Xerxis vs Thargosh, 500pts assassination

Friendly game versus my local friendly legion player, Xerxis to play with some of my rarely used minies.
He had: Thargosh, Carni, Seraph, 2x Shredder, Warmongers (4), 2 Shepherds, Gobbers and a Chieftain.
I had: Xerxis, Cannoneer, 5 Arcuarii, 6 Cetrati, 2 Guardians and 6 Swordsmen
Highlights:
Killing some warmongers and the Chief on my feat charge with the Cetrati.
For him, relativily easy killing a lot of my medium based infantry.
Thargosh getting damaged by a warmonger with a beserk attack.
Outcome:

He left all his beasts full of fury, and the guardian could kill thargosh .
Lessons learned:
Deathshroud is a strong signature spell.
Cataphracts are less though without Makeda.

Morghoul vs Kromac, 500pts Assassination

500 points friendly against my regular Circle enemy and one of my old-time friends. I have played Makeda vs Kaya against him a dozen of times. But now for something completely different...
He had: Kromac, Warpwolf Alpha, Gorax, Ravagers (4) + Shaman, Whitemane, 2 Sentry stones and 2 Shifting stones
I had: Morghoul, 2 Krea's, 2 Drakes, 2 Savages and full unit of Paingivers
Highlights:
Controlling the Warpwolf one turn by putting everything from a Drake and Krea on it.
Killing a Ravager ad the Shaman with a blast from a Drake with Prescience
The paingivers doing 2 enrages and killing some stumpies on turn and doing two heals and killing two stumpies the next.
For him, damaging most warbeasts bady and killing some, a lot would have died the next turn.
Outcome:
He left Kromac to close to a Krea and Drake. Spray, Abuse, Paralatic Field and two attacks later mr Kromac was death
Lessons learned:
Morghoul can be powerful... if you meet the right enemy.
Morghoul, Drake, Krea and Savage play well together.

On my workbench

Since I have not posted for a while because I dont get to play that much because I am tiered and easily annoyed because of this medical condition, here tada: on my workbench.

The box of Karax I bought cheap(ish), thanks to the new gameshop in Rotterdam!

The catapult I got for my birthday (thanks guys!), the guardian I won in the tourney 2 months ago (and finaly got in last Friday and reposed today) and the epic Morghoul I won for best painted, on a new "epic" base.

The soultokens I also got for best painted.

Makeda vs Madrak, 500pts assassination

I enjoyed this game more then a lot of people think, I was only annoyed by the dice down because I wanted to finish this off.
He had:
Mardrak, Dire Troll, Axer, Impaler, Champions, full Kreilstone, Storyteller and Smoke Gobbers
I had: Makeda, Krea, Drake, Guardian, full Cetrati, full Ferox, min Paingivers, Smokers.
Highlights:
Both armies were so though we getting nowhere.
For me finishing of his mauler and a lot of other stuff.
For him finishing of the kitties.
Outcome:
Dice down.
Lessons learned:
Stay cool.
I would have been better of flanking this brick and attacking it from a lot off different sides.

Fight!

Dice down!
