Title: TK vs. Dwarfs 3k
Post by: Aldhick on October 19, 2015, 12:18:47 PM
Hey guys.
  This was my first one on one 3k battle...pretty exhausting I must say :-)
The main point is to show off our awesome armies  ;D but here is some info as well.
The battle was fought within our campaign - we use adjusted Mighty empires rules (the late thin version). Thank to special event (Elite army) I was able to field 4 skull chuckas.
  The Dwarf player decided to try out "all infantry" army with support of three gyros. Used to play mostly defensive artillery heavy style and facing my four chuckas, he was facing big challenge as well.
Though the "order luck" was reluctant on both sides, due to number of brigades and lack of long range artillery, it was the dwarf army which suffered most.
 Most of the time TK army was able to choose where and what units to fight. Most of these charges were succesful. However at the beginning of the seventh turn, dwarfs succesfuly charged skeleton brigades on TK left flank, proving again that skeletons are nothing but useless pile of bones. Most of that flank was wiped out. Though this really spoiled the TK's flawless victorious ride, the countercharge at the end of the seventh turn forced the dwarf army to withdraw...

Unfortunately I don't have a clue..  it's in our local gaming club... it's some kind of cloth on few mm thick mat. However the surface is somehow glossy to my taste..

Thanx.
  My TK list was:
      300 - 10 Skeletons
 270 -  6 Skeleton Bowmen
 240 -  4 Skeleton Cavalry
 660 -  6 Skeleton Chariots
 195 -  3 Carrion
 250 -  2 Bone Giant
 150 -  1 Sphinx
 340 -  4 Skull Chukka
 130 -  1 Tomb King
 670 -  6 Liche Priest
     -  1 Zombie Dragon (100)
     -  1 Liche Chariot (10)
     -  1 Sword of Might (10)
     -  1 Wand of Power (10)

And the dwarf list was something around this:
  1650 - 15 Warriors
 440 -  4 Rangers
 240 -  3 Troll Slayers
 225 -  3 Gyrocopter
 155 -  1 General
  90 -  1 Hero
     -  1 Sword of Might (10)
 340 -  3 Runesmith
     -  1 Anvil (50)
     -  1 Scroll of Dispelling (20)

In our campaign we can use resources to strenghten our armies up to 10% of the battle format so that's why the overall points are slightly over the 3K

Oh dang, campaign stuff too? I dig it!

I always liked the idea of earning points to buy units with - so that even if you take a beating in one mission, if you captured more gold / objectives etc. you could still  rebuild for a later mission.

finally checked out all the pics on the photbucket sight.  I like the trollslayers in front of the 3 warrior columns!!! 

I am always scared to try out the all infantry army for the dwarves, I hear good things but I like my cannon brigade too much.  The dwarfs have sooooooo much missile fire for their army its really fun and I enjoy that about them.

nice battle scene for sure!!!

I like the ME map in your bucket, still working on mine
