Warhammer 8th edition Ogres v. Empire

So gaming has resumed.
Over to The North Notts Palais des Jeux where the table ensured social distancing and an open door minimised the spread of germs.
I took 2,000 points of Ogres - Stephen was concerned he would have to fight Mournfangs, Big Cannon, Slave Giant and Stonehorn. But I reassured him I've only actually finished painting one of those things. He took an Empire gunline.
We played the scenario where you have to capture flags.

Stephen's army is from Nordland - all blue and yellow.

He had a big unit of greatswords - yikes and some Outriders. I hate outriders.

But not as much as I hate and fear Pistoliers. He had some of them, too.

And a big bock of halbardiers.

I ran towards the Nordlanders. They stood still and shot.

Fortunately without much impact.

I had some Ironguts hanging about on the flank.

Deciding charging was better than being charged the Greatswords ploughed home.

However they failed to break through and got a tyrant in the flank.

"Yum, yum - they're quite tasty once you get 'em out of the tin they come in..."

The mournfangs ploughed into the halbardiers.

Something of an error. They may be huge, powerful and well armoured cavalry, but they are just cavalry. And cavalry suck in 8th edition.

The grind continued in centre field.

Much reduced, the mournfangs still won. So now they no longer hate us...

Cavalry of a blue and yellow variety to the rescue!

The Outriders were outshot by the Leadbelchers in the tower.

The greatswords finally saw off the unit they had initially charged, but their knightly helpers had fled.

Ogre might saw off the rest of the unit - leaving just the standard bearer.

Who was promptly stamped to death.

With that, all flags were mine and the Ogres had triumphed.

A good fun, but quite quick game.
The Ogres are a very simple army and so I just point them at the enemy and let the stats do the rest.
I'm not sure they're much fun to play against though. So may have to use them sparingly.
