Armageddon - Repelling the Goblin raiders

-
Here we have the band of brave adventurers. We have Harry the Hammer, Sir Luke the Lionheart, Croman the Barbarian, a Cleric, a Wizard and a Warlock.
We used D&D rolls to generate the stats of the characters and then used the characteristic modifiers to convert to Rangers of Shadow Deep style attributes. 

Here is the peaceful and sleepy village of Dunny on the Marsh
The Goblins have surrounded the village and are trying to herd everyone into the middle so they can collect their tribute. The Heroes or at least some of them are entering through the trees at the bottom.

Battle is soon joined with the Rat Goblin tribe and the heroes.
Sire Luke leads his lionhearts into the fight while most of the villagers flee from the goblins, Harry and Croman have fought their way through most of the nearest goblins.
More goblins arrive but find themselves enscorcelled with a magical sleep spell.
As the Heroes close in the last two surviving goblins flee cackling threats.


The Heroes have tracked the Goblins back their lair and. Harry leads his team into the guard room.

Sir Luke leads his retainers into an adjacent room via a secret door.
The heroes advance down the corridor and run into the Owlbear whis is kept by the Goblins as a secret weapon.
The Heroes defeat the Owlbear and break into the Goblin leader's quarters. The Goblin leader is a Bugbear.
The point about not attacking the villagers is hammered home in a fierce debate. Magic support takes out most of the leaders inner circle and the final bodyguard is hacked to bits.

In the confusion one of the goblins makes a break for it
Queue Benny Hill chase music, as the heroes set off in hot pursuit. But the agile goblin is faster than the heavily armoured heroes and makes his escape.

Luks set up the castle for the second scenario, he pulled down several walls to make a large auditorium space filled with all the members of the goblin tribe. Lukes Warlock then tosses a mini nuke into the room and blows most of the tribe to bits. We then mopped up.

These games were loads of fun and lots of people came to talk to use about our games and hobby.

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...

Stargrave game 2 - It's a bug hunt

-
Image
  George and I got in a second game of our Stargrave campaign. We used the dead or alive mission and generated the Brood Mother. I didn't think it made much sense for a group of human mercenaries to work for a creature that kept trying to get them to bathe in marinade. I replaced all the mercenaries with spiders using the creatures from Quadrant 37. We used the Transmat to beam down to the planet Spiridon This is a very hostile jungle planet teaming with all sorts of lethal predators. Receiving reports of unidentified aliens hiding in the Plane of Stones we set out through the jungle to find out what was going on.  Here is the Raknos nest, somewhat unexpected. In addition. the nearby volcano is showing signs of an imminent eruption. Here we have the crew deployed. We have a new Engineer, I think I forgot to deploy one of the team. I have changed the Dalek's weapon to a Rapid Fire. The Plane of Stones is one of the more comfortable areas because the rocks absorb heat during the...

Hobby Update - Age of Sigmar - Spearhead terrain

-
Image
I have been having fun painting my terrain for AOS spearhead. I got to use a range of my favourite techniques and some experiments. The terrain got painted with a selection of grey tones, dry brushed onto the undercoat. The wood is a coat of Gagrax sewer with some brown sand highlights. The metal is Vallejo Bronze. Then everything got a dark green-brown oil wash. This got wiped off most of the stonework, creating some more contrast in the shadows. This also tinted things a bit green I recently got a bottle of plage bearer flesh from Scott at Kapiti Hobbies. I ran a wash of this around the bottom of the pieces to strengthen the idea of moss or damp or slime corrupting the stone. For the warpstone elements I painted them flourescent yellow and then gave them a good coat of Karandras green contrast. This allows the yellow to show through at the thinnest points. Overall I'm quite pleased with how these items are turning out.
