Khador Vs. Trollblood

On Saturday (yesterday), Ben and had another battle.

He brought a fairly similar Trollblood list as last time.

Mine Was:
The Butcher
War Dog
Decimator
Devastator
Winter Guard with Officer & Standard Bearer, and 2 rocketeers
Widomakers

I succeeded in destroying everything but his Warlock.

He however, took out the Butcher before I could take out his Warlock, so, his win.

Good game Ben!

Khador vs. Trollkin round 2

Played Ben again on 4/9/2010. We both brought 25 point lists. Ben's list was all about melee, and all of his units were on at least medium bases. Eventually I was able to get through to his Warlock and take him down. It was a lot of fun. I always enjoy learning about the enemies units through combat. Much more interesting than simply reading the stat cards.

My List:
The Butcher
- Devastator
- Decimator
- Winter Guard unit with 6 troops
    (this winter guard unit did a good job of holding it's own due to the Butcher's Iron Flesh spell)
  - Leiutenant and Standard Bearer attachment
  - 2x Rocketeer attachments
- Assault Kommandos (6)

I used the butcher a bit more in this fight, buffing the winter guard unit with Iron Flesh, popping his feat at the right moment (his feat adds one die to dmg rolls).

Fun game!

Finally got my game on!

This past saturday (4/3/2010) I finally got back into the swing of things with a small skirmish between my tiny Khador force, and Ben's Trollkin force.

I forget exactly who Ben used, but I know one of them was a sizable warbeast with a small dude riding on his back with a gatlin gun. There were some other small units that had advanced deployment, plus they were sneaky hunter types with toughness.

I took the following 15 pt army:
The Butcher of Khardov
Devastator
Kodiak
Lady Aiyana and Master Holt (Thanks for the Mk II stat card from the guys at Asgard!)

Holt was dusted off rather quickly (wah!), and then after a couple of rounds my Kodiak went down. I tried taking out a number of the trollkin forces with the devastator. I successfully damaged one of his warbeasts significantly, but the hunter types completely survived the attack through their toughness (instead of dying, they were knocked down). I did manage to take out about three of them early on, but the other three caused me some grief.

Ultimately, the Butcher fell under superior firepower, thus ending the match.

I think I may re-tool, possibly dropping the Kodiak for some ranged infantry, or a Destroyer (which has a ranged AOE attack).
