Warhammer Relief of Karak Eight Peaks

Deep in the annals of time way back when everything was black and white and made of wood the Warhammer 4th edition Dwarf army book had some army lists for a game based on the Relief of Karak Eight Peaks.
So Steve suggested we play that. But using 8th edition rules, naturally.
Steve had pretty much all the models needed, so all I provided was a single unit of Night Goblin archers.

Unfortunately I'm still struggling to get good pictures in the North Notts Gaming Hall, so what follows are few and dark

The path to the hold lies open:


The fearsome slayers of the relief force.


The Clan Dwarfs on their way to relive their besieged fellows.


Te defenders of the hold sallied forth.


The clans dwarfs got some Orc in the face.


Skarsnik arrived with his red hooded lads.


And unleashed whirling death on the Longbeards.


The Slayers were whittled by archery.


More fanatics dogged the relief force.


With the Slayers thinned out they were easy pickings for the Squigs (though they played havoc with their death spasms)


The relieving dwarfs ploughed though the Night Goblins.


And that's where the pictures run out. 
We called it a draw in the end - the Lord of the relief force still lived, but most of his army was dead. Including the Lord who held the hold. So effectively the Dwarfs swapped one Lord for another.

A good fun game that actually held in the balance right the way through.
