BR: Skaven vs Beasts Part I

So finally once again the Skaven and their hordes have chased down Ratspawn and his fleeing band of loyal followers. Whom shall win the day??

This rematch was an excellent battle with both players playing really well at times and making some lucky rolls and each of us making huge mistakes at other times.

We rolled 5 pieces of terrain:
2 Cave walls, totally impassable and flyers cannot fly over them. (we are in a cave here, the walls go to the ceiling.
Area of boulders (hard cover, difficult)
area of stalagmites (soft cover, difficult)
Pool of water (no cover, very difficult)

Here were the army lists:

Ratspawn, Doombull led Beast of Chaos Undivided list:
Doombull undivided w/Hellfire sword, hvy armor, shield
Wargor w/chaos armor, great weapon
Lvl 2 bray shaman w/braystaff, 2x dispel scrolls
Lvl 1 bray shaman w/braystaff, 2x dispel scrolls

5 Minotaurs und(Rat Ogres) w/Great weapons, banner, champion
2x 4 Minotaurs und w/Gr.Weapons
2x 3 Minotaurs und w/Gr.Weapons
3x 5 Chaos hounds (Giant Rats)
2x Beast chariots
2x Beast herds, 7 Gors w/extra hws & 6 ungors w/spears, full command
5 Furies (cloud runners)
2 Chaos spawn with mark of slaanesh

My Deployment:



My deployment was ok. I originally had my chariot over at the table edge. He used a League resource he had called spy to move my chariot behind my main battle line.

His Deployment:


Going from the bottom of the pic to the top he had:

2 Poison Rat swarms
BSB w/hvy armor, banner of the swarm in unit of:
29 Storm Vermin w/full command, warbanner
(ouch can you say +8 combat res to start)
Next to them was a unit of 24 Clanrats with Ratling gun and full command
In front of them was a unit of 2 globadiers. He had 3 of these.
9 Jezzails lined up behind the pool of water.
Next to them a unit of 20 slaves.
Then a unit of 24 clanrats with a Warlock with 2 dispel scrolls.
Next to them was the Warplightning cannon.
Then a unit of slaves, with Plague Censors behind them and plague monks with Plague priest behind the PCBs. The Priest was sporting his own censor and the warpstone Amulet.
Next to them was the last unit of 24 Clanrats with ratling gun.
The Warlord found a good home here sporting the Weeping blade, warpstone armor and enchanted shield and a warplock pistol.
And finally another unit of 20 slaves at the very far right of his deployment.

We had drawn objectives, his was to kill more than half my multi-wound models. I had 23, so he had to kill 12.
Mine was to kill his general or have it fleeing at the end of the game. The only model I felt could kill it was Ratspawn and he was no where near his general.

Finally we rolled and Shaun won the right to pick and chose to go first.

Coming soon, Part 2. The battle begins...
