Warmaster Revolution: Kislev v. Lizardmen

With Warmaster 25 over thoughts have turned towards to our Winter Warmer event in January. Alan has come up with a new scenario he wanted to try out so that's what we did.

First a video

Alan started the game at a rare old lick and managed double moves with his entire army racing up to claim defended status in the fields.

The Kislev forces stood firm

Not one, but two War wagons

And blocks of cavalry

Skinks and Krox move up.

The gems were representing objectives

They have a T-Rex with them!

The wagon laagered to block the passage

As the Lizards pushed up

Shooting from the Kislev forces pushed some Lizards out of the field.

Still the lizards massed

The second wagon was stuck in the field

Sneaky Lizards flew down to attack the end of the line

Cold one cavalry pushed up

The lizards closed in

As the laager held firm

Horse archers massed behind the lizards

The Kislev cavalry had some initial success killing Cold Ones but were in turn caught in the open

Eventually the blue tide  struck home

Winged lancers were caught from behind

The wagon held firm but the troops with it all died.

On the other flank the wagon stalled but shooting drove back the Lizards

The Lizards closed in on the war wagon.

With the destruction of the wagon the Kislev break-point was reached and Alan claimed the win.

A good fight which saw me on the back foot for most of the game after Alan's excellent start. The wagon was impressive in defence but quite easily outmanoeuvred.

Some additional pictures from my phone

Warmaster 25 Game Three: Chaos v Kislev

For this game I was again on my own and facing Peter who had come all the way from Germany with a Chaos army that bore a close resemblance to the version I use.
Naturally this would make things easy for me as I know intimately how best to use such an army and would no doubt be able to bring all my experience to bear to secure an easy victory!
Ahem

Peter's lovely Chaos Knights

And plenty more Chaos besides

The Winged Lancers stand ready

War Wagons ready to roll

The lines clash

Bears get stuck in

As the cavalry watches on

More Chaos moves up

The wagons are engaged

Brutal close quarter combat

Sadly for me Peter's army worked in almost exactly the way mine never ever does - charged in, handed it out and won in very short order!

The laagered war wagon proved a tough nut to crack but despite that with objectives seized and units smashed apart it was all over in a few short and bloody turns.

A great fun game with a very nice opponent though.

Kislevember: Warmaster Kislev WarWagon

This is the actual model that was "inked up" and photographed for WarMag when Kislev was released.
I was given it by Jervis or Andy or Tom M. when the Fanatic studio was closed down along with some other of the Warmaster Kislev samples as they knew I liked and played the game.
It then sat in my lead pile until Warmaster 25 gave me the excuse to undercoat and paint it up.

The crew were already glued in, which was a bit of a pain to paint!
