Finlay and I met up at Warhamster World in Nottingham for a 2550-point Treachery and Greed game. After a chilly walk along the canal path (summer is long over in England) we arrived to find the gaming hall full of school children.
Not that you can see any of them on those pictures. But it was much busier than usual!
After buying a set of the new magic cards (the guy in the shop was more interested in talking to someone else than taking my money), we unpacked our armies.
This is mine.
This is Finlay's.
Here's my army list:
General Condottiere squid tattoos, shield of Myrmidia, privateer's sabre, 238
potion of excessive speed, pistol
Tactician, stubborn
Shaman Lord Level 4, panda pelt 230
Halfling Warlord Cockatrice, spear, light crossbow, curiass of perfect safety 154
Carroccio 180
24 Men-at-arms great weapons, full plate, command 265
25 Dwarf mercenaries dwarf pikes, command, banner of Ranald 300
(Condottiere's retinue)
10 Condotta Marksmen arquebuses 90
10 Condotta Marksmen arquebuses 90
25 Condotta Soldiers command 150
10 Knights lances, full plate, barding, command 255
10 Border Horsemen command 145
10 Halfling Rangers slings 110
Horse Artillery 90
Mortar 75
Mortar 75
Great Cannon 100
This is almost the same list as I used in the 5000-points report. I swapped my pikemen for men-at-arms because I wanted to stick to GW models while in Warhamster World. I gave the halflings slings to take advantage of the new sling rules, dropped the ribaudequin because it never does anything, and added a halfling warlord on a cockatrice.
Finlay will probably post his list later.
For my wizard lord, I had the spells throne of vines, flesh to stone, flock of doom, and transformation of Kadon. Finlay had throne, transformation, beast of horos and dwellers below on his lord, and mindrazor and pendulum on his level two.
I was quite please to have rolled transformation, since I had brought a manticore and chimera especially.
Deployment:
Cannon, horse archers and knights (including the general). Finlay's brigands took the woods.
Men-at-arms (plus the BSB and wizard lord), halberdiers (plus ogre captain), carefully-positioned arquebussiers (including the level two wizard).
Mortar, cannon and ogres.
My hobbits occupied the tower.
Horse archers, cockatrice, arquebussiers and cannon.
Knights, dwarf pikes (plus the wizard lord), halberdiers and two mortars.
Men-at-arms (plus the general), arquebussiers, carroccio and horse artillery.
To be continued!
