The big boys will come out and play next... but first, round 2.

EagleArk Dwarf lord vs Wizard12 Warlock Engineer.

Wizard12 wins the toss, and grins at the lumbering dwarf. He reaches into his pouch and remembers he tosses the orb last round.
He tries to channel magic, but remembers Wizard12 was too cheap to upgrade him to a caster.
He picks up a large rock, holds it over his head and charges at the dwarf lord, intent on smashing his skull.
And he... misses.

Dwarf lord chuckles as he lands 4 hits, wounding 3 times, slaughtering the engineer.

Fight 2:

DukeRustfield vs HawaiiMatt
SKulltaker vs the shooty elf prince

Skulltaker wins the toss, and charges, Elf Prince stands and Fires. Hits the chariot, wounds, and does 3 wounds.
Impact hits: 2, with only 1 wounding. Prince fails his 6+ ward save, and teleports 3D6" out of combat.

Prince shoots, hits the chariot, wounds, but bounces off the ward.
Skulltaker charges again.
Stand and fire drops the chariot.

Melee: ASF prince misses all 4, but hits and wounds twice with re-rolls. Skulltaker fails both ward saves.


Shooty prince wins.

This guy was very lucky that the impact hits didn't whack him on the 1st charge.
Without ASF, skulltaker is a paper cannon. If he had a 3rd wound, he would have one.

Nice taking a shooty rather than a combat character! Also a perfect use of that robe that teleports you out of combat after taking a wound in a random direction . I love that thing!

Yeah! Clever idea. Having a chuckle at these...

That Teleporting was hilarious! Well played!

BoogyMan vs Mikzor
Dwarf lord = 298
shield bearers (+2 AS)shield
rune of might, rune of fire
armor w/ MR of steel (highest str attack = 5)
(5+ ward save) (immune to KB, Poison, fire)

Lizardmen:
Oldblood
Cold one mount, Armour of Destiny (+2 AS 4+ Ward)
Great weapon (+2 S), Dawnstone ( Re-Rollable AS)


Dwarf gets the 1st turn and charges, and passes fear test. 3 hits, 3 wounds (S8), Lizard fails 3 saves at 6+ with re-roll, then promptly fails 3 ward saves.

I expected this to be a closer match, but not rolling an armor or ward save sure ended it fast.

3 guys left, and BoogieMan wins the bye.

HawaiiMatt vs Eagle Arc.
Elf Prince: Teleport, Bow, 6+ ward, great weapon

VS

Dwarf lord
Shield bearers Re-rollable armor (1+ armor)
4+ward, Great weapon (+1 attack)

Dwarf wins the toss (after 2 re-rolls from ties)
And charges, Elf stands and fires
Hits, Wounds (no armor save), dwarf fails ward, elf does 3 wounds.

Another bad string of dice. I'm pretty sure that I just got added to the book of grudges for 1 shotting a dwarf lord.

-Matt

And Lady Fate slaps the lizardmen back into Lustria!

Oh well, was worth a try.

FINAL ROUND!
BoogieMan vs HawaiiMatt

Dwarf lord = 298
shield bearers (+2 AS)shield
rune of might, rune of fire
armor w/ MR of steel (highest str attack = 5)
(5+ ward save) (immune to KB, Poison, fire)

VS

Shooty Teleport Elf.

Again, it takes 3 rolls to determine the 1st turn, and again, the dwarf lord wins.

He of course charges, and the elf stands and fires.
Elf rolls a 2, which after checking the rule book, I find that 8th edition has no modifier for firing at single models.
He fails to wound (rolled a 3, good choice on master rune).
Elf Strikes 1st, hits and wounds twice, dwarf saves both.
Dwarf strikes 3 times, wounds once.
Elf takes wound and teleports out.

Elf shoots (misses)
Dwarf charges, elf stands and fires.
Elf stands and fires, hits, wounds, ward failed, and does 2 wounds.
Elf Strikes first, hits with 3 wounds with 2.
1 is saves by armor
The 2nd wound bounces off the ward.
Dwarf Swings, hits twice but fails to wound (only S4)
Shield bearers swing, again hitting twice but failing to wound.

Elf is about to cheer, when he realizes the dwarf got +1 combat res for charging.
Elf rolls a 5,6 and breaks!
Elf flees 4", dwarf runs him down (chased 6").


Congrats to BoogieMan with his superior Dwarf Lord.
I almost stole the win with Mr. Bolt Thrower, but the Master Rune of Steel proved to be too much.

-Matt

Hahahah I started rooting for the elf..but im glad he died

Thinking back, a throw my great weapo at you dwarf lord would of been fun, Im thinking d6 wounds, str 7. Might of been fun. Anyway I await for the big boys round!

I guess the dwarfs can check off that grudge then. I am actually pretty surprised he won after seeing all the competitors. I guess that is what the dice are for.

Thanks for doing this Matt. It was fun. I look forward to future ones.

Very nice angry dwarves piled on top of each oth quite effective

very nice next time you do one of these I'll make a champ to join the fun.

Now let's see the big boys play.

Everyone double check your big boys and make sure they are legal.
Illegal characters will take a round of hellblaster fire, then have gear randomly stripped off until they become legal.

Just a side note; from the thread on who's the biggest badass; Empire scored very high due to speculum, but we only had 1 speculum entry, and he dropped 1st round.

We'll see how it shakes out in the other half.
Also, I'm short 1 competitor, so I'll enter the Winning Dwarf Lord.

-Matt

I must've missed something, why was the dwarf swinging at S8 vs. the lizardmen character, and only S4 later on in the elf combat? Must be some dwarf gear thing...

Dwarf gear indeed. Rune of Might, doubles strength of wielder if target has T5 or higher.

I'm just trying to figure out why a 65 point engineer was up against some of these monsters! XD

I was just trying to figure out why he wasn't a level 2 wizard.
