Carnevale - the Sermons of Dagon

-

I took my Church of Dagon crew out of a tour of the streets of Venice to spread the good word. The local guilders decided they didn't like the Church interfering with their protection rackets. So they sent out some armed thugs to oppose the will of Dagon

The congregation set forth over the causeway bridge.
Here are some of the guild traders and assassins.
The congregation sets forth. One of the less conventional members of the congregation waits in the water.
The action heats up quickly. The Dagonite priest cast blood rites on the Dagonite officiant. Alan then counter attacked by moving the Black Lamp near the priest on the roof. The Capodoccia then jumped over the roof and stabbed the priest to death. The Voice of Dagon then jumped onto the roof and then sucked the soul out of the Black Lamp off the roof one way and then threw the Capo off the roof to the rest of the congregation.
The Temple officiant also charged down the alleyway and attacked the shipwright. he was taken down to one wound.
Alan's flanking force is getting established. One of the Hybrids bounced over and pushed one of the guilders into the water. 
The Capo is stabbed to death by the officiant and the hybrid. The other officiant is bludgeoned to death with a huge hammer and an oar.
The fish monster is hiding under a bridge, some other skirmishing usually involving sharp pointy spears.
Alan's hunter gets thrown in the water and drowned a bit.
The Voice of Dagon, jumped over the roof and landed next to the black lamp the boat master and the Gondoleer. The Voice then soul drained the boat master. The Gondoleer then got thrown in the water. When the voice jumped after him he got stabbed in the back by Black Lamp. The then Gondoleer got a bit drowned.
The streets clear temporarily, the Voice dragged the Gondoleer into the water and finished him off. He is currently hiding under the bridge.
The Fish monster at the hunter after marinading him in the canal. The temple officiant is trying to drown the Arbalester. The Arbalester had just killed the fish monster by shooting it and then jumping off the roof and delivering the Peoples Elbow. Like most attacks off the top rope it did as much damage to the Arbalester as the fish monster.
The Arbalester and the Black Lamp managed to kill off the Slave and they were just out of reach of the Voice.
We both completed three agendas, mine involved drowning people and killing heroes.

So in the end Alan won with three survivors to two.

This was a great game with loads of cinematic moments. We also got to familiarise ourselves with the drowning rules :-)

Stargrave 40k - "we just got our asses kicked man"

-
Image
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.

Image
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...
