Fastest Fantasy Fracas

I guess I have to keep the posts going to keep my viewers interested.  Today I did a quick 2000 point fantasy game to get used to using warriors of chaos.  I'm going to be filling in for a friend who can't make it to a doubles tournament due to farming issues, and I get to use the army he made.  I boosted it from 1250 point to 2000 by adding some small units: 2 units of axe throwing horsemen, a slaanesh pleasure giant, and two units of seven forsaken.  The rest of the army was a couple of wizards in a unit of warriors and two units of five khorne knights.

I was playing against my partner for the tournament's beastmen army, which was basically an eight man minotaur unit (six plus general and battle standard bearer) supported by a couple of other units.

To cut a short story even shorter, we played blood and glory and I won on turn one.  His minotaurs failed their frenzy test twice, bsb re-roll didn't help, then charged my scouting unit of marauder horsemen and pursued another five inches.  This allowed me double charge (flank and front) with both chaos knight units.  I won the combat by nine and ran him down.

Is there a moral to this story?  It is hard to say, but I think we both learned valuable lessons from this to use in the upcoming tournament.  Don't fail frenzy tests, and use chaos knights to kill everything.

New Blog, New Dark Eldar

Hi everybody, and welcome to my blog.  To start things off let's look at some of the warhammer I've been painting.  First off some shots of the first three warriors I have done.
