Played Monday evening - dwarf army with no characters or the Anvil.
The Throng
1 Lord
3 Thanes
2 Thunderers
1 Warriors (led by Thane)
1 Longbeards (led by Thane)
1 Ironbreakers (Army Battle Standard)
1 Hammerers (led by Thane)
2 Cannons
Chaos Horde
1 General
2 Champs or Aspirants or whatever.
3 Trolls
1 Marauders
2 Chaos Warriors
1 Cavalry unit (800pts right there w/all his stuff.)
1 Chaos Hounds
1 Corpse Cart (counts as War Altar or whatever)
It ended up epic... EPIC I tell you!
The stunties caused the uber-Cavalry to route on Turn 3 and I caught them - Turn 4, same with the Hounds, Marauders & Trolls, the Corpse Cart routed Turn 5 and stayed routed and we called game. I believe I lost a total of 13 models, 2 of them I caused myself with a bad cannon shot...
I had geared the various Runes around making the units count as larger than they were for combat resolution, increasing WS on the Thanes in anticipation of the challenges, and Wards just in case. They all paid off in spades as the high rolls of Chaos spelled their doom when they lost combat, followed by low rolls for route movement.
