At Karargah we held an organisation of election based tournement at
2000pts under name Warhammer Cup 2007. This is my first match in this
organisation.
I knew Engin's army very well for this reason prepared a magic heavy
army list with 3 blocks of infantry, handgunners, archer screen. I had 2
hellblasters (always 2 is better than 1 :-)) and a great cannon to kill
the scary things and pistoliers to close any gaps. I usually take my Arch
Lector with War Altar in 2000pts and this time I gave him the mace of
hellstrum which he made great use
of.
Engin had 2 bolt throwers, 2 fast cavalry units -one with a hero-, a block
of executioners, 2 repeter crossbow units, a dispell scroll caddy and the
scary things; a dragon mounted lord and a war hydra.
Here is the initial deployment;

And then the scouts I suddenly see his scouts behind the wall I had
omitted.

Hey fellas we have nice targets here....

Turn 2 (forgot to take photo in turn 1) I have taken down 4 of his
scouts with my hellblaster when they came out. He hide his war hydra in
the woods and dragon behind the woods.

Huh what is the 5 differences between turn 2 and turn 3 ?
- The painted hellblaster is not here
- The crossbow detachment no longer exists
- There is a dragon in my line
- There is a war hydra in my line
- The fast cavalry has breached my lines

I choose to shoot at the dragon with hellblaster which wounds the dragon
and kills the lord, great cannon guesses the range right but gives only 1
wound. Meanwhile my handgunner detachment in left flank and pistoliers got
rid of his second fast cavalry unit. Both my swordsmen unit in right flank
and its halberdier detachment gets charged. 
After the halberdiers death I charge the dragon and he fells under the
strikes of mace of hellstrum. But his war hydra wins the combat and
failing the leadership both spearmen and swordsmen get off the table.
Great cannon takes down the war hydra now finding the clean shot.

The executioners are surronded all ways and finally disappear from the
scene.

This side of the table is clean (of dark elves)...

The remmants of dark elves;

The dispell caddy just stayed in the ruins and watched the game. :-))

Result : Empire Solid Victory
