So Forlorn and I got together to do a fun little
AoS battle the other day. We played 60 wounds a side. His army consisted of 5 Giants while I had a Warrior Priest, 15 Empire State Troops with Sword and Shield, Another 10 with Spears and shields, 10 Militia with ranged weapons, 5 Slayers, 10 Thunderers and Ungrim Iron First.
My army consisted of Gripping Beast plastic Vikings, Old
GW thunderers and Avatars of War Slayers.
I've copied and pasted this report from a Facebook post Forlon did on an Aghe of sigmar group so I apologize if some of the formatting is wonky and pictures don't line up exactly.
Battle report.
Turn 1
The Militia man their barricades and await the arrival of the Giants.
The cowardly Border Count Heimlich stands well behind the lines in relative safety. So he thinks.
Roy the giant comes on the board on a random table edge.
The warrior priest Cast shield of faith.
Roy moves 8 inches toward the village. He notices that everyone seems to be looking the other direction. Tee hee.
Turn 2
Roy sneaks into the back of the village on tiptoes.
He sees a lone figure idly standing alone and charges.
Assaulting; Roy bellows and crushed Border Count Heimlich before the count even knew what hit him. Spat.
Empire turn

A unit of militia now turn to face the sneaky git that tiptoed into the middle of the village.

Combat phase
Tiny swords poking!!! Roy takes 4 wounds from the puny humans.
Roy grabs a farmer and stuffs him in his goodie bag for later!

Empire turn
Dwarves advance to town.
Slingers miss!
Roy takes 7 hits and saves 6 of the wounds! Huzzah!

Consolidating the final 2 slayers hurl themselves at Burt.

Liam charges the dwarf riflemen.
God dammit! Clyde fell over in his eagerness to get to the king.
Seeing this Bill changed his route and assaulted the king.
Swinging his club Bill wounds the king with a single wound. With a mighty kick he does an additional 2 wounds. But Umgrim lives. Drat.
With rifles swinging and clubbing the thunderer do 3 wounds!
Liam Attacks and misses terribly with everything but he's able to stuff a stunty into his sack for later.
Umgrim smote Bill upon the mountainside. Doing 6 wounds and dispatching the giant easily. Ugh.
End of game report. I had a total of 20 wounds left on my Giants while Todd's force had 26 wounds remaining.
The militia held as long as they could but were no match. The dwarves landed away from the village (we made it a random roll where they would beach) and the delay took a heavy toll on the villagers. A fun game using not only
GW figures but also Vikings from Gripping Beast.
