Warmaster Revolution : Kislev v. Ogres

 Our  Warmaster campaign seems to have rapidly lost momentum. One player has moved to Italy in order to avoid taking part and another Italian has surrendered without playing a single game. You are free to make up your own jokes based on stereotypes at this point.

Anyway, frantically persisting Andy and I met - he with his Ogres, me with my Kislev. He recently traded in his part painted metal Ogres for some resin ones that are more like the Warhammer Ogre figures. I rather liked the "characterful" nature of the metal sculpts and if I ever do an Ogre army I'd get some of those, but Andy disagreed. Anyway that's why his army is barely painted at all.

Here's the video version of events:


I didn't take many pictures and it was all a bit brutal, 

The Kislev horse arrives


More Kislev


Mournfangs - oooh!


I had more lancers having recently painted some


The horse pushed up


Yikes, Gorgers all up in our business!


They took some shots on the way in but...


The Mournfangs slaughtered the un-laagered war wagon and accompanying troops - I sent some lancers to help out


And took revenge on the Gorgers


But more Ogres were in my flank.


And in my front


And in my flank again


Well, you get the general vibe


The axemen resolved to sell their lives dearly in the village, but the game was up


That was nasty - Ogres hit hard and a couple of crucial failed rolls really made it hard for me.

Ah well, another good game though.

  1. Keeping folks interested in a campaign is a challenge.
    From the photos it seems like the Ogres were coming from every direction. Maybe their luck will settle down once they are painted and suffer from the first time out curse.

  2. A great looking game though no doubt painted Ogres would be much nicer.... All these wonderful Warmaster games have lead me to start collecting a few armies of my own.

  3. That's quite a lot of Midgard! How did he do the campaign? I'd be curious...

    1. Was this supposed to be on the Midgard Moot post, Mike? The campaign was a series of three games involving Vikings invading England and Saxons resisting. I don't know the details but if I know James they'll be appearing in printed form (one of the magazines or a Pint Sized Campaign in the not too distant future
