The Daemon's Claw

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

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

The new edition of Kill Team is coming out in the next couple of weeks. Compendium teams are proposed to not be available in the new edition. So I took my Genestealers down to the club for a couple of games. This is Blake's Corsair Voidscarred. They are likely searching for esoteric trinkets. This advance parts were looking to set up a warpgate to allow easy movement of reinforcements.  Here are some of the Genestealers, their motivations are much simpler, they are hungry to consume the invading biomass. I have 2 stealers with acid squirting tongues and 2 with Fleshhooks, the last stealer has +1 movement. I was eying up a first activation assassination of the Outcast leader. One of the Genestealers has scuttled forwards and is ready to pounce. After pouncing there is one dead Space Elf. The Genestealer is wounded but will still need additional actions to be finished off. The Voidscarred leader moved forwards, he promptly got squirted with Acid and taken down to two wounds but the E

I the second mission we were sent into the ShadowDeep (Wales) to find out what is going on. The newly rescued Marion has joined the team. Here we are at the top of the escarpment Looking down the path we can see three ruined buildings. The air hangs heavy with the stench of death. Two giant flies buzz towards the team, One gets taken out by a swat from Much's staff. Several members of the team are sickened by the stench of this place and are weakened by nausea. Robin, Marion and John lead the advance one fly is dealt with, but another takes its place. More  flies emerge and are swatted. Friar Tuck made it to one of the ruined buildings and set it on fire. Robin encountered a clue marker. No Flies on us this turn, Will Scarlet makes it to a second building and prepares to set it one fire. We uncover evidence of someone camping here, the team make it to the bottom of the stairs. Hopefully the train of burning buildings we left won't signal any intelligent opponents.  

The heroes gathered themselves at the top of the stairs, ready for the final push. A scream from inside the room and the heroes burst in Inside the room the Baron has Marion tied to a pentagram and is waving a sacrifice. The Baron is guarded by a Saracen Assassin he brought back from the Crusades.  Robin fired an arrow at the figure and got a critical hit. The Saracen warrior slumped to the floor.  I was planning to shoot the Saracen and charge in with support to finish him off, so over achieving threw my plan out of the window. Herne moved into the room and zapped the Baron with the Silver arrow. This was a good start because the Baron is partially immune to non-magic weapons. The Baron had archers on the look-out platform. The took shots at Herne through the windows fortunately they missed. Little John and the soldier we had rescued from the torture chamber took out the archers, one went over the side. The Baron stabbed Will with his cursed dagger. He only had to hold us off for 4 mo

The crew have tracked Baron DeBellem's cult back to an old tower, known colloquially as the Devil's Finger. Robin led the sneak up to the tower and used the keys found at the river campsite to open the doors.  The team opened the door to find the cultists torturing some of the Sheriff of Nottigham's soldiers Robin fired an arrow taking our one of the cult soldiers, and then charged into the room, Will Scarlet then took down another and we were able to rescue one of the Sherriff's soldiers. Two others were too weak to be able to assist. The team started up the stairs, you have only 4 turns to get into the next room or the defenders have time to prepare and the rooms get harder. This room had some more cultists, this time the arrow and charge tactic didn't work, and the fighting was close and fierce. The Cultists started falling but would they fall fast enough? Will takes down the last archer and the crew arranged themselves on the stairs. Herne moved to secure some l
