05. Tomb Kings vs Chaos Dwarfs, 2000 pts | Warhammer Old World 10-minute battle report 

Thanks for the awesome comment, and I'm glad you're enjoying the reports! I've actually been on holiday for a week hence the delay. I'll be back next week but I don't have any reports 'ready to go' as of yet so I'll have to see when I can get another game in. I play quite a few other tabletop games and have other time-consuming hobbies too so I'm not always able to play as much as I'd like. I was hoping to get a couple of reports up per month on average - certainly at least one - but to be honest this channel has received a much more positive reaction and faster subscriber growth than I anticipated, and that certainly does fuel my interest in playing more ToW, and trying new armies and list archetypes etc. I just don't know how frequently I'll be uploading reports right now; it's not uncommon for my only free days to be eaten up by other commitments. It may be a bit slow going for the next few weeks while I try and sort out more games and paint up enough models to play a variety of lists (I also have my own Chaos Dwarfs in the works) but I tentatively hope to build up some steam over the summer so please do bear with me!

Thanks for the support 🙌

Thanks for the support 👍 I wish my voice was that nice 😫

it's an ai voice lmao

@MirelurkCakes shhh! You mean an Awesomly Impressive voice, I'm sure 😃

There are a few little things that I think should be tweaked with CD to make them 'just right' imo: Fireborn 5+ armour, or slight pts increase and 5++ or 3rd wound Bull Centaurs heavy armour and Furious Charge LET A CASTELLAN RIDE A FRICKIN TAURUS OR LAMMASU!

Thanks! The chaos dwarfs look so good and I believe my opponent will be adding more lava to the bases too

Thanks! They're mummified legions snake riders from Etsy

Thanks for the support 👍

Thanks Maugan 👍

Thanks for the support 🙌

Thanks Andrew 👍

TK priests can summon ambushing units 'from beneath the sands' if they pass a Ld test. The units arrive within 12" of the priest but not within 6" of the enemy, and can't charge afterwards. It's a really good ability and this battle was the first time I've properly made use of it, I'll definitely think about it more in future too

Thank you David 🙌

I believe they were from a range called Russian Alternative that don't exist in themselves any more but there may be STL files of them

Praise Hashut! I mean Settra 😳

@@Arctovian lol

Praise Hashut!

Thanks for the great comment! You're right about the sphynx - I was just out of range to heal it, and I don't think I could avoid another volley from the tank, so I wanted to make sure it didn't die without doing anything. RE skeleton archers, I agree - I just don't have any models as of yet. I have some on order but it will likely be quite a while before they're painted up. I hope to try out an Ushabti-heavy list and a monster-heavy list before then. Good point about the list terminology- I'll bear that in mind! Ao is just 'Armour of' (I think I used to write Ro and MRo for Rune of / Master Rune of when I played Dwarfs back in 8th edition so it must be slang hangover from that) and LA is light armour, but I'll about such jargon in future 👍

@@Arctovian Ah, that makes sense with the range then, was hard to tell from the picture. At least the sphynx went out in a blaze of glory, so that's a plus.

Thanks 👍 Scorpions are incredible, not sure why they've been given 'all the rules' though! I may try out a couple of caskets. Their damage relies on failed Ld tests which is unreliable but I think they could also be used well for their defensive spell too, I believe it stacks so giving the enemy minus 2 to hit my whole army could be interesting

It came out last week. I've just built 2.

Thanks for the comment. Flaming attacks doesn't remove regeneration in ToW - go figure! RE the K'daii killing a a scorpion, I thought so too but I just ran the numbers and it's absolutely brutal - the scorpion hits 2 key breakpoints (WS4 and T5) which reduces both of the K'daii's rolls to a measly 4+. On top of that it gets a 6 up armour and a 6 up regen - 10 K'daii attacks only average 1.7 wounds to a scorpion! Their blazing body rule adds another 0.2 wounds but it's still not great. They really want to be blazing through WS2/3 T3 infantry. I believe they should have a 5+ ward, heavy armour, a 3rd wound, or a stomp attack - just *something* to sweeten the deal.

@@Arctovianyeah... hitting on 4+, wounding on 4+ means 2,5 wounds. 2,08 against regen 6+. 0,37 wounds from Blazing Bodies on top of that. I do not see the 6+ armour of scorpion but I might have missed something. True... Only Flammable works with flaming attacks... Man those K'daii are so fragile. Not very playable I believe.

@michaciemniewski9791 Scorpions have heavy armour (whereas the K'daii who literally have armour modelled on them have nothing 🤷‍♂️) so against the -1 from the K'daii they'd still get a 6+ save 👍
