Game Night 12-21-25

Tonight my group got together for dinner and gaming. I was going to paint but when a friend wanted to play Spearhead I figured I could spend some time actually rolling some dice for a change! Famous last words, I’m making good progress on my Warmaster entry for the month!

The Skaven Clanrats and Rat Ogres quickly stormed towards the midway objective at the edge of the board on their left, while the Greyseer relocated to hang out with the Engineer on the rear objective. The Clawleader and the other unit of Clanrats took the central objective. Meanwhile the Deathrattle concentrated their forces to take control of the objectives in the back of the board and attempted to charge the central objective, but only rolled a 3 and failed to make the charge!

The Undead cav and the two units charged the units in teh center of the board while the Wight and his unit of Barrow Guard fought the Clanrats and the Rat Ogres. While that combat slowly ground on the weight of numbers overcame the undead creatures saves and wound regeneration eventually killing them. Meanwhile in the center of the board the Clanrats survived the attention of the Death rattle due to a lucky Warlord ability and poor rolling by the skeletons. Eventually the weight of numbers would tear apart the Skaven, but it took longer than it should have due to a card that gave the Clawleader 5 wounds back as the result of a D6! The game was bloody but I managed to get a good amount of card based victory points and the numerous rats ensured I had more objectives than my opponent for most of the game, so at turn 3 when we calculated I was up 12-6 we called it! The rats are on a roll, but I’m sure the Death Rattle will have their revenge!

Meanwhile my friends played a 1,000 point game of Warmaster Revolution, pitting Orcs against Undead in an attempt to take the town. The Orcs ended up pulling a victory returning the Undead into so much bits and bones!

And let’s not forget dinner! My wife made chili and I made sure we could eat the chili almost anyway you could want it! Oh, and my buddy brought over homemade cookies!
