A bloody match up between the gluttonous Ogor Mawtribes and the Stormcast Eternals. The Stormcasts won a narrow victory on points. Despite loosing more of their army, the ability to deploy half of their units off table for later deployment, enabled the Stormcasts to appear in the rear of the Ogors, taking hold of their enemy's home objectives.
Arguably, the Age of Sigmar range contains some of the best miniatures produced by Games Workshop and for any fan of model soldiers, they are too tempting to pass by. Here are some images of the initial encounters between the Skaven (rats) and Ogor Mawtribes. All were easy to build and were a joy to paint.
In this 'Battle in the Mists' scenario, the Goths achieved victory by depleting the Orcs reputation points to zero, despite the fact that the Orcs still had their best units untested and undamaged at the close of the game, to the point that I suspect that if the game had continued for another turn, the Orcs would have been in the ascendency.
We have noticed that the standard Orc Warriors are a bit under powered, as they only have an armour rating of '2'. Indeed the difference between armour rating of '2' and '3' is massive when it comes to losing stamina. This makes the Orcs very brittle. As they loose units, their reputation points begin to nose-dive.
Midgard is all the rage at the moment and this game saw the forces of Evil (Skeletons and Orcs) defend the heights against the forces of Good (Humans and Elves). The Skeletons looked as if they were about to be swept from the high ground, but their ability to regenerate helped them remain in position just long enough for the Orc reserves to arrive to save the day. The humans deployed unfavourably, which delayed their ability to charge home with their cavalry. The climax of the game came when the enslaved war trolls (already damaged by the fall of a towering Dragon upon them) finally ran out of steam, and were butchered, along with the Elven C-in-C.
