These images come from my game with Big Whit, everyone's brother from another mother (assuming she smothered you in her covers until you spluttered and muttered, or something like that), a buddy of mine.
(What? My friends are ruthless; show no weakness.)
We played what will be my final game of Warhammer Fantasy until the new edition... 'cause basically there's no reason to relearn a game that's changing. Still, I've been thinking a lot about Beastmen, and Fantasy, and how I want to approach the game in a competitive way when it's finally reintroduced hereabouts.
Not that I think this one was great, but it's a start. Everyone within range of the General and Battle Standard Bearer and my screening/diverting units out front.
If this sounds like Fantasy 101 and you're thinking, "Man, this is basic shit, dude," I'm here to tell you you're right. Warhammer isn't my game. I hope to get better though.
Anyway, I put a 10-strong unit of Gors and two 5-strong Warhounds in Ambush, though in hindsight the Warhounds are necessary to my setup - they're much better at the screening and diverting I need than the Gors...
That's all I've got - Brent

Damn you Brent you killed my post again. I had a dream and now it will never see the light of day thanks to your craptacular battle report! I'll have you know that this is not the last game for me. I'll play up until 8th ed and then stop just to piss you off! How does my dictate?
Was that a little over the top? I can never tell.
Lol - no, never over the top, sir. I didn't realize I posted over you.
You'd better repost it tomorrow if you really want a dream...

Lets try this again. Just FYI in the new armybook Chaos warhounds don't ambush. Only Gors and Ungors have the beastman ambush special rule.
Oops.
Was your first comment, "Hey, Dumbass, play with all the rules?"
*sigh*
Good thing I didn't talk up how expert I am in Warhammer Fantasy!
Really doesn't matter we didn't even finish the game. Just trying to play something different.
I have to agree with Brent on the not playing till 8th.
As for the screening thing...you may want to wait and see if the rumors turn out true. If they do, screening will be gone. The current talk is true line of sight...so if he model is bigger I can see it. ]
I just think thinking or working on tactics for a game you don't know what the rules will be is a bit of a waste of time.
If half the rumors about 8th are true then there will be a bunch of unhappy people. Myself I am looking forward to the change.
