PostSubject: Spawn Hunt Campaign   Spawn Hunt Campaign Icon_minitimeSun 22 Jul 2012 - 13:01

So, we decided to start our campaign off as we found motivation to paint scenery etc lacking when not actually gaming.
This will explain the lack of quality terrain, which i hope will improve as the campaign progresses.

Player Warbands

Me- Captain Valkens  Witch Hunters
      Ghaal Goretusk's Beastmen Raiders

Darkfury- Orcs
                Possessed

NPC Warbands- Skaven
                          Goblins

Week one saw the warbands make their first tentative moves into the ruins of Mordheim. Knowing that reputation is all in the quest for information about the Chaos Spawn they have been tasked with recovering, all were anxious to start carving out a name for themselves.

For Captain Valken, the chance came first, on the second move the Witch Hunters made.
Moving into the area around the Mordheim University, they encountered a small Skaven warband.
Small in number maybe, but a giant Rat Ogre was one of the foes they would face.


The Skaven got lucky and caught the Witch Hunters unprepared, and so were not detected until they were far too close for comfort.
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0491
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0494

Valken kept his men on high ground, hoping to lure the Skaven in.
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0492

Turn One and Two

The Skaven advanced so rapidly into cover that the Witch Hunters didn't get a single ranged shot off.
The next move brought the Rat Ogre thundering round the large building the Witch Hunters were defending, and one Witch Hunter knocked down by a sling shot.
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0497

This proved disastrous for the big guy, as he was charged by Valken's two disturbed Flagellants and a Wardog and taken OOA immediately.
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0500

With another Wardog smashing down a Skaven Hero, the leadership abilities of the Skaven leader would be tested.

Turn Three and Four

Leading by example the Skaven leader charged and removed a Wardog, but left himself open to a volley of pistol and bow fire from the enemies above, who succeeded in knocking him down.
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0504

The Seer first cursed, then charged and smote down a Flagellant, then beat Rutger, the Sigmarite Warrior Priest into unconsciousness.
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0506

But this was the end of the Skaven as another hero was taken down, and they fled the scene of battle.


Results
The Rat Ogre survived his battering, as did all the other Skaven casualties.
The Witch Hunters were lucky only lose one Flagellant, as Rutger, who should have taken multiple injuries from his fight with the Seer, miraculously made a full recovery. Sigmar be praised!

This gave the first notches on the prestige ladder to the Witch Hunters, however, fate has already determined that they will meet the Skaven again on the very next move, and cannot recruit or buy equipment without returning to their home base.
The Skaven do not have this problem, and so will be stronger in the coming battle, while Valkens men will be missing a man.

The Possessed warband will also be meeting the Grimraks Goblin Horde.

Week 2

Somewhere in the vicinity if the Great Library, Valkens men come under attack by the dastardly Skaven again.
Both sides realised occupying strategic buildings could win the fight.
Heavy rain meant that the Witch Hunters pistols would be useless, and their bows and crossbow would not be able to operate at long range.

The battlefield.
Spawn Hunt Campaign SAM_0533

The Skaven started in a good position to occupy two of these buildings without contest, and a third would be reached by both groups together. White dice mark the important buildings.

Spawn Hunt Campaign SAM_0534

Turns 1 and 2
Both sides moved to occupy buildings, Valkens Krieg is in the foreground.
Sadly Valken sent his Zealots and xbow armed hero the wrong way, in a search for high ground that was to do them no good. That they cannot be seen shows how far out of the action they were.
Spawn Hunt Campaign SAM_0539

Valken orders his men towards one of the important buildings as they can see the Rat Ogre coming down the street.
The wardogs have been sent in ahead.
Spawn Hunt Campaign SAM_0540

Turns 3 and 4
The building has already been occupied by a Skaven Seer, Hero and slave. The dogs get stuck in.
Spawn Hunt Campaign SAM_0542

Meanwhile the Skaven leader moves to claim a second building.
Spawn Hunt Campaign SAM_0545

