Kill Team - Game 2

-

In the second game I played, I was up against Elucidian Star Striders. I took team smelly and used all Nurgle marked Legionaries. The table felt fairly open so long range shooting might be useful.

It took me some time to get over the fact that one of the Marines was going to die to the orbital lance strike. But once I accepted that there was nothing I could do about it, I settled down to kill the Rogue Trader crew.

Here we are advancing. We have taken security objectives so all we need to do is to get to the middle of the table. The central container contained all the rolls of toilet paper we stole from Terra 40,000 years ago.
The StarStriders are lurking into the ruined buildings. The Rotator cannon gunner got blasted by my heavy gunner. 
The Icon Bearer moved up and tore the poor little doggie to bits with his tainted rounds. Elucindia and her personal physician move up to oppose this push.
The legionaries got the initiative and the Icon bearer then moved up, used Disgusting Aura to reduce their defence and then shot them both to death. I made sure to kill the medic first.
The Plasma gunner got vapourised by the orbital laser after the trooper commander climbed up on the container. The Shrive Talon has charged the troopers hiding behind the barricades. The Balefire Acolyte has taken some damage from a missile strike. 

The Aspiring champion managed a double kill before being taken down by the assassin. The Acolyte then returned the favour with his fell dagger. A weapon enchanted with 10,000 years of foulness reduced the assassin to a pile of bubbling goo.
By the end of turn two the Star Striders were reduced to one model on one wound. That model managed to stagger over and kill the Icon Bearer with a Krak Grenade. The last crewman was then beaten to death by the heavy gunner.

This left the Nurgle legionaries victorious in possession of the field and the entire sectors supply of lavatory paper.

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...
