myself, empireaddict and two other fine gents partook in a wee spot of warmaster this afternoon at warhammer world, the sides were 2k of dark elves with 1k of slaanesh daemon allies, and 2k of empire with 1k of ogre mercenaries, the game ended with a narrow victory to the empire+ogres who were a single unit away from their own break point.... several blunders from the dark elf commanders saw the sorceress and a hero executed very early on in the game ::) we had the usual insane luck swinging back and forth througout the afternoon and it made for the most enjoyable game of warmaster I've played so far!
I took quite a few pictures, but had a bit too much fun to take them regularly or make notes so we'll have to make do with pics and captions...

the dark elves and daemons "tactically" withold the bulk of their forces

ogres occupy the ruined temple and prepare to be a massive thorn in the side of the dark elves....

....like constantly charging out, whacking a few dark riders off their horses, then withdrawing into the charge-proof terrain....

cold one knights circumvent the log jam in the middle, and look to outflank the empire lines, they promptly fail to charge >:(

the giant soaks up two volleys and 56 shots before finally succumbing!

Very nice ^_^

thanks! it is easily in my top 5 of any wargame I've ever played, still buzzing about it now, hours later....

Great looking game! Anyway you can share the army lists?

It was indeed a vintage game of WM. It went badly at the start for DE/Daemons but we then caught a lucky break with 2 Frenzy of Chaos spells in succession (1 dispelled) which helped to stabilise the situation on the left flank. But we were still playing catch-up throughout the rest of the game.
The 3 lists I drew up were as follows:
EMPIRE
General
2 Heroes
2 Wizards (1 with monstrous mount)
4 Halberdiers with Skirmishers
4 Bowmen
4 Knights
4 Pistoliers
2 Cannon
OGRES
1 Bruiser
1 Butcher
4 Bull Ogres
4 Gnoblars
1 Slave Giant
1 Rock Lobber
DAEMONS
Overlord as Cmd 9 Hero
Wizard
3 Hordes
4 Cavalry
1 Flyers
