WFB: Long live to The Tzar (🇬🇧EN/🇵🇱PL) Środa, Czer 4 2025 

6th and Games Workshop and Kislev and Oldhammer and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 21:49

🇬🇧 Boris Ursus, the Red Tsar or Radii Bokha — whom I started painting a few years ago, and as is often the case with me, I ended up painting full armies ready for play in the meantime, while the unfinished Tsar waited and gathered dust. Meanwhile, I managed to complete a campaign in Total War: Warhammer 3 as Kislev — with a happy ending for this fascinating nation located in the Old World. And he kept patiently waiting to be finished — and now he finally is. Let’s hope he also gets to play his first game in 6th or 7th edition WFB.

🇵🇱 Borys Ursus, Czerwony Car lub Radii Bokha – którego zacząłem malować parę lat temu i jak to u mnie bywa w tym czasie pomalowałem armie nadające się do grania, a zaczęty car czekał i się kurzył. W międzyczasie udało mi się przejść kampanię do Total War: Warhammer 3 Kislevem – ze szczęśliwym zakończeniem dla tego interesującego państwa położonego w Starym Świecie. A on nadal cierpliwie czekał na dokończenie i się doczekał – oby doczekał się również swojej pierwszej gry w 6/7 edycję WFB.

Summary:
– the rules for tzar are avaible THERE.
– maybe it’s a time to play again in WFB?
– or to gather a team and come back to Old World?

Podsumowanie:
– zasady cara są dostępne TUTAJ.
– może to czas by zagrać w WFB?
– lub zebrać drużynę i wrócić do Starego Świata?

The best gratitude, if you don’t like End of Times. Najlepsza nagroda, jeśli nie lubisz Końca Czasów.

 

WFB: Neigbours disputes over Marienburg Środa, Lu 22 2023 

7th and Bolter.pl and Bretonnia and Empire and Games Workshop and Kislev and Oldhammer and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 22:58

Last days I had too much free time, sometimes things happen unusual way. Still there are positives – I can play more games including WFB – today 7th edition. With Bartłomiej we played game on 1250 points per side, I played my Empire and Kislev, my opponent played first time his Bretonnia.

Both sides after turn one.
Tried to hit, but cannon ball started bouncing to far.
Pistoliers tried to shoot down some Knights of the Realm.
Kislev Ungol riders tried to disturb some other Knights of the Realm.
It was too much for Knights Panther to hold ground, losed three of them and was broken in combat and fled.
It could be good charge, but I did almost nothing and archers scored three pistoliers, winned combat and cought them.
Situation out of control, as cannon crew fled because of broken unit.
Panic after losing two winged lancers, but they…
… managed to rally.
Before unit was destroyed – handgunners managed to eliminate whole unit of Grail Knights.
The end.

Summary:
– it was great game and it’s nice to see that younger generations are intrested in file and rank system, especially WFB.
– need to paint some meele infantry and more missile armed handgunners and crossbowmens, maybe hellblaster, as again I saw that I have too much cavalry which should fight with enemy weakend by my own fire.

 

WFB 7th: Inter arma silent Musae… Czwartek, Lu 24 2022 

7th and Empire and Games Workshop and Kislev and Skavens and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 22:58

Today, in that sad day from the morning we played a very friendly game on 1526 points with Sambor Skavens – it was a test of some interesting works of Skaven engineers. I took Empire (belowed Middenheim – City of the White Wolf and Bergsburg – city of goddess of mercy Shallya) and Kislev (stanitsa – Wrotizla), as I have them magnetized and was able to put box with them easily to the bag.

We played on 1526 points as our friends living in Prague organize event with such points limit.

Some of deployed troops.
They come ot us – „quick, quick” – heard from the opposite site.
Winged Lancers of Wrotizla.
I’m not proud of that white unit.. Empire mortar.
I think I painted them when lovely Armenia was attacked.
A trap for brave Gospodars and Ungols.
Brave Knights Panther from Middenheim and Bergsburg pistoliers charged.
Stubborn do not help on fear and outnumber.
Fire, reload, fire, reload – Hochland handgunners and great cannon repelled clanrats.,
Hat by shit, Empire knights flee.
Kislev cavalry changing position.
Unpainted fight worse, joke – I losed this unit in one turn of combat.
Led by young captain Heinrich Knights Panther left the field of battle in shit..
Hans, give me one more pound of gunpowder (they killed Skaven general on strange engine).
Kislevites escaped.
That boyar… Empire cannon hit him by accident, no politics.

Summary of our struggle:
– thank you Sambor for great game again,
– thanks for Bolter for place we play,
– still learning this army.

