WFB 7th: dark Sunday for Bretonnians Niedziela, List 28 2021 

7th and Bretonnia and Games Workshop and Orcs&Goblins and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 21:05

Today we played with Alessandro battle on 2250 points per side. At least it was some lesson taken by me. This was first battle when I took trebuchet and it was shooting better than my Empire artillery – it was miracle, that guessing and scatter dices were working well both with many hits.

  • I have to paint this trebuchet.
  • Orcs moved, so moved to welcome them too.
  • On 2nd turn of greenskins I lost paladin – I thought he is save behind obstacle – he wasn’t, as goblins had Waagh and moved more.
  • Men at arms fled as well as archers.
  • Many screens and three 2nd level wizards worked well on me.
  • Mistress of Marsh – total power with three sixes.
  • Stayin on flank and waiting for they moment.
  • One more screen in front of KoTR.
  • One screen less and then…
  • … brave pegasus knight unit was destroyed and KoTR panicked, never been seen on this field again.
  • Knowing that orc boar boyz with black orc big boss is a source of problems Grail Knights regrouped.
  • Four Grail Knights were taken by bolt thrower.
  • Remaining Grail Knights charged to move away.
  • Were charged on flank, but held for some time.
  • Orcs charged on flank – I had hope, that Ranald will be with them – they loose by one point and fled, pursude by goblins.
  • Duc fled the field to prepare his army better to next battle.

Summary:
– need to update this list with more archers, probably one small unit of knights, take one more wizard instead of paladin (I thought about taking even 3 2nd lvl wizards) – I will reduce units of men at arms to one unit.
– it was good game, at least I know that I need to change army composition a little bit.

 

WFB 7th: Bretonnians vs Skavens Sobota, List 13 2021 

7th and Bretonnia and Games Workshop and Skavens and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 19:09

Today we played with Marian on 1500 points per side. I could forget about that race exists – yeap, they are no legend those rat beastmens.

  • Both armies prepared to battle.
  • Among them was something I with had always problems.
  • Abomination ran forward – really high score on 3d6’s.
  • Grail Knight charged abomination…
  • and killed it. Attack of warhorse was deciding – last wound was taken by brave Bretonnian stallion.
  • Don’t like to enter combat with half unit of Knights of the Realm.
  • Grail Knights covering flank of friendly unit.
  • Archers advance, pegasus knights charged jezzail team.
  • Grail Knights took charge of Skaven elite Stormvermin unit and defeated them, regrouped and charged other unit to protect KoTR unit…
  • at the end KoTR unit was broken in hand to hand combat and fled – did not rally before end of game.

Summary:
– at least now I know one more thing – thank you Marian.
– battle was if we counted it well minor victory for Skavens.

 

WFB 7th: Bretonnians vs Orcs&Goblins Piątek, List 12 2021 

7th and Bretonnia and Games Workshop and Orcs&Goblins and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 19:24

Today with Alessandro we played in Bolter battle for 1500 points per side – I took my first army I ever started on 1997′ and my „enemy” took also old Orc&Goblin army. Compositions of armies were:

Bretonnians:
– 8 Knights of the Realm with Banner of Chalons (full command group) lead by paladin baron Roger (Morning Star of Fracasse and Virtue of Noble Disdain),
– 16 archers (full command group),
– 5 mounted squires,
– 3 pegasus knights (musician),
– 7 Grail Knights with Banner of Defence (full command group) lead by paladin duc Tancred (Grail Vow, Lance of Artois, Virtue of Confidence), Melisanda damsel of the Lady lvl 2 (2x Dispel Scroll),
– battle standard bearer Louis (Grail Vow, Sword of Might, Gromril Great Helm).

Orcs&Goblins:
– 2 units of 29x Night Goblins (including night goblin fanatic – each 3 of them),
– 3 units of 5x goblin wolf riders,
– 5 Savage Orc Boar Boys,
– 9 Orc Boar Boys Big Uns with magic banner (full command group) lead by unknown black orc big boss (with magic weapon and enchanted item),
– Orc Chariot.
– 2 goblin shamans – both had two scrolls and one had arcane item (one of them was on wolf).

