Deth Wizard - start of the campaign

-

After our trading game a couple of weeks ago Ricar an I teamed up to start our campaign of Deff Wizard.

I chose to make my Necromancer a fighty one with the War Reaper ability so unlike most wizards he likes it up close and personal so chose to use my Krell model. He has a bodyguard of a Death knight and three Skellies 

Here are our forces emerging from the swamp. We are then ready to swoop down on the unsuspecting hamlet of Schlemdorf and massacre its inhabitants Richard’s wizard is a Sticher so is good a repairing his undead minions.
Here are the stout defenders, perhaps a bit less stout and a bit more weapons practice.

Everyone is racing to the first house, Richard's wizard and vampire team up to claim the first kill. There is a second warrior bravely trying to hold back the undead horde while looking around for his comrades.

Mor warriors arrive from behind the buildings. Richard is forming a defensive perimeter with his Skellies from where his vampire can launch out and attack. Krell has moved around the other side, he hit one warrior with his axe for 6 damage, then the death knight came over and took it down to one.

Krell moves deeper into the ranks of the defenders and unleashes a storm of undeath this kills two peasant bowmen and reduces the two warriors to half wounds The Skellies take some free stabs at the warriors before running over to block the gap at the house. Richard's archer manages to finish off a wounded warrior.

A second wave of necromantic energy rolls from Krell and claims the souls of the last warriors on this side of the building. Those peasants don't like having their souls ripped from their bodies. No Sir they don't.
Here is Richard cleaning up the last peasant bowman with his Skellies. "Good Night Peasant!"

Having his minions do the work caused Richard to only get 3 kills and this miss out on an experience point.

Krell accounted for 4 personally so ended up with 5 xp. I'm still not sure what to spend it on, maybe I will keep it until after the next game where we are off to secure a shrine from some deluded defenders.
We both got an extra Skellie but failed to roll for more undead minions.

A nice quick game. Krell has taken up residence in a cave, probably an ancient tomb. His minions are working to expand it into a full dungeon when not out terrorising the local area.

 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...

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...

Stargrave game 2 - It's a bug hunt

Image
  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...