Summary of 24.02.2022:
– I just wish peace beetwen Russia and Ukraine, as most of ordinary people wants to live in it, I wish international friendships which are priceless as any other. We managed to find great people in Prague, but as Pole living in Wrocław, PL I wish to have friends everywhere – Germans, Russians, Ukrainians, French, British, Americans etc. – hobby is shortest way to find interesting people. You meet person, you have a chance to knew different cultere, traditions, cuisine etc.
– to be sure I’m right side and I can say, that I enjoy meeting people of different nations – in my life I found friends in other nations, especially Russians, Moldovians but also Spanish, Dutch, Belgians, Denmark, Germans, Bialorussians, Ukrainians. Found Czechs and British (or Archibald found me). We are all the same as a people.

As I love Russians, I also meet many great Ukrainians – I wish peace for both nations. Life is too short, to be victim of war.

 

WFB 7th: Bretonnia on Empire and Kislev Niedziela, Sty 23 2022 

7th and Bretonnia and Empire and Games Workshop and Kislev and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 14:02

Yesterday we played with Jędrzej our first WFB ever – for me it was a pleasure – first time I played with Empire and Kislev against Bretonnians (I play Bretonnians since 1997’/1998′). We played on 2250 points in Bolter.pl, Wrocław, PL.

Jędrzej Bretonnians.
My Empire and Kislev.
Empire and Kislev in line.
Trebuchet, Grail Knights and Pegasus Knights on Bretonnian left flank.
Bretonnian right flank.
Empire right flank.
Empire Knights Panthers in the centre.
I did mistake and came into line of sight of Pegasus Knights – before I took one trebuchet crew.
Fly, fly!
Steam Tank advanced to take Grail Knights…
Lancers turned to face pegasus knights.
Knights Errant charged Empire Knights with they grandmaster Heinrich the Pious.
Grail Knights during charge did 8 wounds to Steam Tank.
Such amazing disaster.
Brave artillery crew held mounted squires.
Empire archers managed to kill pegasus knight.
Flank attack finally routed Knights Pannthers.
Knights Errants charged Steam Tank…
… and eliminated it from battle.
I’be back.

Summary:
– Bretonnian won this game, I believed that Steam Tank can do something, but after losing eight wounds during one combat it could just stay.
– Jędrzej played last time 8-10 years ago, but he still remember rules well.
– It was a pleasure to play that game.
– It’s great that playing other systems we still find ppl who played WFB and they return to game. We also find ppl who never played WFB and they start playing in it.

 

WFB 7th: The Empire & Kislev vs Vampire Counts Piątek, Sty 21 2022 

7th and Empire and Games Workshop and Kislev and Vampires and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 22:47

Today with Dudzio we played game on 2250 points. I took Empire and Kislev and Dudzio took Vampire Counts. We played in Bolter, Wrocław, PL.

Both armies ready, Dudzio won initiative but decided that I will start.
I rushed in Bretonnian style.
Then Ungols made retreat.
Ungols horse archers survived charge of Grave Guard.
Crews in panic.
Paniced unit forced to flee.
Cavalry and Steam Tank charged…
and were charged as well.
The end on turn three or four.

Summary:
– still learning about playing Empire and Kislev.
– Dudzio is learning to play Vampire Counts.
– at the moment we stopped – it was something near Draw or Minor Victory for Dudzio.

– thank you Kriss for great game.

 

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: Empire and Kislev vs Chaos Warriors Czwartek, Sier 12 2021 

7th and Chaos Warriors and Classical Warhammer and Empire and Games Workshop and Kislev and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 21:18

Today we played with Tomek battle on 1250 points per side, using 7th edition rules. Tomek played Chaos Warriors and I was playing Empire and Kislev force.

  • Empire and Kislev.
  • Knights Panthers lead by their captain.
  • First turn belong to Empire – 6 vs 1 on rolling who is first.
  • This time cannon managed to destroy chariot.
  • Chaos spawn in it madness moved fastly forward.
  • Empire and Kislev light cavalry on flanks
  • Ungols tried to shoot down enemy beasts.
  • Leaving last living hound was mistake.
  • Pistoliers did the same on the other flank.
  • Spawn charged by knights survived first round of hand to hand combat and was joinded by marauders with flails.
  • Ungols horse archers declared retreat from Chaos knights. One last hound came to Winged lancers, smelling mear.
  • Knights Panters armour was too much for northmen – jet they were weakend by spell of Nurgle.
  • Cannon lost all his targets, as all were in combat.
  • Ungols managed to kill two Chaos Knights.
  • After killing Chaos hound lancers rolled too low and were charged by both – Chaos chariot (Dragon Ogre model) and Chaos Warriors.
  • Few turns later boyar leading unit heavily wounded left field on his loyal steed.
  • Situation on right flank was better than on left.
  • Pistoliers joined fight.
  • First Knight Panther losed in this combat.
  • Situation of handgunners doesn’t look well.
  • Knights Panther’s lowering they lances.
  • Handgunners from Bergsburg left field in panic.

Summary:
– it was our first game and first Tomek’s game after eight years.
– we played on smaller points and we agreed to play on at least 2,000 points next time.
– it was nice game and final result could be something around draw.

 

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.
