High Elves vs Vampire Counts | Warhammer The Old World (Live Battle Report)
Ойындар
In the shadowed realm of ancient forests, the clash of steel and sorcery looms. High Elves, radiant in their valor, stand as stalwart guardians against the encroaching darkness of Vampire Counts. Gleaming armor catches the dappled sunlight as they muster their arcane might. Across the spectral divide, the undead legions, led by immortal lords, advance with an unholy hunger. Mist shrouds their advance, a chilling harbinger of doom. Amidst whispered incantations and the clangor of war, the fate of realms hangs in precarious balance.

I love the deliberation and thinking out loud. Very informative :) Keep up the good content :)
Correct me if i'm wrong, but when you roll to rally the Lothern sea guards, you rolled a 7 and : they didn't have spirit leech anymore ("Until the end of this turn"), so they were leadership 8, and they could have reroll the rally test with the Veteran rule (it's a leadership test that's not a break).
and no panic for Bolt throwers and war machines in general (this not sure 100%)
The vampire standard bearer allows to reroll any leadership test : thus you can reroll the failed invocation of nehek. That gives a 92% chance of passing any invocation (with Ld 8), with this reroll :)

Oh that's a great thing to point out! I never really considered the value of rerolling leadership for VC beyond testing to restrain and resisting crumbling.

As soon as I read 92% I shouted LEROYYYYYYY JENNNNNKINS
How can the blood knights unit do that movement at the first turn? You have drilled, so you can reform before marching, but at the end you cannot pivot 90º unless you were fast cavalry i think

The unit wheeled at the end. When in a marching column, the unit's frontage is very small and it only takes about 3.5" of movement to wheel a full 90 degrees. They had 21" of movement overall and didn't use anywhere near that much to get into position so we weren't fussing over the wheel distance because we knew they had sufficient movement for the maneuver.
👍👍
and dragon princes have ward save 6+ not 5+

I think the 5+ ward was from the spell being cast on them every turn
Silver Helms have first charge so no ranks for zombies

Oh good catch, 3 more zombies should have died from combat resolution. Kind of a wash seeing as I forgot to rez them in the next turn anyway.
