Kill Team - Nobody expects the Inquisition

-

I got to play a couple of games of Kill Team on Saturday. After watching plenty of cop shows on TV I wanted to try out a combined Inquisition and Arbites task force. This allowed me to reuse some familiar capabilities.

First game was against Tony and his Kroot. This was my first game against Kroot.

Here we are ready to go, we are investigating an industrial plant.
Down at the other end of the field are the Kroot
The Revalatum has dashed forwards and this allowed me to loot 4 objectives in the first turn. The Kroot have done sneaky things with their hound to recover their item.
The Kroot are pushing forwards, trying to make up for lost time. The Arbites marksman managed to zap the Bowcaster Kroot but was then sniped by the Kroot sniper in return. The Kroot sniper went on to have a very good game.
There was a fight developing around the objective behind the smokestack. The Revalatum moved forwards to shoot the hound or the warrior wrestling for the objective. It is great being able to shoot into combat and having ploys that mean the enemy is targetable.
Kroot gangsters acting suspicious
The Mystic is holding down an objective and killed the Kroot hound and decided that the DNA evidence would be good for headquarters to investigate,
The Inquisition were running out of operatives at the end of the game but the focus on looting allowed them to squeak out a victory.
In the second game I played Ed and his Arcon Dark Edar, The Revalatum raced forwards spiked dice and disintegrated the heavy gunner. I also managed to kill the Blaster gunner for the loss of the hardened veteran. 
Here are the devious Dark Eldar. Their poison expert has dashed forwards.
Turn 2 and things fell apart, the Dark Eldar Melee experts were capable of killing the inquisition agents fairly easily. In the worst incompetence, the subjugator charged the flayer, failed to hit with any dice and died allowing the flayer to charge the servitor that had staggerd over to hold down the objective.
I managed to kill another seize and interrogate target. The leader with an upgraded auto pistol and the denounce ability gives you someone that is quite good at shooting. The mystic is also great and can shoot indirect.
The Dark Eldar leader charged my interrogator who could not drage the evidence away fast enough. It wasn't a fair fight and the interrogator was cut down.

So two more fun games

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...
