Hobby update - Robin of Shadowdeep.

-

Call to Arms is coming up at the end of August. I'm going to play Rangers of Shadowdeep. I'm adapting it slightly fit one of my favourite shows Robin of Sherwood. 

For my next set of missions, Lady Marion has been captured by Baron De Bellem (a secret devil worshiper) and he plans to sacrifice her for more earthly power. 

After encountering Friar Tuck Robin leads his band of merry men to Rescue the fair lady. I have to get across a river to arrive at the DaemonClaw tower and then race up three levels before the final climatic battle on the roof.

In the TV show Robin stabs the Baron with a magic arrow and he falls over dead.

I'm using my Crooked Dice figures for Robin and the Baron.







I have also been painting some Bulkhead doors. I think some of these came with the original Rogue Trader Kill Team box.

For this scenario the tower needs to have an outer parapet around the top room. So I added one for to tower I built a few years back for Frostgrave. This is made out of Balsawood ad coffee stirrer sticks.

This is the top of the tower after some more work. I painted the wood with a Resene test pot and then washed it with an oil wash made out of black and brown paints. It then got a drybrush of Vallejo Ghost Grey to help age it. Its OK if the planking is a bit dodgy. If you take damage on the Parapet you can fall off and be incapacitated.
This is the lower room. I added some more wooden planking details. I have since made the stairs narrower which makes each floor bigger.



Here we have the back of the top room, the interior walls have been drybrushed with different shades of Grey.


Here is the view of the Scrificial area. I need to add the firepit. I think I will leave off the roasting chicken that comes with it.
I built myself a pentagram out of matchsticks and then attached a Brother Vinni Victim. 

Here are the brave band of heroes. We're off to see the wizard and then stab him in the head.


Here is the cast of Villains (Boo, Hisss) and Marion in a much more martial pose.


Here are a couple of shots of what the start of the climatic battle at the top of the tower might look like.
The heroes are just about to burst in. (Actual results may vary)

Stargrave 40k - "we just got our asses kicked man"

-

Alan and I went up to the Bring and Buy day at the Kapiti Club in Paraparaumu. We took our Stargrave game. In this case we had followed our leads to an abandoned factory. However when we got there we realised that the factory was far less abandoned than we had hoped. As we approached we could hear the sounds of chanting and the smell of old blood. It certainly didn't sound like Slaaneshi cultists. Here is an overview of the factory mounds of overgrown rubble and broken machinery. At locations around the factory were groups of red robed figures crouched over bits of equipment. They appeared to be trying to unlock the access to an underground silo. Here is the new Inquisition strike team. We have two new commandos and a doctor along with a former heretic that had been reprogrammed into an assault gladiator. The cultists if thats what they are react with the skill and precision normally reserved for military units. Inquisitor Rathbourne smote a cultist with a Grenade launcher with a b

7TV Vlads Army - the climax - Battle at the Church

-
Image
 The Home Guard have raced back to their headquarters at the Church. (its the only place with a working phone). They have found the vicar and verger inside and have amassed a stock of supplies with which to make maguffins and other unique weapons of war. Just then a dark smokey cloud spreads over the graveyard and long dead hands start erupting from the ground. The Vampires have arrived, and this time they are led in person by Major Shreck. Can the Home Guard drive off the fiends of the night? Here is the church and its surrounding graveyard. (Seriously, who does that?) To the right is the church hall and at the bottom a couple of bomb-damaged houses. There is a war on. Here are the brave defenders taking their positions. The vicar briefly protested as his windows are broken to make firing ports. Alan won initiative for the first time in the campaign. Major Shrek raised the Iron Cross and the horde shambled forwards. Alan also got the effect that meant he could only move once per turn.

Battlefleet Gothic - game three - mining claim dispute

-
Image
For game three of the BFG campaign, my fleet was dispatched to a mining colony that was being plagued by Demiurge. These abhumans would harvest and refine all sorts of materials and energy sources before selling them to the highest bidder. They also tended to view enemy ships as a nice convenient package of refined materials. We ended up with a fleet engagement. This is my third engagement of this type. I ended up flanking the Demiurge, kind of a pincer movement if it goes well and a dagger to the heart if not.  One the left side the Battlebarge Reaper forms a battlegroup with the Eternal Vigilance. Here are the Demiurge, there is a battleship and three cruisers. These ships are highly automated, something the Adeptus Mechanicus finds to be an abomination.  This battlegroup is comprised of the Flaming Sword of Irrefutable Justice a new arrival in the sector in formation with the James T. Cook and the Marathon Triumphant. The Demiurge accelerate to engagement range some of the ships div
