Unwelcome to the jungle

With the imperial army complete it was time for a game against my old skaven army. This July we will play a jungle campaign using the Lustria supplement, and this game would also be a testbed for the new rules that spice up battles in the jungle

true to their cowardly nature the skaven hide behind their slaves

While the rest of the army goes deep into the jungle

The imperials seized the first turn and let it rain on the ratmen, cannonballs, mortar shells and musket shot slaughtering skaven in droves

Next, the steam tank and the knights charge ahead of the army, obliterating most of the rat ogres

Who only hold positions thanks to an uncommon display of ratty courage

The jungle is as dangerous ans the enemy gunline, and many a skaven falls prey to the native traps hidden under the bush

The ratmen are not outdone yet, and a block of spears launch a cowardly charge on the knight's flank

While the center a unit of rats adopt open order and march through the rainforest

Up to then things have gone well for the Altdorf expedition, but then a ghastly native totem springs from the jungle floor

Starting a panic wave that sweeps several units

The harquebusiers, a great cannon and even Yennefer rout from the field

A hard blow for the imperial general, who turns on an enemy engineer cutting him in half with the magic sword of might

And while some of his knights fall, he stands defiantly his ground against the sea of ratmen

Giving the steam tank enough time to come to the rescue routing the moulder creatures and blasting the enemy general with 25 hit of its volley gun

All in all an auspicious start for the Altdorf army, with the imperials winning by 745 to 250 on a landslide of a game
