WFB: Empire and Kislev vs Tomb Kings vol.2 Wtorek, Gru 22 2020 

6th and 7th and Games Workshop and Kislev and Tomb Kings and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 17:30

Today with Kuba we played probably last time in 2020. Main reason is another lockdown which starts from 28th in Poland – I suppose that there will be no place to play until 17th of January. But let’s come back to our game. We played on 1600 points per side, using army books from 6th edition and rules from 7th edition.

  • Empire and Kislev force.
  • Tomb Kings army.
  • Empire and Kislev prepared for battle.
  • Tomb King army.
  • First turn belonged to forces from Old World.
  • First round was march move on left and right flank.
  • First missfire and lose of one crew member.
  • Another missfire for cannon.
  • Tomb Kings failed charge in they first turn. Carrions swiped down on artillery – crew fled.
  • Knights Panther charged, to at least hold undeads for a moment.
  • A hunt for carrions begun.
  • Winged lancers charged Tomb Guards flank, while Ungol horse archers tried to shoot down catapult crew.
  • Aided by flank attack Knights Panther realized that they can win this battle.
  • Finally Tomb Prince felt into the dust.
  • Last turn of Tomb Kings.

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 two Dispel Scrolls (never used, as we assumed, that I cannot dispel incantations with scrolls).
– 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 25-30 Tomb Guards.
– unit of 20 skeleton archers.
– around 25-30 skeletons with spears.
– 4 Carrions.
– Screaming Skull catapult.

Summary:
– my second game with other WFB army than Bretonnia, decided to use heavy cavalry working together.
– did nothing with my artillery, the same with Kuba’s catapult.
– I won minor victory. It was 818 points I got versus 512 points got by Kuba on me.

 

WFB: Empire and Kislev vs Tomb Kings Sobota, Gru 12 2020 

6th and 7th and Classical Warhammer and Empire and Games Workshop and Kislev and Tomb Kings and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 16:33

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.

 

WFB: artillery of Hochland Wtorek, Gru 8 2020 

5th and 6th and 7th and Empire and Games Workshop and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 13:43

Finally I managed to finish some Imperial artillery for Hochland.

 

WFB: Bretonnia vs Tomb Kings Sobota, Gru 5 2020 

6th and 7th and Bretonnia and Games Workshop and Oldhammer and Tomb Kings and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 18:15

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.
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.

 

WFB: Empire and Kislev cavalry Wtorek, List 24 2020 

5th and 6th and 7th and Empire and Games Workshop and Kislev and Ludzkość w świecie Warhammera and Oldhammer and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 16:44

Twenty three years ago (1997′) I read article about WFB in PC games magazine Gambler and around this I started collecting Bretonnians, who was my first and for around fifteen years my only army. I was young and played Warcraft and WFB was interesting for me. Now Bretonnia is still my favourite army, but I wanted to have few other armies – so here are small cavalry contingent of Empire and Kislev cavalry:
– unit of Knights Panther of Inner Circle from Middenheim, lead by grandmaster Heinrich the Pious.
– unit of Kislev Winged Lancers from town Wrotizla.
– two units of Kislev Ungol riders, one composed of Gospodars and another bigger one from friendly Ungol tribe – who are employed as mercenaries.

With addition of two more small unit’s of pistoliers this army will be highly mobile. In addition there will be two infantry units: spearmens and halberdiers with detachments plus cannon and mortar. In 4th edition there will be also unit of Empire Dwarfs.

  • Gospodars light cavalry.
  • Wrotizla Kislev Winged Lancers.
  • Famous Empire Knights Panther.
  • Ungols Horse Archers.

 

Black Powder: 2nd Russian 6 pdr gun Poniedziałek, List 16 2020 

Black Powder - Napoleonic Wars and Russians and Warlord Games tancreddebeauville 17:02

Finally I there is another gun for Russians, still in near future before me are 12 uhlans, 3 officers and two more infantry batallions from Moscow.

W końcu jest kolejne działo dla Rosjan, mimo to w najbliższej przyszłości czeka mnie malowanie 12 ułanów, 3 oficerów i dwa bataliony piechoty z Moskwy.

Everything I painted up to this day. Wszystko co pomalowałem do dnia dzisiejszego.

