Huzzah!

victory is mine! albeit a minor one. The marching list proved most fun and most effective against my Bretonnian foe, my slayers contributing most admirably to the battle by holding the Bretonnian lances in place long enough for my iron breakers and thane to win their own battle and swing dramatically into the flank!

The battle wasn't perfect however and I made some key mistakes mid game. In my haste to run down the Bretonnian foe I let my bearded horde become separated and spread out. The Bretonnian’s rallied and counter attacked dramatically, taking out both my warrior units and my iron breakers in the process. I was only saved in the end when his cavalry pursued too far and landed directly in the charge range of my long beards and battle standard bearer. My counter-counter attack scored the destruction of two of his three remaining knight units leaving him with only a single unit on the table, locked in combat with my stubborn grudge thrower crew.

At the end of the day I held 3 standards over his 1 and we were equal in table quarters resulting in a minor victory for myself. some minor changes are being made to the list, my thane's rune weapon for example and the iron breakers are going to be displaced by a unit of hammerers, a unit I feel more useful in this kind of list where the odd charge can occur and having S6 can make all the difference. Not to mention having less chance of breaking should my battle line get separated again, something which seems to be the largest weakness of the Dwarven steam roller.

Arkeh out
