Stargrave - start of the campaign

-

 On Saturday we started our Stargrave campaign. Alan, Richard, James and I played a couple of 2 player games. I am using my Star Wars list.

Lord Vader is leading a team in search of clues about the locations of possible force sensitives or Jedi that escaped Order 66. 


Richard and I were playing the "Botched Deal" Scenario. Some Weequay pirates have set up a temporary camp and are selling some information and other goods they have pirated away from previous owners who could not look after them properly.
The empire force close on the pirates, we have laid down a smoke grenade to minimise the return fire. Richard and I both rolled so low for initiative we woke up some additional pirates.
The Weequay are guarding their loot and trying to work out who is attacking them. Richards corporate team are approaching from the top of the picture.

Darth Vader has made it the first treasure and unlocks it with his lightsaber. Greedo is engaging the Weequay hoping they have some bounty on them. The rest of the team are retrieving the other objective.
Darth is doing a good job looking dramatic with his cloak swirling in the smoke. Triple 0 has made off with a box off goodies and Lord Commander Sorin has downloaded the latest stock exchange information. Richard's Robo dog has been sent over to sit on the middle objective so I can't just nick it while Richard is dealing with the Weequays.
I think Richard has dealt with his share of the Weequay and is moving back with one treasure on the right and about to secure one on the left.
Darth Vader has managed to retrieve the central treasure and is breaking for the edge of the table. Boba, the commando droid and Greedo have dealt with the Weequay. Richard has laid down a Holographic wall and is withdrawing in the opposite direction.
Lord Commander Sorin is exfiltrating to with the data loot, covered by the storm trooper and the commando droid.

We made it back to the dropship, we recovered two physical loot and one data loot. This turned out to be a grapple hook, some advanced picks and a secret. No body was injured and we got enough experience to get everyone up a level each.

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...
