Spearhead - Slaves to Darkness

-

 Alan very kindly organised a Spearhead event on day 2 of the May 2-day meeting. So, 7 of us got together for 3 games of Spearhead.

I Played Nick and his Skaven. It was Nick's first game and my 4th. 





Here are the two armies deployed. The Chaos Warriors took the first turn.




The chariot and one unit of warriors charge across the table. The Chariot assassinates the Warplock engineer but is then ripped apart by the Rat Ogres. The Chaos Warriors slaughter innumerable clan rats but they keep coming back. The other Chaos Warriors and the Lord are holding the central objective. The Skaven skitter around the ruined wall.

The Clan Rats make a move to capture the central objective while the Warlord looks on from the preferred position of Skaven Leadership. They bounced pretty hard while the other Rats snuck onto the other side of the objective to try and drown it in Bodies.

The Rat Ogres had killed 4 chaos Warriors in their turn, so they Rallied and 3 of the 4 casualties got better. The Chaos Knights arrived and demolished the unit of Clan Rats.

After Dealing with one unit of Rats the Chaos Lord and Warriors went after the Rat Boss, This is the before

And After....

The Grey Seer decided that being surrounded by Chaos Warriors was not the optimum position to be, so led the surviving Rats in an attack on the Central objective.

The Chaos Lord and the Chaos Warriors pile into even more Clan Rats. It looks like a Chaos Warrior has fallen over again. I think he got Withered by the Grey Seer.

The Grey Seer finds itself in combat with the Chaos Lord and squirts the Musk of Fear. Surrounded by most of the Chaos Warriors the Rats don't last long.

So a Victory for Chaos, Huzzah!

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

  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.
