A mate of mine from my club (closed until this bloody Covid-19 is dealt with) ran an AoD game on the Warhammer 6th Edition Facebook Group.
Initially there were just 4 players (his call as a test game).
Rules as follows - Lord or Hero (why would you chose a hero?)
No named characters
No wizards (this is blood and guts!)
20/25mm bases on foot only
100 points of extra (magic and non-magic, with usual rules applying).
I asked about the spawnings that we get in 6th ed, and these were not included in the 100 points - Happy Days!
He did all the dice (using an app I think).
So I took an Old Blood, Spawnings of Quetzl (+1 armour save), Sotek, (+1 attack when charging), Tzunki (+1 initiative)
100 points of equipment:
Aura of Quetzl (4++ vs Str 5+ attacks)
Light Armour
Enchanted Shield (+2 armour save, not usual +1)
Sword of Striking (+1 to hit)
Banehead (Any unsaved wound on nominated character was doubled).
My semi final was against a Black Orc Warboss (I don't know exactly what equipment he had, but from the write up, probably heavy armour, a magic weapon and the ability to 'ead butt).
After a bit of a scare, the black orc warboss was despatched.
On to the final...
This was against a High elf Prince. Again not sure of what he took, but magic armour and magic weapon for sure (and had killing blow).
This was very tense.
The elf's ability to hit first with killing blow was potentially a problem.
And so it proved early on - My mate told me after that the elf got two 6s to wound, but the Aura of Quetzl made two 4+ saves.
Later on the tables were turned and I got 3 or 4 wounds and he saved each one on a 5+! Curses.
Alas, the luck with the Aura had to run out at some point, and with another killing blow roll, the elf (bloodied but unbowed) won the day.
Second. Dead, but second! ;-)
If you're into 6th Edition WHFB, look for the Facebook group and perhaps join in, as he's running another soon.