  • As Bretonnians prayed, first turn belonged to greenskins.
  • First turn and one Grail Knight less.
  • Night Goblins in front of main units.
  • Battle standard was struck with magic – D6 – 2 hits with S 6 – I had save on 5, re-roll on 5 and ward on 5 – what can go wrong 😀 ?
  • Archers managed to took some goblin wolf riders and spread panic among them.
  • Mounted squires fled from savage orcs charge.
  • Archers fled after Night Goblin charge…
  • …to rally soon after.
  • Pegasus knights managed to charge Savage Orcs flank…
  • and then pursue them.
  • Orc Boar Boys clashed with Knights of the Realm and broke them in combat… they were destroyed by Night Goblin Fanatic, which was on they retreat way.
  • Pegasus Knights managed to pursue chariot, while remntants of Grail Knights charged.
  • Goblin wolf riders charged archers…
  • … but archers managed to held down (that morale test on two 1’s).
  • Brave charge of fast cavalry – no one suffered wounds.
  • Archers pursued enemy (and were hit by fanatic who killed they shaman moment before).
  • In this moment battle should end as I did one big mistake (it was 6th turn of Greenskins).

Summary:
– we had score of 1110 for me and 1125 for Alessandro – but it could be more by (I guess that Grail Knights wouldn’t held orc boar boys) 654. So it was good victory for Greenskins – generally still it was great game for me (bloodbath).
– Immune to Psychology – unit will not flee from enemy charge (first time fled – shame on me, now I have to build Grail Chapel for the such shame thing I did, we both forgot about this rule).
– at least one more lesson taken by mistake.

 

WFB 7th: A dispute beetwen Bretonnians and Dwarfs Sobota, List 6 2021 

7th and Bretonnia and Dwarfs and Games Workshop and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 19:44

This Saturday we played with Alessandro with 1500 points limit – this time I took Bretonnians and Alessandro took Dwarfs. Bolter provide us with place for our game – thank you Piotrek for fast response! In the same time was Middle Earth tournament – I hope to play on it someday.

  • Alessandro managed to deploy first – but I prayed to the Lady, so first turn belonged to Dwarfs.
  • Bretonnian centre composed of Knighs of the Realm (paladin and battle standard bearer), archers and Grail Knights (paladin, damsel 2 level).
  • Left flank.
  • 1st turn of Dwarfs. One of the pegasus knights was wounded.
  • Then my 1st turn – all army moved forward.
  • Archers moved 4″ and shoot at flame cannon – eliminating two crewmen.
  • On 2nd turn I tried to charge – only pegasus knights manage to do this. Then Slayers moved in centre. 2nd turn of Dwarfs. Mounted Yeoman said some bad words about slayer mother to distrubt him.
  • On 3rd turn slayers charged on flank – hapilly before archers took two of them and they had one combat result less.
  • Grail Knights charged on Bretonnian turn 3rd.
  • Dwarf turn 4th was shooting, moving and melee.
  • Flame cannon wounded two archers and the rest of them fled. It was turn 4th of Dwarfs.
  • Bolt Throwers tried to kill Grail Knights, but power of the Lady was too strong.
  • Dwarfs 5th round
  • Regroup of Grail Knights.
  • O turn 5th Grail Knights took one bolt thrower and charged another one.
  • Lone slayer waiting on the hill. Last of the pegasus knights was catched by Dwarf crossbowmen.
  • I guess that slayer hero charged me on 6th and took down one of the holy knights.
  • During challenge Bretonnian paladin Tancred de Beauville managed to wound slayer once…
  • and his warhorse finished him (6 followed by 6).

Summary:
– first time after some months I took Bretonnia, first time took Lance of Artois and one more Virtue.
– it was a Draw as Alessandro destroyed 619 points from my army and I destroyed 633,5.
– it was great evening game – usually I don’t play on 15, but this time I realized: Why not?

Aww, last time realized who is a singer of songs I knew for years. Great songs Billy Joel.

 

WFB 7th: Dwarfs vs Empire and Kislev Sobota, Paźdź 9 2021 

7th and Dwarfs and Empire and Games Workshop and Kislev and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 20:59

Today in sunny Wrocław (PL), we played friendly Polish Italian match in Warhammer Fantasy Battle 7th edition. First time I tried Steam Tank and need to learn how to use it.

I guess, that next time we should order some pizza to Bolter where we played (if we can of course).

