Okay so this is my first game with new TK and I'm not 100% sure about all rules coz I don't have the book (thanks for everyone who told me the rules )
I was playing against Juihi's dwarfs and he is new to WHFB (just like me) so both lists are probably bad, but I hope you enjoy this batrep anyway.

My list:

High priest, LVL4 wizard, power stone
Prince, Glittering scales, Sword of swift slaying
Necrotect,, Armour of fortune
30 skellies, command
3 chariots, command
3 ushabti, command

That should be 1002p (he was okay with 2 extra points)

His list:

Dwarf Lord, shield, shieldbearers, rune of fury, rune of cleaving
25 warriors, shields, command
25 miners, champ, standard
organ gun
organ gun

That should be 1003p (I was okay with that)

Terrain:
1 hill in both deployment zones and 2 other hills about middle

Deployment:
I deploy my skellies in the center, ushabtis next to them and chariots far left (all characters go to skellies)
He deploys his warriors (with lord) opposite of skellies and organ guns on hill, near my chariots (miners enter with that special rule... underground advance?)

I roll my Spells and they are..... 1,2,3,6!
that means: KB spell, Ward save spell, extra attack spell and (games worst) magical vortex
I change vortex to sig spell.

I won the roll-off to go first

TK turn 1:

I advance and all spells are dispelled (lol?) and chariots shoot crewman down from 1 organ gun.

Dwarfs turn 1:

warriors advance and organ guns shoot my chariots and only champ with 1 wound survives.... ouch!

TK turn 2:

Ushabti charge warriors AND chariots fail charge...(some bad dice rolling there )
I cast KB to ushabti and with power stones extra attack for everyone within 24" (chariot champ is now fully healed, YEAY!)
In CC Lord challenges ushabti champ and I must accept. His lord takes 2 wounds from my champ and KB him!!! hehee
warriors do nothing and other ushabti kill 4. So I win 9-5, but he passes LD test...

Dwarf turn 2:

Miners Doesn't come yet.
Organ guns kill my last chariot and 4 skellies.
In CC dwarfs wound twice and I fail to save any.. Then I kill few warriors and win by 5, AND AGAIN he passes his LD test

TK turn 3:

Skellies advance.
I cast ward save for my ushabti, and champ gains 1 wound back.
In CC I kill few..... Dwarfs do wound or two and I lose, only champ with 2 wounds left now.

Dwarfs turn 3:
Miners Come!
He shoots and kills 6 skellies
Wariiors kill my last ushabti.... He reforms to face my skellies.

TK turn 4:
I charge!!! (suprise, suprise)
I'm casting ward save for skellies and trow..........................................Double 2!!!!! (no more casting to me)
In CC he kills nothing! and I kill 3. He loses by 5 AGAIN and passes LD test AGAIN! (that started to be real pain in the ass)

Dwarf turn 4:
Miners march.
I kill 2 and he kills nothing. AND NOW he fails his LD test............. I don't catch them, but they are under half strenght

Ohhh.... Just noticed that either my notes are failing or we only played only 5 turns....
(that's sad becouse after game he said that "if it had continued 1 more turn I've won"
Well.... hope you aren't mad... well, anyways let's continue batrep.

TK turn 5:
I Reform to face the miners.
some spell casting to raise some skellies.

Dwarf turn 5:
He fails charge.
After organ gun smoke has cleared only characters and 4 skellies stand!

And this is where we ended the game...
It could be my notes, but if it isn't sad that we 'miscalculated' (it was really exiting game)

Anyways VPs:

TK: 593 Dwarfs: 400

Result: I win!


After thoughts:
Sad if we only played 5 turns, but I guess if it had continued 1 more turn, I've won IF my magic had gone well.
And new TK are nice, and new magic is okay, and even the lore attribute provided useful (it raises supraisingly many skellies)
Chariots died early, so I have no idea how much better they really are.
And if its true that ushabti can have command now, then that's good too. Sure -2S is bad and ASL from GW, BUT they got almost twice their points backk by killing lord and holding that unit for few turns.
WS 5 skellies are awesome! add in some hatred and they can actually kill something! not bad for 4p model IMO.

Thanks for reading, and as always comments are welcome

-unforgiven-

Ok... well... you failed! More hilights from the game would we good and some pics. Grats for the win!

Nice to have someone else just learning to play against . Just a note, you mentioned his unit being under half strength, but that no longer matters for victory points. Unless you kill the entire unit, you get nothing for it (one of the frustrating things about 8th edition, amidst the other good changes).

You also get the VP if the enemy unit flees off the board, just to be clear--though I realize you're probably just including that in the term "kill" .

Right on which is why having some mobile things to help escort units off the board is so important!

Thanks for comments.
Yeah they fled off the board.
Well.... There can be other mistakes, coz we had to play in hurry(no time to check rules or make any notes)
And Jone: It was hard to 'highlight' game more, with so few things happening and I forgot my camera home.
But anyway it was enjoyable game.
