[Chaos] CitOW Game 43: The Horned Rat reigns in the Old World!

3cl1ps3

Man I really fucked myself with that Bolt of Change. What a time to forget region order xD

38thDoe

I thought it was because I said I loved Tzeentch.

3cl1ps3

Well, admittedly, it will mean I won't feel bad if you win xD

Rius

Hypothetical question time!

Slaanesh has control of my cultist in the Empire. Can I assign a hit to my own cultist to kill it? Can Slaanesh?

Sterica

It is not your cultist, so I think you know the answer.

And if you get enough hits to kill everything (unlikely, but possible), you would have to kill it.

Rius

I always get confused, because it's my cultist, but slaanesh is controlling it, so it's slaanesh's cultist, etc etc.

Thanks for the refresher

Sterica

It's still a Bloodsworn, meaning it would count as two for domination if you had the upgrade, and it wouldn't be able to ferry Nobles if Slaanesh had his upgrade. But it's not your cultist, and we all know how much Khorne loves traitors anyways.

38thDoe

I've never really been in the situation where it applied but can I assign hits to it? Would I have to assign hits to it if I roll 9,000 hits?

Sterica

When have you been able to hit your own figures?

Don't over think it. It's your Bloodsworn. That's all.

And yes, you can sacrifice to heroes, Corsairs and other nastiness.

Rius

Ok, then; here we go!

Troll Country (3d6.hitsopen(4,6)=3) And we're off to the races! Kill the Leper and two Seductresses.

The Empire (3d6.hitsopen(4,6)=5) Holy Mother of Slaughter! Kill... the Daemonette, the Seductress, the MC'd Bloodsworn and the Acolyte.

Sterica

You can still roll in Bretonnia, Estalia and the Badlands.

I want Tzeentch to decide on his power before you roll anywhere else.

Rius

Obviously things just got interesting in the Empire, especially for Tzeentch. Pending Slaanesh's rolls he has a difficult, if not impossible, choice to make. And then there's Tilea!

In the meantime, I will dispense with the remaining inconsequential regions.

Bretonnia (3d6.hitsopen(4,6)=4) Well then. Kill the Rat Ogre and two Clan Rats.

Estalia (3d6.hitsopen(4,6)=1) Kill a Peasant; things have gone well enough elsewhere.

The Badlands (3d6.hitsopen(4,6)=2) Kill the Clan Rats.

Rius

Lots of strings of sixes in this last meaningless round of combat; shame none of them showed up a little earlier

Sterica

I think your minions are releasing a lot pent-up frustration.

Rius

They have been smothered under the crushing yolk of Vermin Outbreak for too long!

Really, though; in this turn alone I've rolled 15 dice and gotten 15 hits. Previous to this, I think I'm 13 for 30, quite a ways below average. Seems to happen all the time when I play Khorne =/

3cl1ps3

I will wait to see Slaanesh and Horned Rat's rolls before deciding the fate of my acolyte if that's possible.

Sterica

It's been hit already, and thus cannot be hit further. I mean, you can wait if you wish, but it won't have any impact on the Acoloyte's fate.

3cl1ps3

I know. I want to see what, if anything, their dice do before I decide if it lives or dies.

blahmcblah

Pointless roll out of the way:

Bretonnia: Man, that one Rat Ogre is just crap. Whiff.

38thDoe

The Empire: 2 hits, 2 peasants killed.

blahmcblah

The Empire: 2 hits. The Blood[strike]sworn[/strike]letter is my only available target, and the other hit is wasted.

Rius

I killed the Bloodsworn, heh.

blahmcblah

Bloodsworn, Bloodletter, whatever you're calling your minions nowadays. Either way, no choices to make for me.

Rius

I killed everything, sorry ><

What do you say, Tzeentch?

3cl1ps3

I will let the Acolyte die.

Rius

On to Tilea.

Tilea (5d6.hitsopen(4,6)=6) Well alrighty then. Kill the Leper and five Acolytes.

Good game, sir Rat! With exactly 50 VP, I might add.

3cl1ps3

Bit mad at me, eh Khorne?

Rius

Well, I suppose I could kill the Rat Daemon in Tilea, but that would be a departure from my "kill as many dudes as possible now that Vengeance actually works" strategy.

And it wouldn't exactly be fair to Slaanesh; if I decided to prevent his two regions from ruining it's only fair that I do so to yours as well.

3cl1ps3

I think you've been in cahoots with the Rat all along!

I have photos! Secret tweets! Eeeeeeeee-mail chains!

Haha. Good game, everyone. Congrats blahmcblah!

Rius

Actually, it looks like 52 VP for the Rat since he'll tie for second in the Border Princes.

Sterica

Continue rolling and I'll wrap this up later tonight.

3cl1ps3

Tilea: 1 die: whiff

Sterica

Nobody called me out on this, but there is NO rolls in Border Princes. It is Havoc'd.

blahmcblah

Crappy time for the dice to fail me, but I guess it doesn't matter anymore. 1 hit in Tilea. Kill the last Acolyte.

blahmcblah

I was really hoping Tzeentch would save his Acolyte in The Empire and get me over 60 points just because. I would've gotten over 70 if both The Empire and Tilea ruined, but because of Havoc I was guaranteed to win if Tilea didn't ruin, so whatever. Thanks for not stabbing me in the end, Khorne. (Note to self: don't piss off Vengeance'd Khorne). Can you believe that with the Bloodletter upgrade and a Bloodletter in Tilea, Khorne would've scored at least 38 points for the win this round? Insane!

Good game all, thanks much Rorus for hosting!

The Bloodletter upgrade is incredibly more powerful than I first gave it credit for; really, all of Big K's upgrades are good. Vengeance, Bloodletters and Bloodthirster are a hard trio to pick from.

blahmcblah

It's too bad multiple regions didn't end up ruining this turn so I could show off the power of The Under Empire, which I didn't end up using a single time this game (even though I should've at least once, back in Bretonnia).

70 points?
Well I learned a valuable lesson:

Never go up against a rat with an expert deck on the line!
Ahahahaha
Ahahahaha
Ahaha-erk
