Age of Sigmar: Spearhead - Lizards and Trees Clash in Shyish!

The day after my game with Orion, last week, I rolled back out to the Warhammer Store to play a quick game with John! I have another game planned for tomorrow, so I thought I'd best get this game report done, before I get TOO FAR behind on these again! 

John played with the store's Seraphon Starscale Warhost. Lots of BIG LIZARDS! 

All set up and ready to go. 

The Seraphon took the first turn and Kroxigors and Saurus Oldblood General (on a CARNOCAUR!) charged the Treelord and one of the units of Tree-Revenants. 

Some damage was dealt to the Treelord. The Treelord smashed on of the Kroxigor into pasted and the Carnosaur ate the entire unit of Tree-Revenants!? Even the Branchwych took some damage from... I don't know... lightning that shot out of one of the lizards fists...? Or something...? 

I think this was save rolls for the Tree-Revenants (5+ normally, but everything in the Seraphon army has at least Rend 1...) 

At the end of the turn, the Treelord and Branchwych remembered to use lay lines to heal one, then the Treelord slipped away using Strike and Fade. 

On my turn The Tree-Revenants charged the Kroxigor and finished off a second one. They charged in mostly just to prevent them and the Carnosaur from charging the Branchwych on their next turn! 

The Treelord charged one of the units of Saurus Warriors... 

Finally some completely average rolls meant the Treelord took two damage and squashed half the units of Saurus Warriors! 

CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!  On the Seraphon's second turn the Carnosaur and remaining Kroxigor ate the second unit of Tree-Revenants... 

A second unit of Saurus Warriors charged in to join the battle with the Treelord... I kind of expected it to go more or less the same as the previous round... take a few wounds, finish off the first unit of Saurus Warriors... 

And then I started rolling again like I usually do... 

The Treelord's attacks... 

All his attacks hit on 4+ and wound on 2+... so... one hit... and then i rolled a one to wound.. 

Not. One. Wound. dealt... 

And then the Saurus Warriors chopped down the Treelord... WTF!? 

The Treelord has a 3+ Save... The Saurus DO have Rend -1, but still, that leaves the Treelord at 4+ for a save - it should, statistically, reduce the hits in half... 

They did their attacks, I could not roll anything higher than three... 

The last Kroxigor chased down the Branchwych General

and pulped her... 

The Kurnothi Hunters managed to murder a few Saurus Warriors... 

Carnosaur and General moved up... 

So the Kurnothi fucked off in a different direction using Strike and Fade, again, bringing them to where the Treelord was returning (using handy battle tactic card!) 

The Kurnothi Hunters managed to seize an objective and shoot up and finish off a Saurus Warrior unit

Treelord also managed to survive the Carnosaurs inevitable attacks and seized an objective on my last turn...

The game ended with the Seraphon winning 18-15 (which, I think, was the same score I had in Orions game the day before!?) 

While I did manage to remember to use Ley Lines a few times, it looks like i COMPLETELY FORGOT that Tree-Revenants can be brought back as reinforcements?! DOH!? 

I've wondered why the Treelord isn' the General in the Sylvaneth army. They are Heroes in regular Age of Sigmar, so they can be the General in a Sylvaneth army. I guessed maybe they didn't want to make the General TOO deadly AND hard to kill in Spearhead...? And then I played against the Seraphon... Sweet Jiminiy that Carnosaur riding Oldblood is nasty!!
