Mars : Code Aurora - Hungry Hungry Xenos

-

Alan and I tried out a second game of Mars Code Aurora, this time Alan used his Inquisition warband as Science, while I used my Gale Force 9 xenomorphs as the Hunger faction.

Here are my Sarissa Precision Scifi colony buildings on my FLG asteroid mat and some home made terrain.
Here are some scout Xenomorphs. The hunger faction get to redeploy up to 6 level 1 infantry, so I could put these anywhere and then reposition them when Alan had finished deploying.
Here are some Xenomorphs ready to go exploring
Here are some Xenos and the queen
Here we are about to infest the other side of the colony.
Here are the inquisition bad boys
The xenomorphs advance down the corridors. The queen is inside the buildings but the model doesn't fit
A Xenomorph is waiting inside the pod. The grey crates are what in inquisition is looking for. Maybe some valuable administratum paperwork.
Alan's death cultist ran around the corner and attacked a Xemomorph
Sweeps of its blades killed the xenomorph. I wonder how bare feet and Acid blood mix. 
I made a mistake here, I thought I had a lot of time to deal with this model but Alan brough up an officer who ordered the Death Cultist to attack again and that killed the second xenomorph. If I had used one of my activations, it was likely that the xeno would have killed the cultist.
One of Alan's warriors makes it into the room and kills the Xeno but gets splashed with acid and is now wounded. In the background Alan's sniper is fending off a stream of facehuggers and drones. In the background you can see Gorman offering enlistment pamphlets to the inquisition warband members.


Alan sent one of his offiers to kill a drone. The queen jumped up on the roof and got taken out by overwatch shots, A warrior xeno then raced over and killed the officer with one swipe of its claws and then dropped down out of sight. There are only a few xenomorphs left at this point and the inquisition is advancing with bounding overwatch so its hard to attack without getting shot to bits.
The inquisition advancing to try and get the drop on the Xeno.

The inquisition start falling back to the evacuation point.
Bishop had been wandering around investigating the alien ship and other architectural finds. Gorman had been trying to interest the Inquisition in joining the Colonial Marines. 
In the final turn the last Xenomorph was in combat with one of Alan's warriors, the inquisition warrior got to activate first and finished off the Alien and with that the Alien menace was over.

Alan had captured three of the 6 boxes and then rolled the number to complete his mission. He also completed his secondary mission of killing the Alien Queen. The Xenomorphs lost more of their points values so had their primary mission and failed to kill the inquisitor so didn't get their secondary either.

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...
