Battle for Witchfate Tor

THE SHORT VERSION

Matt Hutson’s Dwarfs defend the watchtower against Phil Kelly’s Warriors of Chaos in a 3,000-point battle. After withdrawing depleted Longbeards, Matt uses Organ Guns to drive the occupying Chaos Warriors out and installs his Hammerers, Lord and battle standard inside. Shadow magic and repeated elite assaults destroy much of the Dwarf army outside, but the tower’s defenders persist through an unusually long eight-turn game. Their survival secures the objective and ties the contest, illustrating why control of the scenario’s prize matters more than casualties elsewhere.
