So Sulla's cavalry force sallied out of ghrond to face the raiders from the north... If he had known then what he knows now, he may as well have stayed in bed and just ordered his household guard executed instead. It would have saved time.
The enemy horde surged forward, and a lone tzeench mage on a disc fired off a flickering fire at my dark rider screen. naturally the incompetent bimbo from the convent failed to stifle it and the entire unit was wiped out, to a man (7s7 hits
, cast on a 6 which I failed to roll on 2 dice. ) Seeing this terrible carnage, and knowing there was no possible wayile way to combat such power , the 2 masters both took their units of knights and quit the field (failed panic tests taking 2 units of 5 CoK, 2 masters with MR3, the ring of hotek and the banner of murder off the field !cry!) Naturally, this distressed the rest of my army. The chariot stumbled stupidly forward, the dread lord and his manticore were so enraged at the cowardice that they furiously charged forward at the closest light horse they could see (fruitlessly) and the unnerved lower classes loosed all their firepower to kill just 6 marauder horse and the annoying sorceror (from 500pts of shooting).
In response, the sorceror lord on his dragon flew forward and unleashed his mighty breath on the sorceress and her crossbowmen, sending them fleeing and taking 2 bolt thrower's crew with her. The manti was charged by chaos knights and a BSB. Althought the manticore was injured, neither the beast or the dreadlord could scratch the mighty Banner bearer of chaos and fled for their lives, outpacing the knights.
Dreadlord sulla and his amnticore Bloodmaw quit the field in discust, leaving the remaining remaining handful of men to their fates vs the virtually unharmed chaos host.
(Worst dice rolling ever...)
Sorry for the rant, but ever have one of those days? I only played 3 turns but failed every single panic test I could, losing over 700pts to a single flickering fire cast in the first phase, then 450+ to the cascading panic from the dragon, failing stupidity for my chariot every turn, failing frenzy on the first turn with my dreadlord, hitting next to nothing with my shooters...I've never rolled so many 11's for Ld in my life.
Kudos to my opponent though. Sure, he was lucky, but he brought a dragon rider and a disc rider... could have gone very bad for him. Also, he brought the doom totem (supposedly the most useless battle stanmdard in existence if you believe warseer) which comboed really well with his sorceror lord on dragon and his diabolic splendour, making panic, fear and terror tests from him at -2 most of the time... Not that he needed it with my rolls, but it's a very good combo against us.
