Battle for Xahutec

This friday it was the turn of the Empire to attack and I went for the chaos army in Xahutec

I had packed a lot of melee units to counter my last defeat in hand to hand combat, but the scenario rolled was a simple pitched battle

With no need to rush to the foe I deployed all my imperials on the table edge, placing the artillery on the steps of a lustrian pyramid

Then the gods of dice smiled on me as my first jungle peril opened a quicksand pit that swallowed an entire unit of chaos knights

Followed by one of the champion of Khorne

Losses that routed also the chaos hounds in front

Then came my shooting phase, in which I downed both  spawn of Khorne

The chaos player moved only a bit in his first turn, putting the furies on top of the temple

And throwing a nasty swarm against my guns

Taking this chance I concentrated fire against his exalted champion and one cannonball ripped his head right off with a magnificent shot

To add insult to injury the furies killed themselves charging the Reiksguard

And the chaos barbarians were swept away by a swordsmen detachment

Leaving just two units against the victorious imperial army

It was an easy victory, and the hordes of Chaos were evicted from Xahutec and fled to the remote temple city of Tlax

My witch hunters are finally done, a mix of aos, warhammer fantasy and Vae Victis models ready to chase down the heretics and mutants that infest the Empire

Witch hunters

A trio of witch hunters, including the mounted version of my captain ready to hit the road in search of witches and heretics

The captain on horse is a heavily converted Mordheim highwayman with his head replaced bybthe 8th ed witch hunter and the greatcoat bulked out with putty

Then we have Galen van Denst from aos, painted as C. L. Werner's iconic Mathias Thulmann

And the third and final model is none other than Hanniver Toll, another aos witch hunter renamed in honor of the author of the Malleus Maleficarum
