Warlord Kargir Warband

This is my first army project for Warlord. The army will consist of about 30 minis including Black Orcs, Night Goblins, Squigs (yes, Squigs) and Troll. I'm going to use mostly OOP GW models from 5th edition of Warhammer. I think they suit this warband the best, even better than original reaper models. Also I think that Warhammer 5ed line was best mini line ever!

Design

I want to make this warband a nasty, evil look. There would be no place for humor. Thats why I have to chose my goblin carefully as most of Night Goblins are just funny. Also I'll change squigs into something more nasty.

Troop 1: Black Orcs

This is my strongest unit. It would consist of the heaviest orc warriors in this warband. The leader of whole group would be Gologh the Vicious.

Troop 2: Tundra Stalkers

Masters of blade, tundra stalkers are masters at fighting 2 weapons. Torg is their leader. He has 2 tundra stalkerz that will follow his orders. This warband will be also accompanied by Warbringer, an elite warrior. This unit can give a great deal of blows. This will be good versus large quantities of low armored troopers.

Troop 3: Goblin Pack

Leadered by Orc called Hrodash the Painmaster goblin pack is a very important unit of this warband. While not so powerfull in fighting as other troops, this guys can literally swarm enemy units. Hrodash is a true goblin slaver. He wears Armor of Courage (which protects him from goblin bites) and allows to preform free inspire action that encourages goblins to fight with greater furry. Goblins are just goblins but occasionally Knax Madmaw, the goblin crazy shaman, joins this unit. Normally he spends most of his days eating mushrooms and experimenting his spells on other goblins, but when tribe is in need, he strikes at foe.

Troop 4: Mountain Troll

This army wouldn't be complete if there would be no troll in it. Mountain troll is awesome monster. I'll probably get second troll for bigger battles, but let's talk about first one. Mountain Trolls are very tough. My troll will be fighting with axe and shield. Warlord trolls are bit different than Warhammer trolls and no so stupid. Some of troll races have even a shaman which actually can cast incredible spells!

Troop 5: Squig Hyenas

I need some of those units to outmaneuver the enemy. Small units of squig hyenas will add extra initiative card and give mobility to this warband. They are just perfect to rush at enemy to give support to my orcs or to fight with swift attack tactics, slowing down the enemy.

[Battle Report] Mordheim: Undead vs Witch Hunters

We played Breakthrough scenario again. I was an attacker, again.



BATTLE



This is Terrain we used in this battle. So this was a breakthrought scenario, and objective was clear, I had to pass on the other side of town. I've devided my band into 2 teams of my undead. One with Monique, Andrew, Ian and 4 ghouls and second with rest of warband. Not the best tactic. Both units came into close combat. I've lost 4 men. 3 Ghuols and Andrew. And I have not pass a bottle test. I've put down 2 flagellants and one dog. In post-battle sequence it turned out that one flagellant was killed.







MY THOUGHTS

After battle I've already bought a new ghoul and one ghoul has finely advanced into hero! I definitely have to buy unholy relic for my Vampiress.

Crypt Ghouls

Hi there!

Those are Ghouls I'm using for my Mordheim warband.

[Battle Report] Mordheim: Undead vs Witch Hunters

So here is my last battle of Mordheim. We played Breakthrough scenario. I was an attacker an my enemy was defender. So I had to set up my undeads first, than my enemy set up his witch hunters. His boys have much more expirience than mine, but I had more guyz in my army so this was quite same ratting.



BATTLE



I decided to divide my army into two teams. I knew I had the first turn so I wasn't covering my minis yet.





The witch hunter player decided to divide his army too. But his main force was on the side with vampire.





Vampiress was leading her ghoul troop into combat carefully, coz she knows that bolts from witch hunters crossbows can be deadly even to her.





On second flak Necromancer rush his team with courage. Nothing can stop him and his troops, as he is the one who controls the dead.





This was the first blood. One ghoul and vampiress attacked witch hunters dog. And killed him. Witch hunters than moved back and tried to kill vampire witch crossbow, but missed all shots.





This was the last picture taken, before close combat. There is one more witch hunter under that bridge. Flagellant and one witch hunter have charged succesfully on ghouls. Second witch hunter was shooting with his crossbow pistol but missed. One ghoul has taken out of action flagellant before he could swing back with his great weapon. Witch hunter has put knock out one ghoul (he had KaBoom on blackpowder misfire table). Than the undeads have charged putting out of action witch hunter with pistols and stunning the other one. Without whole flank witch hunters volontary routed.



MY THOUGHTS

It's good to have strength in numbers. My ghouls are S4 and this can be very deadly to any enemy. My warband is painted after this battle. Now, I'm going to glue some more Mordheim terrain. Also I'll make new warband the possesed of Tzeentch basing on regular possesed warband rules.

