Wormaster 2026 - Game Three: Kislev v Wood Elves

And so to the final game. Usually every Warmaster Tournament I go to I end up playing regular opponent Alan. Only Alan couldn't make it this time, so instead in game three I ended up playing regular opponent Andy with his Wood Elves. Which was all good with me.

The table was ludicrously scenery heavy. The organisers were experimenting with ways to reduce the (IMO entirely fictitious) perceived dominance of heavy cavalry in the game. It certainly had the effect of making my Kislev army quite hard to use, though I'm not sure that was the intention.

How much terrain is too much terrain...?


Ummm....


TBH I really can't remember the game at all. I know Andy and I had a fun time, because we always do when we play soldiers.

Fighting, in a field.


Hmmm, this looks quite bad, actually.


Few, a field to hide in.


More field based combat,


Lets have a fight on this open ground, here!


More Wood Elf cavalry catching more Kislev cavalry


Again, this looks less than ideal from a Kislev perspective.


More killing and death going on here.


A jolly good fun game. Which I lost. Standard.

 And so that was the end of Wormaster 2026. A fabulous event as always. Three great games with three great opponents.

  1. That is definitely an overcrowded battlefield. Going out on a limb here and talking history, but armies wanted open terrain to fight in. They would not offer battle if they felt the terrain offered the defense to great an advantage. That you still had fun is what matters most.
    I enjoy reading your Warmaster posts as I have been trying to get my own forces back on the table this whole summer without success.
