Druchii vs Woodelves. Inter GW BloodBowl match.

[Lac.desariel]

Well having won my respective league I was asked by the guys at a different store if i could play thier league champion in a one off game.

Of corse I agreed and so I thought I would share with you my Breathren the out come of what looked on paper to be a close run Match.

When I looked at his team I wasnt overly worried in what i saw, a Treeman 5 re-rolls 2 war dancers and only 1 catcher, and to add he only bolsted a squad of 12 players.

Comparied to my 2 witchelfs 2 runners 4 blitzers and 2 assasins and a total of 14 players

Well I started of not to well and lost the coin toss and set up in my standard defensive set.


His lineelf outleft caught the kickoff. wide on the right flank war dancers were set the tast of busting my Blitzer and witch elf to give a clear run for the movement 10 catcher (he has sprint and sure feet too, an Inducement card) after hitting my witchelf I side steped as she went down ensuring that he would have to dodge to give a clear path to run in. the dodge roll rolled up a 1 and with takle he was force to use a reroll and rolled 1 again.
over to my Druchii and Khaine was smiling and My Blitzer / Witch elf combo on the left brlitzed hard and busted open his lineelf with ball and I was in control. I used my assasins to let him know the potential they have and stabed his catcher, only stunning but it did the trick.
I managed a score on turn 2 and reset my team to kick again.
After the kick his catcher managed two 3+ dodges and a 2+ through my Tackle guys and run in a 1 turn TD. My offence and my assaisins left the pitch to be replaced by my runners. now I would play my game and i set about beating up some woodelfs in the name of Hubris Rakarth. just like he used to do with Jordell. I run in a 2nd TD on the stroke of half time.

2nd half and 2-1 up i recieved and proceeded to march again up the field hitting weak elfs as i went to claim my 3rd TD to which he replied with another 1 turn TD only this time with so few players about his start catcher had to start.
As i moved the ball up field the clock was ticking I set my self up for a witchelf 2 dice blitz to get in to a scoring position and then I was to show those woody how to pass. only to roll up 2 skulls and no re rolls.
He saw his moment and with a line elf in a scoring position all he needed was to get him the ball to tie the score 3-3. With a blitz called on my runner i choose to dump off and all is going to be fine untill i fumbled with a roll of 1. to add my runner was then streachered off and placed KO'ed. his wardancer continued after his blitz and secured the ball ready to score on his last turn. No happy with the thought of this match being taken away from me i set up a blitz with assists from star witchelf who went to town on the wardancer. the ball was out in the open but i could no longer score.

the game ended up 3-2 to the Dark Elf side with 4-0 cas in darf elf favor too.

All in all was an enjoyable match and one I controlled from the start, with out his 1 turn touchdown I belive the score would have been very different.

On a side note after the stabbing of his catcher never did he follow up with his treeman as behind i had 2 assasins waiting. I made him play with 10 players as his tree was ineffective
