    If you like AOS or DD you have to try this, try it you won't regret it.

    Skaven Warband

    Skaven warlord 1
    Rat ogor 1
    Clanrats 8

    Total 10 models

    Seraphon Warband

    Skink chief 1
    Skink priest 1
    Skinks 8

    Total 10 models

    We played Convergence, this is a race to reach the realmstone and finish within 6in of it the warband with the most models wins.

    Round 1

    I get to go first so I move my skink priest up 14 thanks to the cloak and my 4 skinks run and move up 10, opposite corner my Chief and 4 skinks run 12.

    Archie runs with all his Skaven, Warlord and 4 move 12, Rat ogor and 4 move 9.

    Round 2

    The Rat ogor and 4 rats are in arcane bolt range so I target the Ogor taking 2 wounds (woot) my chief and 4 skinks are too far away to charge so move up 8.

    Archie runs with his warlord and 4 rats and he is 6in away from my priest! the Rat ogor group moves up and fails it charge against my priest (woot again)

    Round 3

    I move the priest and skinks back just far enough to be in range of the Rat ogor, arcane bolt hits again taking a wound (woot) I charge with my chief and 4 skinks! I manage to kill the rat ogor (woot) but lose 2 skinks to his clanrats, the warlord pack charge my priest and kill him outright (boo)

    Round 4

    I retreat my skinks near the warlord and get in cover and I'm 12in away from the realmstone!
    my chief and 2 skinks retreat and are 14in away from the realmstone!

    Archie moves all his models and sits them around the realmstone, damn.

    Round 5

    This is make or break I have to charge all my models into the clanrats and hope they survive, charrrggggee!!!

    I kill one clanrat and luckily for me his warlord is unable to target any of my models he is stuck in the middle of a group, I take the hits from the rats but all fail to wound.

    Archie makes his 5th round attacks and kills a skink I fight back killing nothing.

    Time to count up the models, Archie has 8 and I have 6 so Archie wins, he rolls for his gold and totals 31 and I get 18.

    We count up the experience, the rat ogor gains 2 levels and is awarded 2 weapon skill bonuses and enscrolled armour from the victory, this thing now hits on 3+ and wounds on 2+ and has 4+ save! but he is injured and misses the next battle (woot)

    My chief gains a level and wins a weapon skill now hitting on 3+ my priest is injured and now hits on 6+ (damn) and one skink has to sit out.

    Gold reserves I have 24 so I buy a Sister of the watch, Archie has 41 gold and saves it he wants to buy another Rat ogor!!

    All in all what a fantastic game we had, quick, rewarding and very engaging we loved it and if you try it honestly you will too.

    Sounds awesome! I really need to get this going. When I get a bit of time I think I will start a league for this.

    It was loads of fun and fast not only that I got sweaty palms at one point!

    I've already concluded I need 3 Sisters of the watch (so I can take a champion) and maybe a bodyguard for my general, Eternity warden or Sunblood, probably Sunblood as he is 50 gold but saying that a Scar vet on cold one is only 50 gold!

    Nice, hopefully he doesn't get too beefy from level up

    That is a gross outcome for game 1 of a campaign. Hopefully he ends up with some big injuries later down the line otherwise this guy is going to give you problems

    Awesome battle! Sorry you lost, but at least you neutralized the big threat.

    And yes, FB sucks. Fortunately you have a Lustria-Online profile :) Post, like, and comment within our walls instead.

    Oh? I have seen the rules for Hinterlands and am interested, so I'm curious.

    What is this 'recruit' you have in mind? Kroxigor?

    You should try it, really good fun and having a warband that levels up just helps you connect with your army, imagine having a Mighty hero skink priest hitting on 2+ with 2+ to wound, oh yes please.
