Bob I've got a couple bags full of foam 'donut hole' pieces from all the army transport foam trays I've use for my armies. Do you want some of them so that maybe you can make a custom case or something for the cows/orks/daemons? I've been meaning to do something like that for the Legion of the Kraken.

Khorne has lost the most recent battle with Newton, Chaos god of Gravity Hopefully Khorne shall get the better of him next time. Hope everything's reparable though.

I have cases, I just hate loading/unloading. For quick trips in the car, a box is fine: they're already set up and in formation ready to start the battle when I get there! Thanks to everyone that helped me scour the parking lot for mino-bits.

that's really bad Bob, although it is good that there is not that many lost parts, let me know if you need a hand pinning parts

The minos were metal too right? That sucks big time.

Oh, that was horrible! I love it!!
I managed a win tonight against a good opponent with a tourney-level army, so my faith is still shaken.
Opponent was Warriors of Chaos with a Daemon Prince (Tzeentch, Lvl 4, Tendrils and Fury), a lvl 1 of Nurgle (Power Familiar and Scroll), a Tzeentch BSB on a disc (don't know what he had...Eye and Enchanted Shield, maybe?); 2x 11 Warriors of Slaanesh with S, M, Shields and Halberds; 6 Knights of Slaanesh with S, M; 2 Chariots of Slaanesh; 2x 5 warhounds; and 5 Horsemen with M and Flails.
My super high number of deploys allowed me to see where all his stuff was before commiting. I marginalized his Knights by deploying on the opposite end of the table from them, setting up my herds to screen the bulk of the cows in the middle of the table, with some dogs and minos moving around on one side.
He made me go first, so I drove forward as fast as my reluctant spawn would go. He didn't advance much, preferring to hang back and attempt to pound me with magic. I left some Minos and the Bestigors in position to charge his DP or BSB if they tried to fly behind. Despite throwing a mess of dispel dice, I couldn't dispel his magic, but luckily all it did was kill an ungor and 4 dogs.
My second turn I ran everything forward except the rear-guard. The herds were right in front of his lines, with the minos, doombull, giant, and spawn right behind (I'd wanted the spawn up front, but averaged 5" of movement!). He took the bait, and charged everything. The herds fled, I lost one of them (the other never rallied, fleeing off the table) in pursuit, as well as a unit of hounds that ran in to impassable terrain, but even that set up his flying things deep behind my main line, right where my rear-guard could charge them! Unfortunately, one of the fleeing herds landed mostly in front of my bestigor unit, blocking their charge, but not blocking the BSB, so he was obliged to join a unit of minotaurs in charging the daemon prince.
I charged all his forces that had failed to hit my fleeing herds: giant charged a chariot, which fled off the table; doombull and minos (in flank) charged a warrior unit and shattered it, leaving 4 alive that died in pursuit. The DP challenged by BSB, which couldn't refuse. I did no wounds, and took two, dieing. The Minos outnumbered and had flank, so the combat was a tie.
Mostly mopping up at this point. My Giant and a Spawn charged the other warrior unit after they'd fled from a long-range mino & spawn charge. The giant tried to jump up and down, but fell...landing on the warriors killing 5 of them. The spawn killed one too, I took only 2 wounds in return, and the warriors fled in to the dogs I'd positioned behind them. The doombull charged the knights, killing 3 and taking no wounds back. The DP and Minos fought for a few more turns, the DP eventually chasing the minos off the table, but took 2 wounds (for 1/2 points) in the process.
My opponent had to leave to eat at the end of turn 5, when all he had left was 1/2 DP, fleeing BSB, and 3 Chaos Knights. I had 2 of 4 mino units, doombull, khorngors, giant, spawn, and a few dogs. Points-wise it was a Solid Victory for Moloch's Stampede!

Wonderful! Glad you got in a good game like this one instead of a 2 hour noob fest with me multitasking between homework So when luck isn't totally against you, the list holds up pretty well. Guess we shall see how things go, one day I shall take on the Khornecows in a real game.

it is really a Stampede, looks like Bob is getting the hang of his Khornecows now, I'm next after Brian to give it a try to Moloch's Livestock
right now I'm painting or Golden Demon, but after that the Waaagh will be back
