Orcs & Goblins vs Tomb Kings Battle Report

Ok, so this isn't so much as a battle report as a recap. We called it about turn 5.

The final Screen shot.
Most of what I have left are goblin/night gob units. We kind of estimated that the big combat would end up with me routing and caught and destroyed. That would kill off my BSB. My General is under the 3" template over yonder.

My opponent did a excellent job neutralizing my characters and other threats. Close combat wasn't reached till the bottom of turn 4. He did a great job of shooting me (magic included) to pieces before I could come to grips with him. I think if we had played it out a few more turns he would have wiped the map with me.

Things I learned:
Seed of rebirth. A regen save of 6+ is a useless item when combined with a character who already has a ward save of 6+.
Don't loll about with Orcs & Goblins. Get stuck in as soon as possible!
Casket of Souls will literally eat your soul if you hang about.

Still working on getting all the game mechanics down. Special thanks to my opponent who was more than patient with my slow play.
