John K--Da Mob

There is not too much Green diversity in warband choice although none of Da Mobs has the same approach. Kevin and Brittany were away this week, so maybe next week will see a few different warbands (there are still rumors of goblins).


Da Lobba
The Savages fought Da Shakiest Shoota Boyz

Mr. L is going for the shoota mob again.  Its working about as well as it did last year.

Chris's unpainted pirate mob, is now a savage mob...  And my stuff is mostly in storage so no lobba.




Da Shakiest Shoota Boyz still cain't hit nuffin'.


Da Shakiest Shooties take 'em down the hard way.






Oh, oh...White Orcs!


Da Shakiest Shootas wuz doin' purty good, but dem White Orc boyz decide not ta run.  Shakiest run after a bit.

Da Shakiest lose a big un an' da gobbos and da squig.

Random event was goblin peddler
I had Chris on the ropes but I failed my rout test first.
I captured Chris' boss Orc but ransomed him back for 50gc.
Orc Big 'Un: Da Major died
Goblins: Lil' Pete and Lil' Repeat both died
Cave Squig: Da Mouth died.

I replaced Da Major and Lil' Pete

Da White Orcs lose one Nutta.  Da Whites encounter a Peddla.

Street Brawl
Da Gutrippas versus da Grey an' da darker Grey

Nameless da Troll fight da darker Grey (skinks for goblins).






Da Greys wuz safe.




But day get dere


One of da huts collapsed but no body wuz rubbed out.

Da Gutrippas scamper with da too boyz down.  Cookie gain attack.

Da darker Greys lose like 3 gobbos.

Da Greys win, (cuz dey gits!)

Conclusions and such:
~~Havin' da Troll did na do much good. Everyone ganged up on da ladz, an' da Nameless go stupid.
~~Of the six goblins dat start da campaign, 5 die inna first game! Ditto da one squig.
~~All da Mobs do a little bit different:
--Da Shakiest Shootas iz trying da shooty orc thing again. Its working a little worse than last year...
--Gitrippas: See above for troll thoughts.
--Da Greys got a humie Warlock. Dey win, but likely cause o' how da set up worked out.
--Da Dark Greys try ta do EVERYTHING, shoot/fight/goblins

Von Kurst,

What a cool idea for a campaign, only greenskinz allowed!
Looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for posting the pictures. Keep em coming.

Thank you Reolus.

Surprise Attack
Da White Savages ambush da Greys

Dis iz kinda confuzin' cause both sides gots da white heroes and da grey henchies...




Da White Savages runned away.  Greys win.  During the fight the event Power o' da Waagh! happened, but no body blowed up.

No deaths to report. Had a big'un get his eye gouged out. And two boys became heroes.

Roundup at da Big Toof Corral
A Big Toof variant of Roundup at the Mordheim Corral fought between Da Shakiest Shootas, Da Gutrippas an' Da Dark Greyz

Historical Note:  Last year Mr L's warband lost this scenario 5 times out of 5...

Da Shakiest Shoota Mob looks over da fight.


While da boarz mutate an' stomp gitz, Nameless da Troll sing a happy song an' do nuffin'...


Da Dark Greyz tame too boarz (an get sorta stomped on in da process).

Mr. L wrote:

I left as my Orc Shaman Sparky died.
Hired Sparky II
My warband rating is now lower than before the 2 games, and with less greenskins.

Da Shakiest Shootaz did gain 2 wyrdstone by killing da boar wot did fer Sparky.

Da Gutrippas lost Da Headtaka kilt ded by a boar wit a scorpion tail. (I wanted to capture that boar pretty bad.  Oh well.)  In exploration dey spend 5 teef on bad fungus beer...

Da Dark Grey Mob gained 5 wyrdstone an' too boarz!  An uppity git gobbo iz kilt fer gettin' airs beyond hiz self.

Number of Gobbos inna campaign: 8
Number of Gobbos klit inna campaign so far: 7
Number of Gobbos kilt by Nameless da Troll: 3
Big Toof: hard on Gobbos an' Snotz

See youse next week!

COOL STUFF! Da Guys wot are painted are LOOKIN' GOOD! Demz wat ain't are lookin' gray or white...the one wit out the head is lookin' poor.  

John wins the Memorial Bob award for Headless Orcs this year, at least if Bob remains AWOL...
John is also following the Boar Path that Chris' White Orcs followed last year.
Chris is following the Lenglade Path of Dead Heroes...

