Draw wif Kenneth....Again

In my 4th attack on Kenf's beastmen, I tried to use a more balanced list[in my own opinion], which includes 2 nobles mounted on a chariot each(aka the Twins Effect). The result is great-> i killed the shaggoth! but kenneth's mass no of troops and his "first turn move first roll" make my life difficult and in the end, he has enough units left to force a draw. Damn the chariots ...so many of them...if i move first they will be dead. The move first thing is very impt though, kenf expected to win by turn 2+(his shaggoth got defeated by turn 2 ). unfortunately despite punching thru his first line, a series of countercharges by his chariots cost me many of my troops. shooting and magic is quite bad in first turn too. Thw Twins Effect is quite good but i do not know if it can totally replaced the manticore thing totally. This army is extremely vulnerable to cannon users. but to think abt it if both chariots were gone, i could make an uber spearmen unit! perhaps i shuld take on YQ again. Fought kenf so many times that i think i can call this matter to rest liao. We r equally matched!

Anyway distractions aside, the chariots' effectiveness and real life budget issues has forced me to postpone the hydra unti first. I will do up other druchii units first.

the list of priorities will be

-Finish up corsairs
-TK Scorpion II
-DE Chariots and Nubian Spearmen concurrent depending on which models i will have at hand.
- DE executioners( i will buy the relevant models the financial situations allow it. 1 command pack).
-DE Blackguard
- DE hydra or black dragon or Cauldron. the final projects. i will use the time to see if i m getting something else for the hydra model.

ok i guess that shuld be all. THe coming GC minis I will but the BG and the TK skeletons(VC skeletons if i do not have enough bare heads)
Blitz order - 1 Light Wizard, 1 Hydra Apprentice as Charlenos.

OH finally casualties for the week

Charlene Choi(Charlenos) is knocked out plus her chariot team destroyed. 10 casualties
50 Cok(despite bravery of the champion who stoped a chariot for 4 rounds of combat...well done!)
50 Harpies(there are more from where they came from)
100 RXBmen
200 Spearmen
20 RBT teams

50 Darkriders and 10 harpies flee off table but they return. I think the 10 COK champions too but i wasn't sure. It seems like it. Well done COK once more!

therefore total losses = 500
Total dead casualties = 430
Total Army (excluding Veronia and Tesela and the Twins) = 560

Wow so many dead, especially the DE warriors. but my mages r alive again!
