1000 points of Nurgle

It will soon be November, and with it comes the Warhammer Doubles tournament, or Battle Brothers as it is now called. This year myself and Klepto are returning to see if we can improve on last years 2 wins and 3 losses.

Last year we took Ogres and Savage Orcs, this year its Daemons and Warriors of Chaos, with a Nurgle flavour throughout.

Here is my completed 1000 points, Herald on a Palanquin, 30 Plaguebearers, 3 Plague Flies and 2 Beasts of Nurgle.

Battlegroup Kursk Campaign Game First Charge at Hill 252.2


After much procrastination Lordy and I finally got round to starting the campaign in the BGK book.  We are playing the historical scenarios with the forces provided.  The aim was to play fully painted but in the end Lordy had to borrow some T34’s that were just built.  The Germans were fully painted.  Smug

We set up an 8x6 table and played over two weeks but even so we failed to reach the break point of either army and were unable to leave the table set up for a third week.  We had a great game although turn 2 for the Germans was awful but they were given a reprieve when the Soviet turn 3 was nearly as bad.  The final turn for the Germans saw 6 x T34's destroyed another pinned along with the soviet Senior commander.  I have put some captions on the photographs below. 




 

The Germans are deployed around the barn near the T junction – objective 1 with a platoon and 2 Pak40’s dug in.  The other platoon and Pak40 are deployed in the farm in the centre objective 2.  Hill 252.2, objective 3, is outside the German deployment zone but Tiger 313 is at the base ready to advance.  The remaining objective 4 is held by a Panzer IV G platoon and Tiger 311.  The Battlegroup commander and another platoon hold the centre ready to respond to the soviet attack.  5 T34’s are central ready to advance on the farm.
