8th Ed. The BEST close combat units in all of Warhammer.

Round #13

 

I think the spider is an auto Massive Victory for the Skullcrushers, but I don't think the Destroyer is an auto Massive Loss. It's a fun and interesting situation.

 

I agree, that is probably the most likely outcome... unless the Skullcrushers can manage to reverse it and score the ordinary victory for themselves. I think it will be a very close contest, but who knows.

 

Round #13


@Lizards of Renown

 

Thunder...

Thunder...

THUNDER...

THUNDERCATS...

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Oh man. @NIGHTBRINGER you just made my day. What a fantastic match-up to have a win on!

 

Round #13

 

The Mournfang deliver one last miracle!... or can they nab another off the Soul Grinder?!? (both the Skullcrushers and the Demigryphs managed to beat it, I think the Mournfang have a fair chance)

For the time being, they are in 11th place overall.

 

Last match of Round #13





***also tried the this matchup starting with 6-wide vs. 6-wide frontage. The Demigryphs end up with 13.5 wounds remaining.

 

I see I leap quite behind on your matchups, questions and memes, 3 days with not a lot of time to be online

So here we go:
(commenting on Round #12)

WITCH ELVES!!!

Yeah WITCH ELVES

O how I fear the matchup of Witch Elves vs Chaos Trolls

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Now for round #13:

Holy cow, you are going fast

- The K'daai did what was expected from him
Good meme

- How did the Witch Elves loose the first round to the Spider... Would they have lost if it weren't for the lack of wounds from the Spider.
Good outcome though.

watch your tone there sir... o wait, it actually looks like a compliment

Grrr, Imrahil

 

What a grinding match, It took some time but the Beasties have finally lost some points.
If I am correct they just barely hang on to second place with the Witch Elves now on third

Grrr, Imrahil

 

This has to be the key weakness of the Beasts. S4 is going to do nothing against a 1+ save. Foregone conclusion. Like I said before on the Dark Elf match-up that was like this one, if the Demigryphs charged I'd either countercharge with a high strength unit (as I have a little bit of time with the Regen rule in play), or just decide that the Beasts are going to keep the Demigryphs from doing anything else in the game.

The thing is that they kept the DK's tied up for 7 turns(!!!), considering that no-one will be able to charge on turn 1, that's basically 8 turns before they are wiped out.

I've yet to play a battle that lasted this long, so at least the Beasts vs a highly armoured unit would keep them out of the game. Might come in handy as a tactic.

@NIGHTBRINGER was this the same result with the Skullcrushers? I don't recall the fight lasting as long...

 

It was 'just' five rounds:

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Well there you go. Can be a tarpit tactic then.

 

Fine quality Chaos Dwarf Daemon Smithing!!

4+ armour save of the Spider helps a lot against S3, non-poisoned attacks are neutralized by T6, plus the Witch Elves themselves have no defense at all!

It is possible... but the Witch Elves no easy fights left in the tournament. If they are to win, they'll have to earn it! They do control their own destiny at this point, but if they falter a unit like the Trolls or the Demigryphs could sail right past them.

On the very first post of this thread I have created a complete hyper-linked index linking to each and every fight of the tournament. Any fight can be found in seconds.

 

I honestly think that the Beasts of Nurgle are the hardest unit to counter of any that we've seen in the tournament.

 

End of round 13!



The most important note... we have an official tournament winner. The K'daai Destroyer has a attained a mathematically unassailable lead (unless an error is found in a previous match)!

Tournament Champion: K'daai Destroyer


Likewise, the Aracknarok is now officially our last place "winner". No combination of outcomes across the last two rounds can see it slip from the last place position.


Two rounds left to fight. There is a lot at stake for many of our contestants. Near the top and and bottom of the standings it is still possible for units to change positions drastically!