 

Bolt Action: Polish September 1939 Czwartek, List 12 2020 

Bolt Action and Polska and Semptember 1939 and Warlord Games and Wojsko Polskie tancreddebeauville 13:33

Yesterday night I painted Polish TKS with 20 mm NKM (najcięższy karabin maszynowy – heaviest machine gun). Around 570 tankettes TK-3 and TKS were used by Polish Army in September 1939′ – of whom around 20 were armed with NKM. Polish tank ace Edmund Roman Orlik fought on this vehicle and during one fight near Pociecha village he as leader of platoon managed to destroyed two German Pz.35 and Panzer IV commanded by Wiktor IV Albrecht of Racibor – who father was antinazist and his service was probably just revenge.

Polish tankettes were most numerous vehicles of Polish Army in 1939′. Next to them were 7-TP light tank – 132-134, wz. 34 – around 90, FT-17 – around 50 mobilized, Vickers E – around 32. There were also around 50 R-35 French tanks, but only three were used in combat.

In case of Polish armour, support vehicles, trucks and armoured trains – look on this great page: http://derela.pl/armcarpl.htm

TKS with NKM, 7-TP light tank and heavy armoured car wz.29 Ursus.

 

WFB: Amazon warrior Niedziela, List 1 2020 

6th and 7th and Lizardmen and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 15:17

By accident I started collecting Lizardmen models, the main reason was some models of my brother from Bretonnia-Lizardmen starting box for 5th edition – I doubled the numbers of models, got some cavalry, terradons, stegadon, Slann and decided that instead of Chameleons Skinks I wish to use beautiful women sculpts bought at badsquiddogames.com. And after few years after shopping I painted first one – she will be used as skink hero or priestess. So I have ten more models to be painted and used as Chameleon Skinks.

I used following paints and it took me around hour to finish model:
– base coated with Wraith Bone,
– for flesh used Contrast Guilliman Flesh plus some highlight with Kislev Flesh then,
– green is Contrast Warp Lighting,
– blonde hair is Zamestri desert with shade of Reikland Fleshade, then highlighted with Zamestri desert,
– here tiny costume is Contrast Flesh Tearers Red and then Contrast Iyanden Yellow,
– wooden part of a spear is Contrast Wyldwood, stone part is Administratorum Grey plus shade of Nuln Oil, then highlight with Administratorum Grey,
– for gold items – rings, medalions I used Auric Armour Gold,
– some bones – Ceramite White.
– for base I used texture – Armageddon Dust shaded with Athonian Camoshade.
– Tufts on base are from Army Painter (some grass).

Przez przypadek zacząłem kolekcjonować modele Jaszczuroludzi, głównym powodem było to, że miałem trochę modeli mojego brata z podstawki bretońsko-jaszczuroludzkiej do 5 edycji – podwoiłem ilość modeli, zakupiłem trochę kawalerii, terradony, stegadona, Slanna i zdecydowałem, że zamiast skinków kameleonów użyję te piękne kopiece rzeźby zakupione na badsquiddogames.com. Po kilku latach od zakupu pomalowałem pierwszą dziewczynę – będę jej używałem jako bohatera lub kapłankę z charakterystykami skinka. No to jeszcze 10 dziewczyn które będę używały zasad skinków kameleonów.

Użyłem następujących farb i pomalowanie modelu zajęło mi około godziny:

  • jako podskład Wraith Bone,
  • jako skóra Contrast Guilliman Flesh oraz trochę highlight z Kislev Flesh,
  • zielony to Contrast Warp Lighting,
  • blond włosy jako Zamestri desert z cieniowaniem Reikland Fleshade, później highlighted z Zamestri desert,
  • do stroju użyłem Contrast Flesh Tearers Red i później Contrast Iyanden Yellow,
  • kij od włóczni to Contrast Wyldwood, głownia zaś Administratorum Grey plus cieniowanie Nuln Oil, później highlight z Administratorum Grey,
  • do złotych elementów jak pierścienie, medalion użyłem Auric Armour Gold,
  • trochę kości – Ceramite White,
  • podstawka to Armageddon Dust cieniowany z Athonian Camoshade.
  • kępy trawy na podstawce są z Army Painter (jakiś grass).

