Deth Wizards - game 5 looting Hogwarts

-

Richard and I got together to attack a magical college. The standard objective of kill everyone and nick all their stuff

Here we are, I have a Death Knight, Mummy and Lucy the vampire spawn. Richard has his Vampire and his Death Knight.
Her we have Harry and Ron with the rest of the dropouts from Hogwarts. I hope they got good grades in Defence against the Dark Arts. There are few arts darker than Krell and his mates.


Here we go! Richard has just been advised that he can use his Stitcher special magic ability to leap his minions 12" forwards before they activate. My Mummy has used its once per game teleport and gone behind the house. This will put him in a good spot to mug an wizards caught lurking behind the bike shed having a quick smoke on a snog. Just like a really badly bandaged hall monitor.

Richards Vampire has gone in for a quick snack, Krell has removed grounds keeper Willie and the Vampire has eaten poor Ron.

There are quite a few wizards missing and Krell has made some very cutting remarks about the wizards uniform violations.

Look at that Mr Potter is trying to sneak off and skip potions class. The Mummy and Vampire have cornered some poor wizard behind the bike shed. Lucy is trying to interest Harry in her Agent Provocateur night gown but all that did was fog up his glasses. 

Mr Potter fled from Lucy right into a wizard sized hole next to the vampire and mummy Krell ghosted through the house and axed some more questions.
Wizards flee 12 inches from the nearest model at the start of the turn. You can use this ability to herd them into a trap if you can come up with a cunning plan.


The back of the bike shed is cleared of malingering wizards.

Missed it by that much chief! We ended up with 2 wizards on 1 wound at the end of turn 3. Curses! Drat! Drat and double Drat!

Just then Krell's lair security system went off. So no time for the traditional victory party. Back to the lair and find out what is happening.

It's the bloody heroes raiding my dungeon. Well, I guess the flashing neon sign was a bit of a giveaway.
The newly installed magical statues worked a treat. We lost one skellie.
Krell did manage to add a Ghast to the squad, so we came out a head. (hur hur)

The defence systems came online and the adventurers fled before an angry horde of undead. Cue Benny Hill chase music. Baaaargh!

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...

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...
