Warhammer Old World New Units

Big picture dump of units completed and battle ready over the last few weeks.  Many more coming soon including my Dark Elf and Ogre Kingdom armies.

First up are new Empire units, including the Enpire War Wagon.  I've always wanted a War Wagon and absolutely love this model!

My Orc army is expanding ...

The last few Bretonnian units to finish that army ...

Some Skaven Warplock Jezzails ...

And finally a Hydra for my Dark Elves ...

I'm on track to have my 10 armies at 3,500 points each done by the end of this year.

Warhammer Old World Battle Report: Orcs vs Empire

Dave Keyser, whom I ran into at a recent convention, is an old friend from way back in my Warhammer Fantasy 5th/6th edition days.  We got together to play his Empire list against my Orc list - both at 2,000 points.  Dave is getting ready for an upcoming tournament and wanted to get some more sink time with the rules, so I was happy to oblige him!


The picture below shows the deployment completed.


The power of Mork and Gork compelled the horde forward into the ranks of the waiting Empire troops. Those pesky hummies tried to shot uz down!  Took some light casualties getting to grips with the many Empire Knight units.  My Black Orc Warlord on his Wyvern had to go take care of the Steam Tank, which took several turns.  Once he had cleared that the rest of the army had the Empire troops either defeated and on the run, or pinned into combats they were not going to win.  As the free units pivoted around to support the remaining ongoing combats, the Empire lost all hope and retired from the battlefield.

Pictures below of the game.  Due to time constraints during the game I only took pictures between turns 1 and 2 - but afterwards I spent some time doing some staged pictures.





























Two games this weekend - what times we live in!  Now back to the paint table!