 

WFB: When Winged Lancers arrived Czwartek, Paźdź 22 2020 

5th and 6th and 7th and Games Workshop and Kislev and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 20:12

Some years ago I bought on Allegro.pl almost all of my Winged Lancers (with exception to one model I bought around 15 years ago). After some years I started to cleaning those models and assembled them again, horses, bases also were in need of some help then. As I’m good in starting many things at once and not finish them the same was with this unit. Finally I attached a banner today evening. I really love this sculpts – mix of Rus boyars and Polish Winged Hussars.

Kilka lat temu na Allegro kupiłem większość z moich skrzydlatych lansjerów (z wyjątkiem jednego modelu, który kupiłem około 15 lat temu). Po kilku latach zacząłem czyścić te modele i skleiłem je od downa, również konie, podstawków potrzebowały odrobiny pomocy. Tak jak jestem dobry w zaczynaniu kilku rzeczy naraz i nie kończeniu żadnej z nich, tak samo było z tym oddziałem. Dzisiejszego wieczora otrzymali swój sztandar. Uwielbiam te rzeźby – miks rosyjskich bojarów i polskiej husarii.

Some fluff:
Winged Lancers as the rest of my Kislevites are from town Wrotizla in south-east of Kingdom of Kislev. About this town will be something more in the future – most famous persons were boyars Heinrich the Pious and Vladislavus Varnaus – both meet end fighting with Chaos hordes. Current boyar Nicholai is also leading his rota as part of Wrotizla pulk against: Chaos, greenskins and other evil minions. Banner of the town is: red which means: blood of it citizens sacrificed in never ending war against Chaos hordes , blue which means hope – it was added to an original banner when defenceless town was saved by Empire Knights Panther during Great War against Chaos, yellow which means: hard work and is also a colour of Dazh – Kislev god of sun and fire. Eagle was always there, It’s said that forefather of mentioned boyars – Lechislavus followed an eagle and eagle showed him place for a town.

Trochę historii:
Skrzydlaci lansjerzy podobnie jak reszta moich Kislevczyków pochodzi z miasta Wrotizla położonego w południowo wschodniej części Kisleva. O tym mieście napiszę w przyszłości – najbardziej znanymi postaciami byli bojarzy Henryk Pobożny i Władysław Warnau – obaj spotkali swój koniec w walce z hordami Chaosu. Obecny bojar Mikołaja także dowodzi swoją rotą w składzie pułku Wrotizla w wojnie przeciwko Chaosowi, zielonoskórym i pozostałym diabelskim pomiotom. Chorągiew miasta ma następujące barwy: czerwoną co oznacza przelaną krew mieszkańców w niekończącej się wojnie przeci hordą Chaosu, niebieską która oznacza nadzieję – została dodana do oryginalnych barw, kiedy bezbronne miast zostało ocalone przez Imperialnych Rycerzy Zakonu Pantery w trakcie Wielkiej Wojny przeciw Chaosowi, żółty który oznacza: ciężką pracę i jest także barwą Daża – Kislevskiego boga słońca i ognia. Orzeł był zawsze tutaj, podobno poprzednik wymienionych bojarów – Lechisław podążał za orłem i ten wskazał mu siedzibę.

Real ones were the best cavalry of the world and they were fighting our own problems./Oryginalni byli najlepszą kawalerią świata walczyli z naszymi własnymi problemami.

Inspiration of the flag is my beloved Armenia, but before it was my home city of Wrocław with yellow and red, world changed, my mind changed too./Inspiracją dla obecnej flagi jest moja ukochana Armenia, ale wcześniej były to barwy Wrocławi z żółtą i czerwoną, świat się zmienił, moje myśli także.

 

Black Powder: Russian 6 pdr gun Poniedziałek, Paźdź 19 2020 

Black Powder - Napoleonic Wars and Russians and Warlord Games tancreddebeauville 14:23

Yesterday I managed to finish this nice Warlord Games artillery piece. Russian gun in a process of being prepared to fire.

Wczoraj udało mi się skończyć ten fajny model działa firmy Warlord Games. Rosyjska armata jest właśnie przygotowywana do oddania strzału.
