BATTLE REPORT·WHITE DWARF 384

Dragon Hunt

December 2011·pp. 92–97

THE SHORT VERSION

Simon Grant’s Dwarfs seek to kill Duncan Rhodes’ flying Dragon before it can reach Dáin in a roughly 700-point Strategy Battle Game encounter. Duncan uses Goblins and Bat Swarms to support the monster, while Simon breaks that accompanying army through archery and fierce infantry fighting. Dáin survives a spell aimed at shattering his axe, and the Dragon makes a prolonged hilltop stand before being surrounded and slain. The reflections stress protecting the key hero and making an expensive monster’s supporting attacks count.

Hallscurry’s Revenge

Andy Hall refights a failed 3,000-point siege against Kevin Chin’s Dwarfs, hoping his Skaven and enormous Warp-Doom Magma-Cannon can change the outcome. The gun explodes immediately again, but the Screaming Bell breaches walls and ratmen infiltrate the hold. Dwarf resistance, the arriving relief force and cannon fire defeat successive attempts to seize the objectives; even a final Skitterleap ends with the Warlock crushed, leaving the defenders victorious.

Warmongers

Simon Grant and Andy Hall field Orcs & Goblins and Ogres against Matt Hutson and Tom Hutchings’ combined Chaos forces in a 4,000-point Storm of Magic grudge match. Monsters, a Dawnstar Sword Warboss and catastrophic magical miscasts repeatedly reverse the advantage. A surviving Lammasu preserves the designers’ final fulcrum and spirits a lone Bloodletter away from destruction; equal fulcrums and only 89 victory points between the armies leave the game a draw.
