The Watchtower Battleplan - Skaven take on Highborn Aelf's in the Realm of life in this clash to capture a key strategic tower in the Greenglades. Can the surprise attack from the Skaven overthrow the towers garrison or will the Aelf's be able to call in reinforcements in time to save the day?, join us to find out!

Good batreps, just a couple questions.

Why did you keep focusing on the blood warriors, especially with teclis at the end? You would have done more damage to the ratogres because the wounds carrying over after the first one died.

Next, why didn't you make the prince your general? I know teclis is more important in the story, but he wouldn't be the one in charge of the defense of the tower, the prince would. Also, the prince could have made the archers immune to battleshock. It would have shut down the skaven movement options a bit.

Hey man, the scenario doesn't let you use your general in the garrison at the start so no option there. I guess i am used to playing with the blood warriors and they are pretty dangerous in close combat so i wanted to take them out in shooting/magic. Cheers!

Great battle report guys! Looked like a good game, either way glad to see the scaven take the victory!

Gotcha, didn't realize the limitation on the general. (Should have put teclis out there then)

*: this Scroll uses blocks of 10 for these, so 12 cost as much Might as 20, hence the donwgrade to 10 here.
