“The Mentalists know no fear, challening a Nurgle team some 31 points higher in TS. A very enjoyable game ensued.

With the nigglers out, a bonus RR and Mad Hettie on strength drugs the match was far more even. For once managing to break free of tentacle daddy's accursed, clinging feelers, Mad Hettie was able to sprint for a good catch and the first TD (Dr. Thranst narrowly making the throw after momentarily forgetting the Foul Appearance of the Rotters).

A Blitz! on the resulting kick-off gave Vulthran the ball and some GFI tripping beastmen let him run off for a fortunate but timely the score. The Dark Elves were 2-0 up by turn 4.

Some good play by the Sharp Edges was undone by a beer-influenced slip-up, and Mad Hettie was able to sprint across the pitch for a score-saving 2dblock.

However, generous to a fault, the Dark Elves' desire to skill up led to a fumbled 2+ throw which gave the Rotters a last ditch chance. Sadly for them, the numerous dice rolls proved too much. The half ended with the Mentalists clinging to their precious 2-0 lead.

Another Blitz! (and some more unfortunate rolls for Nurgle's boys) briefly returned the ball to the Dark Elves. Although they quickly lost it, tentacle daddy tied up Mandae and Dr. Thranst, and the armour finally started to break (fortunately almost all KOs or Stunned, even the three players I left prime to be crowd-surrfed), they were able to irritate the Rotters enough to hold them to a Turn 8 Score.

A good game with its fair share of skill, comedy misclicks and stupid, stupid errors on the part of both coaches. What won it for the Mentalists was some supreme good luck throughout the first half, and that one fatal error by kaaskop.

Praise nuffle, praise beer.
The Dark Elves march on, and the rematch awaits.”
