Against the easterlings

1248 TA a force of Gondor invades the easterling lands to put an end to their raids upon the lands of that southern kingdom.

 King of Gondor plus knights

 Vs easterlings and southrons

 Some foot gondorian troops too

 The darkness forces moved straight away against the knights, separated as they were from the rest

 Inevitable surrounding

 And butchery

 To the king!

 But too late

 Now Sauron's minions engaged the second force

And light conceded

My father disliked the rules as always so now I'm on the hunt for a new rulebook: dragon rampant and song of blades and heroes are the most likely candidates. If you know of others, feel free to post them in the comments.

Purging of Cthonia

 This time went over to Mark's place for the second battle of the campaign, I decided to attack the mines of the planet Cthonia.

First time making smoke with photoshop, hope you like it.

 Zone mortalis with new terrain: columns, machinery and stalagmites made with an amalgame of tablet tubes, food containers, sand, insulation board and plastic sheet for the bases. The containers were lent by Oriol, painted in bright colours since he is a nostalgic of citadel's red age.

 I brought my trusty Blood Angels divided in two, inferno mortitat deployed and termies in reserve

 Baptism of fire for my Sons of Horus, another unit of vets was in reserve

 Shiny!

 BaC cataphractii ready to defend their home...

 SoH got first turn and moved behind cover

 The mortitat used his phase walker to jump in front of the surprised termies only to kill just one. Really? so much hype  with the new rules and all for nothing

 Of course the termies minced him in the next turn, disappointing.

 My reserve came in, divided due to lack of space

 The round base is an automated gun for which we didn't have model (yet!)

 The termis made short work of their hated cousins

 While Licinius, equipped with the new perdition blade, killed an entire unit of vets on his own, impressive!

 The SoH delegatus was isolated by the terrain and swiftly killed, but not before taking one of his enemies with him first

 Licinius tried to repeat his exploit but was killed by the vets with sniper rule

 Argh! I can still win this

 My termies killed the gun servitor, wary of the vets now

 Last turn standoff, will the vets kill the last blood angels and secure a draw?

Nope, Loyalist victory altough one in extremis

With one planet returned to the imperial fold it was time to upgrade the campaign map, the Warmaster is gonna be furious about this!

Friedland 1807

 In this battle Napoleon has baited the russians of Bennigsen with Lannes's corps to make them cross the river and then fall upon them with overwhelming reinforcements

 The french move onwards their guns while the infantry awaits reinforcements

 Recieving the first reinforcements

 The mounted guns are charged and withdraw

 Ney's corps enters by the Sortlach wood

 And then Napoleon and his guard plus more infantry, the russians are now outnoumbered

 Cavalry clash in no man's land

 The french assault by the left and refuse the right

  

 French cavalry retreats with a bloody nose

 The russians haven't practically moved from the Friedland-Sortlach line

 French cannon bombards Friedland with canister

 While cuirassiers charge in the right

 The guns retreat to the other bank of the Alle

 Chasseurs caving in the russian lines

 In the cavalry clash...

 ... Mortrier is killed

 Poles charge the guns, wose crews'll hold miraculously for several turns

 Uvarov is killed in this fight

 The french lose their first (and only) unit near Friedland

 Finally!

 The russian guard stand alone against several foes

 Light cavalry at it again

 The french right now moves against the recently deployed russian guns

 Friedland under assault

 The guard, charged in the flank and front, routs

 The russian hussars are seemingly surrounded and destroyed

Followed by the weakened garrison of Friedland, at which point the russians concede. 

A massacre! just like in real life
