Bretonnia vs Hordes of Chaos
There are many references to Halloween in the Old World. I immediately think of creatures mainly associated with Sylvania, such as vampires, skeletons, zombies and banshees, known in Bretonnia as Wailing Hags.

Therefore, the idea of ​​combining Halloween with WFB and fighting a battle with a special scenario, which I symbolically called Trick or Treat, was born in my head. Unfortunately, due to the lack of an opponent who has an army of Vampire Counts or at least Tomb Kings, I decided to ask for help my painting studio buddy who has the Hordes of Chaos under his command. Especially for this occasion, his army was commanded by a demon with the support as terrifying as the undead themselves.

Trick-or-Treat scenario rules

The fog slowly receded from the plains, revealing the landscape of the upcoming battle. Here and there you could have seen the leaves dancing in the wind, and from the distance, you might have heard the howling of wolves. Or maybe, they were not wolves? Human imagination can play tricks. Especially on a day like this, the Geheimnisnacht Eve (Night of Mystery) where the boundaries between living and dead are thin.

Bretonnians scouts were the first to see ghosts swirling down the battlefield. These restless souls who could not find peace in the afterlife carried objects that tempted people with a glow brighter than the purest gold. The sudden desire to acquire these amazing artifacts filled the hearts of Bretonnian knights. It turned out that not only their hearts. Followers of the Dark Gods did not waste time and immediately spurred their horses towards the ghosts. From that moment victory did not count. One thing that only matters was who claims more of these sinister artifacts.

Armies: Bretonnia vs Hordes of Chaos

Scenario details

There are 3 independent characters in this scenario: Mr. Jack, Mr. Spooky and Mr. Creepy Smile, who start the game in the centre of the table. When both players end their turns, each Halloween newcomer makes a 2D6 move in a random direction. After that, they scatter sweets on the battlefield:

• Mr Creepy Smile: 1 chocolate skeleton

• Mr. Spooky: 1 chocolate eye of Tzeentch (D6 + current turn => if 6 was rolled a big eye of Tzeentch appears)

• Mr Jack: D3 chocolate pumpkins

Sweets are thrown at D20" in a random direction.

Any treat that would be placed off the table, bounced back from the table’s edge on the battlefield, and is put in a distance equal to the remaining number of inches.

To gain the sweetmeats, a unit must end the movement on it. For the troops killed in battle, the winning troops automatically obtain hostile artifacts.

Independent characters are taken over at the end of the battle by the unit, which is closest to each of them.

Victory Conditions:

The player only receives points for acquired sweets! Each of them has its own specific value:

• small eyes of Tzeentch and pumpkins of the Bretonnian villager: 50 pts.

• Tzeentch's big eye: 100 pts.

• chocolate figurines of Mr. Jack, Spooky and Creepy Smile: 200 pts. (each)


Killed units, banners or captured quarters are not counted at all when evaluating victory points. Other rules do not change. Player units normally move, fire, cast spells, and fight as described in the main WFB 6th edition rules manual. Additionally, we used our studio home rules.

This game was supposed to be funny and different from the standard ones. And that’s what it was! Nobody said that warriors from the far North and daemons do not like sweets, and Bretonnian horses only eat carrots. The scenario was constructed to get as many chocolate treats as possible. The beginning did not promise to be good for Bretonnians. In the second opponent turn, the Grail Knights unit with the Battle Standard Bearer was attacked by Exalted Daemon and a Chaos Knights unit.

The first phase of the fight brought victory to Grail Knights, although one of them sacrificed his life in a challenge with the terrifying general of Chaos forces. This, in turn, gave strength to the servants of the Dark Gods, who killed 2 Champions of the Lady in the second phase of the fight! The Bretonnian defeat was hanging by a thread if not for the heavens. Pegasus Knights swooped from the skies and charged the daemon general on his right flank, which raised the falling morale and ultimately contributed to the Bretonnian victory in this fight. The Gods of Chaos, dissatisfied with the loss of their messenger, decided to punish him and send him back to the Realm of Chaos. Terrified of losing their demonic master, the unit of Chaos Knights chose to flee.

During this fight, my opponent did not idle and took some sweets from Mr. Jack and Mr. Spooky. A small flock of Furies using their mobility and long-range grabbed a total of 3 chocolate pumpkins, one big and one small eye of Tzeentch, thus collecting 300 victory points. In addition, Bloodletters of Khorne captured 2 pumpkins previously dropped by Mr. Spooky. At that time Bretonnian forces had only one delicacy in their possession. Meanwhile, on the left flank, Peasant Bowmen make an attempt to get two chocolate artifacts left on the battlefield by Mr. Creepy Smile.

Bretonnia was slowly catching up. Grail Knights rammed the Bloodletters unit under the hooves of their mounts, taking 2 pumpkins, worth 100 victory points in total. Pegasus Knights, who were ordered to charge Furies and take over all their sweets, was supposed to give me the final victory. Unfortunately, they disappointed me and did not carry out my command. Their blood chilled from the screams of dark creatures, and their hearts were filled with fear. Unable to attack, they wandered around, looking at the creatures receding with the prey.

Eventually, it turned out that Bretonnia scored 1050 points, leaving far behind the Hordes of Chaos (350 points) during the clash on the Night of Mystery.
