Battle Report:

Deployment.

Photo after 1st turn of Ogre phase. Ogres started generally moving closer. Stonehorn charged to Dark Riders which advanced forward by vanguard move. Rider fled through the Corsairs and caused them to panic. Giant and Yhetees marched to the forest to engage with DElven Shades, which were hiding in the bushes. The woods were poisonous. Magic phase didn't do anything. Maneaters sniped the Elvish BSB to it's death and Cannon blasted the Hydra into oblivion.

On the 1st turn of Delves the Corsairs didn't rally and went of the battlefield. Some troops moved forward. Magic didn't do anything although DElves were close to magical temple, which gave them opportunity to get more dice to magic pool. Beastmaster shot the Harpoon at Stonehorn and made couple of wounds and dragged it forward. The Medusa also made a wound to the Stonehorn. Shades did some wound to the Giant, but didn't kill him. There were no melee combat.

Ogres 2nd turn started with the Gorger entering to the battlefield behind the Black Guard. Mourfangs charged to Cold One Knights and The Shades were charged by the Giant and Yhetees. Ironguts unit tried to charge to the Black Guard, but failed. Magic phase didn't do anything. Cannon destroyed the Cold One Chariot. Mornings run through the Cold One Knights. The Shades were slain and the Giant overran to the Darkshards and continued fighting. He fell over the Elves taking eight lives with him as he died. The Elves ran in panic.

In the 2nd Elf turn the Dark Shards rallied and turned towards the Gorger. Black Guard charged to the Ogre Bulls unit. On the Magic phase the Slaughtermaster used his Hellheart crippling the Elven casters. At this point my opponent called the Game and congratulated the Ogres for Brutal Victory!

Burning Breath

Greetings!

This is quite unbelievable moment, as I painted the last figure from the Ogre army. I wondered a long time what would be the perfect color for the flame breath of the Firebelly and I ended up in green shades. I'm quite happy about how I succeeded in painting the light effects and the tattoo on his shoulder. Here it is. The last member of the Clan Bonebiters.