Big Toof II--Chance Encounters

Jake L--Da Mob

John K--Da Mob

Da Chance Encounters
We started the evening with four players. We split into 2 separate fights, but both rolled the same scenario...

Da Shakiest versus Da Gutrippas

Gutrippas have 2 wyrdstone shards, Shaky gits gots 3.
Da Gutrippas


Da Shakiest Shootas back away an' tries ta hide.




Da Gutrippas fall inna trap! (I forgot Flagon was a hero... My first charge ends with a hero and a henchman ooa... And a failed rout test is next. Short game.)
A Press Ganga is kilt
Flagon survives.

No Shakys is even hurt a little. Shakys get 4 shards plus exploration for income. An find a Drunken Gobbo wat dey welcome into da tribe as well.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Da Dark Grey versus Da Gray Tribe. No idea how many shards each warband had.
Da Dark Greyz (wit der skink gobbos...)


Da Greyz wit white heroes



By now both tribes are suffering the event BAD OMENS. No one can hurt anyone, but lots of dice are being rolled.




One or the other tribe just give up as soon as dey can, cause da game drag on. Bad Omens may need a bit of a re-write. Might be Da Greyz wot lose. Hard ta tell. An Uppity Gobbo might have been kilt as well (John would have 6 heroes if gobbos could be heroes...)

More mutating boars to come...

Bad Omens sounds like an average Congressional session; i.e., a lot of noise & time with nothing accomplished. That aside, COOL LOOKING GAMES despite all the gray...mostly.

Thanks Al. I don't know why I can never anticipate how annoying it is to re-roll EVERY successful roll... I'm just evil I guess.
(That and the fact that if I include an annoying event, it will be the most rolled event. (NEVER seen the wild squig herd or the loose ball and chain fanatic rolled at all...)
_________________________________________________________________________________
Chaos at the Big Toof Corral
The Greys and Da Dark Greys go at it again. Dis time in the next installment of da Great Boar Warz.

Dere wuz 4 duppy boarz, see.


Da Dark Grey shaman tries ta tame da boar...


So does da Grey shaman...


3 boarz wandered (or charged) inta da Dark Greyz, dis un draw lotz o' Dark Greyz.


Da Dark Grayz fail da first rout test. Dey still gitz 2 boars. Da Grayz got one, an one was kilt. (not sure if da Gray boar lived or not. It wuz beat up a bit.) No deaths are reported as the rout wuz caused by gitz leavin' da table wit boarz, not scrappin'.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Da Monster Hunt
Da White Savages versus Da Shakiest Shootaz an' Da Gutrippaz

(Chris showed up just as our first game ended and the Bad Omens game only had one boyz out of action. So we just started a 3-player.)
Da Whites


Dere a Chimera inna a ruin!






Da Shootaz spend a LONG time out flanking da Gutrippaz... But it works


Da Gobbo fails da animosity and fights da White heroes. (Da Shootaz lose da gobbos and da squig dis to da White heroes)


Dis iz da Squig Hound event, wot almost kill a White hero...


Cookie finally cast Ger' Off on da Chimera, pushing it into da Shoota boyz.






Den da git Shoota boyz shoot da Cookie and da Gutrippaz run.


Da Gutrippaz run first wit da Cookie an Yo 'and da Nife ooa. Gimp da Pressganga die. Cookie and Yo 'and get betta.

Da Savage fight ta da end, cause da Shootaz' boyz git real killy wit dem daggerz. One Eye da Spotta becomes Old No Eye an' retire, like. Brute Numba ONE get rubbed out. An' da Utter Nutta get rubbed out too.

Da Shakiest Shootaz hang on ta take da Chimera down. No body die. Da Shakyz gain 11 teef an' a helmet. (ONE 4+ out of ELEVEN attempts! A new record)

Dat all 'til next week.

On da painted minis score: da first game boasted a Lizard Guy possibly a Gay Gecko.
Da second had a PROPA LOOKIN' Mob of Orc Guyz. WELL DONE, those Guyz!
Both were GREAT GAMES from my perspective!

Looks like a fun campaign -- but I have to say, what really gets me feeling all warm & fuzzy is the sight of indestructible cardcraft scenery filling up the board. Relics of Gorkamorka are fitting obstacles for ork mobs!

Thanks gents!

Rhydderch@I think only Chris and John actually played Gorkamorka (but the card scenery is all Mr. L's).  Also represented is The Idol of Gork campaign pack (huts, ruins and idols).

