WFB 7th: Never ever go on ogres without guns Czwartek, Maj 5 2022 

7th and Bretonnia and Games Workshop and Ogres and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 21:57

Today we played smaller game in WFB on 1250 points per side, I took my cavalry Empire and Kislev and my enemy took Ogres. It was nice, two hours game, where I discovered, that one cannon could make difference – but I don’t have any such device today.

Summary:
– this day belong to Ogre Kingdoms!

 

WFB 7th: Empire and Kislev vs hungry Ogres Niedziela, Gru 12 2021 

7th and Empire and Games Workshop and Kislev and Ogres and Warhammer tancreddebeauville 20:46

Today we played standard pitched battle on 2000 points.

  • Both armies prepared – Kriss won initiative and give me a chance to start first turn.
  • Wizards from Lore of Beast and Lore of Fire.
  • Again I played this army as I played with Bretonnia.
  • First loses among Kislev Winged Lancers, losed unit of Empire pistoliers.
  • With blocked line of sight I charged ogre lord – won combat – but he passed break test and bravely stood.
  • I managed to take three wounds from giant, unhapilly he was angry after that and run on my handgunners.
  • Rhinos charged Knights Panther.
  • More units fighting against Winged Lancers.
  • Winged Lancers destroyed, I charged on flanks with light cavalry.
  • Giant routed handgunners.
  • Dwarf mercenaries charged ogre tyrant in a desperate act to stop him.
  • Retreat!
  • We finished game after around 4 turns – as we don’t have more time.

Summary:
– has to paint some more infantry, war machines – for 2000 points I have too much cavalry.
– need to paint 10-15 Dwarfs, they seem to be great unit.
– thank you Kriss for great game.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Summary:

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.
