Battle Report: Dwarfs vs Skaven part I
This little 2250 point practice game was fought on 8/6/2006.
I was playing my horde skaven army. It looked like this:
Velsquee's Vermintide
Characters:
Warlord Velsquee w/heavy armor, great weapon
Plague Priest Juhel w/flail
Warlock Squelch with full kit, warp pistol, storm daemon, warpstone charm.
Warlock Sqeek with full kit, warp pistol, 2x dispel scrolls.
Core:
4 units of 24 clanrats with standard & musicians
2 ratling guns
4 units of 20 slaves with standard & musicians
2 units of 18 giant rats with 3 handlers
2 rat swarms
2 units of 6 night runners with extra hand weapons
7 poison wind globadiers
Special & rare:
19 Plague monks with standard & musician
6 plague censor bearers
5 jezzails
6 tunnelers w/poison hand weapons
6 gutter runners w/poison hand weapons
His Dwarf army was a bit heavy on the rune side and looked like this:

Thane BSB w/Gromril armor, Master rune of Valaya, Rune of Battle
Rune Smith w/Gromril Armor, shield, rune of spell breaking, Master rune of spell binding
Rune Smith w/Gromril armor, shield, rune of spell breaking, spell eating rune.
Core:
24 Warriors w/shields, full command
10 Crossbowmen
10 Crossbowmen
10 Thunderers
Special & Rare:
23 Hammerers w/shields, full command, runic standard, rune of battle, rune of sanctuary
1 Cannon w/rune of forging, rune of fortune
2 Gyro copters.
As you can imagine, magic played a very small role in this battle.
I had 288 models on the board while he was sporting a mere 84. Outnumbered over 3 to 1, could the might, toughness and stubborness of the Dwarfs win the day.