I do hope to have some crazy chariot Gorkamorkaness, but only time will tell on that.  (I have two events and exploration results that can result in a warband acquiring a chariot.)

Number of Gobbos inna campaign Week 2: 6
Number of Gobbos klit inna campaign so far: 8
Number of Gobbos kilt by Nameless da Troll: 3

Observations about da Orcs an stuff:
~Nameless da Troll draw a lot of fire.  Folks are remembering to shoot Grootka da Boss.  Not good.  Grootka T5 now though, so its a bit harder for 'em.
~I really have no idea what to do with the Nameless.  Da ladz keep dyin', which wuz not inna plan.  Gutrippaz iz da smallest warband.  Alwayz gettin' mobbed!
~Cookie no can roll above 6!  Make his spell useless.
~Stupid Dark Grayz gots 4 boar now.  Not good.

Idol of Gork, that's the name I was looking for. I knew I recognised the huts & idol, I just couldn't remember the pack name.

Chariot-based Gorkamorkaness would be... interesting. Especially if you followed the old Gorkamorka rule that a vehicle can carry as many models as will physically fit.

Gobbos don't seem to be coming out of this campaign well. Or at all, if those death numbers keep up.

Big Toof Too--Da Three Amigo

Players and Warbands
Chris S--Savage Orcs (Karak Azgul)
Jim L--Da Mob
Jim S--Da Mob

So John and Jake had other engagements this week.  (John had to do a "podcast" ???)

Catch Da Snotz
A Green variant of da Sartosa Pressgang scenario

Dere wuz 6 or 7 potential snotz, but it dark, so dem snotz might not BE snotz.

Inna dark, Flagon try ta stab ol' B' Ley inna back.


Da White Savages




Da Shakiest Shootaz


Bunglin' inna dark


Da Shakiest Shootaz ogre attack da Savage Squig Hound (dats a Squig Hound, really)


Da Shakiest Shootaz ogre win (until next turn, lotz o' Savages dere)


More bunglin' inna dark (at one point all 6 Gutrippa heroes were knocked down either because they tripped in the dark or were pushed over by the maddened crowd.  There was a crowd or orc an goblin towns folk, honest.)


One o' dem snotz wuz a squig!


Dis snot wuz a mean Red Toof gobbo.  (Kilt da git ded)




Savages tries ta out flank da Shaky gitz. (Its dark and windy, all dem arrows iz nothin')


Gangin' up on da Shaky gobbos


End game.  Headtaka try ta scrag Sparky II


Da Savages run early.  One of 'em may have been kilt.  Dey caught a squig, an 2 snotz.

Da Shakiest Shootaz take some convincin' but scram too.  Da Hired Ogre named Tiny get kilt, so do a gobbo name Little Pete II.  Shakys catch a Red Toof gobbo.
An orc boy named Da Loon become da first LGT Shaky hero.

Nobody die on da Gutrippa side.  Gutrippaz capture a squig (out of 6 possible snotz, only 2 snotz were actually encountered), but kill a Red Toof.  All 6 heroes survive a game for once.  Gutrippaz win first game!

More orciness to come...

I know, right?
_________________________________________________________________________________
Big Toof Treasure Hunt

We had time for two multi-player games!  The second game also took place at night (because the Savages fear the Shakiest Shootaz 3 crossbows.  This phobia has no basis in reality, I think the most they have ever done is stun Cookie da Shaman...)

So we faced off in the dark as it were, searching for the wyrdstone that had recently fallen on Big Toof...
Da White Savages


Da Shakys got dis close to wyrdstone...(Note da troll is both new and doing nothing but resting.)


OK.  Dey got dis close...an den da Savages hit 'em.


An' den da BAD OMENS happen... (This time I tried "Bad Omens cause all henchmen who are not animals or immune to psychology to count as STUPID as the henchmen try to appease the gods with prayers and ritual.")

Den da Nameless hit da flank


Mr L caves to peer pressure and attacks with his 4 attack "shooty" Boss.  Boss no hit nuthin'.




Da Gutrippaz view


Da Shakys leg it otta dere.  

A Nutta and da White Shaman (dats da git wit da spear) gang up on Nameless cuz he stoopid...


Yo'and da Nife show dat Nutta not ta pick on da stoopid.


So da Shakiest Shootaz got ganged up on and pounded.  Dey flee wit Sparky II out of action.  An orc boy called Da Smell got kilt, ded.  Fish Head da Troll did nuffin', like not even move once.  Da Shakys git no treasure or wyrdstone or nuffin'.

