TWD's Warmaster Revolution - Another Daemons v Empire game 03/02

[TWD]

Matt came over to give my freshly painted (but very old) Warmaster Daemons a run out.

He took the Empire and we played a basic "pitched battle"



The Empire took up defensive positions and attempted to flatten the Daemons on their "anvil"



However their hammer found the Chaos forces rather tough going.

Good stuff, always good to see Warmaster.

Empire’s strength is usually its shooting - especially against Demons or Chaos who are very light on shooting. Empire’s core troops are quite cheap, so they normally get a good block of infantry.

Yes - Matt was trying them for the first time and chose not to use cannon. We were also only playing 1500pts, so he could only have taken a single unit. I had a unit of ablative swarm which soaked up some shooting and his firepower on my left flank caused quite a bit of confusion and delay - but my sorcerer kept bring killed stands back. As a combined arms force Empire's a bit trickier to use in WM than some of the other forces.

Another game played - sadly my camera skillz let me down so there's not many pictures.

This time the Empire came with a plan and rapidly built themselves a defensive position of a hill.

Forgetting to deploy my Greater Daemon until half way through the game made for an even more uphill struggle!



Sadly the Empire cavalry caught my Hordes in the open.