It is around this time that a Mother Superior of Sigmar, mad with rage, enters the area immediately behind the With Hunters.
With the Rat Ogre closing, the groups heads for the buildings safety, leaving the sole Flagellant to intercept any charges from the alley.
Spawn Hunt Campaign SAM_0547

Valken chops down the Skaven slave, saving one of his beloved dogs.
Spawn Hunt Campaign SAM_0548

Turn 5
The Rat Ogre and its slave companion charge the Flagellent and dispatch him before he can react, but with the mass of Witch Hunters now in contact with the Skaven the fight in this building turns their way.
Spawn Hunt Campaign SAM_0551
Axel swings at the Seer, misses, but his hatred of spellcasters spurs him on and he puts the Seer down.
Spawn Hunt Campaign SAM_0552

With the very expensive Rat Ogre about to be charged from behind by the Sigmarian Mother Superior, and a hero surrounded by Valkens men and dogs the Skaven elect to leave.

Results
The Skaven lose no one, in fact the Seer gains bonus XP.
The Witch Hunters flagellent dies from his wounds.

The Witch Hunters now have 4 prestige points, giving them a clue to the location of the Skavens underground lair, but they will need to return to Sigmarshaven to recruit more troops and spend some of the cash they have already earned.

Long gap i know, but we are back playing again and thanks to note taking the campaign continued from where it last left off.
We have had a few games i forgot to make notes for, two that were over in two turns due to awesome dice rolls on long range shooting, but i will try to document a bit better from now on.

Anyway, the Witch Hunters went underground......

The caverns:

https://s1276.photobucket.com/user/berryq1/media/20140518_150836_zps5b148d04.jpg.html?sort=3&o=11

Witch Hunters enter on mass as the Skaven had deployed as a group:
https://s1276.photobucket.com/user/berryq1/media/20140518_155144_zpsc7dfa33a.jpg.html

Flanking group of Zealots with bows and one Witch Hunter with xbow
https://s1276.photobucket.com/user/berryq1/media/20140518_155153_zpsda656b66.jpg.html?sort=3&o=9

The Skaven positions
https://s1276.photobucket.com/user/berryq1/media/20140518_155236_zps20a73283.jpg.html?sort=3&o=8

Turn One
https://s1276.photobucket.com/user/berryq1/media/20140518_155921_zpsea0bcc0b.jpg.html?sort=3&o=7

Turn Two, the Skaven bunch up behind the openings and wait for the invading Witch Hunters to come to them.
https://s1276.photobucket.com/user/berryq1/media/20140518_161048_zpsf147f972.jpg.html?sort=3&o=6

Turn Three, Witch Hunters move to receive the inevitable charge as they are on a time limit. Dogs first!
A sneaky hidy Skaven to the left has a pistol and fanatic ambush waiting for him
https://s1276.photobucket.com/user/berryq1/media/20140518_163017_zps6aa65ce3.jpg.html?sort=3&o=5
https://s1276.photobucket.com/user/berryq1/media/20140518_163023_zps5fc1534d.jpg.html?sort=3&o=4
https://s1276.photobucket.com/user/berryq1/media/20140518_163028_zps14223fba.jpg.html?sort=3&o=3

Turn Four. Valken shooting over the dogs cleared out a couple of Skaven
https://s1276.photobucket.com/user/berryq1/media/20140518_164105_zps24dbb419.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2

The hidy Skaven kept getting revealed by the Flagellant and shot at by the two Witch Hunters until he went down and got taken OOA.
https://s1276.photobucket.com/user/berryq1/media/20140518_171022_zps45c0af07.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1

The Skaven routed after this turn of combat as they were being pressed from two sides and had 3 models out.
https://s1276.photobucket.com/user/berryq1/media/20140518_171030_zpsfa0b8ce6.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0

Valkens Witch Hunters now have a rumour of a chaos spawn location so will be heading towards that over the coming turns, next up is an Orc vs Goblins which will happen sometime next week.

