So after being postponed by the so called "beast from the East" (it snowed here in the UK, not like us to be over dramatic..) I finally managed to get my newly painted wood elves on the table. I was playing an intimidating mixed order army led by that wily general Hayd (fellow blogger of Salamanders fame).
We were playing at Boards and Swords, a new gaming venue in Derby, which if you're ever in the area I can definitely recommend going to visit. They've got a great selection if tables, plenty of great scenery and a great and very helpful owner.
Note that I've called this post a battle "snapshot" as it'll be more a selection of highlights and photos rather than an in depth blow by blow account of the action.
The game itself was a 2000pt game playing the Total Conquest scenario. For those that dont know this basically involved the two armies fighting to control 4 objectives in the middle of each quarter of the board. Units of 20+ models could claim them (slight problem here as you'll see) but if not the side with the most models in a unit claimed the objective. We may have played this slightly wrong as we thought that a unit could only take the objective if they had more models than the original unit, even if that original unit wasn't there....turns out we were wrong about this!
Anyway, to business, the two armies were as follows:
Wood Elves (me) "Guardians of the Hidden Paths"
Avatar of the Hunt - master of defence and phoenix stone
Glade Lord on Forest Dragon
Spell Weaver - Heartwood staff
20 Glade Guard
10 Dryads
5 Reavers
20 Eternal Guard
10 Wardancers
5 Waywatchers
5 Wild Riders
3 Kurnoth Hunters
Free People's (of Middle Earth) - Hayd
Free guild General on Horse - master of defence and relic blade (I think)
Branchwych
Treelord
Battlemage (lore of beasts?)
Duardin Unforged
20 Dryads
20 Spearmen
20 Glade Guard
5 Retributors
8 Knights of the Realm
2 Great Eagles
1 Stone Thrower
1 Great Cannon
Deployment looked like this:
Glade Guard, Eternal Guard, Drayds, Waywatchers (behind hedge) and Forest Dragon
Wild Riders opposite the Great Eagles, Stone Thrower and Great Cannon (yikes!)
Avatar and Wardancers opposite the free people Glade guard and Spearmen
Free People Knights lined hoping to stay the dragon, with free guild General lurking just out of site behind the house
Free people centre consisting of Spearmen, Glade Guard, Dryads, Baytle mage, Unforged ( hiding behind wall), Branchwych, Treelord and Retributors
Thats deployment done,I'll get into the highlights of the game in the next post.