  • Only wizard on the table – spells from lore of Beast.
  • Empire and Kislev battle line.
  • Both sides.
  • Dawi artillery hat Steam Tank and unhapilly damaged it.
  • Remnants of Knights Panthers fought well.
  • Steam Tank destroyed by Dawi cannons.
  • Artillery duel won at last by Dawi cannon of Alessandro. Before I hat his cannon twice and for first time roll 1 for wound, then, rolled one for how many wounds. Still, I had great rolls on armour saves.
  • Better and better in guesing ranges.

Summary:
– as many times before, it was great game with Alessandro, today I was massacred – but this is part of our hobby, still it depends on with whom you play.
– it was great to see Rafał, Generał and Krzysiek, still need to plan better our still small events (need to learn from Kris about multiple games).
– first time with Steam Tank – need to learn how to use it, maybe from General or Wuja.
– we agreed to play next Saturday, so everything before us>
– we spend some time of talking about rules – probably playing with 6th editions army books on 7th edition rulebook is better – still there are more models in 7th edition – we need to do a party like in Bilbo house and talk, play and talk.
– wish everyone great Sunday!

 

WFB 7th: Averland, Dwarfs, Greenskins and Ogres Sobota, Wrz 18 2021 

7th and Dwarfs and Empire and Games Workshop and Ogres and Orcs&Goblins and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 19:27

Today we meet to play event in Warhammer Fantasy Battle 7th edition. Our games were for 800 points. Today four of us came: me with Orcs & Goblins (my first game ever with them), Alessandro with his Dwarfs, Kris with his Ogre Kingdoms and Maciej with his Empire. We played in Bolter – today was also a tournament in Lord of the Rings and after talk with Piotrek I think, about playing in it.

  • On left Kris Ogres, on right Alessandro Dwarfs.
  • Cavalry on rhinos – they were in White Dwarf – cool unit.
  • Ogres runned on the Dwarfs battle line.
  • Panic among Ogres with guns.
  • On the other flank one big combat which was losed by Ogres.

  • Heavily wounded ogre general woke up and runned away (heroes do not die, right?).
  • My greenskins battle line. In front of me Ogres.
  • I played first turn.
  • That cool ball – said shaman after feeding some Night Goblins with mushrooms.
  • One was hit by a ball, another one scored a hit on his comrade. It was 2nd turn.
  • Up the hill.
  • Night Goblins with magic help charged Ogre shooters…
  • and broke them in combat.
  • On the other side Black Orcs were broken by massive charge of Ogres and Ogre cavalry on rhinoxes.
  • Heavily outnumbered by fearful enemy…
  • … black orcs runned for lives.
  • Grasha (Goblin charioteer) – let’s speed up wolfes, it will be fun.
  • Unhapilly it was last words of Grasha.
  • Now freed wolfes runned away.
  • Grisha, Grasha charged and it was fun, we want too.
  • Grisha chariot passed morale and charged.
  • Unhapilly to Grisha, rhinos do not feel that was charged.
  • Orcs slowly moved out of battle.

  • Black orcs fought valiantly.
  • Orcs prepare to shoot volley of arrows.

  • … but soon were routed.
  • Orc arrer boys charged on swordmen flank and won by one point. Swordsmen fled and were routed.
  • Not great position for orcs.
  • Orcs charged by ogre mercenaries (Rare choice from Dogs of War)..
  • Orcs fled the field.
  • Classical skulpts are great, especially when they are painted.
  • Grisha and Grasha chariots coming back, after destroying artillery and archers.
  • Coming closer.
  • Few bullets and chariot was losed.
  • Second chariot charged ogres, but enemy won combat and due fear and outnumber it fled and crashed on piece of terrain. Only fanatics stayed running. Both sides suffered a heavy loses.
  • First game of Empire and Dwarfs – I took here only few photos.

Summary:
– we did small event in WFB 7th edition, hope to see more ppl next time – today were almost five of us.
– thanks to Bolter.pl for place to play.
– today I decided to start someting new, still need to stop playing Cyberpunk 2077 first and start waking up early to have more time for painting.
– in few days I want to write some kind of article about current offer of Games Workshop – there are still many sets which can be used in Warhammer Fantasy Battle.
– everyone wish good weekend!

 

WFB 7th: Battle near the „Lonely Rock” Sobota, Wrz 11 2021 

7th and Bretonnia and Dwarfs and Games Workshop and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 18:46

Today we played a game on 1.000 points in WFB 7th edition. My Bretonnians vs Alessandro Dwarfs. We find a table in Bolter.pl. Alessandro was faster, so he placed scenery.

