Hinterlands: Praetorian452 vs Samurai Eduh

Knight-Azyros Halver Aura came out of his dive and started weaving through the ruined buildings. Within moments he had caught back up to the rest of the warband.

“Lord-Relictor Warden, I found the Ironjaws up ahead. They appear to be looking for something as well.”

“That does not bode well, Halver. What is your call? How shall we proceed?”

“Split up, We must deny these greenskins whatever they came for. After the loss on the mountain they can not be allowed to gain anymore power.”

                                                       ***************************

Warchanter ‘Ead Banga stomped up to the Brutes lounging in the sun. Before any of them realized it, the warchanter was right on top of them smashing each over the head with his Gorkstikk and Morkstikk.

“Get up ya gitz! Dis no time to be hangin ‘round! Dat Shakey Nob sent us here to get ‘im da scroll, and yous need to get wiff da pogram!”

The Brutes got up and started moving. In the distance there was a glint of light.

Da Cripple looked up and started yelling, “Oy, Boss! Dem shiney ‘umeys are up ahead! Des mus be afer dat fing Shakey be wanten.”

“Leggit, boys! Turns out we’s gonna have a fight! WAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The second game of the night was a game of Hinterlands between Ed and I. Hinterlands for those that don’t know is a fan made skirmish version of Age of Sigmar. It can be found on The Grand Alliance forum. I cannot recommend this variant enough. The games are short, but extremely fun. They push you to tactics that are lost in the grand battles of a regular game of Age of Sigmar, but still retain the essence of the greater game.

Samurai Eduh (Ed):
'Ead Banga - Warchanter
Gut Rippa - Brute Boss
Big Stabba - Brute
Da Cripple - Brute

2k Battle Report: Samurai Eduh's Ironjaws vs Praetorian452's Stormcast

Lord Celestant Harduoin surveyed the field from atop his Dracoth, Bilrai. He imagined he could see the power emanating from the points that the Mage Navarre Tralee had described. The Elf has claimed that he had a vision of Three places of Power being used to summon summon the aspect of Gorkamorka to bring more power to an Ironjaws warchief. With this power the warchief would become nearly unstoppable and could make great gains on Mount Dextros. The Elf said that they were needed elsewhere and couldn’t spare the detor.

The only reason he had agreed to this march was because Lord Veritant Neel had said he could sense a powerful wizard with the Ironjaws force. In his former life he had been a very effective witch hunter, so his word was more valuable to Harduoin than an Elf’s.

It didn’t take long before he heard the stomp of heavy armored boots, and the bellow of a mighty creature. Seeing the red plate of the Ironjaws marching onto the field filled Harduoin with the thrill of battle. He would show these creatures the might of Sigmar!

Ed and I met up for a game night and decided to get a 2000 point game in. Ed brought his freshly painted Maw Krusha to take on my Stormcast which has some new additions.

I apologize ahead of time, we only managed to get pictures of the first two turns.

Adepticon Vanguard Game 2 Skaven vs GW's Pete Foley

After my rats took home a big win in game one I was matched up against Games Workshop Design Studio's own Pete Foley!


Here is my army list for the tournament:

Verminlord Warpseer - General with Chaos Talisman and Cunning Deceiver
Deathmaster Snikch - nuff said

10 clanrats with rusty blades
30 clanrats with rusty blades

1 ratling gun

3 stormfiends with warpfire projectors - yeah yeah, i know

Pete was running a very hard and tough Tzeentch demons army with 2 Lords of Change, 20 pink horrors, and a summoning pool of enough blue and brimstones to almost cover all the pink horror splitting abilities.  This army was very well painted and it was great to see the new big birds on the table.

The scenario was quite unique.  Each player placed two objectives anywhere on the map but not within 12 inches of each other.  For deployment there were no player territories.  Instead, each player deployed a unit at a time, touching bases to base with at least two other models in the unit, anywhere on the board at least 9 inches away from the opponent.  The trick though is that no one can move in the movement phase of the first turn.  This can lead to both armies mixed up all over the board but for our game Pete set up defensively around his two objectives and I deployed in a big net around him.  You score points by having the most bodies on an objective at the end of each of your turns

Pete rolls his 9 destiny/fate dice and all I see is a sea of 6s.  I think he rolled 4 or 5 6s and had several others that were 4s or 5s.  This is a great start for Pete and might mean an uphill battle for my whiskered friends.

Since Pete had less units he chose to go first.  His first act was to summon in his second lord of change.   Between his hero phase and shooting he was able to bring my Verminlord down to something like 3 wounds left and killed about half of my big clarat block. but everything in his force stayed put.

On my turn I was completely shut down in the magic phase (which is a shame since my wizard is pretty sweet) thanks to that sweet Tzeentch magic skills.  I was, however, able to chuck my orb at one of the birds and get a charge off with my clanrats into some of his horrors holding one of the objectives.  This is when I reveal Deathmaster Snikch!  He hops out of the clanrats and scoots over to deliver the coup de grace against the (mortally wounded) Lord of Change!

The Vermin March on Adepticon (and onto Warhammer TV)!

I want to share some of my ratty adventures at Adepticon through a few battle reports.

I only played in a three game vanguard tournament (1000 points) and I only really have pictures from the first two games as the third game was actually on Warhammer TV!

My list was based on the fact that I did not have enough bases to put my rats on to get a true horde so I had to rely on some bigger models to fill out my force.  Here it is:

Verminlord Warpseer - General with Chaos Talisman and Cunning Deceiver
Deathmaster Snikch - nuff said

10 clanrats with rusty blades
30 clanrats with rusty blades

1 ratling gun

3 stormfiends with warpfire projectors - yeah yeah, i know


In my first game I ran up against a mixed chaos demon list with 10 pink horrors, 10 plague bearers, a Great Unclean One, 10 Flesh Hounds and a soul grinder.  There may have been another unit that I am forgetting but it didnt really affect anything.

The first thing I noticed is that he had demons from several Chaos gods which meant he didnt have a lot of the regular synergies you might expect normally.  The mission was to claim four points on the board, two in each deployment zone.  If you could hold all four at once you win.

We both deployed centrally on the board.  I had a little unit of 10 clanrats holding an objective in the woods on one side (facing off against the 10 flesh hounds) and the rest of my army on the other side on a big hill (hills gave cover in this tournament) facing the rest of his army.

My opponent comes marching towards me with his soul grinder in the lead.  Some shots are fired back and forth but nothing too major happens turn one.

Turn two sees the soul grinder crash into my big 30 rat unit but he doesnt do a lot of damage.
