Warhammer Warband Campaign

So it Begins! (York's Orcs - Total Points: 246 Total WBR: 246 Remaining Experience: 4) The first battle, out of the box as it were, pitted my untried York's Orcs against Mike High Elves. Taking no loses this ended in a Victory for the Orcs and allowing my Orc Shaman, S'York himself to advance to a second level magic user.

Next came the Seekers of the Wood Chaos Beastmen! Another Victory and a few experience for the underdog bonus. Having survived the "Red Boyz" gained the +1 Veteran Status.

Billy's Ogres were next in line to confront us and the line was getting longer? This was a strange battle with only 3 Ogres and one would not die! This resulted in a draw with my magic user S'York hopping around the battlefield like a squig and finally falling the other Ogre that would not die. But with an intervention by Mork himself (a reroll on the Character Injury Chart) he was saved... well almost.

After his third skirmish S'York received a visit from some Black Orcs sent from the main dude himself, M'Jeran. The leader of this band of Black Orc, T'Boss, slapped S'York on his back while informing him that the Black Orcs were now in charge of this motley crew. This is how S'York got his nervous twitch
(Nervous Condition -1 I in campaign terms).

John's Dwarfs made up of mostly Thunders were killed to a man! But losses to those handguns were expensive to replace. Netting a Massacre helped to replace all my loses and even add to the "Red Boyz" numbers. The "Black Boyz" who survived unscratched gained the +1 Veteran Status.

The Fifth time taking the field York's Orcs faced Allen's Lizardmen. Those damn blowpipes reduced my Chariot's wounds down to 1! But it bravely ran away to the rear. This resulted in a draw and gained my magic user the Counter Magic ability. It was after this battle that we learned how to really play the game! Like those pesky skirmishers with the blowpipes can march within 8" of the enemy... But can't fire! Now you tell me! Also a unit must have it published minimum before any command models can be added. So in spirit of the game I removed my command stands from my Black Orc unit and added the points to the "Red Boyz". Shawn did say I can keep my Black Orc Boss with the unit... He's such a nice guy!
