I have to add a caveat here that this Battle Report was typed up by my brother from his own notes. Normally I try to make my shorthand more flowery once I'm in here typing but I wasn't at this game so I can't actually do that here. So that said, here is my brother's bare bones extremely efficient battle report...



This was my niece’s first game with actual pint values. She was uncomfortable making a list, so I made both lists. This is basically a teaching battle where I gave her suggestions of what I would do throughout the battle. Niece is Beastmen and I am dwarfs.

Brayshaman’s two spells are Bear’s anger and Enrapturing Spasms (Slaanesh)


BT1- Everything moves forward full. Brayshaman casts irresistible force with Slaanesh spell, but out of range.


DT1- Nonshooty Dwarfs move forward about half. Slayers move full speed to the right toward the giant.

Cannon causes two wounds on giant.


BT2- No chargers. Everything moves forward full or slows just out of dwarf charge range. Giant turns and goes back other direction of terrain (smart move as the slayers aren’t as nimble).

Ambush unit emerges directly behind battle line.

Brayshaman casts Slaanesh spell successfully, but it is dispelled.


DT2- Slayers turn back around for Giant, but lost a lot of ground. Rangers move three inches forward to throw their axes. Rangers kill two ungors.

Cannon kills one ungor as bad artillery rolls leave shot short of giant.

Minotaurs kill 3 warriors and BSB. Warriors still win with Musician tiebreaker. Minotaurs pass break-check.

Herd Ambush Sandwich. Wargor challenges. Thane kills Wargor. Dwarfs lose combat by 4, fail break-test and are caught and wiped out. Ambush unit passes test to restrain.
