Skaveny battles

Took 80 slaves (2x units of 40), 24 clanrats, BSB, Grey Seer, Eneginner + doomrocket,  Doomwheel,Warp lightning cannon And 6 gutter runners to a party.  Heres what happened.

Vs daemons.  Was nasty.  Mr doomrocket was skitterleaped and took half a a massive unit of bloodletters with the rocket.  10 were lost to the curse of the horned rat the turn after.  leaving 7.
Doomwheel took a mauling from flesh hounds, but took them out eventually with 2 wounds remaining
 The remains of the bloodletters were tied up by slaves, which they killed a lot of, until broken by a doomwheel flank charge (and a brave engineer rear charge).
Bloodrushers took the long way round away from the Doomwheel. Attempting to get round the back of the skaven blocks.  Clantrats made a wise march as far as they could get away from them.  A charge from slaves + doomwheel made short work of the bloodcrushers.
Result was somewhat a massacre.  Wiped out the daemons, lost 50 or so slaves.  No shooting did not help the daemons.  And the doomrocket cheese was horrendous.  He gets man of the match.  Did not expect to win, it's a horribly efficient list at murdering things.  Was pleasently surprides how everything worked.

Againts high elves, was slightly worse.  Lost one of my slaves turn one.  Managed to teleport the doomrocket again, killed a bunch of archers.
Giant Eagle ate the cannon.  Swordmasters did all sort of nasty to my doomwheel.  Which spent the rest of the game misfriring to 1 d6 movement and killing gutter runners. It did see off the swordmasters though.  The doomwheel was probably victim to my statement it had never rolled below strength 6 on it's shots (which was true at that point)
Dragon Princes charged into combat, and  I could not shift the knights with a clanrat flank charge.  eventually the princes won combat and my rats fled.  Grey Seer miscast skitterleap so he teleported behind the archers and blew up.  He was dragged the realm of chaos, but took a bunch of archers with him.
By the end of it, a single knight, and a mage was vs doomwheel.  Called it there, was turn 6 and My 150 point doomwheel was worth no way near a unit of dragon princes, plus a wounded mage.  I lost probably half my army to the horrid phoenix spell.

Skaven can be cheesy - when everything works. :D