  • Most of Bretonnians stand in the left and middle.
  • They were painted around twenty years ago – I know, that I will repaint them as I really like those models.
  • Dwarfs covering all the field with they crossbows and bolt thrower.
  • Crossbowmen wreck panic among squires.
  • Gyrocopoter flow to hid behind rock.
  • First knights fell from bolt thrower. Men at arms suffered from gyrocopter and crossbowmen fire.
  • Knights managed to destroy bolt thrower crew and regrouped.
  • Archers managed to score two wounds on gyrocopter.
  • This time knights charged, but were soon…
  • …overrunned and destroyed. This day belongs to the Dwarfs.

Summary:
– it was good game as always.
– with Alessandro we had discussion and next battle will be on more points, but we still reserve less points for players who are painting and newcomers.
– we talked about detail for events – special characters. Now I have mindfuck.
– I’m closer and closer to find time and wrote about current Games Workshop products which can be still used in WFB.

Now I would like to teleport to Svetlana, to Moscow.

 

WFB 7th: Bretonnians vs Dwarfs Sobota, Wrz 4 2021 

7th and Bretonnia and Dwarfs and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 19:16

Today we played in Bolter with Alessandro two games in WFB 7th edition for one thousand points per side. I played Bretonnians and Alessandro played Dwarfs. We spend around two and half hour for those games, knowing rules helps make game faster – plus we had two different armies – one which was moving more and another which was shooting more.

  • Bretonnians march to war – but at least knights were without power today. After looking on them, I know that maybe some shadows should be added – still I painted them more than 20 years ago.
  • Bretonnians with men at arms and archers on right flank.
  • Dwarfs waiting for Bretonnians.
  • Maybe in the future I will raise up two more units of men at arms.
  • Bretonnians first turn was used for moving.
  • Second turn was also moving, when dwarfs were shooting. Organ guns got Misfire and exploded.
  • My bowmens were effective in 5th edition, then I don’t remember any spectacular actions with them. Today they proved, that in such games they are great infantry.
  • Dwarf crossbowmen panicked from Bretonnian shooting – really bad luck – as Dwarf morale is great one.
  • Miners arrived and I declared charge.
  • And now luck was on Dwarfs side – I managed to wound Runesmith in challenge, but hasn’t done any casultaties.
  • KoTR fleeing from combat.
  • After that turn Knight of the Realm rallied, but the game was over – I guess it was something near Draw with more points for Bretonnians.
  • Our second game. Bretonnian right flank.
  • Stronger left flank.
  • March, march and march.
  • Archers ready to shoot a volley of arrows.
  • KoTR charged Dwarfs as they had too – due one rune. Second time KoTR unit fled from combat and was overruned.
  • Dwarf crossbowmen running toward Bretonnian archers.
  • Men at arms charged Dwarfs along they noble master.
  • Finally Dwarfs charged Bretonnian archers.
  • Men at arms fought bravely, as no one expected.
  • Archers due huge number won over Dwarf crossbowmen.
  • Men at arms won in hand to hand combat with miners and pursued them. The last thing I did was charging organ gun with army standard bearer and wiping them all.

Summary:
– it was great to play with Alessandro again and our game was in some way demo for Marco.
– today the best units were commoners and the worst were knights – with exception to my army standard bearer.
– anyway format of 500 points work best for Border Patrol, 1000 points worked well with no limits – we will increase point number, but still we will play on smaller numbers.
– explosion of a gun or organ gun hurts in such games, as player is limited with those machines.
– I used magic – it was a Lore of Beasts. For all time I played with Lore of Life, but now it’s time to combine some other tactics.
– first time I used Icon of Quenneles and I like this item.
– it’s always great to talk about hobby which happened today with Alessandro, Kris, Piotrek and first time talk in real with Maciek.

 

WFB: Abandoned wizard tower Sobota, Sier 28 2021 

7th and Empire and Games Workshop and Ogres and Orcs&Goblins and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 16:45

Today we played typical Border Patrol (GW rules) with Alessandro and Krzysztof on 500 points. First game was played beetwen Alessandro Night Goblins vs Krzystof Ogres, second game was played beetwen my Empire and Krzysztof Ogres. I tried to make some scenario, so we agreed that the tower belonged to wizard who perished long time ago. Of course both sides want’s the tower – units 6′ from tower were Immune to Panic.

