We played 2000 pts, the last couple of games have been at 1000pts, so it felt cool to be able to bring out some more characters: old Rochus Festerhart got company by a sorcerer of Tzeench, and I also brought my Lord- Khar Khordai. Finally I chose a battle standard bearer with a Festering Shroud.

My opponent brought out his feared cold one knights and Black Guard, among much more. His army can deal with most I throw at him, but I put a lot of trust in my warriors...

On the second picture the battle has raged on for a couple of turns. The Cold ones are heading for my unit with marauders on my right flank, also including Rochus Festerhart. He had been able to cast a spell on the knights (cloying quagmire), dragging some of them down by the weight of their armour. In the middle of the field there is a unit of fleeing crossbowmen, running from my horsemen up in right corner.

The cold one knights, led by a dark lord of Naggaroth!

A big melee takes place in the middle of the battlefield. I failed two charges here, my warriors was one of them.

Late in the battle most of my army was either slain or fleeing. Here are my warriors making a last stand against the knights, who rided down Rochus Festerhart's marauders and then came back for more.

My Lord was killed in a challenge, before dealing a single blow! My warriors were cursed by a rust-spell, giving their save -1...

Here is a closer look at the man of the match!

When the dust settled, it was clear that the druchi had won a crushing victory. Again!

I think that things could have been fifferent if I had not failed my charges in the main fight. I have also decided to enlist more warriors. Even if they didn't perform very well this day, they are still dead hard!

Maybe next time, elves! ...but until then- Congratulations and thanx for a thrilling game!
