Call to Arms - other games

Image
 Dale Elvy and his friends returned to Call to Arms and were putting on an excellent looking demo game series of Man-o-War. They had several fleets of beautifully painted models. Here are some shots from their games. This looks like Dark Elf, Norse and Nurgle fleets attacking some High Elves. The purpose of this attack was to seize control of some forts guarding the Brettonnian coast. Here are some Brettonnians trying to protect their coasts. On day two there was a massive multi fleet battle. The Flames of War games looked amazing, all the tables had immersive terrain. 

Rangers of Shadowdeep - Rescue at the Farmhouse.

After trekking through the disgusting swamp Robin and his band were looking for shelter. They came across a farmhouse and some out buildings. Figures could be seen moving in the windows. Will wanted to storm the place and kill all the cultists. Robin thought that they might be normal villagers and therefore friends. Robin sneaked forwards and called out "Nottingham"! A voice answered back "Sherriff". That was not the best answer but at least it wasn't cultists. Here is the farmhouse, some of the out-buildings are rather dilapidated. When the team made it into the farmhouse, the found a couple of men at arms wearing the livery of the Sherriff of Nottingham. There were several locals and farmers. A familiar face scowled at them from the darkness. Guy of Gisbourne. "It would be you Wolfshead".  The Cultists are coming, and they have monsters with them.  A troll was lurking behind these bushes. On the other side a patrol of cultists was approaching. An ini

Rangers of Shadowdeep - trekking through the swamp

Robin and his crew have made it to the bottom of the stairs. The land is a morass of bogs, swamp and deep water dotted here and there by the sagging bones of ruined buildings poking from the brown mess of the ground. Human looking figures pulled themselves out of the muck and started shambling towards the party. The stench was awful, some party members were sickened by the poisonous vapors swirling from the water. The band of adventurers managed to drag themselves from the deep water. Fortunately they were only lightly equipped. Being weighted down with heavy armour and shields would have made exiting the water much more difficult. The Bog zombies were adept at navigating their home environment and closed quickly. Furtunately they were less adept at fighting and were defeated and driven back Much is making his way towards one of the treasure markers, the rest of the team have made it out of the river. The ground might be difficult but at least you won't drown. The first wave of zom

Kill Team - Genestealers - Hungry for more

You know what its like after eating an Aeldari, 30 minutes later you feel like something more. After a spot of lunch I had a game with Alex and his Novitiates.  We had both played on Octavius terrain in the morning so we a game in the basement of the fortress-scholam the Novitiates call home.  Here are the Genestealers on the right, we rolled up loot so there would need to be lots of models sitting on objectives pushing buttons. I chose Seek and Destroy, with Eliminate Guards and Rob and Ransack and Rout. Here the other side of the deployment. The room on the left is interesting, there are no objectives in the room so unless you want to rush across a killing ground there is little or no need to go into that room. I was happy to have that room as no mans land and sit there and push buttons, Here are a buch of Novitiates on one side, including one with a flamer. Here is the main group with the head mistress, detention teacher and students. It looks like they are making their main push in
