6th edition Tomb Kings. An army where the sizzle certainly sold the steak. I had 3000 points of TK in total. For the first few games they performed well, until opponents worked out how to neutralise the army by dispelling incantations. Trouble was TK magic was so low-level that it was ridiculously easy to dispel, and with no march move at all without magic, TK infantry was too slow. Against Dwarfs, Chaos Khorne, or Night Goblins with loads of shaman, infantry were reduced to a crawl. I did eventually get a more balanced battle by having lots of cavalry and chariots, just to get a bit more mobility.
@@gurtana If you're in the 6th edition Facebook group, you can find them in the files section. I printed them off and put them in card sleeves with playing cards in the middle for rigidity.
Great looking set up, desert table looks great! Only watched first half, exciting stuff! One question, when the carrion charged the fleeing archers, how did they end up hitting the bolt thrower? When the archers fleeing archers fled and got run down, looks like the carrion would have gone off the table. The carrion cannot overrun as there was no combat. They could have charged the bolt thrower in the first instance so cannot charge the archers and the carrion. Imho. Also, when you stop to spike a war machine there is no overrun or indeed combat res.
Yes, that would count as a pursuit into a fresh enemy, not a redirected charge, I think. And about the spiked warmachine/overrun thing I doubt there is a solid ruling on that in the BRB. I would have been fine with playing it the same way as you two fine gentlemen. 😁 Thanks for a good report!
@@Mercenaryminaturepainter archers flee as directly as possible, which is not always dead straight,... but even if the path did take you into the BT, you cannot have it both ways. You charge the archers and they flee so you run them down. EVEN is the path takes you into the bolt thrower, you could only 'redirect' if you could not have charged it in the first place, which I believe you could. If you were able to redirect then the archers would have survived no matter how low they rolled, provided they did not run off the table. It simply boils down to whether or not you could have charged the Bolt thrower in the first place, if you could have then you cannot charge them in this instance.

@@warhammerresurrection.1995 well ill be a son of a hotdog, you sure had good answers to the situations. You seem so confident that im almost ready to take your word for it without checking myself. Almost. 😋 Im sure youre right but my ocd makes me have to check.
Looking forward all day to watching this. Was a great battle thoroughly enjoyed.

Archers flee directly away from chargers. Which took the carrion in a straight line into the bolt thrower.
