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

The Dark Ages but shiny! SAGA Vikings vs Normans

Tough at the top: Cawdor come looking for their heavy

Ohhh Matron! Girl on Goliath action

Other than the start of Rich’s Samurai SAGA Mini-Campaign there was some Dystopian Wars fleet action a pre make up game of Necromunda and a smattering of Warhammer Invasion. Anything else you fancy, let us know.

Next week; Necromunda round 2

Trouble on the Cards: Warhammer Invasion

Full Nine Yards: Necromunda

Full Steam Ahead: Dystopian Wars Antarcticans vs Brits

Telling tales: Samurai SAGA

Oooh, pretty!

Round One
Lewis vs Jon for the Holestead – Lewis Won
Ian vs Rob for the Watering Hole – Ian Won
Stewart vs Steve for the Spore Cave – Steve Won

Round Two
Lewis vs Steve for the Architect Horde – Lewis Won
Ian vs Jon for the Workshop – Ian Won
Stewart vs Rob for the Gambling Den – Rob Won

So moving forward this is how the games will be determined/carried out:

1. Each player draws from a hat/hand/bag
2. 3 Will have attack cards, 3 blank
3. The attackers choose who they wish to attack (Territories next to them)
4. Game is played
5. Remaining 3 choose and attack accordingly

If an attacker wants to raid an attacker:

1. Player decides who they want to attack
2. If the ‘defender’ accepts their challenge they can give their attack card to someone else in round one and attacks in round 2, otherwise player must attack else were

Next Round will be The Raid Scenario.

Two games a piece brought plenty of early campaign poorly aimed autofire and failed ammo rolls, so how on Terra there were 4 KIAs and a number of serious injuries has the authorities mystified. The Goliaths made their weight felt with a combination of two sets of Tunnels combined with two sets of flamers (he runs the campaign don’t you know :) ) whilst the Escher Nuns got also got themselves into the winning habit. I’m here all week.

Next Tues is open gamimg and Rich’s Samurai SAGA mini-campaign. Feel free to drop by and pay your respects!

Writing their own story with Samurai SAGA

Alternative Escher: Mr Jingles and the Nuns with Guns......oooh er!

FREE-falling!! She go splat!

That's a long LONG shot!

The Underhive - You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Stay posted for updates.

Trying out a few new tricks from Fantasy Flight a couple of us rolled out demo games of Warhammer Invasion and Blood Bowl Team Manager. Both impressed!

Championing Mantic games was Dwarf King’s Hold whilst the initial admin was completed for the Necromunda campaign was sorted out for kick off next week.

If you feel like challenging for King of the Spire then you know where we are!

Digging deep! Dwarf King's Hold!!

It's a funny old game! Blood Bowl Team Manager!!

As previously metioned this Tuesday was the final meeting of the year, aka Pizza Night, as well as the final round of the Mordheim campaign.
Just one round of games this week to allow us to plow through 8 large offerings of Pizza Hut’s finest fare accompanied by a few sides of garlic bread with cheese and a few mince pies all washed down with lashings of ginger beer. Ahh TRADITION…can’t beat it :)

Back at the gaming the Orcs employed the Possessed shaman to conduct the ANCIENT RITUAL, as their shaman didn’t understand anything non fungal, whilst the Skaven attempted to stop them or even hijack the ANCIENT RITUAL via a Hold the Find scenario. Everyone else played linked games feeding into the final result.

The Skaven assault was utterly deadly with 7 of their opponents out of action on the first turn alone. Fighting valiantly the unholy alliance came close to completing the ritual before both shamans were eventually overwhelmed. The possesed spell-slinger was in fact impaled by a critically hitting spear thrust stapling him to the back of a troll……what a way to go! With such a convincing victory the side results had little impact as the horned god swept to victory.

Withe the Grimoire of Grunburg in their possesion will they overwhelm the town itself. Maybe one day we will return and find out!

Meanwhile, in the words of Eddie Murphy a la Trading Places, MERRY NEW YEAR!!!

Rat-at-at-attack!

Mordheim: The Final Reckoning

Lard, lard everywhere..........must be a wargames club!

Lewis, Stewart and Rich#1 ran people through the most recent Living  edition of Necromunda, which can be downloaded for FREE from the GW site.

Meanwhile Rich#2 plus 3 ran through SAGA’s 4 way scenario “A Feast for the Crows” to put the finishing touches to the factional rules for his upcoming Samurai campaign. The Ninjas, combined with Rich’s dice, were horribly effective!

Next week, Tuesday 2oth, is the final club meeting of 2011, the final round of the Mordheim campaign and time to roll out one of our finest club traditions…PIZZA NIGHT!!

You know where we are :)

Necromunda: Living Rulebook

Four way SAGA: A feast for the crows

Hare Krishna vs Ninja: pamphlets at 20 paces!

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!!

Skull bikini? Jon's Ogre Bodygaurd earning his gold!

Only the brave. Honest Bob goes the extra yard to turn a profit.Pretty boys gone looking for trouble!

All good old fashioned Street-Fight. Who spilled who's pint?

Monstrous Madness??

Apologies for the lack of updates. This time I can’t go blaming technology, I’ve just been a bit caught up with LIFE.

Last Tuesday saw the fourth round of the Mordheim wilderness campaign “The Grimoire of Grunburg” which is coming nicely to the boil. A certain seer has been escorted to an Arcane Fulcrum to perform an ANCIENT RITUAL to locate the aforementioned publication. Next session is Tuesday 6th so if you fancy influencing the outcome then come see us, with your warband.

Meanwhile one of newest members, Lewis, will be running a Necromunda campaign in the New Year. For more details and to sign up click on through to the forums!
