Warhammer Triumph and Treachery: Kislev, Dogs of War and Night Goblins

For the climax of SteveFest '26 we went back to Triumph and Treachery, I stuck with Kislev, Kenton took Night Goblins and Steve used the Renegade Crowns list to fashion a Dogs of War Tilean style list.

Da Gobobolinz assemble

Kislev, somewhat squeezed in

Pikes, sir

Loadsa pikes!

A red tide approaches Kislev

Tilean footsoldiers of some sort

Horse archers fleeing, Kossars getting stabbed.

Bold Kossars!

Hmm, I obviously liked this fight

A lot.

Squigs munching on Winged Lancers

Nom, nom, nom!

Da Big Squig went after Horse Archers

Voland's Venators smashed up some Goblin Archers

The Tilean footsoldiers were adrift in the forest

And then a squig ate them

The Kislev Halbardiers tried to charge through a swamp, but were thwarted.

A big win in the end for the Gobobolinz.

But Warhammer was the real winner over the weekend.

And me and Kenton, we were the real winners too

Stephen came second a lot.

Warhammer Battle March: Cathay v Night Goblins

For Day Two of SteveFest '26 we had planned to play a four player Battle March Tournament. However Spandex decided he's rather go to Lincolnshire to play banjo and give high sixes to his family than ride the hovercraft to the Island of Manly Men.

Stephen and Kenton were still keen to give Battle March a go so I sort of umpired and they played out a 750 point game.

Stephen got out his Cathay force

Kenton cut down his Night Goblin force to match

The Cathay warriors formed up

They sent their Ogres off around the flank

The Night Goblins advanced on the the Heath Cliff to take on Cathay.

The lancers prepared to charge

Stephen had squeezed a mini dragon into his force, along with a cannon.

The lancers were soon in the thick of the fighting

Murdering Night Goblins

And putting them to the sword.

A convincing win for the Cathay forces.

750 points of Battle March seemed a bit "big" really. Stephen managed to get a flying monster, artillery and plenty of magic into his force, so we were left wondering what made it different from a game of Warhammer? It was a bit faster, but not massively so. I think 600 is a better point total for BM, forcing you to choose what to include and, because of the reduced numbers of models and rules, playing quicker.

Experiment over we decided to go back to T&T for the last match of the weekend...

Warhmmer Triumph and Treachery: Kislev, High Elves and Night Goblins

Round two of SteveFest'26. More Triumph and Treachery. I again took the Kislev and Kenton his Night Goblins. Stephen settled on a White Lions of Chrace list.

This time it was the game with points for being near the middle.

Lots of scary looking elves with bows arrived

With some chariots to help out

The vagaries of chance had put me opposite the Night Goblins with the Elves far away at the other end of the board.

Uh-oh

Fanatics were soon whizzing about the place

And the Griffon legion decided to see how tough Mangler Squigs are.

Tougher than Griffon Legion it turns out.

In the centre the Kislev infantry closed in.

As the Squig gobbled down the last of the Knights

The Night Goblins attacked, the Kossars countercharged.

Yum, yum!

The stout men of Kislev stood firm

Having enjoyed one lot of tasty horse flesh the Mangler decided to eat some more

As the Squigs devoured some archers

The Night Goblins were being whittled away

High Elf axemen trudged across the board.

The White Lion chariot thumped into the Night Goblin archers.

Morgan Freeman voice: This did not end well for the Night Goblins

More horses were being Mangled

The bulk of the Elf force had not made it into combat

And as the battle ended the halberdiers cutting down the Goblin Deathstar meant I had the biggest paychest!

Urrrah! for Kislev!

Great fun game with all the usual T&T chaos and backstabbing.
