Playing my first game of The Old World at Beerhammer at Little Thistle

My Warhammer Orc 5883 point 2nd/3rd edition army that I pulled out of the loft after buying the latest rules. All painted in the 80's and early 90's.

A 2000 point army using the new rules. Ugezod's Mother Crushers are still there along with Harboth's boys but without all my heavy artillery I'm not sure how effective this little lot will be.

Overview

Fight for dominance and overcome your opponents in this tight battle game with a dark fantasy setting. Discover a bleak, war-torn world where noble knights, undead hordes, and other fantastical factions fight for power, glory, and survival. In a time of growing darkness, great armies and nameless horrors plague the lands. Heroes and monsters fight, and the horizon threatens storm... Battles in Warhammer: The Old World take place between orderly armies of troops regimented on square bases, each determined to flank, crush and overwhelm the opponent. A good general goes to war with a mix of infantry and cavalry, supported by savage monsters and powerful war machines. Choose carefully. Spells in Warhammer: The Old World are powered by the capricious winds of magic, both helping and hindering sorcerers.
