2505 IC, Confederat Communications Network

Greetings Brethren! A new report from the frontlines has just come in! Somewhere in the jungles of the Southlands the Ratabama 13th came into contact with a large contingent of feral Orcs.The Ratabama 13th consisted of:

Grey Seer with screaming bell,eye of the horned rat,twisted crown of the horned rat,warpstone charm-535

Warlock engineer with full kit minus pistol,Death Globes,dispell scroll-130

Warlock engineer with full kit minus pistol,dispell scroll,Storm Daemon-135

23 Stormvermin with full command and shields-232

30 clanrats with full command and ratling gun-235

30 clanrats with standard and musician-165

30 clanrats with full command and ratling gun-235

21 slaves with musician-46

21 slaves with musician-46

21 slaves with musician-46

5 gutter runners with tunneling and poisoned hand weapons-85

8 Jezzails-160

Warp-Lightning Cannon-100

Total=2249

while the Orcish force consisted roughly of 3 x 25 orcs,1 x 20 night goblins,1 x giant,1 x shaman lord on wyvern,1 x bsb,1 x hero,1 x goblin shaman on chariot,2 x 5 feral boar boyz,2 x spear chukkas,a stone thrower,a doom diver,and some wolfriders.

The Skaven forces slowly moved forward and rained warp-lightning down on the-the greenskins and shot the shaman lord.His Greenskins advanced as well and he bombarded my troops w/ warmachines.On the left flank the Clanrats and slaves destroyed his cavalry while in the middle the wyvern scared off the jezzails but was shot up by ratling guns.The main bell unit was eventually flanked and utterly destroyed.The battle was a draw but it was a moral victory for the Confederats! For every Clanrat cut down in battle there are 1,000 more ready and willing to take his place in the great war for the Confederatcy.

Nicely done!!! I demand photos of the event!

squabbling played havoc on the orc battle lines, leaving one unit of pig-riding savage orcs heatedly debating whether it is better to bathe once a month or... once. The other pig'uns were left to ineffectually charge a large confederat unit only to be flanked by slaves and being overrun by them.

Rumor has it that the infamous Ratbert E. Leep had promised the freedom to any slave bringing back the ears of any greenskin casualty. Said liberated slaves were then led to volunteer in the latest skyre weaponry experiment of their own free will.

it was definetely a fun battle.I'll try to get pics next time I play.
