Kill Team - Genestealers - Hungry for more

-

You know what its like after eating an Aeldari, 30 minutes later you feel like something more.

After a spot of lunch I had a game with Alex and his Novitiates.  We had both played on Octavius terrain in the morning so we a game in the basement of the fortress-scholam the Novitiates call home. 

Here are the Genestealers on the right, we rolled up loot so there would need to be lots of models sitting on objectives pushing buttons. I chose Seek and Destroy, with Eliminate Guards and Rob and Ransack and Rout.
Here the other side of the deployment. The room on the left is interesting, there are no objectives in the room so unless you want to rush across a killing ground there is little or no need to go into that room. I was happy to have that room as no mans land and sit there and push buttons,
Here are a buch of Novitiates on one side, including one with a flamer.
Here is the main group with the head mistress, detention teacher and students. It looks like they are making their main push into the room in-front of them.
The action in this room is swift and Brutal, The Novitates open their door in preparation for an assault with their chainsword wielding penitent. The stealers opened the door, then moved in. I was going to squirt the crossbow chick with ACID. This would allow me to splash all the others. The Novitiates used their faith to blind me with the light of the Emperor. So I targeted the leader instead. My outstanding hit roll was matched by an equally good save roll to the Cannoness was still alive. The crossbow sniper also got splashed for three wounds. I then moved the second stealer in who speared the leader with its flesh hooks.
The novitiates made a move into the room in the middle, so I opened the door and then charged the flamer taking cover behind the barricade. The fight was short and sharp and the Novitiate fell.
Two Genestealers die before the third rips the chainsword wielder to bits

These two Stealers have cleaned out the Novitiate forces on this side, both had taken damage from exploding novitiates and sharpened pencils. We robbed the last one of her notebook. We could hide out and loot the last objectives in the final turn.

This corridor in the middle had been peaceful with one of my stealer cillin behind a barricade and beeping the button.
One of my stealers made it down the central corridor and got to eat one a mace wielding Novitate, who could have been their cook. Their return swing caused me some damage but then the second claw finished her off. This was the only time I managed to trap one of the novitiates near the objectives.

That gave me a win to finish off the day.

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
