Kill Team -Genestealers - going out with a bang not a whimper

-
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 Elf medic moved over and psychic healed him back to 5. The blaster armed gunner has climbed onto the roof and is looking for targets.

Another stealer has moved around the corner and squirted another elf with ACID. Some failed saved later and the elf is a pile of bubbling goo.
The Aeldari sniper is lurking around near the edge of the board and I advanced a stealer to force his hand.
The elf leader got a claw to the face and that got me some points for head hunter. The medic has teamed up with the psycher,and given him an extra APL.
The stealer moved over and took out the gunner with its fleshhooks.

The genestealer leader charged the psycher and the medic he killed the psycher but was then killed in return my the medic.
The Sniper leaped over the scrap pile and planted a transponder, with a Genestealer in hot pursuit.
The Medic made a run for the recover item in the corner, but got speared in the back by the stealer with fleshooks. Thus all the Corsairs were killed, and their allies would not be able to arrive via webway portal.

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...
