The following is my opponents point of view from our last battle. To read the Skaven point of view see "My first Skaven battle, twas my first victory" (don't know how to make a link?)


You Brought WHAT to a Battle?!!

Skargrim kicked a Black Orc as he strode into camp and tugged on Chompa's chain to get him to stop gnawing on one of the snotling cooks. "Git up, ladz, sum gerbils iz comin' an it's time for a lit'l scrappin'!" Skargrim had been tasked by Grimgor to watch the tiny village, with its stockpiles of food, and kill anyone or anything that came close.

Skargrim quickly mustered his troops, and set them to defend the middle of the village. Of course the ladz would charge once they saw the enemy, but it was nice to have some semblance of a formation, at least at the beginning of the battle.

As the rat army rounded the large hill to the west of town, the ladz readied their choppas and arrers, and the goblins loaded up the ballistas. Some of Skargrim’s bigger orcs were already calling dibs on the lead unit of rats.

Surprisingly, around the hill came a giant contraption that looked like a large bell. “Alright ladz, dat’s probably some hummie cannon deys stoled, so let’s git ready to catch some cannon balls!” Skargrim prepared to target the cannon’s crew first with his Prodda. A flying fanatic was already crawling into the barrel of the Fanatic Cannon, and Skargrim considered targeting the cannon’s crew with that as well. The flying night gobbos were surprisingly good at destroying things like that.

The rat army formed up ranks, and the rat standing on top of the cannon signaled for the line to move forward. Some riflemen set up on the flanks and began to fire ineffectively at the orcs…”Dems are even worse shots den da arrer boyz!” cackled Skargrim. Surprisingly, the cannon did not set up on a hill or prepare to fire. Suddenly, after rolling forward about 20 yards into the village, the rat with the staff and sword atop the bell called a halt. With great flourish, the rat struck the bell with his staff. The rats howled in delight and made bizarre squeaking noises.

Skargrim’s ladz looked at each other and began laughing. He heard one of his shamans say loudly “did dem gerbils really bring a bell to a battle?!! HAH!” The ladz doubled over in laughter. Skargrim was glad…this would help his ladz not be as afraid once the rat’s lightning and disease spells started to break through their magical defenses.

Then, to Skargrim’s utter horror, the ladz decided it must not be a battle after all…just a traveling circus! About half of his army began to head back to camp! “No ladz, no! It’s time to crush deze rats!” But the ladz paid him no heed, and went back to eating their Hummie stew. Because the squig herders were laughing so hard, they didn’t play their instruments or prod the squigs, and the squigs suddenly began to bounce furiously about, looking for rat (or goblin) food to eat! The herders screamed in horror and ran back to camp to get some more squigs out of the squig cages.

The rats moved forward and now, with only half of his army left, Skargrim knew he was in trouble….
