Deth Wizards, - necromancers don’t suck

-

 I got inspired by all the fun I was having with Richard and seeing him have fun with his vampires so I decided to make a different necromancer leading a vampire themed warband.


Here is my Necromancer Drusus Von Meckleburg. His is a sticker so good a sticking them back together and he is also the most magical of the necromancers.

Here the necromancer and his minions have deployed in the top right while the brave defenders are emerging from their houses. There are three warriors and three archers.
Drusus has a vampire and 3 vampire spawn, named Phoebe, Monica and Rachel.
Now they can be friends for all eternity and not just in the reruns.
Crap! It’s Vampires! A blurry shot of the necromancers forces.

A close up of the defenders as they take to the field of battle.


The necromancer used his stitcher spell relocate to teleport the vampire and Monica forwards. There are three vampire then leapt over the building and almost are a villager


A spearman came running around the corner to find himself face to face with the vampire with Monica hissing at him from the ruined shrine nearby. Definitely the wrong part of town.

Another spearman came around the side of the tower and found himself face to face with Monica. She looked at him hungrily. “So much nice warm blood”

After Monica had her turn Phoebe and Rachel had a snack and the necromancer sucked the soul from the poor spearman.

Phoebe moved over to stare at some archers.

Two arches moved up and shot at Phoebe who took a light graze from an arrow.
Monica go so excited eating the spearman she increased her Attack score.

The necromancer moved into exactly the right spot and sucked the life out of 4 heroic defenders in one go.  Eruption of Death is a very useful if indiscriminate spell.
Fully invigoured with all that soul energy it was now time to go and greet the returning patrol. 
The necromancer and the vampire run over to the place the patrol will be arriving.the three girl friends are busy eating the last spearman. “Don’t play with your food!”



Vampire are very fast with their flying and a free move action.
The girls are enjoying their diets of Spearmen. A good balanced diet, plenty of solid trans fats and carbohydrates for energy.
The patrol returns to their cache of supplies to find the village deserted and quiet.
“Nice and peaceful innit?” 

The necrmancer moved through the forest and got into rang to blast the patrol. I did have to move the spawn because Rachel was in the blast radius. She finished off the last spearman and ran around the corner to get out of dodge. Having her soul turns from her body would not be good for her.

This did mean the spawn were not going to do anything else useful this turn.

After the eruption of death the necromancerr had claimed another three victims leaving one spearman and one archer alive.
They attacked the necromancer causing 8 damage. However that wasn’t enough… 
Another Eruption of death was just possible and then the souls of the last two mortals were torn from their bodies.

The vampire did a slow hand clap.
With all the defenders dead by the end of turn 3 my necromancer got 5 experience points.
With the bonus for his hovel lair and the bonus from the scenarios he rolled and recruited Lucy the vampire to go with the others. He also got a free skellie archer.

So these vampires are off to a great start.

 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

  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...
