Warmaster Revolution: Ogres v Chaos

Way, way back in 2024 (just before Christmas) Andy bought his Ogres round to the Soldier Shack for a game of Warmaster. He's got the very jolly metal Ogres from Black Gate miniatures, that I've been resisting for a while. The army's been WiP for a while so Andy figured a game with them might encourage him to get them finsihed.

I decided to meet fire with fire and take Chaos - tow close combat, charge-y armies, what could possibly go wrong...?

I filmed things and made a video, if that's your bag - proper report follows below.

Anyway, I won the role for scouting and so Andy set up first.

Not wasting any time the Warriors advanced, into a wood.

The Brigade of Big Lads on Hairy Hefalumps gave me pause for thought.

Another big hairy brigade, this time of Yhetees.

My cavalry pushed up.

With more (plus a Dragon) on the flank.

He does like his big hairy blokes.

Still hugging the wood.

The Chaos forces prepare to strike home.

The flank is secure. Probably.

The Dragon Ogres race off to deal with the Hairy Brigade.

A bit of shooting disrupted my line.

Lets see how tough Yhetees are.

Ghostly Ogres in a field.

A Mexican stand off between the heavy cavalry types.

Oh dear.

Wiping out the Dragon Ogres the Hairy Lads raced in to the woods.

As more Ogres crashed home.

Although the Hairy Hefalumps fell to the knights, the unexpected arrival of Gorgers did not go well.

The fight in the wood was not going well either.

And sure enough soon after this I reached break point and the battlefield belonged to The Great Maw!

Turns out that although Chaos is pretty good at charging stuff in the face, so are Ogres.

Quite tempted now to get an Ogre army of my own (to match my WFB one).

Here's a few extra bonus phone pictures too.

Great fun game with a great opponent (and rules and vocal support from Alan too).