Da Savages had dere squig go wild on da first turn, cuz dey ain't got no gobbos.  Da Savages cut up da Shakys wit no hurts, but den tings go wrong.  Da Savage Boss got shot and dey bug out.  A Nutta an' da Squig Hound git kilt, ded.  Da Savages steal 3 wyrdstone though.
A Brute get da Ladz got da Talent.

Da Gutrippa win again!  Datz 2 fights won!  Nobody git hurt much, so nobody die.  Da Gutrippas capture 4 wyrdstones and make lotz o' teef.  More boyz, more stuff!
_________________________________________________________________________________
So after three weeks it look like dis:
Da Greyz~~~~~~~Win 3/Lose 1
Da Dark Greyz~~~~Win 2/ Lose 2 (Gotz 4 boars, too!)
Da Shakiest Shootaz~Win 2/Lose 4 (2 heroes kilt, ded)
Da Gutrippaz~~~~~~Win 2/Lose 4 (1 hero kilt, ded)
Da White Savages~~Win 1/Lose 4 (1 hero kilt, 1 go blind)

Number o' gobbos left alive: 7
Number o' gobbos kilt ded so far: 10
Number o' gobbos kilt by Nameless da Troll: 3

So NEXT week I already know that Chris is going to be out of town...

UBERCOOL STUFF! It looks like Nameless scared the color right out of his opponents...good excuse anyway:

Hehe, I got the "Nameless"-mini myself somehow. Always wanted to make a Slann out of him. But then I'm not into Lizardmen, so...
Great idea to go for all-greenskins-warbands. I want to talk my buddies into something like that with all Vampire or all Skaven.
Where does this Bad Omens rule come from? Maybe you explained, but I vouldn's find it browsing the reports here.

We tried the all-undead a few years ago, but one player (who often plays undead) wouldn't go along.  Will never know why...

Sorry about the Bad Omens reference.  Its a made up Random Happening that I originally used in our Pyrates of the Karribean games.

Quote :

55 Bad Omens

For the rest of the battle all non-animal warriors of each warband must re-roll all successful die rolls, (to hit, to wound, armor saves, Initiative tests, Leadership tests, etc.). The omens do not affect the Post Battle sequence.

I was going to change it after last year's Big Toof campaign (when Chris and I would play endless games plagued by Bad Omens) but I forgot.

Changing to:

Quote :

All henchmen that aren't animals or immune to psychology now count as suffering from Stupidity as they mill around and call on the gods to save them from the Bad Omens."

As mentioned above, we tend to roll annoying events for game after game, but never get the one that will give you cool stuff...

Big Toof Too--Four for Four

Players and Warbands
Chris S--Savage Orcs (Karak Azgul)
Jim L--Da Mob
Jim S--Da Mob
John K--Da Mob

Chris did not miss game night (although now he says he WILL miss this week). Either way there were four of us.

A Street Fight in Big Toof
Da White Savages tangle with Dark Grayz

There was a bumbling, tumbling fight over a narrow street complicated by a burning building event and lots of animosity and a large crowd of panicked orcs and goblins. The tide swayed back and forth and then the game was over. I thought that da Dark Grayz won, but the White Savages claim the victory (or at least don't argue when da Dark Grayz says dat dey lost).

Not sure if anybody die. The Boar Rider picked up another injury or two, but his boar lived, so life go on.

Catch Da Snotz
Da Shakiest Shootaz versus da Dark Grayz

Lotz o' Dark Grayz


Purty Shakyz. (Not as many though)


A skink wot iz a gobo fight wit a squig (wot iz a squig).




Lotz o' Grayz beat on Shakyz


Dat big fox iz a ogre.


Fishface and da Boss fight da Boar Rida!


Fish Face down!


Goblin Bandits (an event) ambush da Shakyz!


Da Shakiest Shootaz fleez wit lots out of da action. No idea any of dem die or not (cuz dem player gitz don't tell nuffin!)

Da Dark Grayz winz (ain't no question). No idea any of dem die either. Da Boar Rida get betta again, or he get more hardened, sumfing like dat.

More stuff comin'...

The scenery & those minis that are painted look SPLENDID. COOL STUFF!

Thanks Al.

A Chance Big Toof Encounter
Da Gutrippaz run inta da White Savages

Da Gutrippaz started wit da loot. 3 loots. Den dey meet da White Savages an' da Savages dey mess up Yo'and da Knife. Take a loot. So when da dust settle (or da Troll fallz), da White Savages haz 2 loot an' da Gutrippaz haz 2 loot.

