WFB: Hochland pistoliers Wtorek, Mar 2 2021 

5th and 6th and 7th and Empire and Games Workshop and Oldhammer and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 09:42

Yesterday night around 20 o’clock I realized that I need to finish some started soldiers for my Empire and Kislev army. I’m really good in starting new projects and leaving them to start another one, which is not good, as I have many almost finished models on my deck.

This time from thinking about it, I started painting pistoliers and they horses. Most of work I did up to the midnight, with some details today morning before starting work.

Four more Hochland pistoliers join single one I painted in past. Now I have valuable unit of Empire noble sons, ready to fight for they elector Adelbrand Ludenhof, for Emperor Karl Franz from Holswig-Shliestein family, in the name of Sigmar!

  • Pistoliers rides for glory.
  • One black sheep on the left.
  • Next part of Empire to be painted are halbeldiers plus swordsmen detachment.

 

WFB: bloody struggle beetwen Bretonnia and Empire Sobota, Lu 13 2021 

6th and Bretonnia and Empire and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 18:21

Today we played with Marian bigger game on 2250 points per side. Marian played Reikland and I played Bretonnians from border area of Parravon and Quenneles. We are still learning again new things, as we still do mistakes.

  • Initial position of both armies.
  • Empire in first turn did shooting, then Bretonnians started moving.
  • Empire drtachments were everywhere.
  • Look on left flank.
  • Bretonnian turn two. All Grail Knights were wiped out by Empire artillery. Only Duc and damsel survived.
  • I had some luck that I killed Empire battle standard bearer with Banner of Griffon.
  • Then pursued swordsmen.
  • Archers runned away from massive charge of Empire cavalry.
  • Last moments of damsel.
  • Archers left the field, joined by mounted squires.
  • Knights Errants reduced to champion.
  • Bretonnian duc after eliminating wizard lord was held by brave cannon crew. Then pursued by swordsmen.
  • Need to magnetise all Bretonnia, as packing them that way is horrible.

Summary:
– It’s hard to counter magic, when your enemy have three wizards (lvl 4, lvl 2 and lvl 1) and you have one (lvl 2).
– first time from a long time I meet so many shooting, three cannons, two hellblaster volley guns.
– my best unit of Grail Knights was eliminated by enemy fire, even banner increasing ward save didn’t help them.
– Men at arms did nothing, at least the survived along bowmen.
– My army standard bearer – worked well as always, my Duc did not succed well.
– army list, maybe I will add it later here.
– at least we played good game – which finish was a Draw – Marian got 1472 points and I got 1542 points.

 

WFB: Empire and Kislev, High Elves vs evil Beastmen Sobota, Sty 23 2021 

7th and Empire and High Elves and Kislev and The Beastmen and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 17:05

On the Saturday of 23.01.2021 we played pitched battle – four players, four armies – each army value was up to 1500 points. So we played two on two. On the good side was my Empire and Kislev and Piotrek’s High Elves, on the bad side were two armies of Beastmens – lead by Marian and Marcin.

Good armies can have variety of reasons to join they forces against evil side – in this case it could be High Elves looking for they ancient treasures or artefacts left in the Old World, when they had colonies centuries ago. Empire and Kislev force where send to check what they are doing – with no conflict or almost in, they realize that common enemy want also check what is hidden inside old elven ruins.

  • My Empire and Kislev.
  • Piotrek’s High Elves.
  • Marian’s Beastmen horde.
  • Marcin’s Beastmen horde.
  • All forces deployed.
  • View from left flank. The Beastmen started game.
  • Hard, slow move with add of some magic. Turn of good side.
  • Knight’s Panthers hold out against charge of two chariots.
  • Pursuing fleeing chariot.
  • Winged Lancers and Dragon Princes lowering they lances and charging enemy chariot, crashing gors at the end.
  • Right flank wasn’t great sight for Beastmens. Many of them fled seeing horseback warriors behing they backs.
  • Knights Panther with a real support of elven chariot managed to break beastmen gor unit.
  • Long line of Ungol horse archers tried to shoot down minotaurs.
  • In last turn Cygor charged handgunners, spawns held Knights Panthers, but the battle was over.
  • Final look on the field of glory from left flank.

Summary:
– first big battle in 2021, wish more such battles.
– need to read again 7th Rulebook, as we still had some doubts and still have.
– we played on Marian’s board on Marcin’s improvised table with my terrains (photos below).
– first time my mortar did something to someone and not exploded. Cannon was more succesfull than ever.
– my roster was almost the same as in previous games.
– first time I used Lore of Shadows and those spells are really nice (4 and 5 are my favourites) – first Total Power from a long time (three 6’s).

 

WFB: Empire and Kislev vs Night Goblins Czwartek, Sty 14 2021 

6th and 7th and Empire and Games Workshop and Kislev and Orcs&Goblins and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 21:32

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.

 

WFB: Hochland halbaldier Piątek, Sty 1 2021 

5th and 6th and 7th and Classical Warhammer and Empire and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 23:20

First model painted in 2021 is old Empire clone halbaldier from time of 4th edition. Wanted to check which colours should I use for painting whole regiment (around 25-30 models). I painted him in colours of Hochland, green and red. So Karl is ready to defend Empire and is waiting for the rest of his unit.

Anyway wish great 2021, many painted models and played games, health and return of normality!

 

WFB: Empire engineer Poniedziałek, Gru 28 2020 

6th and 7th and Empire and Games Workshop and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 17:08

Bought him along some other Empire troops on Polish internet shop Allegro, few years ago and painted him today. He will join small Empire battery from Bergsburg in Hochland. If I find some bits I will add him a bag or roll of paper. Still no idea how to name this character.

 

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.

  • Ready for…
  • .. some orcs or…
  • … other enemies.
  • Sigmar heirs! Fire!
  • Almost all painted Empire and Kislev magnetized.

 

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.

 

Damsel, elven sorceress and Empire captain Wtorek, Kwi 14 2020 

Bretonnia and Empire and Games Workshop and Stary Świat and Warhammer and Wood Elves and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 18:17

W Święta Wielkanocne udało mi się skończyć posiadane od lat modele, a w jednym przypadku zacząć i skończyć. Troje bohaterów do armii Bretonni, Imperium oraz leśna elfka która skończy jako czarodziejka dla Imperium.

Panna Graala którą posiadałem od bardzo dawna, długo czekała na lepsze czasy. Malowana z przerwami zbyt długo, aż w końcu została skończona.

On Easter I was able to finish my long-standing models, in one case start and finish. Three heroes for armies of Bretonnia, Empire and one woodelven women, which will end as Empire sorceress.

Damsel of Grail which I had for a long time, waited a long time for better times. Painted with breaks too long, to the moment when I finished her.

Czarodziejka leśnych elfów – równie długi staż co u swojej koleżanki, mogłem ją skończyć z rok, albo dwa temu, ale wolałem zacząć coś innego.

Sorceress of Wood Elfs – as long and intership as her Bretonnian friend, I could have finished her a year or two ago, but I preffered to start something new.
