The following is the Batrep for a game my brother played on Sunday. I’ve copy pasted everything necessary and will post in his own words…


Battle is between Uncle and Niece in her second game and first time making her own list. Niece is High Elves and Uncle is Lizards.

We diced off and rolled for Meeting Engagement. Niece also set up terrain. It was a little sparse, but no big deal. Elf Mage rolls for spells and gets Fireball and Fiery blast from the Lore of Fire. Skink Priest rolls and gets Second Sign of Amul and Forked Lightning. Lizards won choosing table side and choice to deploy first or second- chose first.

Complete massacre with no elves left. Uncle wins this battle. Niece won first battle of Beasts and Dwarfs and she killed every last dwarf model. We are now 1-1 with all massacres.



WOW.
I’d call this brutal but that’d be an understatement. Either way, a good game was played and a set up for the tie breaker is more than likely inbound.

On a side note my brother found her math to be off by almost 50 points, not that it helped the game much but if anyone else spots the discrepancy know that was already discovered…
