I was fighting an eight player battle on the weekend (500pts each core units only) where I have one unit of Plague Monks take out five of the enemies units! The strange thing was that before this battle i was nearly massacared every single battle and i was still fighting the same people; Dwarves and Lizardmen. I was going over it in my head but I can't figure out what i did differently or how I can use this for my other battles.


-I was fighting along sideChaos Dwarves, Tzeentch (is that right? demons Undead. There was a rock in the middle that we were allowed to deploy one unit beside that also gave all chaos units within 6" of it stubborn all the rest were in reserve. The Undead guy and me were going to charge and attack head on while the Caos Dwarves shot them down and the Tzeentch used there magic. I had my Plague monk unit with the Burning Hatred banner go near the rock while the other was in reserve. I was told to aim for a group of dwarves, but aiming with Plague Monks is next to impossile. I ended up rolling a 3 for my banner test and ran within 2" of a Lizardman unit. Amazingly the tip of the last model in the back rank was within the reach of the rock. The Lizardmen charged and won the first round, killing my champion and taking away my frenzy. I figured the next round I would loose the unit and that would be all. By this time My reserve unit had come in but was still far away. The shooter and the magic users were doing nothing and my undead we in a world of there own.

The next combat phase I actually managed to win, and the Lizard men failed there leadership, but theyfell back 11". I then rolled a 12 and overtook them! I was behind there lines but too far to charge anything so I just oriented myself on the dwarves that I was supposed to hit in the first place and they in turn moved themselves to face me. When I charged I made an amazing roll and killed his entire first rank, he then tried to fall back but I overran him so hard I hit the side of the second Lizardman unit!

At this point my second Plague monk unit got engaged with the second dwarf unit by the rock. They both ended up being stuck there the entire game. The Chaos Dwarves got off one shot before they got tied up in close combat with the Lizardmen that i just rammed. The Tzeentch guys only got off one shot with the magic and killed 3 of the Lizardmen, the rest of his guys were killed off earlier in the game and the Undead were finnaly almost in the battle. I on the other hand caused the Lizardmen i just charged to panic and overran them as well.

I ended up right behind a group of Humans that had up to this point been doing about as much as the Undead. The next turn I charged them in the back while the undead got the front. I killed seven of the Humans and make them turn and run but I tripped over my own feet and it was left to the Undead to clean the rest of them up (Even though I did all the work.) I then hit the side of a third Dwarf Unit and tore them appart.

At the end of the game my one unit of Plage Monks picked up four banner all on there own. They didn't have a champion or their frenzy, all they had was the Banner of Hatred.

Wow.
