hi all an amazingly great end to my game tonight that i thought i would share even though i lost. 1500 point campaign game against demons i am top of league he's second so a bit of a grudgematch. In the first 3 turns he battered me killing my block of saurus with his bloodletters and my skrox with his flamers with hardly any casualties himself. His demon prince type thingy(lesser demon) with wings was hounding my solo slann but i kept just getting out of his charge arc with my movement. On turn 4 my slann cast banishment on his demon and caused 3 wounds. In the demon turn 5 he flew his demon away behind a house accepting the fact my slann was too hard for him.(my words not his) in my turn 5 the tables turned my slann managed to get a line of sight on his demon again and melted him with banishment, my second saurus block destroyed his bloodletters with a little help from bironas timewarp. Going my final turn all i had was my slann,unit of saurus and 2 chameleons. He had his 30 strong block of horrors with his BSB and 2 flamers pointwise it was going to be a draw. my slann took out the 2 flamers with banishment which could have given me the win but it was very tight. Then i had a moment of genius (for me anyway im sure you lot have all done it before) My slann had yet to use his cupped hands in the game so i threw my last 3 dice into a meaningless self buff hoping for miscast. got 3 6's great pass miscast onto his herald in the horrors and guarantee the win on victory points. Rolled a 1 on my cupped hands which was not fun, then rolled a 3 on miscast and then a 2 so i was sucked off to chaos handing my opponent the win on the final dice roll of the game. Wasn't too unhappy to lose as it was a great ending to an awesome battle, apologies if i waffled a little too much.
In my last four games that i used cupped hands i have rolled a 1 three times so i know your pain (last one killed 11 TG) It was a brave (sorry for the pun) throw of the dice to grab a win, just a pity it backfired so badly
