WROHammer: Final of the league 2022/23 Sobota, Maj 13 2023 

6th and 7th and Bretonnia and Dark Elves and Dwarfs and Games Workshop and Ogres and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 19:49

Today we played final of the league started last year – more details HERE. We played in Bolter and we had a lot of fun enjoying our games. From me I want to say big thank you to Krzysztof, for taking seriously idea I throwed on tournament I organised last August, many thanks, you did great job!

Today there were five of us from eleven players involved – many thanks to Rafał – organizer of MISFIRE that he took place of person which cannot be there.

I played first game with Alessandro, my Tilean friend of many games – we had Draw 10:10, then I played my second game first time with Rafał and from start I was thinking to not do mistakes, I losed 15:5 – it was great game anyway, hope we will play again. For my third game I became photographer on my will.

Below is mix of photos of our battles:

Summary:
– the first place belongs to Alessandro, second to Bartek and third to me – we had great fun, to be sure we plans another league, but first we need to take some rest after that.
– thanks to all participants and I hope to see you again, as I find enough ideas and power to organise more smaller WFB events, probably for smaller points as well.
– we turn back to 6/7 edition, at least we have such plan with some limits.
– of course, I want to go to Prague from time to time to see and play with my Czech and German friends there.

 

WFB: Exploration of Albion – a fight for lost comrades Czwartek, Kwi 20 2023 

6th and 7th and Bretonnia and Dark Elves and Dwarfs and Games Workshop and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 21:21

„One more beer for our friendship said Rurik Brassgaze, one more said his new fellow, young knight Louis de Beauville! – camp was full of Bretonnians knights and they servants and Dwarfs they meet during travel in wild area of the Albion. Both parties agreed that they will rejoin they forces, to achieve they mission together, both were tracking Dark Elves who catched they kinsmen in area close to small port Neue Reikdorf in Albion. Both sides had many common in tracking they enemy”.

Today we played smaller game in WFB with army books from 6th and rulebook from 7th edition. It was game played two on two with 600 points per gamer. Together with Alessandro Dwarfs we played on one side, on the other were Dark Elves of Bartek and Krzysiek.

Our deployment, of course Bretonnian Knight prayed to the Lady in hard morning after drinking Bugmans beers.
Right flank and the middle. Yes, there are a lot of commoners – I love those models.
Left flank of Dark Elves. Cold Ones were great in bitting they tails for most of the game as they failed many stupidity tests.
Beast tamer on Manticora hidden behind some ancient tomb.
Bretonnian and Dwarfs first turn.
Turn two started with brave young knights charging a vile owners of repeater crossbows.
Young knights losing ground in fight with crossbowmen.
Dark Elves spearmen charge on Knights of the Realm…
… but were beaten in combat.
Knights of the Realm charged again, when remnants of the Knights Errants rallied.
Archers moved into position and spread volley of arrows onto enemies.
During running after spearmen knights charged into Cold One Knights.
Brave archers stood they ground.
Men at arms marching against they opponents on good side left flank.
Brave archers broken, few of them came back to the camp.
Men at arms get into the combat.
Brave unit sir Henry of Knights Errant issued challenge, heavily wounded was taken back by a horse to the camp.
Dwards hand gunners runned away from Cold One Knights charge, to fight another day.
The end, remnants of Bretonnian and Dwarfs runned back to the camp with Dark Elves pursuing them during night.

Summary:
– good to hear before game, that I’m looking happy – strange, as I’m looking for some interesting job – not remote anymore.
– It was nice game and we will repeat it with maybe more points, next time we want to just give a try to old Mordheim.
– we are open to play smaller points, I’m still thinking about some form of campaing, where everyone have a castle and three random places like a town, village, mine, shrine, forest etc. so troops can be a little bit different – still no idea how to organize it.
– next WROHammer will be probably something different to previous one, but anyway, we have to talk about it, in small team.

„Do you smell they fear? Yes, it’s delicious – we have more captives, but we should go for more – release Cold One Knights, they smell them! Yes, let’s start hunting for hummies and davies, run! Catch them all!”.

 

WFB 7th: Bretonnians&Dwarfs vs Chaos&Skaven Poniedziałek, Gru 27 2021 

7th and Bretonnia and Chaos Warriors and Dwarfs and Games Workshop and Skavens and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 20:48

Today we played in Bolter.p, Wrocław, PL, 2 on 2 game – building armies around Border Patrol composition from 6th edition. Each army had 500 points – it was 2000 in total on the table. We had ambitious plan to play scenario – but it will wait for better day.