And i have obv forgotten how to get images to show....

Thanks guy's, doing this makes us paint so we are going to have a terrain day soon to improve the look of the unpainted scenery  Embarassed 

Orcs vs Goblins
Occupy

Setup and deployment

Spawn Hunt Campaign 20140605_190835_zps1f681508
Goblins deploy, archers up high in the background
Spawn Hunt Campaign 20140605_190806_zps05f80f86

Orcs deploy, the troll and boss are just behind the building
Spawn Hunt Campaign 20140605_191105_zps3468ee13

Turn One
Goblins move, Squigs roll 2 for movement  Shocked 
Spawn Hunt Campaign 20140605_192140_zps7d5ce594

Orcs move, Troll goes stupid straight away
Spawn Hunt Campaign 20140605_192325_zps036a7f78

Turn Two
The Goblins fail animosity check so do nothing, missing the change to shoot 5 arrows at the Orc Boss. DarkFury was pleased by this. I wasn't.

An Orc henchmen then fails animosity, attacking the only other henchman, neither land a hit.  DarkFury was pleased by this. I wasn't.  Very Happy 

Turn Three
Random Event, cloud of flies causing -1 to all shooting and combat rolls for two turns.
Typical as the Troll is now going to get shot at. The Squigs got an 11 inch move so lined up to receive the Troll, while the archers take up shooting positions. The Skaven Warlock is ready in the background with Sword of Rhezebel cast, the Squig herder and Goblin Shaman are there for the fun of it too.

Spawn Hunt Campaign 20140605_195506_zps95e1425d

Goblin Spearmen line up to take on the Biguns and Orc Shaman  pale 

Spawn Hunt Campaign 20140605_195517_zps980635cc

The Troll steams in as do the Biguns, while the Orc Shaman nukes a Goblin with Fires of Gork.

Spawn Hunt Campaign 20140605_200655_zpsac761526

Spawn Hunt Campaign 20140605_200704_zps7b3e4b98

One Squig dead, one stunned, i hate Trolls.

Spawn Hunt Campaign 20140605_202544_zps9600600d

Spawn Hunt Campaign 20140605_202549_zps4e22f55c

Turn Four
The Skaven Warlock charges the Troll as his Sword was still up, and between him and the Squigs the Troll loses 2 wounds

Spawn Hunt Campaign 20140605_204324_zpscc4519e2

On the other side of the table the goblin spearmen take a Bigun OOA. Two Goblin archers also OOA an Orc henchman meaning the Orcs are at rout test.

Spawn Hunt Campaign 20140605_204329_zpsa23a0da0

In the Orc turn, the the rout test is passed, but the Troll failing stupidity again means the Orcs take a voluntary rout. At +3 underdog xp, and only 5 models left, this was probably a wise decision.

After the game, the Orc Bigun was captured, so rather than sell him back to DarkFury and have him level up twice, i flogged him to slavers  Twisted Evil 

Overall a good game, in which we completely ignored the objective buildings and went straight for the bloodbath again  Cool 

Next battles are decided, the Orcs will be fighting a new undead warband, and the Possessed the Goblins."

One thing we realised is that the "npc" warbands are fighting twice as often as player warbands, so we have had to create two more npc warbands, and when a player rolls an encounter, its randomised which one they fight.

Great to see your minis and terrain without having to log in and follow a link  thumbsup 

I tend to follow the same strategy with Occupy. There is no reward except +1 experience for the leader so why bother with the buildings?

Are your house rules for squig movement (Squigs move as a block) and animosity only for NPC warbands or just general house rules?

A friend and I tried an NPC populated two player campaign a few years back. I had to concede because my 'player' warband was nearly wiped out by the first few games.

lol all our games tend to ignore objectives and go straight for the rout. It's just how we play. Sometimes we try and play clever but it usually degenerates into an all out brawl regardless  Very Happy 

We play Squigs as one roll for move if they are moving together, but separate rolls if the are split up. Makes them a bit more controllable and a lot less dice rolling when you are just trying to get around the board. We also play that they can be "held", so they are not forced to move.

