Battle report - Goblins and Dwarves

[getagrip]

Looks like a cracking battle.

The minis look amazing

Nice game and report, very nicely painted armies. My Dad has completed enough drwarfs and goblins for a game this Sunday so we will see how we fair with our game.

Good luck!

I'm liking that a shooty army can't just sit back and blast the enemy off the table.

We have found this a bit too often with some of our fantasy games.

Warmaster may have its detractors but that's one thing you can't do.

Liking the look of Warband more and more

I've updated the blog post to pick of the worst offending typos and add in a bit of detail.

Didn't really notice typos, was too busy ogling the minis

Nice, I like the detail you have added to your thought process.......obviously I will be studying this, so I can beat you again next time!  

Seriously though, it was as though something clicked prior to the game and now that we are no longer playtesting, so I don't need to think about breaking the rules, I can actually concentrate on tactics. I like the way that an army can be played in different ways, so your opponent can never be sure exactly what you are bringing to the table....this time I tried to use the magic, but Goblins can also be fielded as a skirmish army, with a core of wolf riders, or as a solid wall of green, or...well...you get the idea!

I have a dragonmen army to paint up now, which seems to be very different in style again to the green horde, with plenty of options!

Indeed.

There are 12 army lists, but many more armies.

I was never the greatest fan of fantasy, but having read the rules (about six times now) I can see great possibilities of producing a myriad of different armies.  (I am sure Leon is already sick to death of me saying well I want to order so-and-so because I want to build this kind of army, or worse still me asking what figure could I use to represent so-and-so on a base.     )

great report and a pair of beautiful and well painted and composed armies, this is a great advert for the game and miniatures!

Superb looking armies. Big bases really show off 10mm.

Should be around 50:50.  2d6 needing 4+ on each die. 

er... more like .25 or 25%... (.5 x .5)

I'm sure that's what you meant though

To put it in context for the original question, that is the chance of them not moving at all in a turn. There is a 75% chance they will move *some* distance each turn. To fail repeatedly as BrotherCrow did is impressively bad! ;^D
