Kings of Outland – Game 1 vs Undead

Kings of Outland was a small 1500pts Kings of War Tourney I recently played in. For my first game, I was up against the winner from the last tourney I played in.

Sons of Ursun

Varik´s aim was true, the arrow hit the chaos warrior square in the chest. To his dismay however, the arrow ricochet harmlessly off the heavily armored man, accomplishing only to draw the attention of the chaos warrior. The gruesome helmet turned towards Varik, and bellowing a guttural war-cry, the man started walking towards him. The […]

Kossars Regiment

These guys have been almost finished for a long time, having even seen battle already. Especially the banner was a victim of procrastination, taking me a week to work up the motivation to start 😛 In the end they turned out well though. The unit is mostly the original Kislev kossars, with some additions to break […]

Hunt for the artifact – Game 2 vs Undead, Push

My second round opponent had an amazing “Greenskin undead” army, with ork skeletons and mummies, goblin ghouls and troll werewolves. There were so many awesome conversions in his army, and a great and original theme. He got a well deserved (and extremely close) second place in “Best army”. His list was approximately: Vampire Lord on […]

Hunt for the artifact – Game 1 vs Abyssal Dwarfs, Control

I was scheduled to play against Varangur for my first game, but my opponent couldn´t make it on time, so I got to face off against Abyssal Dwarfs instead. The army looked great, including even older GW figures than my own, with the two chaos dwarf warrior units (Immortals or Blacksouls) consisting of 80s GW […]
