[Update] Battlereport - Skaven gainst The Empire

I will try the first time to give a short battlereport of a 2400 points game of warhammer fantasy battle. It was held at my place following the actual ETC (European Team Championship) draft at this moment. The opposing armies where my Skaven Warhost and The Empire Army from Talabheim (with the rules of the old Empire book). Since the game was held some time ago, I can only recapture the match and will therefore sum up the battle. I only shot a few pictures because my camera went insane on this day and messed the pictures.

The battle begins

[Update]: I just found my played Skaven List and put it in the post down below. Perhaps this makes the battle a bit clearer than before.

Quiek stood atop his blessed bell, overviewing he battelfield and inspecting the empire army. From his place aloft his minions he felt the power of his revenous horde. He saw a company of  human knights moving to his right flank: "Send slaves to the right quick-quick!" he yelled. His chieftain looked up to him from his regiment of iron clad stormvermin: "Master insane humane things. There-look!" Quiek looked where is chieftain was pointing. "Clan Moulder send your biest-monster!" Slowly the abyssal horror stomped to the left covered by another fear smelling slave regiment. The shouted orders from the human-things reached his ears. The human general landed beside his knights. Quiek malmed his teeth. "Doomwheel to the left fast-faster". He knew that these ironclad humans where victims for the lightnigh spitting Doomwheel.
Then dem dust from the trampled ground was blown away for a second and he got a glimpse of the human artillery. Grinning he saw that only some mortars and one big cannon was fielded. For his hordes that should be no challenge. With a fierce grip on the frame of his bell he quieked: "CHAAAAARGE!"

The proud Empire Army

The ravenous Skaven Hordes

The battle can be told very quick:
The slaves and the hellpit abomination pinned the flagelants on the left and ate them up, the two slave regiments and the doomwheel on the right blocked and munched the empire knights and in the centre the two mainforces marched against each other and magic and shooting decimated the regiments. With one lucky round I managed to poison the griffon of the empire general to death. I was very lucky that the great cannon didn't manage to shoot at my bell, it had enough other targets to take care of (and headshoted my warlock with doom rocket). At the end of round 3 the empire was so horrible decimated that my opponent called the game and shaked hands. I felt somewhat bad that the dice played this time completly for me. I had nearly all the spells I wanted, the cannon didn't manage to do too much damage (first shot stucked in my abom) and the doomwheel and the hellpit abomination wrecked havoc in the enemy lines (the Doomwheel nearly ate the knights alone). Next time will be different I think, my opponent played the first time against Skaven. With the new armybook I will have a much harder game (the first gemigriphs arrived recently). But we had a great day and worked afterwards at our miniatures so overall it was a great day.

The ETC rules played out really good. We played with Draft #3 but the Final Draft is out now. In Germany where playing is much more restricted then in other countries as it seems, they are really cool. They give a stable framework to work with and are more specific then the typical SKA ("Sei kein Arsch" - be no asshole) "restriction" where you just say "Make no cheese list".

Hope you enjoyed it,
