SteveFest 2025 - Greenskin Threesome Game One

Once more to the Palais Des Jeus on the Island of Manly Men for our annual Warhammer weekender.

We decided on a threeway Orc and Goblin bash - The Old World rules, Triumph and Treachery version. I took All Orcs All the Time, Kenton took All (Night) Goblins and Stephen took a Nomadic Waaagh list.

First game was all bout being closest to the Idol.

Its getting on for a month or so since we played, so y memories have grown old and dim.

My Mighty Waaagh Gruzzkupp was in one corner

The Nomadic Waaagh Ginganutz was is another

The Itchy Nakkaz tribe had unwisely opted to deploy as the filling for an Orc sandwich.

They did have plenty of red boingy stuff though.

The field of Waaagh!

Impressive work from Gruzzkupp

Red stuff was soon flying about

Boing, snarl, boing!

Unperturbed the Nomads revved up their Porcine transport.

As the Gruzzkupp Black Orcs looked on.

Soon the Nomads and Red Bouncy things were fighting.

Pig versus enormous space hopper with teeth - the classic match up.

Warboss Ginganutz mounted on an angry yellow flying lizard pushed up towards the Idol.

As Gruzzkupp and his ladz looked on.

The Gruzkupp Boarladz smashed home.

As Ginganutz's boys did the same

A whole world of Waaagh!

Ginganutz had wisely saved some chariots to deal with the Squig herds.

As his boarboys rampaged on.

Crushing puny Night Goblins.

Another chariot whacked into the Black Orcs of Waaagh! Gruzzkupp

Finally Ginganutz swooped down to deal with the Gruzzkupp chariots.

After five turns of hardcore Greenskin on Greenskin Action Waaagh Ginganutz had an unassailable lead, Da Itchy Nakkaz were all dead and Gruzzkupp had come second.

Some bonus phone pictures.

Great fun game that looked really splendind with loads of classic (and some more recent) GW figures on the table.

Warmater 25 Game Five: Kislev and Lizardmen v. Vampires and Daemons

 And so toi the final game of the splendid Warmaster 25 event.

Another doubles affair I was paired with Arvjin and his Lizardmen against Mark with Vampires and Austen with Daemons. The scenario involved grabbing objectives and running them back to your deployment zone.

I faced off against the Daemons and the Lizards were lined up to deal with the Vampires. My co-player had a plan - I was happy to be led. However it rapidly began to fall apart...

The proud warriors of Kislev lineup by their cold blooded allies

The Lizards assembled by the temple.

With a weird noise and a smell of sulphur Austen's Daemons appeared.

Some undead types lingered toward the rear.

The Slaan had foreseen everything.

The skinks toook to the skies

My horse archers once again found themselves fighting enemies to the front - a situation that never ends well

However they were more successful in the centre where they were able to surround enemies.

Battle was joined with both enemy forces.

Many Daemons were banished, but the undead ground my troops down.

In the end the evil forces were able to snatch away the objectives and then rapidly push us to a point where they could claim the win.

I did reaosnably well against the Daemons, but the scenario was against us and the Lizards found the Vampires a tough nut to crack.

A jollly and hard fought game that bought a fitting end to a wonderful weekend of gaming.

Thanks again to the organisers, all my opponents, and Alan for driving us all there!
