The Daemon's Claw

 Brought to you by "I ain't afraid of no ghosts". Alan's Orks are trying to stomp the ghosts. Here is a Persians vs Egyptians fighting for control of the Sinai peninsula.  I gave the ghosts the first turn. This is normally a good move because it allows the chaos warriors to move up and charge people of the objectives in the first turn. However, I underestimated the speed of the Ghosts and they were able to charge me on their first turn. Accordingly, I spent most of the game fighting in my deployment zone. Here is the ghost commander and spirit hosts. they both give each other a buff so it's likely you will see them together. Ouch the Ghost squad put the hurt on some chaos Warriors. These Ghosts arrive and start wacking the chaos warriors. They do manage to get through some wounds Obligingly the ghosts on this side roll a double 1 and so don't charge. This allows the chariot to counter charge and kill one with a clip clop of sharp hooves the Chaos knights arriv...

 Next up after the Skaven were the Moonclan Goblins. These are a new faction developed for AOS. The Goblins went first and then the Chaos Warriors and Lord charged them to show them the error of their ways. The Chariot charged into a unit of Goblins. The other Chaos Warriors went into the Trolls. The forces of chaos got to take the double turn on turn 2. The Knights arrived and the chaos warriors parted to give them a nice charge lane. They promptly rolled a 4 and didn't charge. This resulted in the trolls engaging the whole of the chaos army. It took forever to kill them. Fortunately, the Chaos lord can do Crit Mortals so managed to kill off half the trolls by himself while holding onto the MoonClan boss with his other hand. In turn three the moon moved to the other side of the table and the Trolls lost its blessing and got easier to kill Freed up from Killing the trolls and the goblins the Knights and chariot raced back and tried to kill off the Squigs that had teleported into th...

 Alan very kindly organised a Spearhead event on day 2 of the May 2-day meeting. So, 7 of us got together for 3 games of Spearhead. I Played Nick and his Skaven. It was Nick's first game and my 4th.  Here are the two armies deployed. The Chaos Warriors took the first turn. The chariot and one unit of warriors charge across the table. The Chariot assassinates the Warplock engineer but is then ripped apart by the Rat Ogres. The Chaos Warriors slaughter innumerable clan rats but they keep coming back. The other Chaos Warriors and the Lord are holding the central objective. The Skaven skitter around the ruined wall. The Clan Rats make a move to capture the central objective while the Warlord looks on from the preferred position of Skaven Leadership. They bounced pretty hard while the other Rats snuck onto the other side of the objective to try and drown it in Bodies. The Rat Ogres had killed 4 chaos Warriors in their turn, so they Rallied and 3 of the 4 casualties got better. The ...
