Small Hut Battle

 Following the success of our big game of warhammer old world,  we thought we'd try out a small game and have a go at battle march!

So the former allies, empire and cathay, fought to see who really let the side down in the big fight!

For our first battle march game neither of us really knew what to put in our armies so had a smattering from across the list.

We ended up fighting over a small tower, whoever controlled it at the end of each player turn picked up 25 VPs.

Deployment was quarters which meant we were on each other pretty quickly!

Cathay horses and general on his beast swept into the empire spears and crossbows winning the fight but the spears were stubborn thanks to the towers special rule.

The empire road wardens hit the Cathay horses rear, providing just enough extra punch to win the fight and run down the horses as they fled.

On the empire right the demigryphs got their charge in and the Cathay units in front of them provided only speed bump as they rode through. 

After a good shove back and forth at the tower the empire were leading 

When we added up the killed units VPs, it was a clear empire victory!

Battle march was good fun and look forward to some more!

Big Hut Battle 2026

Over the years we've tried to get big games in where we can, life logistics just gets in the way.

But! We managed to get together to play some warhammer Old World.

For the scenario we picked the Battle of Nan-Li from the 2nd Cathay related journal and modified it slightly for a bigger table.

This has three objectives on the centre line and the closest core unit to the objective controls it, scoring victory points at the end of each players turn.

 

For the forces we had the glorious Empire of Talabecland allied to the Cathay defenders vs a large force of chaos warriors, knights and several beasts.

The glorious EMPIRE and Cathay, ready to meet the chaos foe.

(The giant? Oh he's a cathayan sentinel, of course!)
 

From the chaos forces moved aggressively forward and captured the objectives uncontested, racking up the VPs whilst the defenders held back and pelted them with missiles and artillery (that wasn't being as effective as hoped!).

Below are start of turn pics that show the movement of each turn.

In the end we ran out of time to finish the game completely!

Despite the late surge from the defenders infantry and the chaos forces dwindling by turn 4 the early scoring had been enough for them to have a healthy lead, added to the bonus score of taking out the sentinel the glorious defenders had left it too late.

Chaos take the day ...

Until next time.....

Vets Lead the Way

I've made a start on a few models from the armageddon box, the vanguard veterans. 

A few embellishments (from dynamic prints) to add a little white scar flavour...

Post undercoat has highlighted a few bits that need a clean up but happy with the look so far.