  • Ogres saw many walking meat.
  • Krzysiek ogres are still work in progress, they look better and better.
  • Night goblins moved up to the obstacle.
  • Ogres moved.
  • Suprise, night goblin fanatics released!
  • Health path in front of Ogres.
  • Ogres charged…
  • and night goblins fled to the forest.
  • One step back from those green madness.
  • Night goblins rallied.
  • But again were charged by Ogres.
  • Sounds like a dinner.
  • One of those funniest unit in WFB, along squigg hoppers and snotling pump wagon. Of course it’s also deadly, especially when hitting armoured knights.
  • Gnoblars in the forest and ogres around tower.
  • Failed charge of ogre gunner.
  • Night Goblin took forest from gnoblar hands. Last gnoblars hiden beetwen night goblins.
  • Second battle. Those Dwarfs were used as Empire Swordsmen.
  • Ogres battle line.
  • I saw ogre, do I?
  • Next time I will take dwarfs as allies, not as proxy for swordsmen.
  • Swordsmen fled as charge reaction.
  • Ogres triumph.
  • Hochland pistoliers managed to take down one of the shooters (he was on last wound, as they wounded themselfs moment before).
  • Gnoblars charged Knights Panther on the flank and won by one point.
  • Handgunners welcomed ogres with rain of bullets, but fled in panic after round of combat.
  • Swordsmen managed to won over one ogre shooter.
  • Knights Panthers rallied and charged back.
  • Ogres looking for loot and food.
  • Last charge – ogres on Knights Panthers.
  • The end. I guess it was draw – magic tower still wait’s for someone who will open it.

Summary:
– games on small points can be really nice and fast as well.
– next time we will play on something more, like one thousand points. Maybe I will write some scenario, still it depends of how many of us will be interested.

 

WFB: Border Patrol on 7th edition Sobota, Sier 21 2021 

7th and Bretonnia and Ogres and Orcs&Goblins and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 18:28

Today with Alessandro and Krzysiek we played Border Patrol on 7th edition of WFB. Alessandro played with band of Orcs & Goblins, Krzysiek with always hungry Ogres and I played noble Bretonnians with many common folk. In something up to three hours we played four games. Today games we played in Planszóweczka in Astra. We played with objective – it was taking church or defend it, but during games no one cared.

  • First game played beetwen Alessandro and Krzysiek.
  • Chariot managed to kill one ogr with „da shotta”.
  • Ogres march forward, with gnoblars going next to them.
  • Waagh – orc’s moved forward and charged ogres. Behing goblin fanatic started his dance with ball in his hand.
  • After hand to hand ogres retreat, but rallied.
  • One more face to face combat.
  • Ogre standar fled the field with emtpy stomach.
  • Last of gnoblars…
  • … and ogres left the field.
  • Second game was played beetwen me and Alessandro.
  • My first round was move forward.
  • Squires – who want’s to be promoted to a knight? Dirty job before you, those goblins are special ones!
  • Archers managed to score successful wound on Night Goblin fanatic.
  • Orc’s successfully charged Knights of the Realm, but knights hold on.
  • Men at arms joined noble lords in combat. The battle was won by Bretonnians.
  • Third game, me against Krzysiek.
  • Just move.
  • Then charge and the game was over, as main unit was catched and the other paniced. So…
  • we played fourth game with Krzysiek. Bretonnian archers after several loses left the field.
  • Squires moved around the flank.
  • Knights lowering they lances…
  • fled from ogre charges as they were overcome by fear.
  • Squires managed to eliminate five gnoblars.
  • Hurry up.
  • Pursuers galloped into…
  • Ogres.
  • Last try, knights charged ogres,
  • But did not broke them in combat.
  • More ogres arrived…
  • and last Bretonnians left the field.

Summary:
– I have cursed rolls for knights armour saves, especially for my enemies.
– we will organize it again, maybe in form of small campaign. Need to look on campaigns from 5th edition, maybe we should draw a map – not sure, never played other campaing than those from „Herohammer” era.
– 500 points is great amount to start playing WFB.
– we used revised rules for Border Patrol done by our friends Remo and Profi. Those rules are in Polish.
– thank you Alessandro and Krzysiek for great games.
