Kill Team - learning game

-

 The Warlords got in a night of gaming on the 23rd. Aiden had organised the 40k event, so I introduced him to Kill team.

We played Angles of Death vs Legionaries according to the meta chasers that's two power factions. I'm not sure whether a meta chaser is like an ambulance chaser but just more.

I was still fresh from using Death Guard, so I took an all Nurgle marked team. I had an Aspiring Champion with bolt pistol and power sword. A heavy gunner with Missile launcher, a Gunner with Melta gun, an Icon Bearer with Bolt gun, a Balefire Acolyte and a Butcher. 
The Balefire Acolyte climbed up and Soul Drained one of the Howling Griffons. They had, Intercessor sergeant with plasma pistol, the Eliminator Sniper, intercessor gunner, assault intercessor grenadier and a couple of intercessors. The Acolyte took damage from the return fire. The gunner and champion are waiting behind the door for it to be an objective scoring turn.
On the other flank the intercessor sergeant, grenadier, and an intercessor face off against the icon bearer, butcher and melta gunner.
The butcher is leading the advance, covered by the meltagunner and the icon bearer.
The assault intercessor bravely threw himself onto the butchers cleaver. (building removed for clarity)
The Icon Bearer moved up and infected the objective.
The missile launcher climbed to the roof and zapped one of the marines down to wounded, The marine then moved up to boop the button but got charged and killed by the aspiring champion, who then infected the objective for Nurgle and revealed Overrun (scoring 2 points) The Balefire had done some more soul draining and then hopped down to avoid getting sniped 
The Champion charged and killed the intercesor gunner and hung around long enough to get the second point for Overrun. The Balefire and gunner offer their support
The Metagunner had zapped one of the marines down to one wound, he then got charged by the sergeant and managed to damage him and survive to require a second round of attacks. The sergeant was then finished off by the Icon Bearer, the intercessor got zapped by a krak missile.

The Eliminator sniper managed to down the champion with his pack up pistol. He then got soul drained by the Acolyte.

In the end the legionaries managed to take this section of rubble (no doubt of strategic significance to someone) and sprinkle the blessing of Nurgle into the otherwise barren earth.

Loads of fun and some great cinematic moments. The Indomitable ability is great. It's also really difficult to one shot 14 wound marines.

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

Kill Team - Genestealers above ground.

I got in against Ben and his Star Striders, The Genestealers had made a lair in some old ruins. The Starstrider crew needed to cross this dangerous area so they could recover a valuable relic. Here are the Genestealers lying in wait for any that enter their territory. I placed once stealer in the open because I knew I could Salk it into cover and threaten the mid board. The Star Strider's motion trackers started going off, but they could not lock down the locations of the Genestealers while they were hiding in the ruins. The Genestealers are scuttling forwards. The Genestealers have flanked around their short side and seized control of the objective point between the Star Striders and their relic One the other side the board the Star Striders are advancing. One of the armsmen got close enough to get an accurate fix on one of the genestealers. This enabled their ship to get the coordinates and a beam strike lanced down out of the heavens. However the lightning reflexes of the Genest

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.
