Blake and I get together occasionally here at the office for a wargame over my lunch hour. Today we played Song of Blades & Heroes as an intro game for Blake. He has put together a warband of Celtos Orcs which look really good on the table. My Tauren Warband (affectionately named "Udder Devastation") has seen lots of action but they are a 50/50 bunch that I'm still learning to play with. 

   

We went over the campaign rules but essentially played a straight up game to get him used to the conventions of SoBaH. His warband missed a couple rounds early on which hampered his maneuverability while I was able to get in position to avoid his mounted orcs (they are designed to be hard hitters) and hit his lesser units. I managed to gruesome kill with a long shot and caused morale rolls, which became a theme of the game. 

   

Pictured at left are the Mounted Orcs, which I was able to avoid the whole game. Meanwhile, shown in the picture at right, my Scytheclaw raptor, Thangal (tank) and Morova of the Sands initiate combat and begin to break the Orcs. Morova would knock down the orc grunt facing her (with spear), and Thangal would gruesome kill him as he lay, prompting the others to take morale cks. The orc Leader is the one with the sword. The raptor rushed in and on the turn he makes contact he gets a +1 since he has the "Dashing" skill. This resulted in another gruesome kill for which morale had to be taken again by the orcs, making the leader run off the board, which took the orcs below 50% -- which caused yet another morale check. In the end a single orc would remain to surrender the field...

My minis are from the WoW minis game. I have finished repainting Thangal, the black Tauren and have him statted up like a shaman tank. The raptor I have not touched and will not do too much to it since I like the paint job on him (just needs some wash on the gold jewelry and feather highlights). Morova of the Sands is the female with the moose horns. I have done extensive work on her and stil have some to go (the rest of her cowl and the horns, both on her head and her cowl, as well as those sticking out of her shoulders. The other two I have yet to start. The paint job they come with is pretty (just) table-ready, but they repaint pretty easily.
