After Action Report: The Crusade into Mousillon!
I started this blog to keep track of this project, which a lot of you might not realise, as I only started getting notes on this thing when I started doing Warhammer 40K projects. That’s alright; 40K has been more popular than its older cousin for many, many years now.
It’s a bit of a shame that I’ve put this project to one side for so long, though, as I’m fairly proud of it. Learned a lot, painting it, and the overall effect on the table is quite good. Still need to do all the transfers of coats of arms and the banners, but that’s okay.
Anyway, a few weeks ago, I managed to take the Crusade out for a game! For pretty much the first time ever! I think they (unpainted) had a game back in the dying days of the hobby, around WFB 7th edition, and I played a few skirmishes against @idisimages in order to learn the Kings of War rules, but that’s been it for years.
The local KoW scene is quite strong, and a passing comment in the Oldhammer group on facebook led a local chap to offering me a game. As you can see, he took some gribbly undead to face down my noble chevaliers.
I haven’t really been feeling the blogging mojo for the past little while (as you’ve been able to tell), and so I’m not really up for a blow-by-blow of the game. The short version is this: Kings of War is a game of movement, and I’m quite rusty at that. Mr Undead was a gentleman and a sport, though. He offered loads of tips and advice.
I tried a few luring tactics with Knights Errant (Villein Initiates) to bring his units closer to my hammer units (especially the Questing Knights (Order of the Abyssal Hunt) units. The luring part worked...
But the hammer part was sadly lacking. Rubber lance syndrome! The bane of my old Empire army!
Still, it was a cracker of a game, lots of units bouncing around all over the place. In the end, it was actually a draw on objectives (thanks to my opponent telling me where to move some knights to hold two of them!), but he definitely had the edge on kill points, so I’d call it a win for him and a loss for me.
I don’t think he has a blog or an Instagram, which is a shame - his photos came out a lot better than mine, which are frustratingly more blurred even than usual.
I hope to have more games in the future. I’ve toyed with the idea of playing at the CanCon tournament in January, but I don’t think I’m really in a place where I want to take these guys there. Transporting them is extremely anxiety-inducing!
Anyway, from here on in, it’s photo spam. Hopefully you guys can follow the flow of battle without any more input from me.
If you get lost: the blue-and-white chaps, of whom there are fewer and fewer? Those are the knights of Bretonnia. Dying.

In twilight hours, the silent wights approach the ancient tomb...
Gripping Beast, Welsh 4 point Warband (minus half the Warriors, which for some reason I never took a photo of). I’ve intentionally gone for a much stronger colour scheme than the vikings, mostly so you can tell the two groups apart.
