Deth Wizards - no sucking for old necromancers.

-

Drusus led his warband back to attack the humans again. This time there were three warriors a wizard and a priest.

We now have 2 vampires, a mummy, three vampire spawn and a skeleton archer.

Rachel was sitting this one out to allow the skellie archer to take her place. I was very impressed by Richard’s anti wizard tactic of using the archer to pop the wizards magic shield leaving him more vulnerable to a follow up attack by a set of fangs.
The new batch of victims, sorry that’s stalwart defenders to you tooth boy baaaargh!
An overview of the table, the undead are in the top left and the defenders in the bottom right.

The necromancers moved forwards and teleported the skellie and the vampire. The skellie then activated and popped the wizards magic shield with his arrow and did 4 points of damage. Great start Mr Skellie
The necromancer and the vampire lurk behind the buildings waiting for the defenders. The spawn have run into position to attack next turn.
The Vampire flies over the building and eats the priest, no healing for you lot. Two of the warriors had activated and run flat out towards the enemy. Before the priest could say "bless you my child" he was up to his neck in fangs and shadows.
The vampire flew back out of LOS of the wizard. The Necromancer moved up and did an eruption of death killing one of the warriors and badly wounding the other one
The Wizard lobbed a fireball at the vampire who took 4 damage however the spearman was withing the blast radius and took two damage which was enough to finish him off. Bit of an own goal there wiz.
Mr Skellie, Phoebe and Monica all gang up on the wizard and finally get something or someone they can sink their teeth into.
The Wizard and the Vampire team up to bring down he last warrior. Don't you point that spear at me you horrible little man. I'm going to poke your eye out with my finger.
Here is the team after the game. We got ourselves a second Vampire, Lucy.

Those poor mortals didn't last very long, we go ourselves a nice haul of 4xp and another vampire. It's hard during solo games for the necromancer to kill 4 models there just are not enough candidates.

 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...
