Battle Report : Punitive expedition

Today a Warhammer 3rd edition battle report (2000pts), Patatovich and his Slann against my Chaos horde.

Presence of the Slann Army of Ocytol'Ocylos and his acolyte wizard Thyashyo Ockci in the Old World is obscure, some people say that they try to find the truth around existance of human race who practice amphibian tortures and horrible rites where they eat frogs legs... If it's barbarian race really exist, they need to be punish !!

During their travel, the Slann Army crushed everything on it way. They now cross the Chaos lands and the Black Gods don't tolerate this insult. To prove his worship to Chaos, Dasmin Dull the Tormented promise to the Dark Gods the total destruction of the batrachians herd...

Ocytol'Ocylos Slann Army

Dasmin Dull the Tormented Chaos Army

Movements during the 1st and 2nd turn 

Bull Riders Approach

Armies advance

Chaos Dwarfs Allies

Nice Spawns Warriors unit!! 

Minotaurs Charge!!

Only 3 Chaos Marauders Horsemen survive from Slann Wizard Lightning Bolts,
but they finaly succeded their charge against Warriors Priests and
the Slann General.

12 on  Panic test for Minotaurs unit... Rout, Free hack, ect... No one survive.
Cold One are a real machines of destruction.

Movements during 3rd and 4th turn

Classic Venom Tribes trap !! It smell the Run Away...

A ferocious challenge of lightning Bolts between the two Wizards,
Where are the Chaos Gods when I need 6 on my dices?...

Chaos Dwarfs wrap Spawn Warriors

Lizardmen charge the Beastmen and my General

Movements during the 5th turn

This is the final point of long fight!! Only the Slann general is alive, he
slain my last Marauder. Arghh

Flank charge!!

11 on Panic test (Slann Magic Spell)... Rout of the beastmen unit,
Free Hack, my General is slain...  It smell no good for Chaos Army.

Final situation, with the death of Chaos general and the destruction
of my two hammers units, I think it's time to withdraw for the chaos Army

2000pts with 3rd edition rules, not so traumatic for Patatovich and me :)

Propositions to ameliorate the game play :

1° Add bonus to combat resolutions when you attack rear or flank enemie units.

2° Add the difference between winner/looser combat resolution to  the panic test result of looser.

Other conclusion, blast magic spell are really powerful but... c'est la vie :)
