Game 164 - Ratkin - 2026/10/27

Hello!

 

It has been a very long time since I had my last game of Kings of War. I was thus very excited when Yan accepted my offer to play over Universal Battle 2. It was to be my very first game of 4th edition as well!

 

It meant I needed to update my army for the new edition. I used the composition rules that are going be used for Australian Clash of Kings 2027. 2300 points to spend and no more than two battalions. Fortunately, it did not require much re-thinking, although I restricted myself to the models I could use in real life. 

 

This is what I came up with for our upcoming game:

Outcasts - Army List

1st Battalion

Heroes 

Army Standard Bearer (AS), Champion Hero (Inf), The Boomstick - 130
Mage (M), Champion Hero (Inf), Inspiring Talisman, Lightning Bolt (5), Bane Chant (2) - 160

Game 3 - Warriors of Chaos - 2026/10/11

 

Greetings!

Fortunately, this time I didn't wait a year or two for my next game. We managed to organize another rematch. Both of us made changes. My army list did not change that much, but there were quite a few new elements I wanted to try out. My opponent's force, however, was yet another flavour of Chaos, showing how many potential options this army offers.   

As in the previous game, we played over Universal Battle 2 and we used Square Based composition rules. Which meant that I had 2,400 points to spend while my opponent had 2,200.

Game 2 - Warriors of Chaos - 2026/08/23

Greetings!

It's been more than two years since my first and only battle of Warhammer the Old World. The system has evolved in the meantime, with a steady stream of supplements and updates. There have been quite a few moments when I thought I can finally make it happen to play again, but life has always had different plans.

Fortunately, my amazing friend Jimmy had a very convincing argument that helped me enormously in organizing things at last and play my second ever game of Warhammer the Old World.

Beautiful Dragon from Highland Miniatures.

 

Jimmy has mastered the art of 3d printing and surprised me with a wonderful gift in the form of a great looking High Elf Lord on Dragon (design by Highland Miniatures). What is more, he has supplied me with an airbrush, compressor and all accessories needed to start and paint this wonderful model. The photos show the results of my first ever attempts at airbrushing. I must say I really love the experience. The smooth effect and very neat layers of paint is something I have never been able to achieve with brushes. It also comes in very handy when painting large models.

Thanks to Jimmy I hope to get back to hobby, both in terms of painting and playing!

It was also quite a good timing because my brother needed a sparring partner before his local tournament as he felt quite rusty as well. As always, we played our game over Universal Battle 2 online platform.  

The tournament used Squared Based Comp rules, which meant I had 2,400 points to spend on my High Elves, while my brother had 2,200 to build his Warriors of Chaos army.
