WAP tournament

 Had a great day taking the hobgoblins to my first WAP tournament. 

My list had two heavy cavalry units with another two units of Tarkans to set scenery and war machines on fire. Two bolt throwers, a giant, a war wagon and three blocks of infantry rounded out the list. The natural choice to lead the horde of as the mighty Ghazrak Khan and his untrustworthy bro Oglah Khan second in command.

With little practice it was as always gonna be tough but three great opponents, two losses and a win and finally taking home the award for sports made for a great day.

Game 1 loss vs samurai themed wood elves

So much shooting meant my cavalry struggled to get across the board. Had fun setting the forests on fire though.








Game 2 win vs dwarfs

This one was gonna be a struggle with the lord occupying the high ground and a heap of war machines. My cav managed to get across and wipe out the war machines with my opponent very unlucky with his lord’s unit panicking.




Game 3 loss vs skarsnik and his gobbos 

It was the greenskin civil war with again my cav units struggling to survive after taking out the car at machines in my right flank. Although we managed toto cross the board, heavy magic and shooting took their toll. It was the watchtower so at least I got to set it on fire.






Lessons learnt

Need to get some magic resistance and shooting protection for the cav units and be in combat from turn 2.

Enjoyed using the war wagon although it was not very effective.

Bolt throwers are fun but lower your expectations on return.

Would love WAP to include units of the rhinox battle fortress.
