Our latest campaign game was scenario 2 from the Thaw of the Lich Lord which basically was a battle over the still partially frozen river.
Again we had 5 warbands fighting over this area of Felstad.
Bob the Elementalist
Eben the Enchanter
Malcron the Summoner
Innovar the Chronomancer
Ludwig the Elementalist
The scenario was pretty much as per the campaign book, 4 treasures randomly placed. At the beginning of the 3rd turn creature phase, an agent of the Lich Lord exits from one of the ends of the central shipwreck & attempts to make of with a 'special treasure'
Of course as in all Frostgrave games, nothing goes as planned.
So ends another thrilling adventure. The spoils of each of the bands were as follows;
Ludgwig (Chen) - 395xp, 30gc, Crystal Rose, Scrolls - Write Scroll, Scattershot, Raise Zombie.
Malcron (Jonathan) - 205xp, 150gc, Grimoire - Fools Gold. Blew & Bernie killed.
Innovar (Craig) - 255xp, 30gc, Potions - Healing (x2), Strength. Purp, Slip badly wounded (miss game).
Bob (Scott) - 385xp, Boots of Leaping, Scarf of Obscurance.
Eben (Me) - 180xp. No treasures. Lorin, Ogden badly wounded (miss game).
As I look at the development of my 'comic' stories, I think I will begin to capture an overall image of the field at the beginning of each turn as I feel that it will aid readers into seeing or knowing roughly where the events told are occuring. I see how the images may confuse those looking at them as they piece together the bigger battle.
As a group, we have decided to do 2 more games for this campaign. Eben will be level 80 after this scenario & with our casting costs so low, its nigh impossible for them to fail. Our conversations lend to perhaps running campaigns that last perhaps 10 scenarios max before determining a winner.
We shall see! Thanks for taking the time to visit the blog.
Well once again I am off to a shambling start at best, only getting 1 miniature done for the start of Zomtober.
To be fair however I did get all of this months chosen rebased, so had to watch a lot of hours slip by while waiting on glue to dry thoroughly.
Enough excuses however, here is Kat, a character from the Z War Damnation core box.
So what I can tell, this lass dual wields 44 Magnum's & sports a Katana for the up close & personal side of things.
The fact she can fire a 44 Magnum single handed, I take my hat off to her. I near broke my wrist when trying the same stunt when I had that opportunity. Perhaps that's why she is wearing the wrist bands.
Normally my painting days are Sundays, so once the Turkey hits the oven today, I hope to get some more zombie time in downstairs.
Thanks for checking in!
As I move into Zomtober, I had a couple of miniatures almost to completion. So I took a bit of time to complete them.
Here are 2 of the Reaper Bones Great Apes.
Again, I don't hold to doing stuff in a winter scheme as I want to cross-purpose them for numerous games. Thus these 2 brutes will do well for both Frostgrave & Ghost Archipelago. As well they can be used in numerous other systems. For Bones figures these were quite nice!
As the last day of September dawns, & the temperature is below 0, its time to get ready for Zomtober!
I was poking around seeing what I have, ok, more like moving piles of unpainted stuff to see what I would focus on thats Zombie related this year.
As there is a new Kickstarter running for Z War One, I decided maybe I would get the core box figures painted for this game & run it at the club.
So while it was still warm, I pulled the figures, did some clean-up & got them primed. There are 4 player characters
As well as 18 Zombies. Surely I can get these done in a month?
First up though I will need to do their bases. Not a fan of these small thick ones, as with all my miniatures I like to be able to cross purpose them. Today will be spent getting the basing done & glued. Next weekend we shall see as Zomtober kicks off!
Bruce brought out his Congo stuff as a playtest for his running of it at Fallcon this weekend.
We had 4 players vying to find the golden banana's. This would be accomplished either by sheer luck, or by deducing its location via clues found in various terrain features.
Now I will not reveal where the Banan's were found, however clues would provide either a Latitude, Longitude, Exit Location or Feature where the Banana's were NOT.
I had the African Tribe faction with a Chieftain & Witch Doctor.
What's this? Stinking Nazi's!
The gathering of clues continues. Chen sends one of his units amongst a collection of huts & awakens some Cannibals.
Maybe this guy up here know's something. His clothes make him appear important! Most of the clues lay within dangerous areas which when entered by non scout units would prompt a potential random event.
Alas, Bruce had forgotten his trees & had grabbed the wrong bin, so I said, perhaps these were quicksand pools.
After recieving some fire, I managed to charge into one of Chen's units, pushing it back with some losses. The camera crew were impressed with this new 'Reality TV' they were filming.
The banana's were found & the chase began, as 1 unit died, another snagged the banana's only to find themselves the target of many terror rolls. The Nazi's meet their demise at the hands of some native muskets.
Chen won the game with a daunting lead of VP's from killing units & cannibals. Good luck with the game in Calgary Bruce!
This eve I completed 3 Reaper Bones Trolls to use for my Frostgrave Critters.
Initially I thought these would go fairly quick, as I finished painting their flesh...but then I soon realized there was quite a bit of detail on these 'Bones' figures.
About 8 hours later, these are the finished results.
So that's it for this quick post before I head off to bed. Tomorrow night it's off to the club for some Congo being hosted by Bruce.
Thanks for stopping by.
