Warhammer 8th - Ogres v Empire

To the North Nottingham Palais des Jeux once more for some Proper Warhammer.
2k points, Dawn Whatsit scenario (where you dice for where your units show up).

All of mine turned up on the left of the river which left Steve with a bunch of Empire troops stuck over on his left a long way from combat.


Steve began by shuffling his horsey types around (I hate pistoliers and the other shooty empire horsey fellas)


The Ogres just ran forwards. Or at least the ones that didn't have a spell cast on them did.


 Gentlemen, start your engines.


Over the other side of the river the Empire began massing.


Eventually the general swung round behind my lines.


At some point around here the Leadbelchers caused enough wounds on the crossbow unit to panic them (and the Grey wizard hiding with them). They fled the table - taking most of the Empire magic with them.

The halbardiers splashed into the river. And eight of them were washed away.


The general decided to take on the Leadbelchers.


Who cooked his goose/griffon. Turned out he was better on foot.


The Bulls crashed into the remains of the halbardiers and routed them back over the river.


Finally the Leadbelchers disposed of the Empire general and with that Steve conceded.

It was a short and brutal game. My dice were on fire and Steve's weren't.

I do love Warhammer.
