What with vacations, getting covid, family visiting, and my kid learning to crawl, it has been a busy time. Not so much that I couldn't get any gaming in, but enough for me not to have the time to sit down and just hash out this post. I've managed to write this in bits and pieces though, enough now that I can finally hit that damn publish button. So without further belaboring, we have the end of a Mordheim campaign.
After surviving a rip-roaring boating adventure, my Lizardmen have made landfall in a strange part of town. Stranger still, the leader seems inexorably drawn towards the large, spooky structure in the center of the square. Undeterred, the rest of the warband follows them in as they trudge along. What awaits for our intrepid heroes....
Another day, another Mordheim game. Now that the warbands have made it inside the city, it's time to do some good ol'fashioned looting. Treasure tokens have been scattered across the face of the map, and so have all of the warbands. Each model had to be placed down one at a time, resulting in a very scattered deployment. Which made for some mayhem right from the start!
Now that my life has settled enough that I can venture out solo again, it's time for another round of Mordheim gaming. I'm trying out the Lizardmen warband this playthrough, which debuted in the Lustria setting for the game. Personally, they don't quite fit the vibe of Mordheim to me, but I wanted to try out one of the more esoteric warbands out there, plus I already had all the minis ready to go since Seraphon is my main Age of Sigmar army.
No, the warbands weren't given a list of clues to go hunting about the city. They had to find a chest, hidden amongst the ruins, and keep the other warband from finding it. This time my Restless Dead warband was up against the Pit Fighters.
The warbands have all grown mighty in the last few weeks, and so we look to bring this open campaign to a close. Mostly because now we know who the main core of players are, and so we can start a proper map campaign. But also for the fun of it and as a chance for everyone to try new warbands! And what better way to close it off than with a 4 player free-for-all winner-takes-all deathmatch.
The Mordheim campaign continues apace, this time pitting my wily Eshin warband vs the horrifically whimsical Cult of the Possessed. The objective for this game was Occupy, where teams had to have at least one unit in the footprint of a building with no enemy models contesting. Luckily for me, everyone survived last time, but unfortunately no one gained enough XP to have any new skills or changes to their baseline stats. So in the warband went to claim ruined buildings for what I'm sure are nefarious reasons.
Practice games are done, the gloves are off, and the deaths are real. The Mordheim campaign has finally begun.
My Eshin Skaven warband continues to grow, and this time, we have the head honcho of this whole operation: the Assassin Adept. In reality, this model is a Deathmaster from the Age of Sigmar line, but they're basically the same model.
Since I'm basically an expert at playing Skaven in Mordheim now, I feel comfortable settling down with the warband and throwing some paint on some models. First up I have this Eshin Sorcerer, who is converted from a Grey Seer who would normally sit atop a Screaming Bell. Whether or not this is a demotion or promotion for this particular rat is up to the reader.
This last month has been rather quiet here on the Space Dinosaur front. Ordinarily, I prefer to share my hobby stuff here once it's completely done. That works for smaller projects, but right now I'm working on some bigger things that are eating up some time. So, in the spirt of keeping my blog active, here's a sneak peek of some of the upcoming posts.
