Warhammer: The Old World Triumph and Treachery - Beastmen, Orcs and Goblins

Following the game Stephen and I played Kenton arrived and we embarked on a Triumph and Treachery game. Stephen and I stuck with our Beasts and Orcs respectively and Kenton had his horde of Night Goblins.

In a triumph of optimism over experience Stephen elected to set up in the middle zone.

My Orcs castled in the corner.

Waving their totems and shouting their guttural warcries.

The Boarboys swept round the flank.

Don't remember what's going on here.

The Beastmen held their ground.

The Beasts went to defile the sacred Goblin Pile of Poo!

Lots of red stuff was bouncing about.

See, loads.

Bouncy things bounced towards me.

A Beast chariot smashed in to the Squigpocalypse.

Followed by Beastmen and a Shaggoth.

The rest of the Goblins hung back.

Orcs and Goblins got it on!

Boars take chariot to the face.

Shaggoth versus Mangler the classic match up.

The Greenskins were rather ganging up on the Beastmen.

The Orcs were grinding the Beastmen down.

The Night Goblins squared off with the Dragon Ogres.

Seeing one of them off.

The Orcs went Chariot hunting.

As more Orcs jeered and fired arrows.

The Shaggoth went to work.

As the battle drew to a close I had the highest pay-chest and the Orcs were victorious!

Great fun to play Warhammer and although T&T isn't really designed for The Old World we managed to muddle through it.

Warhammer The Old World: Orcs v Beastmen

Stephen braved leaving the 1950s on the Isle of Manly Men and journeyed to modern times on a flying visit to Nottingham.

So we had a game of soldiers. Well actually we had two games of soldiers, but this is a post about the first one. He bought his tournament honed Beastmen and I took all Orcs.

I had a big block of Big 'Uns, plus some Chariots.

Big Un Boarboys too and quite a few Arrer Boys.

Big block o'Beastmen.

Some skirmishers and minotaurs.

Converted Harpies.

The lads rumbled forward.

 

Boars crashed in to Dragon Ogres. Stephen was carefully positioning his troops to take full advantage of my lads impetuousness.

The Beast Chariot thumped home.

The lads tried taking the fight to the Shaggoth

The annoying harpies charged the chariot in the flank.

Arrer lads are no match for a chatiot.

Or a Shaggoth.

But the other Chariot at least drew with the harpies.

Next it was the turn of the "board and sword" lads to take a chariot in the face.

Meanwhile the Big 'Uns were getting stuck in.

This went rather better for the green lads.

The Shaggoth meanwhile pounded the chariot to matchwood.

And the Harpy Chariot dust-up ground on.

At last Big Algernon got to grips with the Minotaurs.

And started handing it out.

The Big Uns were making decent progress against the Gor

Big Algernon continued his work.

And still the chariot and harpies ground on their fight.

Dragon Ogres came to help out against the Boys.

And another Beastman chariot evened the odds for the fight in the centre.

Freed up, the Shaggoth turned to look for fresh green meat.

The Big 'Uns were grinding down the Gors in the centre.

However they were overcome and the remaining Gor fell on the Arrer Boys.

The last of the Orcs were surrounded by the Beasts.

The remaining Orcs roared their defiance as the net closed in.

The battlefield belongs to the Beasts!

Great fun game and good to get the Warhammer toys out on the table after a long break. Stephen's been playing a lot more than me and is generally a much better player so I was always on the back foot. 

Want to paint some more Greenskins now.
