Frostgrave - game three

-

Alan and I got together for another Frostgrave game on Saturday. We played the Orb scenario, which had the central treasure locked into some kind of booby-trapped case.
Here is half my Warband, this includes my new Apothecary, apprentice and Man at Arms
This is the other half of my warband, this includes the Wizard and my new shiny Assassin.
This is an overview of the board. There are 4 flying imps under the bridges
Make that three imps as my archer takes one down.
The apprentices team advance and one of the imps flaps over to attack us.
The Wizards team are moving forwards with the Assassin leading the way
Everyone moves up towards the treasure while the assassin looks it over.
The apprentice mind controls the imp and convinces it that it wants to join our happy band. We then send the Imp to hand out pamphlets over near the treasure.
The Apprentice and Wizard are moving to support their warband members and make up their minds about which treasure to try and grab.
Trouble under the bridge. This is my new terrain. it still needs some highlighting and snow effects added. Alan sent his infantryman around to menace my Assassin. My archer shot him down and my infantrymen rush up to try and look intimidating.
A complicated almost fight is going on. Alan's invisible thief is standing next to a treasure but can't pick it up. My models can't pick it up either. My imp had momentary doubts about joining the movement but another dose of mind control and he rejoined the team. 
My Wizard had a go at unlocking the central treasure. He made a good roll but still lost and got badly zapped by the Orb. I was wondering why I sent my Apothecary to help in a fight but now it seemed prophetic. My wizard is a Soothsayer after all.
Alan's Templar attacked my Assassin. Both fighters scored a critical hit and took each other out of action. Maybe my assassin got a bad case of new model syndrome. 
My archer moved down towards the center of the table while the two infantrymen worked on unlocking the treasure with their hammers.
My Two infantrymen look around blankly as Alan's invisible thief makes and escape with a treasure. 
The fight for the treasure got hot. Alan's thief unlocked the treasure and picked it up making her visible. My Man at arms with the help of the Imp takes out Alan's infantryman.
My Apothecary moves over and gives the wizard his healing potion, then they try and unlock the Orb the Wizard fails but the Apothecary unlocks it with a well-judged blow of his staff.
Alan's Thug has been trying to unlock the treasure for some time and finally figured it out.
The Wizard Apprentice and Apothecary all try and make it to safety. Both my Wizards are trying and failing to cast heal on each other.
My Man at Arms has finished beating up Alan's thief. Alan's Sword master comes over to collect the treasure but gets an axe in the face instead. 
The Apothecary makes it to safety behind a house ready to carry the Orb off the table.
Alan had also been dealing with a very annoying armoured Skeleton warrior. it took down Alan's thug. My Infantryman ran over a took a serious wound before smashing the Skeleton to bits.

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...
