Deff Wizard

-

 I went around to Richard’s house and he showed me how to plat Deff Wizard. Our two necromancers collaborated to attack a village and free its inhabitants from suffering.

Here are our necromancers and their retinue. I'm the nearer blury blob while Ricard is at the back
Here are the warriors and villagers defending the village with their lives. Richard is making some very nice resin buildings. Maybe from Tabletop World?
The action heats up as the villagers boil out of their village like a disturbed wasp hive. Richard has a Vampire to slap down the warriors.
As it's a co-op game my Necromancer a delightful you lady called Thursday sent forward her ghoul and did her signature spell. Which made it explode. Every model within 3 inches took 10D10 damage. This was often enough to kill a villager or severely damage a warrior.
Here is my Necromancer helping, she doesn't need or want to get that close to the action.
After the dust settles from the explosion There are several less villagers and Richard is safely back behind his catchers mitt of Skellingtons
My Wizard advances again and another Skellie charges into the villagers and explodes like the suicidal bomber it is.
Richard and his vampire then advance in and mop up the survivors. 

The game took us about 90 minutes even with looking up the rules for all the stats.

This game is a lot of fun, plays like is sounds. I get to play as one of the bad guys. This inspired me to create my own force. I'm going to be Krell with a death knight and 3 Skellingtons for my starting force.

After the game Vince Venturella did clarify that the exploding minion is removed as a casualty even if its not clearly stated in the rules. One game and already one FAQ!

Call To Arms 2025

 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...
