[WM] Ogres versus Myrmidons
« on: July 18, 2015, 06:28:56 AM »
Friday night glass of wine & WM.  Ogres versus the new Myrmidons (Chaos stats).  Pics of latter in Modelling & Painting.  Ogres had a bad first half but then Achilles annoyed the Gods, had command roll nightmares, and let them back into the game.  But a single Hoplite unit (returning to anywhere on table edge) went after some soft Gnoblar targets and ended it.  Good first outing for the Myrmidons.

Thanks.  I hope that next time Achilles is back in favour with the dice-rolling Gods.

Calling the army as Myrmidons and based on Chaos armylist, I only miss some troyan war-likec hariots units in the army  :D

I went with the Centaurs as Marauder cavalry simply because I had some Eureka minis going spare from my current Beastman project.  But thanks for the idea of chariots.  If I expand this army I may use it.
