Age of Warlords Official

Lovely cavalry force! I'm tempted to get some Napoleonics in 10mm.

Thank you, I bought it that day in fact, during the Battle of Evesham reenactment. It was a blistering hot day, so it kept me cool, and kept my head well protected from swords and arrows from those cheeky baron soldiers 😁

It's fun nonsense to read, though. Just read your review on the Wuttemburg army, I really need to check out Piano wargames 😁

My favourite hat 😁

Looking good! 😍 The red uniformed ones in the middle, what are they, if you don't mind me asking?

Had a good look at your website, amazing stuff! General De Brigade looks to be my fave. Skirmish games like Sharp Practice are cool, but you just can't beat the sight of whole armies on the table 😍

I really don't mind simpler, if it means I can get more minis in battle, all the better. And yeah, they look great. I'll have to get some and compare Victrix too

As someone who bought a box of Duchy of Warsaw line infantry, I'm very impressed with them. Look forward to seeing your review.

Also, the rest of your collection is top notch.

Yeah that's what I thought, they fought side by side at Borodino, as I've read, along with other German states. The Bavarians lost an entire cavalry force at the Great Redoubt.

Think I'll add a few other German states to the army too.

😂 I knew wargaming was an old hobby, but wow! Now I wanna see your Punic Wars collection of a thousand models, cause holy hell. You can't mention and not show it all 😁

Amazing, I didn't know another company did 28 hard plastic Bavarians. Thank you 😁 I was gonna get some Front Rank for my Portuguese, mainly command figures.

They are beautifully painted, all of them are. And 600, wow, the largest army I have is normans, about 300 or so; rookie numbers 😂

Amazing! The infantry the Victrix kit?

Thank you kindly. I can see British and Austrian flags, what other armies are there in this beautiful collection?

There you go.

Would love to see some Napoleonic armies, pretty please? For inspiration!

I have a kit of Bavarians from Victrix and a box of Duchy of Warsaw from Perry's. Normally I'd play them as two separate armies, but I decided to combine them into a single, french allied army.

My own chaos marine force was a renegade force, kinda stopped cause the new chaos minis looked too chaos-y. With these, they'll be making a comeback 😁

I can no way justify buying this, other than the fact it was 'simply there' 🤣

Just a rough draft of a new game I'm working on. Been in my head for ages, wanted to get it on paper. Next is to get it on Word.

Where did you get the Ogres from?

Two strips of french Napoleonic infantry, one of 20 men with their smart uniforms on display, the other strip of 20 all wearing great coats to keep their uniforms clean. Beside them is a regimental commander, to lead the force into battle.

First painted minis of 2026! Napoleonic French for Black Powder. I'm pleased with them, but the colour of the blue uniforms could be a bit lighter, I think. Still, that's something to consider for the next sprue (three more to start).

What was everyone's tabletop Christmas goodies last year? Just got mine from some vouchers my mum gave me (best present ever.)

Nice, I was looking at WW1 naval gaming, would love some heavy dreadnought action.

Is Blucher any good? I got Eagles to Glory for my 2mm Napoleonics, like looking at others, lol.

Ooo, that's quite ambitious, I hope you pull it off! 😁 I painted cavalry for the first time this year, I actually thought it was easier than I expected.

Ooo, yes, saw there was new Maggotkin coming. Thinking of getting the Ossiarch Bonereaper new spearhead so I can have some big monster units for my army.

What's everyone's hobby goals for 2026?

Mine is to carry on working on the full version of Age of Warlords, and start work on the Horse and Musket version, as well as the small scale rulesets. Start getting more Napoleonic miniatures, in Warlords Epic Scale, and 1/72 scale.

That looks great! Honestly, don't need great looking terrain for a fun time.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful day, and get many new exciting toys 😁🎄

The Combat Phase was a pretty bloody affair for the largest unit on both sides, the light spear infantry. The Normans struck first, felling more of the Roman infantry, leaving them down to just 6. The Romans did better, killing way more of the Normans, leaving the unit to just 5 left. The Morale Phase will decide who emerges from this clash victorious.

In this combat, the Romans performed worse. Despite being heavier infantry than their adversaries, they lost more men to the blows of the Norman swords, and were forced to give ground. But they would still hold the line, for now.

The Cavalry charge in the previous Charge Phase (missed, I know, but these were the main charges of the turn), rammed into the two heavy axemen. And despite landing a few blows on the horsemen, it wasn't enough to kill them. While they in turn are hacked to death by Roman spears. After wiping out the most expensive unit of the Norman host, the cavalry reorganized and prepared to face the two infantry units advancing upon them.

The far right of the Roman line saw a blood bath. The heavy cavalry performed poorly against the lighter sword infantry, who managed to kill 3 of the 6 members of their unit. But the Romans also brought their attackers down to half strength, too, meaning both sides would have to take a morale check in the next phase.

Turn 4: Combat Phase

If the previous turn hadn't sealed the Normans' fate in this battle, this turn certainly did. Combat, while not entirely one sided, pretty much ended any question of the Romans' Victory. It was just a question of how much.

The Norman Shooting Phase can be glossed over as they failed to kill anything this turn. The Romans, however, had fortune on their side. The horse archers went first, targeting the medium armoured spear unit that was moving to the right. But a poor dice roll meant that only one norman was felled. Then it was the unit of foot archers. Thanks to some rerolls, every model scored a hit, and every single roll to kill was successful too. The unit of 10 armoured normans went down to just 1. Brutal...

On the left side of the Roman line, the archers tried to finish off the heavy axemen, but were unsuccessful. But it was okay, for the cavalry were given the order to finally get stuck in.

Turn 4: Shooting Phase

The luck of the Normans went from bad to worse. The Normans performed terribly in shooting, with no hits, while the Romans' were brutally effective. Things were looking grim for the Normans now...
