2/09/2025 Warhammer: The Old World Battle Report!
Setup: 2000 point game of Warhammer: The Old World using the Open Battle scenario. Armies were Chaos Daemons of Nurgle played by Ryan Voelkel and Dwarfen Mountain Holds played by Simon Jones
Battle Report/Summary: The first turn went to the Nurgle Daemons. A unit of Dwarf Rangers had been deployed as scouts behind their line, so they redirected the Plague Drones to engage the threat. The Rangers held their ground and would eventually destroy the entire unit of Plague Drones with a few casualties on their side. The Soul Grinder of Nurgle attempted a few times to use its Warp Gaze at long range but was unable to cause any real damage. Dwarfen cannons, an Organ Gun and some other dwarfen guns tore through an entire unit of Plaguebearers, also killing two Heralds of Nurgle (ouch!). A Beast of Nurgle got through to the Bugman’s Cart and defeated it, running it down as it fled and devouring the pony. After that it would continue its attack on the Anvil of Doom but would be unable to defeat it. A couple units of Nurglings tied up some dwarf units for a few rounds but were defeated by the end of the battle. In the last couple turns the Great Unclean One, Blugoth Vilepox, went back and forth with a hefty unit of Dwarfen Warriors, causing many wounds but was finally defeated as it was also being flanked. The Soul Grinder of Nurgle took its final wound as well from dwarfen gunfire and also was destroyed. The battle resulted in a clear and crushing victory for the dwarfs!
