Battle of Bride’s Grout – KoW

Shamelessly looted from the Stourbridge and District Facebook Group:

Moon the Loon, new King of the Goblins of Crippledick Peak (previous incumbent “King” Turdspurt the Terrible has been demoted to a mere “Big Git” due to Citadel releasing a nice new model) and King Moorgun of Kustard Keep had formed an alliance of Goblinyness in order to have it out with Golfbhag’s Other Other Regiment of Mercenary Ogres and their ally Supreme High Marshal Iggz the Venerable of the Citadel of Grayskull – who apparently is a Dorf leader but all of his little mans appear to have conjunctivitis and spiky armour, almost as if they were Chaos Dwarves temporarily pretending to be “Good”. Steven kept stumbling over his words and accidentally calling them “Abysmal Dwarves”.

Also some Daemons of Chaos (sorry “Forces of the Abyss”) turned up to help out, and David Icke’s Lizard people arrived from the hollow moon but I suspect these hadn’t even been given names or in-depth backgrounds, and so the Gobliny chroniclers didn’t bother to record very much about them.

This was our group’s introduction to Kings of War 2. Ash had previously played one game, and I’d played a few games with Gary and Neil back in the 1st edition days. Three a side, 750 points per player. This was originally going to be a bigger bash but we lost one player to a freak decorating accident late doors. We didn’t use the Clash of Kings 2019 expansion as we only have one copy and that one was only acquired six days before the battle.

Photos are admittedly a bit “Goblin right flank” biased as ace Goblin lomographer Snappy McPapzface didn’t get out of his chair any more than was strictly necessary.
