In the first battle I lost for several reasons. My Oldblood on the flank didn’t do anything, and most importantly I didn’t manage even once to cast a 5+ ward save or Ethereal on the Slann with Temple Guard (literally not even once!). His Dragon Slaying Sword killed one Stegadon on the charge with three sixes, the Grave Guard chewed through the Temple Guard in three turns, and the Kroxigors couldn’t wound the Terrorgheist. The Blood Knights rolled over the Saurus and that was basically the end of the game. My magic achieved absolutely nothing—whenever I managed to kill something with the Bastiladon or Engine of the Gods, it just came back in his turn. I’d be happy to hear some advice before the upcoming battle. Should I stick with High Magic? If I had managed to get Ethereal onto the Temple Guard, the Grave Guard wouldn’t have done anything. Or maybe I should pick a different lore? One thing’s for sure—the Carnosaur won’t play so defensively in the next battle. I’m posting a battle report here, but it’s in Polish. If anyone is interested, you can follow what happened in each turn.