2 Mordheim Battles

I've just played two Mordheim battles. I took some photos but they are blurry so I wont post them. Also my warband (The Undeads) is not painted yet. I've played my fist battle with this warband some long time ago. This how it looked before those 2 battles.

UNDEAD
Monique the Vampire (Sword, Dagger, Heavy Armor, Shield, Lucky Charm)
Judas the Necromancer (Sword, Dagger, Call of Vanhell)
Igor the Dreg (Sword, Dagger)
John the Dreg (Spear, Rope and Hook, +1I, Stupidity)
Andrew the Dreg (Axe and Club)

4 Ghouls
Wilhelm the Zombie (Once he was witch hunter leader, but in last battle he was captured and turned into zombie :). I did get all his equipment like brace of pistols, sword, helmet and lucky charm)



WITCH HUNTERS
There was a priest with 2 hammers, 3 witch hunters and one flagellant hero. there were two henchmen flagellants and one wardog. Witch hunters had one crossbow, pistols and sword combo, and crosbowpistol, mace and sword. Flagellants were armed with two handed weapons. Flagellant hero had strongman and lighting reflexes skills.




BATTLE
The first battle was skirmish. I took an initiative on this one. I made two groups. First with my vampiress Monique, stupid dreg and two ghouls. Second with Judas, Igor and Andrew and one zombie and two ghouls.
From first group: John didn't pass his supidity twice. Ghouls go hide. John in 3rd turn was attacked by wardog and he died. Then 2 ghouls eat the dog. Than flagellant henchman charge one ghoul, but miss. Ghouls attack him and put him stunned. Than ghouls break from combat with stunned flagellant and charge the guy with pistols and sword succesfully putting him stuned.
Monique in 2nd turn has charged warrior priest. She get wounded by him but with a little help of Igor the dreg she put him down.
Second group: A zombie was boosted by necromancer, and moved forward. Ghouls and dregs were behind him and Judas was the last. Enemy sharpsooter (the guy with crossbow and quick shoot) was on elevated position and took down one of my ghouls. Than I attacked 2 flagellants with Igor, Andrew, and zombie. Flagellant hero took out zombie and Andrew. Igor took out flagellant henchmen, and than attacked warrior priest (I mentioned it earlier). When he and Monique was done with priest all had attacked flagellant hero. It was very hard to kill him. But finaly I've put him down.

This is how our warbands were looking after that battle.

UNDEAD
Monique the Vampire (Sword, Dagger, Heavy Armor, Shield, Lucky Charm, Lightning Reflexes)
Judas the Necromancer (Sword, Dagger, Call of Vanhell, +1WS)
Igor the Dreg (Sword, Dagger, +1A)
John the Dreg (Spear, Rope and Hook, +1I, Stupidity)
Andrew the Dreg (Axe and Club, Nervous Condition, +1I)

4 Ghouls (one with +1Ld, two with +1S)
Wilhelm the Zombie



WITCH HUNTERS
Flagellant hero did get 2 new skills. Resilient and second I can't remember. The guy with pistols and sword get step aside. And this is all I can remember now. They all get holy relics. And lucky charms.



SECOND BATTLE
Second one was defend the find. I was an attacker. All units run to the building. Than the witch hunters start taking out one by one my warband members. In the end of first turn he took out of action zombie and 3 ghouls. John was knocked down. I've passed rout test and tried to kill some of those bastards but non of my hits was succesfull. In enemy's turn I've lost Igor and Andrew dregs and Judas the necromancer fell down and was stuned. I've decided to run away.



My warband after that battles.

UNDEAD
Monique the Vampire (Sword, Dagger, Heavy Armor, Shield, Lucky Charm, Lightning Reflexes)
Judas the Necromancer (Sword, Dagger, Call of Vanhell, +1WS)
Igor the Dreg (Sword, Dagger, +1A, Cause Fear, Resilient)
John the Dreg (Spear, Rope and Hook, +1I, Stupidity, +1WS)
Andrew the Dreg (Axe and Club, Nervous Condition, +1I)

7 Ghouls (one with +1Ld, six with +1S)



FOR THE END
Although I had many warriors out of action I had a bot of luck on post battle sequence. Igor is now resilien and cause fear (this was from Injury). Andrew lost 1I and then he advanced 1I. I get three new ghouls with +1S. Hope they will be able to kill more easily.

I'm going to paint those minis soon so you can see what I'm talking about.

Mordheim Durchii Warband

I've got great concept of Durchii Warband for Mordheim.

I'll order minis soon. I prefer Reaper minis for this warband, hope my warband would be suitable for Warlord too. I heard there are some Warlord players in my area. This warband is total WYSIWYG. I may make few conversions like weapon change or head swap, but this is mostly what I'll be using. This warband has 12 warriors and probably I won't need more.

SORCERESS
Staff, Dagger