First turn belonged to Chaos Warriors and Skaven – they moved forward.
Then Bretonnians and Dwarfs started they turn. Four Dwarf crossbowmen were losed during first turn from Skaven shooting. Then domwheel came on 2nd turn so close.
Both knights unit managed to charge and broke doomwheel.
Archers and light cavalrty on our right flank performed well.
Knights of the Realm charged Skaven, which spread panic among Chaos Warriors…
…which runned toward Bretonnian knights.
Knights Errants came back after chasing Doomwheel off the board.
Warpfire flamer took down two young knights. Seeing they friends dying from devil device knights charged – warpfire thrower exploed when they tried to shoot knights.
Dwarfs advanced to help they allies. Trolls with stupid faces advanced toward bolt thrower.
Eager to show they value Knight Errants charged on the flank.
Together they repelled Chaos Warriors.
Lone mounted squire fled to save his live.

Summary:
– great, fast game.
– next time we should play two on two with more points, as some armies works better on more points.
– thank you guys for good time!

 

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.
  • No Dwarf meat today.

  • My greenskins battle line. In front of me Ogres.
  • I played first turn.

  • 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.

  • 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: Bretonnians vs Dwarfs Sobota, Maj 22 2021 

7th and Bretonnia and Dwarfs and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 17:54

Today I played with Alessandro our first game in WFB 7th edition. It was interesting games with some rules used to make game playable for weaker armies like Beastmens.

  • My Bretonnians.
  • Alessandro Dwarfs.
  • Bretonnian praying before the battle.
  • Dwarfs ready to first aim.
  • Tragedy started at the beginning. Dwarfs probably drunk too much day before and one of they guns exploded (gun with re-rolls).
  • Bretonnian advanced.
  • Anvil of doom is dangerous, it was my first game against it and soon I losed Pegasus Knights from troll slayers.
  • Coming closer, with Gyrocopter sending my archers off the table.
  • Coming closer, hand to hand combat with gyrocopter.
  • Stubborn cannon held knights for a while – never take cannon first.
  • Knights Errants after pursuing gyrocopter tried to came back and help they Duc.
  • Heavy combat beetwen Bretonnian Grail Knights and Dwarfs.
  • Doom of KoTR unit came from the hill.
  • Paladin on pegasus fighting with crossbowmen.
  • Duc Tancred and battle standard fougt bravely, but were defeated.
  • Brave Errant Knights were panicked by organ guns, but happilly rallied.
  • The end. Bretonnian Duc rallied, army standard left field.

Summary:
– victory belongs to Alessandro – I losed 1526 points of army and killed 604 points, I guess Dwarfs wone over me by massacre.
– interesting play, wants to play again, first tabletop game in English I played (before I played board games in English).
– first time meet Long Drong Slayer pirates who were playing as Troll Slayers. Now I think, that we should agree for use of mercenacy regiments and allies, as they can give more live to the Old World.
– 2000 points formad need to be tested more with those rules, I got those rules from Davide on FB and translated to English from Italian. Maybe we will add something more and play them – test them.

WFB: classical 4/5th edition Dwarfs (PL/EN) Czwartek, Lip 9 2020 

5th and Dwarfs and Stary Świat and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 17:21

Pierwszy rzut 4 edycyjnych krasnoludzkich wojowników (na pudełku zwą się po prostu Dwarfs).  Do pomalowania jeszcze przynajmniej 15 modeli, w tym grupa dowodzenia – niestety zmywanie farby z kupionych na Allegro modeli łatwo nie idzie (za to spłukanie wszystkich moich, kupionych 20 lat temu poszło łatwo i przyjemnie). Oddział będzie częścią sił Imperium z wolnego miasta Middenheim w 4/5 edycji, tudzież będzie to sojuszniczy kontyngent w edycjach 6/7. Około 20 lat temu inspirowany bohaterem „Władcy Pierścieni” Mistrza Tolkiena – Gimlim zakupiłem kilkunastu krasnoludów i działo, armii nie rozwinąłem nigdy.

First wave of 4th edition Dwarf warriors (on box they are named just Dwarfs). Still to paint there are at least 15 models, including command group – unhappilly washing paints from models bought on Allegro is not going well (and washing all models I bought 20 years ago was easily and nicely). This unit will be part of Empire from city state Middenheim in 4/5th edition, in 6/7th edition it will be part of Dwarf allied contingent. Around 20 years ago inspired by Gimli hero from Master Tolkien „Lord of the Rings” I bought over a dozen of Dwarfs and cannon, I never developed an army.

Krasnoludy w jednej linii, może przy kolejnych zrobię konwersję (aż prosi się o inne bronie czy kufel piwa). Dwarfs in one line, maybe with another wave I will do some conversions (I think about some different weapons or a mug in hand).
