WHFB: Border Patrol and a lot of Oldhammer – 500 Points

In preparation for Xmashammer, Byakhee Roo who has not had much recent Warhammer experience asked the flock for some small games to bring him up to date with WHFB v8. I was able to oblige, and wanted to field my Oldhammer Dwarves. Roo also was fielding Oldhammer Dogs of War (DOW).

Aside from a gratuitous posting of a cat, whilst waiting for Roo to turn up after work, I managed to paint the sides of my GW Battleboard which is something that has been bugging me for the last couple of years – yet took less than 5 minutes to do.

So we started off with a 500 points battle. The Portal of Kittens caused disruption but made no overall difference.

My Slayers got nowhere…slowly, being blown apart by the Organ Gun lite, and musketeers.

The Dwarf Clansman, lost the combat against the heavy cavalry and had to make a Leadership test…of course I rolled two 6s, ran away and so Roo pursued and wiped them up.

But not off of the board…

Having defeated my Dwarf Clansman under One Eyed Sally, Roo’s cavalry returned and looked likely to make Shambles’ X-Bows part of the sandwich…I threw the towel in…round one to Roo. The dice were against me as Roo admitted.
