The Daleks invasion of Stargrave

I got some models from Black Tree Design, these seemed to get lost in the Time Vortex, but really it was USPS.

I now have a painted Dalek team for Stargrave. My Daleks are armoured troopers supported by Robomen and slave workers pulled from the mines.

I also have scratch built a Dalek Saucer with landing legs and a ramp.

In their first mission they are engaged in a war with another Terry Nation creation, Servalan and her Federation security team. 

The Planet is dark and covered in jagged crystals. These explode at the worst possible moment. The darkness will make shooting harder. So we have two bad guy teams neither renown for their accuracy trying to shoot each other in the dark.

Servelans, security team consisted of an Armoured Trooper, 2 Burners, 2 Troopers, 2 Recruits, a Pathfinder and a wardog.

Turn 1

The Pathfinder shoots the mine worker, the Federation recruit shoots another mine worker. Both mine workers are stunned and wounded.

The Lieutenant enhances the targeting on the Dalek trooper and led another group forwards. Everyone else ran forwards.

The Crystals ignited and zapped a recruit but he dodged out of the way.

Turn 2

The Burner bot hits a mine worker leaving him stunned and wounded, the pathfinder misses a follow up shot.

The mine workers come under fire from a number of sources they then charge the burner rather than try and win a shooting fight.

The Dalek trooper shoots the armoured trooper and does 11 damage to the huge robot.

The Dalek trooper bounces a shot off the armoured trooper.

The Special Weapon Dalek hits Servalan for 2 points of damage so she is now wounded and stranded in the middle of the battlefield.

After the game The Daleks have 205 experience and 650 credits in their hold.

This allows the team to recruit 2 more Daleks and 2 more Robomen Sentries.

Here is the new team, we kept the most successful mine worker and sent the others back.
