Ok so I managed to get a game in against someone I have never played before though I know him from interweb land and his dwarves.

His list was as follows (from memory)
Anvil with heavy magic defense
BSB with Rerollable 1+
20 Thunderers
40ish Crossbows with GWs
40 Hammerers
3 Cannons
1 Super Grudge Thrower
2 Organ Guns

You know my Bretonnian list by now, but if you dont

Heroic Killing Blow Lord
Lvl 4 Heavens
Lvl 2 Beasts
BSB 1+ reroll
1+ Reroll dude
Peg hero with GW and other stuff
12 Errant with Errant Banner
12 KOTR with some magic banner that never mattered
6 Errant
8 Questing Knights
10 Grail Knights

So the mission we rolled was blood and glory but it never really mattered.

Magic I got




Deployment looked like this (from my side of the table)








I pray (Greatest move I made this game was praying)

Dwarves 1
Nothing moves
No magic
Shooting sees him sprinkle fire but nothing major




During his shooting his organ gun on my right misfires and gets sent home


Bretonnian 1

I, like the brilliant general I am shove everything forward, making sure to be in my charge range and well out of his.




In my magic I manage to eek one spell through on the questing knights.

Dwarves 2

He does not move again
He has no magic
Shooting sees his Anvil misfire and his warmachines focus on the Questing knights.... When the dust settles

The unit champ stands tall, ready to avenge his fallen brothers



My Wardsave have been insane all his shooting phases, really I must of done something real special for the lady to like me this much.

Bretonnian Turn 2

Everything charges
KOTR and Big Errant goes into the thunderers
Little Errant into the other organ gun
Lone Questing Knight into the cannon
Peg hero into another cannon
Grail Knights into X-Bows

Magic I get nothing off.

Combat sees my grails take a beating, but I will let the pictures speak for themselves








As you see the KOTR overran into the hammerers behind the thunderers but the Errants fell short 1".

Dwarves 3
He shoots a little but if memory serves nothing really happens

In combat his X-Bows bring down a Grail Knight, my Peg finishes his cannon and my Questing Knight boss-modes the last two cannon crew and reforms.

Also my KOTR beat the Hammerers but they are stubborn reroll and stick.




Bretonnian 3
Everything I have charges again.
Little Errant into the Gruge Thrower, Lone Questing Knight into cannon and Peg Hero into the flank of the Hammerers.
Big Errant also slam into the Hammerers




Magic nothing happens (I forget about it)
Combat sees the Grailknights loose but stick around and me crush the last of the hammerers.

We call it at this point so we can get a second game in.

Awesome battle report! What do you think of the general match up between Dwarves vs Brettonians? I am a newbie but a lot of lists feature 2x trebuchets but seeing those cavalry formations are awesome as well. I also wonder how more Pegasi would have done, seems like there's versatility to be had in these older army books still

I've been meaning to start up another Warhammer army and my main opponents are Dwarfs, WE, OK, and TK. These battle reports make me want to play Bretts so bad, love the theme of the army.

Thanks again

My army is 100% theme driven in that I do not run peasants of any kind including warmachines and only characters may have pegs. I think Trebs and Peg units are fantastic but since it goes against my theme I leave them at home.

Personally I have now only played this match up like 4 times but I think it is a good one for us. Mass S5 means our armor stays durrable and our wardsave boosts up nicely. Also Dwarves are one of the few armies we would have more ranks then so that helps with steadfast.

Definitely a fun 2 games. Particularly the 2nd one >_> (which I still lost).

I definitely enjoyed the matchup. A nice change up from the Lizardmen, WE, Ogres I constantly face! Can't wait for a rematch... or 2

I also like how in that 2nd picture of my deployment, you can see the hair that I kept trying to get off the board. Just wouldn't come off...

Next time you guys play let me know I want to come and observe!

Ok! I should be coming down more often now that I have way more free time

Always good to see your posts Johnny, love the paint scheme on the brets, or the fact that I'm looking at brets Vs Dwarfs, which isn't the most common match-up.

Pretty pictures.

O.o shiny pictures, I approve of you army also. Well done
