Repent! Ye Foolish Gods.

-

Richard and I are playing a cooperative campaign of this latest game from Vince and Uncle Adam.
In this game you are playing an embittered band of followers of the Dark Gods who are now pissed off at being betrayed by their gods. (Think GW blowing up the warhammer world, level pissed) What is an angry betrayed warrior going to do? Seek revenge on the gods themselves. Kill them all.

Here are my band of sneaky murderous Dark Elves and their hit points. I have a Soldier, a Bastard, a Forsaken and an Elementalist. Some of these models are conversions. My forsaken is made from a Skorne body with a GW Dark Elf head and sword.



Here is the horde of frothing cultists we need to get through to win. As usual with Vince and Adam games the primary objective is kill everyone.
Here we are deployed. My Dark Elf Sept, gets to forward deploy a model and then has advantages on the first turn of initiative. In what would become our preferred opening move my Bastard shoots someone from hiding, kills them and then Richards wizard cast corpse explosion and blew up a huge number of densely packed cultists.

We have now formed a nice defensive line between the buildings while the sneaky wizard hunters try and flank us to get at the nice tasty magic wielders.



After dealing with the initial wave of cultists, we have moved to block up the outflankers. Forsaken have the ability to make free strikes on anyone leaving their engagement range so moving into position of a bunch or raving loonies that are about to race off and attack a sorcerer meant they all got stabbed as soon as they moved.




After being bad touched by some cultists Richard's wizard moves back to a safer distance and concentrates on making the bad people explode.




We managed to kill everyone within the 3 turn limit for a Glorious Victory!. We then rolled near maximum for treasure and got some powerful looking magic items.

Here we are ready to bring down the gods themselves.

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...

Hobby update - Frostgrave campaign

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...

The Adepticon Saga

I am going to Adepticon with the Family at the end of March. I am an Adepticon noob. I managed to get into a couple of the Saga events. The Age of Magic on Thursday and the Age of Vikings on Sunday. For the Age of Magic event I am taking an undead army. I will be using: A Necromancer Warlord 2 points of Hearthguard, 4 points of warriors, 1 monster and 1 point of creatures. Typically I will trade in 2 hearthguard and 4 warriors for some combination of a Black Knight, and extra creature or a catapult. I am having some fun painting some new models to make the list. I got in a game against Thomas over the weekend. This was a real eyeopener. My attacks bounced off Thomas's units who always seemed to have extra defense dice, attack dice or both. My Hearthguard got a big surprised when Tom revealed that his archers could shoot units that were charging them. It was a good learning experience and an opportunity to hopefully recruit Thomas into our Saga community. Some of my idea...
