Frostgrave - what do you mean they are immune to magic?

-

After escaping from the Daemons, Ed Zane and I all met at a crossroads of sorts. This contained a Null zone and worse was the lair of some Nullmen. These creatures are completely immune to magic and all models that move into base contact lose the benefits of any magic items or enchantments. Fortunately the Nullman are not very powerful in natural combat.

A quick shot of my warband in their starting positions
Over there is Zane's goblin warband.
The anti-magic zone in the middle and the Nullmen (Null Dwarves really). Eds warband is on the far side of the table.
My Team start racing forwards to get to the treasure, Zane has put up a wall of fog to reduce the temptation to get into an archery contest.
We start to engage the Nullmen, they don't like arrows much nor a big sword to the head.
We do some more running forwards, the nearest nullman is starting to take damage from arrows.
We have all advanced to the choke point. Everyone is trying to hang onto some rubble to stopthemselves being pulled into the nullzone in the middle of the table
The Nullman attacks Eric who is busy trying to pick up a treasure.

Chevallier Des Guise, leads the charge and dispatches the Nullman, Eric picks up the treasure. Ed rolled up a Reality Cracks event where we were all dragged 6 inches toweards the center of the table, that's right where the nullzone is. Models touching the nullzone take damage
All the noice managed to wake up a Giant Worm. Robin managed to shoot it with an arrow and did most of the damage while the Knight and the templar finished it off.
Marion moves around to get the illusionary soldier and Isabel the thief then transposed them this got Isabel away from the claws of the panther. Much has picked up a treasure.


The Worm is dispatched and everyone is making a dash for the edge. Zane has laid down more fog that a London PeaSouper. So there is nothing to see on his half of the board. Talk about Goblins in the mist.
Marion, escorts Eric off the table Isabel also has a treasure and so does Much.

So two scenarios down and they will only get harder here. I got a grimoire of Strike Dead. Not really useful I would need to roll a 26 to cast it. I could use a scroll but then it gets resisted on a 14. So its something for a rainy day. I did find a magic bow so that's definitely useful.

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...
