Devourers versus Kelts
I recently played two battles against the same Kelt force using the same Devourer force. I won once and lost once. The army lists and reports are to follow.
Devourers:
Kalyar the Awakened
Tyrant of Vile-Tys
2* Voracious Warriors
Flesh Eater A
Master of Carnage w/ Ordeal of Torment
Eclipsant
Total = 399 pts.
Kelts:
Baal the Conqueror w/ Vorpal Axe also given Ointment of Goddess Geas and the Scarlet Talisman making him brutal as well.
Danu Warrior
Giant Barbarian with sword
2 * Kelt Centaurs
2* Kelt Druids
6* Kelt Fianna
Total = 406 pts.
Battle 1
The first game opened with me rolling a one for the Approach. We set up and I centralized my forces because Centaurs are faster than I am. He spread his out a bit.
The next thing is I rolled a one for the Tactical roll. He managed to keep Baal in reserve but I managed to make several charges and then the Fear started and he started rolling ones. No one fled but as they were already activated but that (-2) was going to make a big difference. He managed to charge one of my Voracious Warriors with Baal. He got to divide up combat. He chose the one with Baal first. My Voracious warrior was outnumbered and I lost the initiative. He had declared war fury and my first voracious warrior went sloof. Baal then pursued into Kalyar. I again lost Initiative but dropped my attack down so that I could have more dice. I used two in attack and the rest went into defense. I survived that round and managed to hit Baal with a light wound though it was ignored due to the ointment of the Goddess. The other combat was my Flesh Eater and Tyrant both on a Fianna. Needless to say I won Ini and since he had declared War fury I wasted her before she got a chance to attack. I then pursued into 2 separate figures. The Tyrant went against the Danu (now Spasm warrior) while the Flesheater went against another Fianna. I quickly duffed the Fianna but the Spasm warrior and Tyrant ended combat with a light wound on the Spasm Warrior.
Turn 2: I rolled a 6 for the Tactical roll. The centaurs joined the fray. One went against my Flesheater and the other joined the fight against Kalyar. The Giant also joined the fight against Kalyar, as did two Fianna.. My Eclipisant charged one of the Fianna on Kalyar. Also my other Voracious warrior charged the Centaur on Kalyar. My master of Carnage joined the fray involving the Flesheater. One of the Druid then charged my Master of Carnage. Combat was interesting. Kalyar survived another round of combat unharmed. The Eclipisant made short work of her foe. And help ease the burden on Kalyar and pursued into the other Kelt Fianna. The Voracious warrior traded light wounds with one of the Centaurs. The Tyrant double sixed the Spasm warrior and took no wounds in return having won the ini. Master of Carnage wiped out the Druid against him. Flesheater Killed his opponent. Forgot to mention that the Master of Carnage managed to get off his Ordeal of torment making the Tyrant Str 13. Very nice.
Turn 3: I lost tactical with a 1 again. However this time it was not as unfortunate as I was in good position. My troops came up sooner than his did and they charged his remaining troops. I killed everyone in this turn except for Baal and a Druid.
Turn 4: Got Tyrant in base contact with Baal. Master of carnage stayed away from Druid. Got off Ordeal again and once more made the Tyrant Str 13. Baal was badly outnumbered and I won Ini. My Tyrant failed to kill him but I did take him to critically wounded. The Eclipisant killed him with Double 6’s. It was sweet.
Battle 2
I once again lost the Approach roll. We set up this time a different person was running the kelts. He had watched the last game and setup differently. He kept all of his troops together and well away from mine.
Turn 1 I of course lost Tactical with a 1. I managed to charge in with my Flesheater and a Voracious warrior. They died in a massed combat.
Turn 2 Lost tactical again with a 1. More charges, though, this time I had the satisfaction of seeing lots of stuff flee. Baal however managed to charge my Tyrant along with the Giant and then of course two Fianna. I lost Ini and he of course had declared war fury… Knowing that I had very little chance of survival. I declared all attack as the Tyrant is fierce so he would get in his last licks. OOPs forgot to mention my Master of Carnage gave Tyrant two points of fury. I of course died but I also managed to hit four times. The first I directed at Baal. It was a light wound and he ignored it. The nest went on his giant. I seriously wounded it. The next went against Baal again. DOUBLE 6’s. SWEET. Baal died along with my Tyrant. Oh the last hit went against a Fianna critically wounding her. My opponent pursued into Kalyar. Kalyar again dropped attack points for dice and put two in attack and seven in defence. He lived and wounded a couple of fianna whilst getting now wounds himself. My Eclipsant that charged died because I lost Ini and I got double 6’ed.
Turn 3: I lost Tactical again with a 1… AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! My other surviving troops were charged. Kalyar managed to hold his own, but I forgot Counterstrike… Damn everyone had chosen the minimum to hit him and I could have so punished them for that. My other two figs died in massed combats. It was most sad. With only Kalyar alive I conceded the game to my opponent though Now I ma thinking that I might have been able to win as Kalyar is a very hard fig against regular troops. Oh well no knowing now is there.

CARTER - I would like to help make confrontation more available to others. I can help with Devourers and Lions.

You mentioned that you dropped attack with Kaylar to get extra dice. I just hope that you are aware that you have to drop 2 ATT and 2 DEF to get 1 dice (unless you have sequence).