Animosity is just the standard rules for the Orc and Night Goblin Warbands.

I suspect one of us will end up restarting a warband at some point, but at least underdog xp makes up for the imbalance, you just have to take early routs in the first few games.
As the campaign is hunting 5 chaos spawn, a new warband could still manage a good result (well thats the theory, we will see how it plays out). If you catch one, you have to hold onto it for a number of turns giving player warbands a chance to come and fight for it.

COOL LOOKING GAME! Even now I have the tendency to look at the photos & ignore the words. Posting pictures is a great way to encourage painting. From those pieces that are painted, it looks like you'll have an OUTSTANDING gaming table once completed.   thumbsup

Hey, we are finally back to it again, and have played out the next battle, NPC Undead vs DF's Orcs.

The scene of the battle

Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0075_zps4226b698

Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0076_zpsc1755831

Undead starting positions
A gaggle of zombies, 2 ghouls and a necromancer on the ground and two dregs up high
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0077_zps090e0855

Vampire and two dire wolves on the other side
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0078_zpsdc5c317b

Orc starting positions
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0079_zps6aeeaa7b

Turn One
No events, normal weather, and everyone moves up

Turn Two

Dregs shoot and miss a bloody great troll. Typical, but the troll makes a failed charge at the dire wolves
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0083_zps55aa22d6

Turn Three
The Vampires and a dire wolf charged the troll (bravery over common sense im afraid). The Vampire took two wound off the troll, but lost one in return from a vomit attack.
The other dire wolf charged an orc boy and got taken straight OOA. Crying or Very sad
At this point it would have been helpful if i had remembered that zombies cant run, but can charge, sadly i didnt until the game was over.
And what a waste giving dregs bows, they cant shoot for toffee.
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0085_zpsc2085c29

Turn Four
Its Rains Fish! How very Mordheim  Very Happy
It develops into our usual bloodbath, the Vampire gets knocked down, a charging ghoul gets knocked down, an Orc bigun takes out the second dire wolf.
The necromancer is taken OOA by the Shamans zapp spell.
A zombie shambles in front of the Vampire to protect from other charges.
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0087_zps7f290d95

Turn Five
The Undeads luck turned, which it needed to as my dice had been appalling.
A ghoul took the orc bosses charge, and put him OOA, a zombie took the trolls last wound and put him out.
Orc biguns OOA'd a zombie and knocked down a ghoul.
[url=https://s1276.photobucket.com/user/berryq1/media/IMAG0088_zpsfdf4a1fb.jpg.html
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0088_zpsfdf4a1fb[/url]

Turn Six
With the Vampire charging and stunning the Orc Shaman, and 2 zombies stunning 2 orc biguns, the orcs fled the battlefield.
Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0089_zpscf3592ff


Post battle the undead lost a dire wolf and a zombie, while the Orc boss got Hardened, and a free hired sword for their next battle.

Edit: oh and my necromancer lost arm, so the saw and green stuff will have to come out now!

Another all out war which could have gone either way in the last couple of turns.

Thursday night saw The Possessed take on the Goblins in the ruins of Mordheim

The scene of the battle
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0096_zpse470628c" />
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0097_zps806e4fdb" />

Scenario - Occupy
Weather - Normal

Turn 1
The Goblins went first, with the Boss totally forgetting he was a Sneaky Git.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0099_zpsdfde9fa5" />
2 goblin heroes realize their starting position was useless attempt to climb down a 2 inch drop.
Both fall but survive.

