Dwarven Host (Warhammer Fantasy Battles) IC

I was under the impression that necromancers could only normally use those repeatable spells though, and not the big spells that the vampires could get.

I will check it when I get home.

[tigerusthegreat]

Okay, my mistake was thinking necromancers were vampires, they are not, so they do not have access to the lore of vampires. However, they do have access to invocation, dance macabre, and raise dead (so the magic missile is the only thing I have been doing wrong, except not casting spells more than once a round).

So, for the remainder of this round, I will not cast more than once per round, and I will use the spell list I have. Next round I will make sure my necromancers follow the appropriate rules, both multicasts and spell selection.

Okay, going to give you the option right now: Retreat with your quarellers, take the lesser loss and try to live to fight another day, or stay and try to pull victory out of your dwarven arse.

In any case, the only action that is going to go on is my necromancer casting. As per his usual, he's using gaze and invocation to create zombies near your left quarellers.

gaze - (3d6)[3][4][2](9)
invocation - (1d6)[6](6)
gaze hits - (2d6)[2][1](3)
gaze wounds - (12d6)[4][6][6][5][1][6][2][2][2][6][3][1](44)
zombies - (1d6+5)[1](6)

I'll do 2 and 2 again, and I have a plan for the quarrelers to win the game.

Gaze (2d6)[6][2](8)
Invocation (2d6)[1][4](5)

[tigerusthegreat]

So 6 zombies and 3 dead quarellers...think that means you need to do a break test (25% casualties)

[tigerusthegreat]

No close combat this turn. Be sure to make your panic test. its all yours

They are charging the zombies in the flank. I'll get up a picture some time in the future.

[canjowolf]

[tigerusthegreat]

Think that is two wounds to save for (and you fail your charge due to fear unless you ldr is higher than I think).

armor save - (4d6)[5][5][1][1](12) (extras in case I am wrong)

[canjowolf]

Link.

No one normally has an ld above 10.

[tigerusthegreat]

Your quarellers will be charged by the zombies, so make another test and decide your reaction.

[canjowolf]

Stand and shoot ( I don't know if they have the range, but they are going to try).

(2d6)[5][3](8)

[tigerusthegreat]

Gonna be tomorrow before I update this, sorry about the delay

[canjowolf]

not a problem

[tigerusthegreat]

I really hate doing this, but I have to discontinue this adventure. My work load (and now school load as I am having to take a summer course) is severely limiting my online time. I am sorry to do this to you guys.

[canjowolf]

This battle was pretty much over anyways. Good luck with the work load.
