Shrine of the Sorcerers

THE SHORT VERSION

Owen Barnes’s High Elves defend Ulthuan against Jervis Johnson’s returning Dark Elf raiders in a 2,000-point battle. Early High Elf magic delays and destroys elite attackers, but crossbowmen repel the Silver Helms and threaten the Spearmen’s flank. Repeated failed Break tests turn combats into sudden routs, while the White Lions and artillery preserve Owen’s most valuable units. The High Elves win 2,021 to 1,192 after a costly struggle; both players reflect on leadership, magic and the value of smaller practice games.