The Possessed roll a Random Event
Blood for the Blood God!
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0102_zps8a069e6d" />

Blood for the Blood God!!!! Sadly right near the advancing goblins and squigs who had rolled an 11 inch move.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0103_zps82408782" />

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0105_zps457baabe" />

The Possessed hide like girls from the Bloodletter, but the Magister casts Eye of God on the Possessed and gets +1 to all attributes.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0106_zpsd2f29f0d" />


Turn 2
Another goblin proves he cant climb to literally save his life and goes OOA.
2 arrows fly past the Bloodletter, the Goblin Warlock casts Sword of Rhezebel and moves to block the Bloodletter in a very heroic manner.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0107_zps88512b4e" />

The Possessed move but remain distant to see what happens with the Bloodletter.
The daemon charges the Warlock, missing, the Warlock strikes back, hitting the fearsome beast but failing to wound him. The Warlocks confidence fled at this point.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0108_zpse5341a36" />

Turn 3
The goblins move, but the Warlock, obviously filling his robes by now fails to keep the Sword of Rhezebel cast, and is swiftly cut down by the Bloodletter, who then moves in his turn to engage another goblin hero.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0109_zps11ffd5fe" />

The Possessed charges up a small rocky hill to stun a goblin henchman and the rest move out of cover.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0110_zpsaa4b7cec" />

The Bloodletter returns to the warp, satiated for now.....

Turn 4

The melee really begins, the goblins knock down the Magister and a Gor with accurate (by goblin standards) bow fire. Three spearmen charge the Possessed, one getting knocked down, and a Squig taken OOA by an unknown cultist.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0111_zps3a3e9ac1" />

Turn 5

Goblin archers killed a brethren, the Shaman and Boss charged and killed another Brethren, and the Possessed took out two goblin spearmen. The Magister chareged an archer.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0112_zpse7735f5f" />

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0113_zps3f3663bd" />

Turn 6
The Magister was taken out by the goblin archer, after the other archers finally removed the Possessed from play.
With one model left on the board, this was the end for the Possessed.


Post Game
The goblins lost a squig and a spearman, but the Possessed warband ceased to exist.
The Magister died from his wounds, and the Possessed was captured, and sold by the goblins. A new possessed warband will be starting the search for the chaos spawn soon.

Last night saw Dark Fury's Orcs take on the NPC Goblins in one of the craziest games we have played.

DF got to choose the scenario, and picked surprise attack as it would split up the 19 model goblin warband.
It certainly did that.

Weather - Lightning Storm.

The battlefield
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0114_zps34652970" />
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0115_zps25dee70c" />

Turn 1
Random Event - Sinkhole
Sucks an Orc Bigun trapping him knocked down for the rest of the game. Before anyone had even moved. Now all i needed was for one model to enter on that table edge to get a free OOA. As only a group of 4 goblin archers and the Warlock started on the table, odds were pretty good.

Lighting struck next to the Orc Boss, scaring him into missing this turn.
The Orcs moved, the goblins then wasted their turn with 3 missed bowshots at the Orc Shaman, and the hidden Warlock failing Dread of Aramar on the Shaman as well.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0116_zpsda57b60c" />

Turn 2
A goblin archer got hit by lightning and went OOA.
The Witch, a free hired sword with the Orcs leapt a 1 inch gap, and fell four inches, surviving.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0117_zps01ab200e" />

The Orcs advanced, while the Warlock failed Dread of Aramar on the Orc Boss, and he knew what that meant next.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0118_zpscdc1c82d" />

4 goblin heroes entered the board on the worst possible table edge
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0122_zps9a3d5303" />

Turn 3

An Orc LGT got hit and knocked down by lightning.
The Troll charged and stunned the Warlock, and the Squigs and handler, plus the goblin Shaman came on the board on the second worst table edge.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0123_zps78df1f1d" />
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0124_zps19275c45" />

Turn 4
An Orc archer on a high building, fails animosity and runs towards the enemy, failing to climb down, falling and going OOA.
The Orc Boss charges the stunned Warlock and takes him OOA, but leaves himself open to four goblin heroes with bows, who will all miss  Rolling Eyes
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0127_zps420e7b5b" />

The goblin Boss arrives, fashionably late.

