Mini-tournament

Me and three buddies had a 1500-points' gathering last weekend. My orcs performed rather well, defating Undead Vampire Counts, drawing against Chaos (a revenge for the last mishap) and was finally slaughtered by Empire in a sort of "final". My Empire opponent performed well in the magic and shooting phase which he needed to decimate my ranks before I got within Waagh range. My army consisted of four blocks of infantry, three of fast cavalry, a couple of chukkas, some squig hoppers, a chariot and a troll. I had a shaman which performed decently, but I felt that another shaman would have been welcome to deal with Empire and Undead magic phases. Playing Orcs is otherwise a real blessing. Every battle is filled with crazy twists and turns, bringing joy to both generals and each battle saw "beautiful" Warhammer moments. In the rush to pack my troops, I forgot my camera. It will be used next time, since my opponents' armies are both painted and eye-catching. My wolves are soon finished and ready to be shown to Master.

And, yes, my package has arrived...
