A KOE friend of mine keeps saying that Brigands and peasant levies have the best price/value ratio of the game but since I don't have the minis so I don't play them.
Dear Fellows of the Lady,
Back from Manchester where I played this list.
I finished 53rd out of 90 players I think.
Quite disapointing but at least I know why I lost my first 3 games and then won my 2 last.
Not only because pairing, but because trebuchets!
Having 560pts and praying not for the blessing but just to not roll double 1 is frustrating.
Game 1. Vs Felix Newman. Empire of Sonnestahl. infantry based.
T2, my two trebs are out of order after rolling 4 times 1 to my hitting and misfire dices!!!
Then his infantry can reform into big bricks and start pushing forward.
My Duke and his Forlon escort destroys the steam tank but I loose little thanks to chaff and mobility.
8-12
Good but frustrating
Game 2. Vs Oliver. Infernal Dwarf infantry, no machine, Lord of flying mad cow,5 small kadims and 1 titan kadim
All games, my treb will roll 1 either for shooting but worst also for wounding.
He stays away from me.
Kadim Titan makes the game and Oliver send this kadim incarnate to my Forlorn flank to protect it. They are destroyed in a single phase but I can't catch the kadim titan while the lord on flying cow stays behind a hill.
4-16
Game 3. Vs Philip. Orc and Goblins. Lot of feral infantry, two giant spiders
Same as above, my light shooting do very little and my trebuchets nothing.
After double hits on the spider followed by 1 on wounding and too many jaeger, I give up T4 before headache ruins my evening.
0-20 (would not expect better than 5-15 though)
Game 4. Vs Edgar. Dark Elf. Infantry based with altar and dual monsters.
I don't rely on my treb anymore.
Scenario is breakthrough so my Duke and his Forlorns are heavily assaulted from altar+chariot+tower guards on front and kraken on flank.
Thanks to star aligns and lucky dices on blessing, while green knight hold a hydra on the other flank, I manage to win the combat. Duke destroys the altar, kraken flees off table and tower guards are doomed for next turn. Then my last real knights unit reach opponent zone to win the scenario.
19-1
Game 5. Vs Andrew. Warriors Dark Gods. Another infantry based army.
Beautifully painted/converted army
Finally my treb makes some damage early in battle, with taking 3 out of 4 wounds from Lord on chariot. Then instead of going to juicy scoring unit, he will got for the trebuchet!
Village of my brave xbowmen will be honoured by his Duke with a pig and some wine to celebrate their courage in the battle field. They shot one Forsworn and then hold the two others during 4 combat phases to finally destroy them! They will be finally wiped out by 20 angry barbarians. But a pig will be roasted by their families to remember them.
My Duke and Forlorn destroyed a Chosen Chariot and a warriors unit with BSB to secure the ground.
12-8
Positive units:
Green knight. Always at the right place at the right time.
Forlorns and reliquary. Opponent use lot of ressources to keep them busy. Never lost them!
Disapointing units:
Trebuchet! Spending 560pts on them is a waste of points. I'm going back to my scorpions
Crossbowmen and bowmen. I really wanted to play them just for the fun and because I love the oldhammer figures. But they are pretty useless...
it was a great event as always!
