Symptoms of Ferric Blight

-
I had a second game with the Death Guard on Saturday, the was against Carson's Necrons. This was in the same derelict warehouse as last time. This time the Genestealer cult had left and the Necrons had arrived. I changed some models from my list, I replaced the gunners with blight launcher with two with plasma gunners.
Both sides chose take forward positions and the Death Guard won the roll off so got to advance a couple of models.

The combat specialist and a pox walker stomped forwards leading the advance.

The Necrons won the initiative and began charging the front lines of the Death Guard with their flayed ones.

Crucially Carson used a reroll on a failed charge and then spent another on more bullets in the shooting phase.

 The Flayed ones charged the combat specialist and the pox walker with the shooting Necrons moving up and readying.

The Death Guard zealot charged in while the shooters readied and advanced.

The shooting was better than last game with the plasma gunner blasting the flayed on that failed its charge into scrap.

In the combat phase the deathguard sprang their trap and the combat specialist made a decisive strike on the two flayed ones in combat with him, taking them both out of action.

The combat specialist then tried to charge the immortal with gaus blaster and got zapped in overwatch and taken out of action.

The Zealot charged into combat with the Necron Warrior and the Champion charged the Flayed One in combat with the pox walker.


 The shooting is ineffective with maybe a fleshwound being exchanged.
The Zealot smashed the warrior into scrap and then advanced on the Immortal with Gaus Flayer
The Necrons ducked back so the Zealot charged the Immortal with Gaus Blaster and again took a a wound from overwatch, this time only a flesh wound.

The Plama gunner fell back to secure one of the objectives.

The Necrons shoot and take out the plasma gunner on the upper story.
The Champion and pox walker are scratching the Immortal but are unable to to penetrate its armour.

The Zealot hacked down the Immortal with his Bubotic Axe.
The Necron leader climbed through a hole in the wall for a better shot and got charged by the Zealot.
 The Bubotic Axe claimed another victim.
The Necron Morale collapsed and the game ended.

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 t...
