Hobby Update - Kill Teams

-

We have completed our Stargrave Quadrant 37 mini campaign. This was lots of fun. To continue the narrative, I split Inquisitor Rathbourne's team into two by promoting his Interrogator to full Inquisitor. So they both get new Lieutenants. The existing crew is split up. Some didn't like each other (Beaumont threw a Grenade at Willimas in one scenario).

Here is Inquisitor Rathbourn's crew. He has gotten a new coat. Chef Rybeck has been rebuilt as a servitor Gunner. We have Bob and Kate our drones,
Inquisitor Thatcher has a new crew including some of the old crew (Beaumont, Graeme and Dr Needles) and some that look like previous models.
I bought some 3D printed Corrupted Guard. These took quite a while to arrive from France.
I am making an Intercessor kill team out of some models I had. These are Sons of Medusa.
These are some more 3D printed models that will be a Blooded Kill team. I tried out some Slap-Chop style painting on these models. The uniform is a layer of Vallejo sepia ink. This stuff is very thick so does a good job of acting like a contrast paint. The metal is Burnt Iron, over the zenethal undercoat its almost self-highlighting (yeah for Vallejo Metal Air paints).
I bought this Beastman Kill Team from Borthwick Gaming. These have some paint on them and are coming along nicely.
I got this Inquisition Kill Team from a Etsy Store in Spain. These are very nice. There are also some extra models. I ran out of the GW style 25mm bases, so these are mounted on Rendra stone textured round bases.

Meanwhile in a much more civilised age, I have an Original Series bridge crew. These are 3D printed models. These could be used for a different Stargrave campaign , 5 Parsecs from Home or Mars Code Aurora.

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

 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...
