Today with Kuba we played small pitched battle on 1000 points per side. Bretonnians wanted to take ancient Khemri relicts, but there were guardians – Tomb Kings raised from they graves to defend they treasure from Bretonnian thiefs.

We played in Aga i Ada in Leclerc – they have more terrains for 40k, so our board was empty, ruined part of Nekkekharan city. So there is another shop new for me, where we can play tabletop games in Wrocław (others are Bolter.pl on Podwale, Planszoweczka.pl in Astra and on Bielany and Feniks on Kołłątaja).

From Bretonnian side:
– 10 peasant archers in skirmish
– 6 Knights of the Realm (full command group)
– 20 men at arms with spears (full command group)
– 5 Grail Knights (full command group)
– paladin, battle standard bearer and damsel of the Lady.

From Tomb Kings side:
– 25 Tomb Guards (full command group)
– 20 archers
– Screaming skull catapult
– scorpion
– if I’m correct – priest and one more hero.

  • Bretonnians deployed in line.
  • Spells from Lore of Life. Used spell number three to heal damsel herself.
  • Defenders of the tomb.
  • Bretonnian were moving, undeads were stayig and shooting.
  • Scorpion arrived from underground.
  • Coming closer.
  • First charge due luck almost wiped out most of skeleton archers.
  • Due magic undeads managed to charge KoTR and broked them in combat by one point – one too much for KoTR, but not for army standard bearer.
  • Peasant infantry saw panic of KoTR unit and also runned for they lives.
  • Then both units managed to rally – happilly general was near to the men at arms infantry.
  • Tomb King elite charged brave army standard bearer.
  • They won combat result by three points, but standard bearer is a Grail Knight, so he was able to hold – I rolled twice for morale and second roll was good, he held out.
  • KoTR unit passed leadership and was able to charge on the flank.
  • The game was other, thank you Kuba for good game.

Summary:
– it was interesting game, as I don’t remember when I played against Tomb Kings – I remember games against Vampires.
– Grail Knights killed scorpion plus in some way catapult, as it got misfire when was shooting against them and was destroyed.
– I should charge archers with every knight, so probably I would get in touch with Tomb Guards faster.
– my battle standard bearer (Grail Vow, Sword of Might and Gromril Great Helm) plus KoTR unit – the most succesfull units from this battle.
– Men at arms – this game they were here – never get into combat. Archers did nothing as well.
