    First Round

    First Round
    Chaos iniciative, he advances with all units preparing to charge.
    I move skink skirmishers to shoot and redirect charges, move Salamanders to try to burn some Warriors and cast spells at the Skinks cohorts to receive the charge from Knights and bloodcrushers. Chamaleon Skinks starts the kill count!

    Chaos Knights and bloodcrushers were scared to charge de cohorts.

    Close combat

    double 1s! Insane courage for the Skinks!!!! LOL

    forgot the Skinks in the Temple were killed easily and One salamander unit was destroyed and overrun by the bloodthirster.

    I kept the Block of infantry togheter for defense, using Magic and blowpipes to wear down the Chaos units.

    for the next rounds we got entangled in Close combat, Magic phases being of little use except for a casual earthblood being cast. At the last Round, the bloodthirster flew away to avoid being charged, but My skink priest cast Flock of Doom and got the chicken daemon! Lol

    this is the last picture I took, 5th Round I think:

    Sorry for the not very accurate description Battle report, but I am in a rush to Go to work.
    Game On!

    Flock of Doom is a hilarious way to kill a big scary Daemon!

    Thanks for the report and photos. Warriors of Chaos are always scary to fight.

    Nice terrain and mat! Sounds like a good one. Did you happen to win when victory points were all tallied up?

    Looks like you played a strong defensive game, letting them come to you while whittling them down, exactly how you should play this matchup i would say. Well done, and gg!

    I assume your opponent was using the End Times Legions of Chaos list? Because that's the only way to use a combined Warriors/Daemons list in 8th...
