Magic & muscles 🔮💪🏻

Yesterday Grimbeorn and I played a little 1000 pts WFB game, High Elves vs Ogre Kingdoms. This was the first game ever for Grimbeorn's Ogres, newly purchased and built. Nice battle indeed, even if my poor Elves perished against the smashing hits of their colossal foes...

A simple deployment with some terrain elements: a couple of forests, a swamp, a haunted mansion, some obstacles and a sinister statue. The field is almost too big for just 1000 pts

Both armies are made of elite warriors, so few models. The big Ogres dominate the battlefield with their tonnage. The empty base on the Elves' side near the swamp is a Lion Chariot

Nice magic phase for the Elves: a triple one in the first spell of the first turn...

My Elves move forward but the Silver Helms stay away from the Mournfang Cavalry and their devastating charge

The Ogres move forward too, but they didn't charge. In the second turn, The Phoenix Guard and the Lion Chariot charge the vanilla Ogre unit with the Firebelly

A nice Grimbeorn shows what finger must be used when you save two sixes with two sixes

Third turn! Bad things here: the Ogres are wiped out, but the Ironguts and Leadbelchers surround the Elves, and the Mournfang Cavalry finally charges the Silver Helms

"My sire, they're big..."

"My sire, they're too big!"

With a nice tactical move, the Leadbelchers destroy the Chariot, make an overrun move and impact on the other flank of the Phoenix Guard. The Elves look like an hamburger between two Ogre buns!

It's a slaughter, and it could have been worst but the Phoenixes have an exceptional ward save thanks to High Magic 

There can be only one BSB on this field! The Ogre is now devouring the Elf banner. This shall not be forgotten

The survived Elves flee, but their enemy catch them: it's the end for the champions of Asuryan

Triple one to wound for the Silver Helms: the Fate has turned against us once again!

I can still hear Grimbeorn's laughter in seeing his mounted Ogres run over the Elven cavalry

The outcome: an absolute massacre. The Ogres showed their strength and power!

It was a nice game, we had fun and we could try the Ogre Kingdom Army Book for the first time. Grimbeorn was really happy of the outcome, and I cannot wait to take my revenge!
