Warhammer Big Game

Every so often, as a club we organise a massive game with multiple players on each side with a large amount of models, we've done it with Warhammer 40,000, Bolt Action and this time it was Warhammer.

In the past we have found that the time invested in sorting a scenario, creating army lists, painting new units and creating special pieces of scenery, is usually undone when the battle begins. Either one side dominates  or the scenario, that looked good on paper, is just not that good in practice.

So it was with trepidation, that we decided to give a big game another go, pitting Klepo Elliot and Cortez's Skaven against Binx, Zed and Lordybloke's combines '3 flavours' of Chaos (Daemons, Warriors and Beastmen)

So with the size of battle, 6000pts a side, and the scenario, XXXXXX, chosen, we got under way, little did we know that once again one of our big games wouldn't quite be what we were expecting.

Beasts, Beasts, Beasts - The Return

Following the last "which is better" I thought we'd best find out which is better out of the GW Cygor

And The Maelstrom Banebeasts Cyclops stone wielder, Kermorannac

Poll, usual place. Vote on!

GW wins again with 62% of the vote!

Beasts, beasts, beasts

Which is better?


The upcoming GW Ghorgon?





or the Maelstrom BaneBeasts Oxgore?






There's only one way to find out!

Figh.....errr....a Poll!

The results came in with 70% in favour of the Ghorgon!
Skulls are obviously bang on trend!

Food + Fight

We had a big WFB battle, 6k Choas alliance took on 6k Lizard and Dwarf alliance in a battle to secure 3 mine shafts.
Although the Chaos forces were seriously reduced, they still managed to grab a 1-0 win when 6 turns of 'tourniment' play was over.
I started taking pictures at the beginning but didnt take any mid game shots ( I think Zed did)

Thanks goes out to the Zed family for allowing us to take over their house for a great days gaming and a magnificent spread....

The Dwarf Gunline awaits contact

The beasts sweep round the flank led by the Jabberwo...slythe...

The Slayers eye up their adversaries

The Lizardmen reserves

The Lizards enter on the right flank

Gor, What a scorcha

Whilst I was in GW Cribbs buying 'The Green Knight' to convert into a Wight King, I saw they had a Beastman painting competition, so thought i'd give it a go.
They only had Ungor left and here's my entry. Don't know what the prize is.....
