the unit to give it 5 up regen and poison attacks.
Archaon also in the unit because hes badass.
And a lvl 2 nurgle mage.
The rest of the army was 2 Chariots and 2 Chimeras.
All my punch was in that one unit. Figured it would be fun to see what it could do in combat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CB brought the following,
Cannon
2 grudge throwers
2 organ guns.
2 runelords with a power dice stealing rune and two dispel runes.
About 30 thunderers
A unit of crossbowman
A unit of longbeards about 40 strong with the lord on shieldbearers
Bsb with some random dwarf stuff.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seriously man? This is a friendly list? I call BS. Book standard gunline build.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I did get to fight a bit, very little bit, since 70 % of my army got blown off the table before I could get over to his castle he had made in the corner to hide in.
Archaon did as expected. Although the amount of 1's I rolled to hit with him were pretty gross. The unit of warriors went from 30 to 12 before I ever got to fight. Still bloodied the nose of his warriors pretty well. But this game was over as soon as he deployed. I really had no way to compete with a gun line. I wasn't expecting him to bring that kid of list. So my single monsters and chariot all fell to cannon fire fairly easily.
Next time I will be ready, I always expect him to take more fluffy fun lists, but the last 4 or 5 have been pretty teeth kicking. So I am going to have to give in and respond in kind. Next time it will be filth vs filth. I won't be getting any more dwarf enemas, those days are done.
Unleash the filth .. the storm is coming..
