Realm of Chaos - "Clash of the Titans" - Battle report

Here my first sample solo game battle report using mordheim gaming rules and realm of chaos warband rules. I played this solo game some months ago.
Just to have an idea if the rules will work well for solo games, later I will consider a narrative campaign.  ;)

Realm of Chaos - Tzeentch Dark Elf Warband

Here the Tzeentch Warband I painted some months ago.
For my champion I chose the 1994 Aekold Helbrass miniature, all the miniatures will be 4th edition dark elves, painted with oldhammer tzeentch paint scheme.

Background:

My name is Moserath from the House Uthorin.
I was destined to become a member of the feared and respected black guard at the service of our Priestess-Queen Rhudd Cynhaeaf.
But the Lord of Fate, Tzeentch, had planned a different destiny for me.
Now I follow the path that HE showed to me.
Follow a GOD whose gifts are generous is far greater reward than only be the servant of a mortal Queen.

The Beginning: Moserath was an aspiring Black Guard of the Dark Elves.
During his training, he received the call of Tzeentch come from the realms of chaos over the watchtowers.
Before completing the bloody ritual that would make him a black guard, he betrayed his oath to the Witch King.
Three fellow black guard trainees joined him.

Moserath the Guard of Change, Champion of Tzeentch,
also know from the dark elves as "the Black Guard Renegade"
Dark Elf Hero 15

	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Int	Cl	WP	PV
Moserath	5	6	5	4	4	3	8	3	12	9	11	10	60

Equipment 6 points: Double Handed Sword (2), Heavy Armor (3), Short bow with arrows (1)
Mark of Tzeentch: Magic Item - Flesh Banner D6 hits at S5
Initial Attributes: Magic Resistant, Brightly patterned skin: single colour spots
Initial followers: 3 Dark Elves

More miniatures that I will include in the warband during the narrative campaign:

Witch elves

 Tzeentch Sorcerer with Tzeentch Disc

Initially I wanted to use this model in the dark elves warband, but now I think I will create another tzeentch warband using just OOP 3th edition chaos models where I will include this tzeentch sorcerer.

In fact, the Cabinet RS/33 is aware of the rumors about the pink panther and sent Capitan Littorio to investigate. (they suspect that the nature of Bagi is alien, but they are wrong)

an overview

The legio gain 4 gear points and use for give to the leader a Weapon X and Utility Belt.
The Baker Safari won the initiative.

Here the deployment of the leagues:

1 TURN

Errol has the initiative, however he decide to wait the move of the fascists.
The blackshirts run and open fire to Errol, nothing.
Errol responds to fire, 4 HITS and the blackshirts are KO  :D
Blackshirts "We are under heavy fire! Retreeeeeeeeeeeat!!"  :-X
Errol "Not Bad for my first shot!"  :D

Errol exalted by his lucky shot, allows the activation of an additional enemy unit.
Giulietta make her move and open fire to Errol. She hit him! He is injured now, but she suffer from the return fire too.
Giulietta "Not all you opponents will be so easy, tesoruccio! (darling)   >:D

Errol think that is better to find a cover now. ;)
Errol "Mh, I should not underestimate the little girl... ouch! She hits hard..."  :-X

Winston runs to take the major plot.
Winston "Wooof Wooof" Droooooooooooooooollll  ;D

The remaining legionaries complete their movement and shooting, but Winston suffer only 1 wound. (he has health 12 after all)
Capitan Littorio "This is impossible! HOW could it survive to such a volume of fire?!  :o

2 TURN

Winston win the challange and take the major plot.
Tired and injured from the hunting of the fascists, Bagi instinctively feels that it's better to trust in the huge bulldog and decide to follow him.

From his cover, Errol fire, two eritreans are down, but now Winston seem an easy prey for the shooting of the legionaries.
He is injured again, but will recover next turn.
Errol "Damn! That dog sometime is too impetuous!"

3 TURN

Winston rush Giulietta and survive to the return fire. From now a long and hard brawl will begin, each side injuring and recovering.
Giulietta "Dannato cane rognoso... e pure bavoso!" (Damned mangy dog... and slobbering too!)  >:(  :-X
Errol move and open fire, at least to intercept some of the opponents that could rush Winston. However one of the paratroopers and the eritreans rush Winston.
Eritreans "Follow me comrades! We must help our lieutenant!"
One of the eritreans is down during the brawl with winston. Winston continue to lose wounds, but still resist.
Capitan Littorio and the other paratrooper open fire to Errol. He is HIT, now is Health is ONLY 6!
Capitan Littorio "Splendid! Soon the VICTORY will be ours!"  >:D

4-5 TURNS
In these turns the brawl continue. Winston is a extremely tough opponent and the legionaries suffer the lost of one of the paratroopers and the last eritreans. While Winston recover from his injuries until Health 10. Errol is lucky, he could rush Giulietta before Capitan Littorio and his henchman could finish him. Errol is charged from the last paratrooper and Winston from the Capitan Littorio.
Capitan Littorio "NO! We can NOT[ lose! Not against a stupid bulldog!"  >:(

6 TURN
In the last turn Giulietta is down and Capitan Littorio has only Health 6. Errol and Winston have Health 8. The scenario is won from the Baker Safari that mantain the control of the major plot.
Errol "Quick Winston! Leave these bad guys to lick their wounds... Gooood doggie! You saved the day!"  :D
Capitan Littorio "DANNATI (Damned)! But NEXT time I will be VICTORIOUS!  >:( ...and anyway I do not think that the micetta rosa (pink kitten) is an alien, so I have not lost anything! RETREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!"  :-[

Later, Errol will look in the eyes of his scared prey and finally will understand his mistake about hunt animals just for fun.
He will cure and feed Bagi. Grateful, Bagi will decides to accompany Errol in his new adventures.  :)

Dark Elves Harpies

Here my four harpies for my Monster Encounters that will be used in my Realm of Chaos campaign. I painted them with the classic paint scheme from the 1994 Dark Elf Harpies. They are not oldhammer miniatures (still avalaible now from citadel, but in resin, while mine is in metal) however I really could not like the older citadel harpies ;)
