MISSION: EXTERMINATION (briefing and battle)
Episode in which we FIRE! and then RELOAD! and then some more. Also "Power Word Win".
Skaven raiding parties have been launching attacks into the Loren forest for many months nad we have had many encounters with their scouts. We are en route to destroy their foul lair which lies about three days distance from here. In return for your help you will be paid and guided safely to Loren.
Holy shit, dude talks fast...
And with the Skaven base destroyed here, I can send on some of your warriors to assist at Zhufbar.
Please, no more delay!
Shut the fuck up Ceridan...
It would take you twice as long to reach Loren without our knowledge of the mountains. And those crags are home to unspeakable horrors that would freeze your Elven heart. Be thankful you now have a guide.
This is our Commander's decision.
Yeah, this is my decision Ceridan, so shut the fuck up...
Well, dragging this whole army around is getting quite expensive to be honest so I had choose my troops more carefully.
We took:
Cavalry
Ragnar's Wolves
Allor
Great Cannon
and some Azguz's troops accompanied us. Ragnar's Wolves didn't do jack shit in this battle but I had to take them... Son you will know why.
clip-clop...
This is how we deployed. Actually, this is just grey floor unless you are looking at minimap (which you should).
Those are rat's houses. Our mission is to destroy them. But first we will have to go through ocean of rats and waves of warpfire.
We put one gyro-copter in the middle of map to aggro rats. Rats are leaving their houses and we open this battle by casting Cleve's new spell. Flock of Doom. This is fucking OP bullshit spell if I ever saw one, but hey, we have it, so I'll get over it...
Yup, it cost's as much mana as Hunting Spear and it just killed 20 fucking rats.
More rats spotted our gyro-copter and try to attack it.
Great cannon starts shooting.
Cleve keeps casting Flock of Doom.
It did serious damage but clanrats didn't rout.
Cleve still have some mana so we order him to take care of Stormvermin with warpfire team.
Regiment of slaves were getting ready to charge Cleve.
But great cannon took care of them.
Clan rats somehow slipped through artillery fire and got dangerously close to Cleve so we ordered him to fall back.
This time Brzęczący Szczebrzeszyn didn't failed and clanrats were killed by cannonball.
Skaven grey seers started to mess with my gyro-copter by casting on it something that made him attack Cleve. Fortunately gyro-copter don't seem to have any weapons...
Unfortunately, clanrats decided to help gyro-copter and this easily could have been end of Cleve.
But Brzęczący Szczebrzeszyn do not approve of rat's shenanigans. No siree!
Since Cleve is safe now, he continue his trail of destruction.
Unfortunately while great cannon was covering Cleve's ass some slaverats managed to get close so we ordered Jarema to attack them.
He killed them, but lost one man. This sucks because I have no idea when we will be reinforced.
If you look at the map, you will se that two stormvermin regiments (both with warpfire teams) and two grey seers are sitting in one place. Grey seers would make perfect target for our cavalry (cannons suck at killing lone units) but they would be burned to crisps by warpfire before they would reach them. So we moved Cleve near them and quickly cast Flock of Doom and then GTFO, liek, fast, very very fast.
It killed whole shit-ton of stormvermin, but warpfire team survived.
Then we ordered Brzęczący Szczebrzeszyn to shoot at the other one.
Again, warpfire team survived.
Grey seers were left without support. But I was afraid that stormvermin will re-group and burn my cav if I decided to attack them.
So we ordered Cleve to quickly run towards them.
He got one.
And the other one.
Warpfire fucking re-grouped and tries to burn mah Cleve!
But actually wizards are great at dodging warpfire.
So they got Flock'of'Doom'ed
warpfire team exploded and stormvermin died by their own sword.
What a way to finish a mission. Actually, mission isn't done yet because we have to destroy all rat holes. We did it by casting huntin spear at every rat hole, no real point in showing it.
While Cleve was destroying rat holes. Eric Ragnar collected magic item. For some reason I couldn't get this item with Jarema. Maybe there is a limit on how many magic items can one unit have?
Man of the Match.
I was unable to close one rat hole. Hunting Spear just didn't worked on it, I don't know why.
Clip-clop...
Till next time.
