I'd like to put some concluding thoughts in, but I'm just glad to be
one at this time. Maybe Thanatos73 will chime in and help me out with this.

Nice! We need more WM/H batreps - I hope to contribute myself once I get together a somewhat less cobbled-together 500 (WHFB figures from 1995 as proxies kinda suck). How much did you find taking pictures slowed your game? Did you take notes as well?

I hate fighting pirates, and Bart's feat is just miserable, but kudos on the win nonetheless.

Oh, and tell Thanatos to get painting!

Thanatos has mostly painted stuff, if I recall correctly. It's
just those Precursors and the Storm Lances.

Very entertaining. More please.

Yeah, Thanatos! Paint your minis, you slacker!

Dfo,

Just wait until you see a battle report with oomiestompa in
it. You won't even know what hit you.

Reading the report now, slowly as I'm at work so I'm reading it in pieces. It was a fun game, even though I shouldn't have slammed Bart at the end. Oh well, knocking the rust off.

And post the second report, where most of my models are painted!

Edit: And damn about not being at 1/4 armor for the Hunter. Oh well, it was my first game in a very long time, so there were bound to be things I forgot. And that damn slam! Oh well, Pirates are a fun fight at any rate.

At least until you have to deal with the Shae Bum Rush.

Luke if you post your thoughts on the army and anything
specific, I can edit the article to include it. Or you can
include it if you brave the article editing system.

What are you looking for? Just general thoughts? Ideas on tactics? Thoughts on the armies? Anything else?

Yeah. Anything you think of. List construction and battle
plan might work. The only plan I had was Shoot, Shoot,
Shoot!

Ok, I'll edit some stuff in. And post the other report so I have something else to comment on tonight at work.

The second one is up, it's just not typed. You can see the
order of the photos here:

Let me know if you need help with the wiki.

A couple of notes on Bart after re-reading his rules.

Overtake triggers whenever Bart kills something with a melee attack. Since it doesn't include a condition like "this turn" or "this activation", it will trigger when Bart kills someone with a free strike.
Blood-Quenched would trigger too, as it has the same wording. I know you didn't catch this, as there aren't any extra beads next to Bart in the photo after he killed those Long Gunners.

Finally, he has some rule (Victory Howl?) where when he kills something in melee, enemy models in his CMD range must pass a CMD check or flee. I didn't see this in the write-up, so I thought I'd mention this incase you missed it.

blood-quenched reads that it occurs during his activation,
but you're right, I forgot to use Victory Howl.

Oops.

Hmm. They must have changed that in between NQ 15 and the Pirate Book.

Yeah, they like to do that. Anyway, I rolled on Victory
Howl here at home. The Long Gunners rolled an 8, so I'm
assuming they stayed