Turn 5

The Troll charges three goblins heroes taking one straight out.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0130_zpseebdf8eb" />

A brave Orc tries a four inch diving charge on the squig herder and makes it knocking him down!
One squig is cursed by the Witch, and one atomised by the Orc Shaman
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0128_zps1ca47f79" />
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0129_zps57993de9" />


The goblin Boss arrived just in time to yell "Ruuuuuunnnnn".


The Orcs lost no one, the goblins lost the experienced Warlock, but gained a free hired sword for the next game.
The Orcs also earned prestige, giving them a rumour for an underground lair used by the Undead.
Map moves were then done to determine the next battles.
Capt Valkens Witch Hunters have encountered the Skaven Assassins, and the new Possessed warband have run straight into Countess Van Dams undead.

we are running four each, two are player warbands which are trying to capture the spawn, and two are "npc".

all map movement is hidden and simultaneous so player player warbands will only fight if they end up in the same location, but every move you have to roll a d6, and on a six you encounter one of the npc warbands.

A bit of a slow report here, we played this one quite a while ago......

Capt Valkens Witch Hunters vs Skaven Assasins

Scenario - Hidden Treasure
Weather - Normal

The battle ground
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0149_zpsio3i2sma" />

Skaven setup on a broad front
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0150_zpsdtybnjyy" />

Valken splits his forces into two main groups, with some ranged firepower up high
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0151_zpsalcn3oqk" />

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0152_zpshdzrqlpt" />

Turn One

The Witch Hunters speedily moved to get to the middle of the board and protect unsearched buildings behind them. The Skaven starting searching buildings on their end immediately

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0154_zpsfltmxpae" />

The heretic burners seem to have the dark side with them.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0155_zpsd1bsr3vu" />


Turn 2

Valken searches the center building and finds the chest!
Witch Hunter Ernst, perched on a high building with his trusty crossbow, took aim at a Skaven Sniper and felled him with his first shot.
Valken counted his chickens before they were hatched at this precise moment.

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0156_zpsez4nvfi2" />

The Skaven, sensing things weren't going to plan moved as fast as possible (which for Skaven is frighteningly fast) to contest the find.
A sinkhole opened up beneath one of the Skaven, knocking him out for the rest of the fight.

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0157_zpsmz4jl78q" />

A blurry sniper (presumably cos he was moving so fat) took up a shooting position his mate had just been felled from by Ernst.
The sneaky rat took a flagellant out with his sling.

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0158_zpsofgogh6v" />


Turn 3

Valken sets up a fighting retreat, ordering everyone who can to shoot at something. Sadly they all missed.

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0159_zpsolwkl3ag" />

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0160_zps67uhl3yf" />

The Skaven plowed into contact, their leader taking out the Warrior Priest Rutger II, a sniper did for Witch Hunter Klaus, and another little rat smeared a flagellant into the cobbles.

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0161_zpsdgh5gqpz" />

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0163_zpsfpi9zvfo" />

Capt Valkens chickens fled the scene at this change of fortunes.


Sadly i didnt note down the post game results, but i think Valkens men survived, meaning they are still deep in the city heading for the rumoured location of a spawn.

The next one, coming soon , is the Possessed against Countess Van Dammes undead.

Possessed (new) vs Countess Van Dam's Undead

Scenario- Chance Encounter
Weather- Normal

Undead start with 3 wyrdstone, Possessed with 1

The Battlefield

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0199_zpsgrlvmhqa" />
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0198_zpsp3ietx3v" />


Setup
The four model Possessed started as close as possible, the dregs with bows took up shooting positions, Van Dam and her Direwolf setup to flank with zombies and necro backing them up, and three ghouls ready to go forwards under the building the dregs occupied.

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0201_zpsbpwr0byq" />


Turn 1
Van Dam got the initiative, and the dregs loosed three arrows at the magister, but couldn't hit a thing.
The Possessed move towards the Countess and Direwolf that have stupidly moved behind them away from the covering fire and supporting zombies.

