Frostgrave, crossing the bridge

-

 After blowing up the dimensional anchors, or in my case watching on the wrong side of the map while Zane and Thomas did it.

We had to race across a dimensional bridge to destroy the anchors in the universe of the Red King.

Richard and I ended up running for the same bridge.

Here is my warband. We now have Brother Michael the Apothecary and Lassie the Wardog that we found and recruited from other warbands that had been less fortunate than us. We got our illusionary warrior and a zombie. Both Richard and I can cast Banishment so after the first Wizard phases there were only a couple of Hrut left.
Her is Richards traveling circus.
Richards team starts pushing down the flank
We have an illusionary soldier fighting a Hrut while everyone moves up. The white line is a dimensional barrier that we can't cross.
A Hrut warrior takes some damage and appears next to the treasure.
Stilltrying to get rid of the Hrut. it ends up taking some more damage and bouncing right next to my Apprentice.
Richard leaps one of his bears right next to the central treasure and then runs his treasure hunter up and grabs the middle treasure
With all the Hrut blasted off the table we advance to the edge and wait for the dimensional barrier to get out of the way. $%*#$&#% double 6 blocking the way.

There is a tense moment where both warbands line up and walk over the bridge together, Richard gives me a set of robes of arrow turning he can't use. My Wizard now has a magic sword, magic robes, two staffs of power and a scroll. I don't think we suffered any casualties. Now we are deep in the realm of the Red King and its all bonkers.

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

 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...
