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: 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.

 

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.

 

WFB: Kislev #02 painting challenge Wtorek, Sier 4 2020 

5th and 6th and 7th and Games Workshop and Kislev and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 16:59

As part of WROhammer painting challenge I finished Ungol horse archers squadron worth 205 points (full command group) for my Kislev/Empire armies – it’s first round of challenge – end date of it – 6th of August, so I did it before end of time. Next round will be from 6th of August till 6th September. Challenge will ends on 6th of December (four round before me).

Jako część malarskiego wyzwania rzuconego na WROhammer skończyłem warty 205 punktów (pełna grupa dowodzenia) szwadron ungolskich strzelców konnych dla mojej armii Kisleva/Imperium – to była pierwsza runda wyzwania które trwa do 6 sierpnia, udało się przed końcem czasu. Kolejna tura będzie trwała od 6 sierpnia do 6 września. Wyzwanie zakończy się z dniem szóstego grudnia (cztery rundy przede mną).

Yes, I know that such big unit of light cavalry is silly, but I like standar bearer model with skulls of barbarians from Chaos Wastes. /Tak, wiem, że taki duży oddział kawalerii jest głupi, ale lubię sztandarowego z czaszkami barbarzyńców z pustkowi Chaosu.

Unit belongs to southern Kislev town Wrotizla – they are yellow and red. /Oddział przynależy do Kislevskiego miasteczka z południa – Wrotizly – ich barwy są żółte i czerwone.

WFB: Kislev #01 Sobota, Maj 23 2020 

5th and 6th and Games Workshop and Kislev and Oldhammer and Warhammer and WROhammer tancreddebeauville 17:00

Pierwszych pięciu kislevskich strzelców konnych. Pomalowani tak zwykłymi farbami jak i contrastami. Ostatni raz lakierowałem wiele lat temu, tak więc nie jestem pewny czy udało mi się to zrobić dobrze, użyłem matowego lakiery Vallejo. Tak więc jest pięciu więcej żołnierzy dla kislevskiej stanicy Wrotizla. Łącznie sześć pomalowanych modeli (niewidoczny lansjer czeka na pomalowanie reszty swoich kolegów).

First five Kislev horse archers. I painted them with use of normal paints and also with use of contrasts. Many years ago I varnished last time so I’m not sure if I did it well, I used matt varnish from Vallejo. Now I have five more soldiers for Kislev stanitsa Wrotizla. Now I have six painted models in total (winged hussar not visible on photo is waiting for rest of his comrades).