News: Da Savages shoot now. Gotz a BS 5 git, wot cain't miss. Shooty Git backed up by 3 utta gitz wit da bows. At least more fights take place inna day now...

Yo'and wuz ROBBED! (Well, duh!) Each warband lose da squig, too. (The photographer wuz distracted by da gobbo bandits, so no pics.)
_________________________________________________________________________________
Catch Da Snotz!
Da Gutrippaz an' da Dark Grayz

A uppity gobbo pull da knife on Yo'and da Nife. Takes da Pressganga ta discourage da git (Yo'and wuz bob-u-lated by da robbery).


Da Dark Grayz surge forward.

Gutrippaz left flank, an' da gitz onna roof.


Da Gutrippaz form a line. I likes lines


Da enemy. Inna distance ye ken sees da fight on da ramp.


A close up o' Da Fight on da Ramp.


Da event Loose Mule leads to da event Da Red Eye Raidaz. Nobody git in dem Red Eyez way...

Da Dark Grayz haz da bad luck. Dey get a couple o' snotz, but da Big Shaman he go Mad an' get da Chest Wound. Some gitz may haz croaked, too, but da sadz wuz mainly fer da Big Shaman.

Da Gutrippaz so lucky, do no wrong. Nobody die. Capture 3 squigs, a gobbo and a Red Toof gobbo!
_________________________________________________________________________________
Comin' soon, Da Last Roundup of Week Four...

There are some STUNNING creations scatter through the BEAUTIFUL terrain...there was even one unpainted Fellow with an ample amount of character & a boat load of potential (the Big Guy brandishing the bone thingies in the last pic). AND it sounded like fun as well. OUTSTANDING STUFF!  

Thanks Al.  Some of the new GW orcy things that are not called orcs are pretty cool.  BIG though.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Round Up at da Big Toof Corral
Da White Savages and da Shakies Shootaz scrap wit boarz.

Der wuz lotsa boarz!  (I count 7...)  


Sum git shot a boar!


Da Savages git charged!


Iffen I wuz rollin' dis git be toast!  (As it were not so much)


Four fer da Shakys!  (Dis won't last.)




See...






Not many Shaky left...


Da fight end wit da store closin' draw:

Jim L. wrote:

 Da Ladz gotz Talent git, Da Loon, died.
I did capture 3 boars but skills are VERY scarce and no rider skills as yet

I expect da Savages got rich (at least in boarz) as well.

Comin' soon:  Week Five---More Boarz, fewer playerz

HOORAY THE BOARS WON!...sort of.

Big Toof Too--Two otta Five

Players and Warbands
Jim L--Da Mob (Da Shakiest Shootaz)
Jim S--Da Mob (Da Gutrippaz)

Too much real life happening in our part of the woods.

Still we Jims did the rampant escapism game thing rather than cower in the darkness.

Roundup at da Big Toof Corral

So dere wuz five runaway, wyrdstone munching boarz loose in da Big Toof.  But da brave Gutrippaz an' da Shakys went right afta da boarz...

3 boarz go da Gutrippaz way, 2 go at da Shakys.


Big scrap inna middle, Sparky II go down agin


Squig an' gobbo fightin' off ta da flank




Not pictured but purty funny: a Shaky orc beat up da Shaky gobbo wot suppoz ta he'p drag away a boar.  Doze gitz scrap all game!

End game: da Shakys bring da Gutrippaz more duppy stones, but da Shakys no give 'em up!


Wit dere last heroes surrounded, like, da Shakys bug out! (Da Gutrippa have 'em 4 ta 1.  Not only don't hurt da gitz, lose Yo'and da Nife!  Shameful.)

Jim L wrote:

Goblins, Lil' Pete III and da Popper rubbed out.

Yo'and got Lil' Pete III.  An' B'Ley shot da Popper.  'Cause wez no hurt da Boss an' da Mahor...

Da Shakiest Shootaz collect a Spiney Boar an' a Tentacled Boar.  An' 2 o' dem duppy stones.  Sparky get da Horrible Scarz an' learn ta ride da boar.  Da Mahor, he ride da boar, too.

Da Gutrippaz capture a Spiney Boar an' a Black Blood Boar an' 5 o' dem duppy stones.  Yo'and hate da Facerippa Boss git.  Headtaker, he learn ta ride da boar.
