I like what you've done (campaign map and terrain).

Second day of the Eight Peaks campaign where the skaven make a sound appearance.

As always, two battles in the tunnels below the surface.

Looks like a Rat Ogre battering ram.

This is a great idea, and just the sort of thing I would like to do. My two favourite opponents for wargames have Goblins and Skaven forces, and I am slowly working on some Dwarfs. I may steal your ideas!

The campaign goes on.

I met with the dwarf player and went trough the winter season of the mighty empires rules. First we moved our troops back to our lines, then I cast a spell on one of his territories that won't produce sustenance next year, he rolled a pretty nasty even that robbed the skaven player and myself of one territory's revenue, finally he didn't choose to buy any agents/fortresses while I bought two assassins and one agent. Hence he got 1400pts that he'll spend on troops reaching roughly 2900 before the battle season, but since his king Belegar wasn't protected by an agent my assassin killed him and 70pts of attached troops, He needs a new commander and soon! I got 1400pts to spend in toops too after the 300spent on agents. Someday we'll play out the season with the skaven player, he's got an assassin already heading  for his general, Queek Headtaker!

Played out today the skaven winter

Three new regiments of rat ogres were enlisted, two of 6 and one of 4, his assassin was detected by my agent and mine dodged his agent with a 1 but failed to kill Queek, instead he slaughtered 8 out of 10 stormvermin from his bodyguard.

Thanks, forgot to mention that the dwarfs and skaven'll recruit less points due to goblin raids (random event), that Skarsnik and his underhand tricks...

Skaven and O&G battle it out in the Bone Caves- I got enough of the rat ogres last year so I deployed a giant.

I'm axing the campaign since the players don't show any interest and the Orcs & Goblins have more points. The problem with Mighty Empires is that when a player starts amassing more territories he starts recruiting more and more points and can outnumber his opponents in every game so he can't be defeated.

Victory to Skarsnik since his army has got the most territories.

Sorry to hear, but good to see you got quite a few games in - something that doesn't happen in every campaign.
