Raiders and Renegades

Tuesday night was the last meeting of the month and round 2 of the Necromunda campaign.

Playing through a variety of raids there were no deaths, unlike round 1, though there were plenty of captures which resulted in rescue attempts and an awful lot of horse trading. The big face-off was Ian’s Escher Nuns vs Lewis’ Goliath as both were undefeated. The Nuns were raiding the Goliaths who did an excellent job of constantly looking the wrong way. Result…big boom. An epic firefight then broke out but the Nuns held there nerve to take the game.

Meanwhile SAGA actually entered the Dark Ages whilst there was a brief night out with the Ankh Morpork City Watch with Guards Guards.

Next meeting is Tuesday 14th for round 3 of Necromaunda and more run what you brung.

Call out the Guard Discworld stylee

Causing Carnage

This Tuesday saw the penultimate round of the Mordheim campaign.

Making a change it was randomly generated one on one games as simple as you like with two rounds squeezed in. All the results were anonymously allocated to the two leading factions to setup next sessions finale. Tallying up, the Orc Warband will attempt to perform the ARCANE RITUAL to secure The Grimoire of Grunburg.

Elsewhere Rich had another run out with Super Dungeon Explore and an alternative set of Ganesha Games’ Mighty Monsters rules.

Next week, Tues 13th, is open gaming with a few pratice games of Necromunda on the cards before our final meeting of the year on the 20th for the Mordhiem finale and one of our greatest club traditions……..PIZZA NIGHT!!

And now for something completely different!!

Following on from the first night of the Mordheim campaign this week was open gaming with a total of five different systems being played. Most of the club were trying out something new whilst the rest of us rolled out and old favourite and stuck the kettle on!

Following on the recent Mantic theme Stuart and Richard ran through a game of their new offering Warpath. Stuart is lucky enugh to be getting sent a starter set but it hadn’t made it yet so it was proxy time, Space Wolves vs Uruk Hai and Moria Goblins. It looked weird but reports were, with two games run, that it played well though the Marauders need plenty of cover!

4 Musketeers Songs of Blades stylee, which one's Titus Pulo?

Shaun and Rich J ran through Songs of Blades and Musketeers with some semi-proxied printer paper musketeers. Out to kidnap Lady De Winter the .Cardinel’s men put up a stiff fight before chucking her in a sack and riding off into the epilogue.

Dystopian Wars moves from the high seas to a deep harbour

Elsewhere Ian and Charlie moved their steampunk fleet clash too shallower waters laying out a harbour with defensive islands in an attempt to hijack a newly trialed Dreadnought. Charlie was trying his British fleet for the first time launching multiple waves of torpedos at Ian’s Prussians only to see most of them nullified or avoided. Inside the torp screen the Prussian big guns took their toll. A painful lesson but there’s always tea and crumpet to rely on!

An oldie but a goodie. Run for that helicopter!!

The rest of us rolled out a game of Zombies and then played through a mini game of Malifaux just to add something else to the mix.

Going for Gold

Run What You Brung continued last night in the most mercenary manner possible.

Playing Order of the Stick Craig took the Hafling Rogue and specialised in following everyone else around waiting for them to die hideously and then scooping up thier loot. Excellent job.

Meanwhile the rest of us played out the first round of the Gladiator League;

Rogurius Caninus Secundus is proud to invite the new Britannia Ludi to join the Britannia Premirius Leagusta.
Each Ludus over the course of the year will visit and fight each other twice, one at home and once at the away stadium. At the end of the year the top 2 Ludi will fight in the Super Pit, the winner will be able to travel to Gaul to pit his gladiators against the best Rome has to offer during the official ‘Round the Fringe’ tour.

Fancy a game, then you know where we are!

A rulebook in the form of a comic. Get in!!

Thats an awful lot of loot lying around!

Bloodied and beaten the vanquished asks the crowd for mercy
