On 14.01.2021 we played with Marian (from https://maniexite.blogspot.com/) small game – 1000 points per side, we played in 7th edition, still I used army book for 6th edition Empire. Both sides had everything painted, so it’s a kind of game I like. It happend somewhere in Kislev, on the border with World Edge Mountains.

Empire troops were composed of:
7 Knights Panther with full command group, lead by a captain (equiped as knights) with Banner of Valour
7 Kislev Winged Lancers with full command group, lead by a boyar (equiped as lancer) with Enchanted Shield
10 handgunners with marksman
2 x 5 Ungol Horse archers
Great Cannon

Night Goblins were composed of:
49 Night Goblins with full command group, three fanatics, lead by a hero with Mad Cap Mushrooms
30 Night Goblins with full command group, three fanatcis
10 Squig Hoppers
15 Squigs in a herd, pushed by 9 night goblins
3 Stone Trolls

  • Empire and Kislev allies.
  • Horde of Night Goblins supported by mighty stone trolls.
  • Both sides prepared to battle, first turn belonged to greenskins.
  • Drawing of fanatics is always dangerous job. Ungols horse archers were hit by two and ceased to exist.
  • Other Ungol horse raiders survived meeting with night goblin fanatics.
  • Survivors passed panic test.
  • Fanatics everywhere.
  • I guess that with cannon for last two battles I had bad luck. Missfire is common roll on artillery dice.
  • Night Goblins are coming!
  • Winged Lancers took initiative, without ranks, but led by brave boyar they charged Night Goblin unit. On the other flank Knight Panther didn’t passed fear and wasn’t able to charge trolls.
  • Knight Panther after compulsory charge of Squig raiders.
  • Regroup said leader of Hochland handgunners.
  • Knight Panthers turned they tails and fled.
  • Some brave Ungols runned near greenskin horde.
  • Many turns of stubborn tests on Kislev Winged Lancers.
  • Artillery piece was overruned.
  • Situation is hot as hell.
  • Finally Winged Lancers managed to broke night goblins and spread panic to squig herd next to them.
  • Hand gunners shot down one stone troll.
  • Handgunners fled from the field of battle.
  • Last turn of Empire.

Summary:
– great game with minor victory for Marian’s Night Goblins – it was 1031 for Marian vs 795 for me (we counted standards, generals, half of units and quarters).
– I really need to replace in such small games one heavy cavalry unit with infantry with detachment.
– there weren’t any magic spells in games and not many magic items at all.
