Rangers of Shadowdeep - The Devil's Finger

-

The crew have tracked Baron DeBellem's cult back to an old tower, known colloquially as the Devil's Finger.

Robin led the sneak up to the tower and used the keys found at the river campsite to open the doors. 

The team opened the door to find the cultists torturing some of the Sheriff of Nottigham's soldiers
Robin fired an arrow taking our one of the cult soldiers, and then charged into the room, Will Scarlet then took down another and we were able to rescue one of the Sherriff's soldiers. Two others were too weak to be able to assist.
The team started up the stairs, you have only 4 turns to get into the next room or the defenders have time to prepare and the rooms get harder.
This room had some more cultists, this time the arrow and charge tactic didn't work, and the fighting was close and fierce.
The Cultists started falling but would they fall fast enough?
Will takes down the last archer and the crew arranged themselves on the stairs. Herne moved to secure some loot. While Friar Tuck investigated something else, probably to see if it was edible.
The final room looked like a store room, it was packed with robed cultists.
The fighting was starting to take its toll of the heroes, Herne was out of healing magic.

Eric of Wickham had a back and forth battle with one of the cultists but ended victorious. Robin felled a cultist and Will moved to engage the last one. 
The Survivors arrange themselves on the stairs. Fortunately, that's the end of the mission and everyone gets to heal 8 points before we enter the final room.

Will the heroes be able to save Marion?

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
