Somewhere in Border Princes ancient tomb was discovered in heavily forested area. Area was heavily influenced by magic. Two groups of adventurers never returned and from third one only one hero returned totally insane. Empire along it Kislev ally gathered troops, as only survivor told horrific story about legion of living death.
We played with Jakub on 1600 points per side in Aga i Ala shop in Wrocław.
Almost everything I painted to Empire and Kislev army. Empire and Kislev battle line. Guardians of the tomb. Plowed fields were problematic for good side cavalry. Allied cavalry moved forward. Three of Kislev winged lancers were shot down by undead archers. Winged lancers charged. Imperial great cannon succesfully eliminated three tomb guards and screaming skull catapult. Winged lancers almost completly wiped out archers, then were charged by undead constructs. Scorpion came from under earth and then charged great swords (yes – cossars here were doing as great swords). Less and less lancers. Another attemp to shot down carrions. Last moments of last lancers. Crew of Great Cannons tried to stop carrions. Mortar crew died from cascet of souls. Knight Panthers – next time I will use them better. Last charge and last killed unit of undeads.
Armies:
Empire and Kislev:
– Empire captain with Sword of Might and Icon of Magnus, full plate armour and barded warhorse
– Kislev boyar with Bitting Blade, Enchanted Shield, heavy armour, lance and warhorse.
– Empire lvl 2 wizard using Fire Magic with Dispel Scroll and Wizard’s Staff.
– 9 Knights Panthers with full command group and War Banner.
– 9 Winged Lancers with full command group.
– 10 Kislev Ungol archers with full command group.
– 5 Kislev Ungol archers with champion and musician.
– 10 Handgunners.
– 10 Great Swords.
– Great Cannon and Mortar.
Tomb Kings:
– Tomb Prince and two liches (don’t remember what they had).
– around 25 Tomb Guards.
– two units of 10 skeleton archers.
– 3 Ushabanti.
– 3 Carrions.
– Casket of Souls and Screaming Skull catapult (yes, we knew that it shouldn’t happen as both are Rare choice).
Summary:
– my first game with other WFB army than Bretonnia, around one hundred models for Empire still wait for painting, then I can start with Lizardmen. As I play with only painted models, I need to paint them.
– did some mistakes, probably I should place all heavy cavalry – right flank, not left.
– now I will remember – champion of Kislev Ungol archers have one more attack, he don’t have higher Ballistic Skill.
– Casket of Souls is dangerous for troops with low morale.
– I losed this battle – it was medium victory for Tomb Kings. Generally treasures of the crypt are still save.
