Well because some of you or at least one was interested in my result with my lahmia army, i thought it would be nice to give you a battle report. My army list can be found in the army list section

2000 pts Lahmia vs 2000 pts dwarfs.

Scenario: Flank attack..


Before we started i had to choose which of my units (1/3 of the total points) would form my flanking force. I decided to go for a thrall with skeletons and dire wolves on the right flank an my 2 banshees and the other dire wolf unit on the left. We deployed and i got first turn. So everything moves forward. My spirit host screening my skeletons with count and necro and my ghouls screening the zombies + necro. Magic makes sure my skeletons get a little bigger and thats it. His turn he shot my zombies 13 wounds (auch) with his stone thrower and cannon. His tunderers and crossbowmen shot at my ghouls but didn’t kill even a single one. And after that his organ gun shot all my fellbats. My turn 2 my spirit host moves to 1” away from his organ gun the rest moves forward with my skeleton unit going around the would to later face the ironbreakers. Magic refills my zombies and with my boa the spirit host charge the organ gun. In CC my spirit host kill all the crewmen and overrun into the slayers. In his turn the thain leaves the iron breakers to give the slayers a hand. Then shooting: The stone thrower and cannon both overguess on my zombies and manage to kill only one. The tunderers and crossbowmen kill one ghoul and that’s it. In CC my spirit host kill 2 slayers and get one wound for crumble. Then turn 3. I get to roll if my flanking forces arive and roll 4 so they are entering the battlefield. In my movement the 2 banshees and direwolves sneak up behind the crossbowmen, the ghouls decreasing the distance between them and the tunderers to just 1” . My skeletons move futher around the wood to prepare for a flank charge on the ironbreakers in combination with the just arrived flanking force skeletons and my deri wolves on the right set up for a charge on the stone thrower. My zombies drop the necro in the woods and then turn around. My magic creates an zombie unit of 9 to claim a table quarter the rest gets dispelled. In CC my spirit host kill 3 slayer and get a wound because of that stupid mucisian. In his turn his thain charges teh spirit host and his ironbreakers with lord turn to face my skeletons with thrall. Shooting: His stone thrower misfires, his cannon grapeshots the zombies and his crossbowmen also shoot at the zombies killing a couple the tunderers don’t hit a single ghoul. In CC the thain wounds only once and the spirithost kill 3 slayers and once again get a wound because of the mucisian so they only have 2 bases left. My turn 4. The dire wolves and one banshee charge the crossbowmens rear. I forgot to charge the ghouls and my other dire wolves charge the stone thrower who flees and they redirect in the slayers flank. Skeletons with lord close up with the iron breakers ready to charge them on the next turn. Zombies move to claim an other table quarter. Magic refills the zombies nothing more. In CC my dire wolves kill a slayer and my spirit host kill 2. Thain doesn’t hit because of the cursed book. (i really love that item smile.gif) So i win that combat and the thain autobreaks… too bad i could not persue him. Dire wolves and banshee draw with the crossbowmen because they only inflicted one wound. His turn, he charges the skeletons with thrall with his iron breakers which are immune to psychology.And he rallies his thain. Shooting… his cannon grape shot the ghouls killing them all and the tunderers kill 3 zombies. In CC the direwolves get 2 wounds and don’t wound back. The remaining dire wolf and the banshee both crumble. Spirit host kill a champion of the slayers and a normal model. The other combat of the ironbreakers vs the skeletons. My skeleton captain challenges and the champion of the ironbreakers accepts it. The thrall kills 2 models. And his lord kills 2 due to the cursed book biggrin.gif. His ironbreakers kill another one and my skeletons kill nothing. No wounds done in the challenge either. Well my turn… I charge the ironbreakers in the flank.. Magic refills some skellies. CC my Spirithost and dire wolves kill the slayers and my 2 skeleton units with thrall lord and necro kill 5 ironbreakers he kills 4 skellies and loses by 6. He fails his LD test and I capture him and his banner. After that combat we decided to quit and I won massacre biggrin.gif

Well that was my first battle report I ever wrote. And I think it was a bit to longand maybe really boring, but practice makes master smile.gif.

Well everything worked out well except for my banshees because they didn’t kill a thing with their scream. But that’s usual against dwarves. Hope you enjoy reading it if you took the time tongue.gif

Good battle report. Maybe break it up a bit into paragraphs so its a bit easier to read instead of a single big block of text.

Glad to see that you beat those pesky dwarves.
