Frostgrave - Witch Hunters - The only good chaos witch is a dead one.

-

Slomon Kane and his stalwart band are navigating the Drakenwald forest searching for signs of corruption.

Arriving at a ruined hamlet deep in the woods the party come across a Chaos sorcerer enacting a ritual, surrounded by daemons and spider cultists.

Solomon opens negotiations with a fireball before Gwendolin brings down the witch with a critical hit from her crossbow. Both sides close the distance.


Aemos ends up in combat with the Spider cult leader assisted??? by Penelope. Guido, our new Estalian Swordsman, dispatches a cultist. Basil the Flagellant smashes a corrupted tree with his flail.

Derek the other Flagellant, buffied by the Strength of Sigmar charges the Spider cult boss and deals damage.
The Spider Cult champion is quickly dispatched with the backswing.
One of the Daemons gets a chunk taken out of it.
The other daemon decides it wants the taste of wizard dripping from it's tonsils followed by one of the cultists. In the bottom left one of the cultists is busy stabbing their way through my archery group. Amelia fell first and then Parker the Thief was dealt with easily.
With an effort of Will Solomon takes control of the Daemon and has it attack the cultist with the support of Basil the Flagellant.
The Cultits and remaining daemons are cleaned up in the middle, while the murder cultist takes out Gwendolin with a critical hit of its own.
Aemos moves over to start chopping down the corrupted tree. The Daemon breaks its control and goes back to being a monster.
The Daemon takes out Basil and is counter attacked by Derek and Solomon. Penelope has made it to one of the treasure tokens.
The Daemon takes Derek down to two wounds and then Guido arrives and slays the creature with a flourish. Aemos is still trying to chop down the tree.
Solomon heals Derek and then moves over to the central treasure. Guido leaps over the wall and promptly stabs the cultist to death.

Reinforcements arrive, two zombies a mutant bruiser and most dangerously a Wraith. Solomon blasted the Wraith with a fireball, managed to control a zombie long enough for it to pick up a treasure and make it off the table. Heinrich managed to pick up the central treasure and heal Solomon.


The remaining members of the warband run from the mutant before it could get its claws on any of us.

Fortunately all 4 members of the warband survived.
We got 300 XP which we spent on +1 Fight, -1 to cast Strength, learn Shield.
We got 200 gold, the grimoire and the zombie brought back a magic sword of +2 will. 

Back at base we built a kennel and bought a war hound. We also recruited a Knight of Sigmar which gives me a 5th specialist in case one of mine needs to sit out a game or I want more hitting power instead of shooting.

Solomon is now level 8 and is doing well in his mission of pushing back the darkness.

 We held our annual convention Call to Arms on the weekend of 30-31 August. About 160 wargamers from all over New Zealand came and played in 10 different events. Up on the stage we had a couple of different Napoleonic games. They are great looking games with nice armies in spiffy uniforms. The main hall was mostly filled with GW games. on the far left we have the MESBG, then AOS. These were two of our largest events. In the middle of the hall, we have the Horus Heresy games On the right of the hall, we have Kill Team, Flames of War, Warhammer Old World and some of the Demo games including Alan's huge zombie apocalypse game. (more on that later) The ancient gamers are on their preferred side hall. It's warm, quiet and close to the toilets. There were 18 of them playing DBMM This is one of the MESBG tables. The terrain they had was really nice. 3 of the players dressed up as wizards, we had Saruman, Gandalf and Radagast running around in wigs and robes and waving their staffs lik...

Stargrave game 2 - It's a bug hunt

  George and I got in a second game of our Stargrave campaign. We used the dead or alive mission and generated the Brood Mother. I didn't think it made much sense for a group of human mercenaries to work for a creature that kept trying to get them to bathe in marinade. I replaced all the mercenaries with spiders using the creatures from Quadrant 37. We used the Transmat to beam down to the planet Spiridon This is a very hostile jungle planet teaming with all sorts of lethal predators. Receiving reports of unidentified aliens hiding in the Plane of Stones we set out through the jungle to find out what was going on.  Here is the Raknos nest, somewhat unexpected. In addition. the nearby volcano is showing signs of an imminent eruption. Here we have the crew deployed. We have a new Engineer, I think I forgot to deploy one of the team. I have changed the Dalek's weapon to a Rapid Fire. The Plane of Stones is one of the more comfortable areas because the rocks absorb heat during the...

Hobby update - Frostgrave campaign

-
Image
For our next Frostgrave campaign we are going to theme it with Warhammer models. The idea is that we are all the forces of chaos and destruction and are going to bring down the kingdoms of men elves and dwarfs as part of our 12-step programme to ascension. Using a warhammer theme also makes it more accessible to people that have not played before. Everyone has some GW fantasy models. I have bought a few Warcry warbands and some underworlds boxes to make warbands. I have made some other models out of a box of undead peasants to round out some of the thieves and thugs that are not usually included in Warcry warbands. After reading a Conan story where he encounters a giant composite ghost. I remember I had this model from the Carnevale Doctors range and am painting it to look like it's a ghost. Here are my Khainite Shadowstalkers, these are shaping up to be an illusionist warband. They have some hounds and an illusionary one. These will be very tricky elves. Here are the splintered Fa...
