After the last series of adventures Arzag headed south to warmer climes. He finds himself in the tribal kingdoms, unaccompanied by his previous companions he is on his own. Azalia went home to her father her desire for adventure and risk taking satisfied for now. Vildy went with her, their mutual attraction growing. Hesperina went her own way looking for somewhere she could add value. This adventure features my new outdoor battle board and scatter terrain Here is the cast for this adventure. A beautiful woman wearing a red dress surely, she could not be trouble?  Arzag arrives at a village to find a crowd surrounding a dead body. Everyone is shouting and wailing and jumping around. A local witch hunter wearing a crocodile skin and with a serpent wrapped around his arm is exhorting the crowd about vampires and the need to root out evil from amongst the village before the gods punish them further. Arzag has a look at the body but can’t see anything unusual though the crowd of p...

Hobby Update - Rusty Dagger the Southlands

Image
I decided that after the last adventure Arzag would leave town and head south. Vildy stayed behind to marry Azalia and the others were becoming a liability. To play the next adventure I made a new outdoor battle area and some scatter terrain.  I cut out the board from some extruded PVC Alan gave me. I marked out some areas to be swamp, added some broken cobbles and covered the rest in ground coffee. I marked the grid on so I would know where to put the cobbles to line up on a square. Here we are after an initial coat of paint After some initial coats of paint. The flock is from Huge Minis. It;s their moorland blend. I marked the grid back on with a fine Sharpe. I then applied a thinned coat of PVA water and isopropyl alcohol. The water pools got a coat of clear Modpodge gloss. I blew on them to create some ripples. After drying overnight the Modpodge is ready to go. I marked the cracks on the flagstones with the Sharpe. The ripples are slightly visible. Here we go with some scatter...

Kill Team - Shark Attack - Goremongers

I found myself in the final of the league. I was up against Alice and her Goremonger team with its 4-0-0 record. Pete mentioned he wanted a walk-through test game with Goremongers so we set up a dress rehearsal game using the same map and Crit Op. I thought this would be better than trying to play both sides myself. This was the map we used, I got the Red deployment zone. I deployed 2 operatives on the left, 3 in the middle and one on the right. The Right operative was a distraction carnifex and its objective was to try and make the Goremongers keep multiple operatives in that room to score points. I'm using the standard team of Assault Sergeant, Eliminator Sniper, Intercessor Gunner, Assault Grenadier and 2 Assault Intercessor warriors. There seemed minimal need to take long range guns when the fighting was going to be in 3 phone booths. Pete chose all the faction equipment. I dropped the Auspex for razor wire and a mine. Here is the set up after turn 1. Because the transmission m...

Rusty Dagger - Rescue from Stonelock

Image
  The crew are hanging out in the local Rusty Dagger tavern, trying to count their loot without being seen to count their loot. They are pushing their snack foods around the table into piles. Jill is looking pensive. Finally she speaks up “I’m not sure I want to go on any more adventures.” “Things are getting dangerous and I have my brother to think about.” “I’d like to take my share of the loot and cash out,    if that’s OK.” “That’s fine Jill, the life of an adventurer is not for everyone and you have family commitments.” So we give Jill 20 gold and she departs, happy. “With that much money I won’t be dancing in taverns any more I will own the tavern.” “Excellent! It will be nice to have somewhere to come back to after an adventure.” The remaining crew order another round of drinks. They are settling back with their drinks when a hooded stranger approaches. “I’m Vildy, I have a proposal for you.” “The Baron of Leeford has a problem and needs your h...