Turn 2
An attempted recovery of the situation from Van Dam, she moves back, the zombies shamble forwards, and the dregs sprint across the walkway to try and get into a shooting position.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0204_zpsddlfcs5e" />

The Possessed creature charges Van Dam, but gets intercepted by the DireWolf, which survives 4 attacks, getting stunned.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0205_zpskhci7x41" />

Turn 3
Two zombies make it into contact with the Possessed, just trying to pin it down for a few turns.
Van Dam charges a Dark Soul.
Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0206_zpshbgn6dnt" />

When the dice are rolled, Van Dam took the Dark Soul straight OOA, and a zombie ended the possessed's day with a critical hit!

The Possessed voluntarily routed as one of their two heroes was down.

Post Game
The Undead walk off with 4 shards from the scenario, and 5 more from exploration.
The Possessed get a single shard, everyone survives but the Possessed is blinded in one eye.

We are going to change up the campaign rules to get more fights in as warbands are only fighting on a 6 every turn, meaning prestige is slow to gain, and rumours of spawn locations coming equally slowly.

PostSubject: going underground......   Spawn Hunt Campaign Icon_minitimeThu 26 Mar 2015 - 23:41

Orc warband had a rumour of a Goblin underground lair, so went down to whale on the smaller greenskins.

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0210_zpsw81luasi" />

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0209_zpsnitczwzt" />

Setup
Goblins setup first in the middle four tiles, spread out as they dont know where the Orcs will come from.

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0211_zpsx1dwhg79" />

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0212_zpsfb7ihgyr" />

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0213_zpsrj6i450p" />

The Orcs arrive in two groups

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0215_zpsbs9inqjo" />

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0216_zps67cfeh3g" />


Turn 1
The Orcs get first turn and move up, some wading through the water which slows them and the troll down.
The orc shaman gets Fires of Gork off at two goblin heroes, but doesn't do any damage. An Orc archer shoots but misses.

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0219_zpst0wo6ncg" />

The other group leaves one Orc shouting at the wall as anger gets the better of him

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0218_zpsdcae3awu" />

Goblin archers and their pet warlock (with Silver Arrows) move to setup a little ambush

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0220_zpsyunntvz9" />

A group of Spearmen with the Shaman in support move to get inbetween both Orc groups

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0221_zpsnlloz53a" />

Others try to reposition to meet the Orc threat.

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0223_zpsypepvx7b" />

Two goblin heroes with bows get a couple of shots at the Orc shaman but miss. This will cost them very dearly in the turns to come.

Turn 2

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0225_zps4c6gvo7p" />

Orcs and troll move up, the Shaman casts FOG again, taking one goblin hero OOA, and knocks another down.

Two Orc Biguns, an archer and their pet Witch round the corner into the waiting trap,  The Goblins then fail their animosity test, so cant react at all to the Orcs movements. The only unaffected one is the Warlock, and he fails to cast his Silver Arrows just to add to the total inactivity.

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0226_zpsmuclh2xr" />

Turn 3

The Orcs charge the static goblins and move up in other areas

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0227_zpsmjr8y2tf" />

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0229_zpszxq0m1ws" />

An Orc archer OOA's a spearman,the Shaman casts FOG again and stuns a hero.
The Orc biguns charge the goblin heroes and knock one down, and take another OOA.


The goblins move, the Skaven Warlock cast Silver Arrrows at an Orc archer, 7 of them, and doesnt get a single wound.

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0231_zpsu5g8rjie" />

Spawn Hunt Campaign <a href=Spawn Hunt Campaign IMAG0230_zpsjxmk54qx" />

Turn 4

The Orcs end it quickly.
The troll charges a squig knocking it down.
The shaman cast FOG again and OOA's a squig, also knocking down the squig herder.
A Bigun charges the Skaven warlock and takes him out.
With 6 members out before half the warband is even in a position to help, the goblins rout.
