Necromunda - Cawdors keep out

-

 I got in a second game in our Necromunda Campaign. In this game I was raiding Callum's Cawdor gang. They had been expanding into some tunnels and I thought that access to a network of secret tunnels would be very useful. Besides there were a lot of them and it would be good to try out some combat.


I had 7 models, I realised I was missing one after this picture. I had, the leader, both champions, two gangers and two Initiates. One of my initiates has a flamer, the other has a pistol and boning sword.
The Flamer initiate has infiltrated near a couple of unsuspecting Cawdor who are guarding one of the treasure crates.

Down at the other end of the table, Callum has set up a treasure crate in my deployment area. I return the favour by deploying right next to him.

The carnage begins with my champion activating along with a ganger and we pile in. One Cawdor is taken down with a slash from a whirling saw.
The Cawdor leader and a champion stood on top of the drill tower. The leaders main job was to shout "over there" to the champion who fired RPG rounds from a crossbow. My gangers are attacking some more Cawdor at the base of the tower.
My flamer initiate sneaks forwards and sets fire to a couple of Cawdor gangers. I didn't manage to wound them, but I did manage to set them both on fire. They spent the rest of the game racing around trying to put the fire out.

My ganger puts the Cawdor champion. Then the initiate moved in and did a bit of kill stealing by performing a coup de grais. In the background, my leader is finally getting his saw on. He took down two Cawdor in the same activation. 8 wounding hits and both of the Cawdor were out of action.
The campion cleans up the last Cawdor with a slash of his saw. My ganger tried to jump down on the Cawdor specialist who had fled combat, by falling off the edge of the platform. My Ganger jumped down afterwards and fell over as well.

At the end of the second turn we had taken out 6 Cawdors and another two were on fire. Callum's two survivors fled the field. None of Callum's gangers suffered catastrophic injuries, however several will be spending the next game in recovery. Not to worry there are plenty more desperate individuals looking for salvation. 

Loads of fun and next week a couple of other players are joining the campaign.

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...
