The countdown continues

I've been home sick for the past 3 days, thanks in part to someone who felt coming to work sick showed their 'work ethic'. Needless to say, that's where I picked up this cold & between coughing & blowing of the nose, managed to get 4 more Zombies finished.

2 Runners

As well as 2 Fatties

I will be taking a minor break from painting more Zombies, & am working on some Star Wars Imperial Assault figures for one of my gaming buddies.
 

Back to the Zombies!

Another light week, with only 2 more Zombicide Zombies getting completed, as well as another Skeleton for Frostgrave.

Here we have another Walker & Runner.

I am quite aware I should be getting a few more of these done during my painting sessions, however I've never been a fast painter & am my worst enemy when it comes to distractions. 

However I also got another of the old Citadel Skeletons figures finished.

 
Back to my current distractions; I have 10 Mantic Ghouls on the go (we are quite short on these for our Frostgrave Campaign. I have also started work on some large slug critters from Brimstone (which I will use as either Giant Worms or create a creature based on them), most likely they will be used in 'The Worm Hunts' scenario which will be forthcoming in a couple months.

As well there is the new variant of Necromunda which has everyone in a tizzy to get kill teams done up for, so I had to stop by the local game store to see what caught my eye for that. Certainly not lacking for things to do hobbywise.

Oh & did I mention it was that time of year when the Stanley Cup playoffs are on & we actually have 5 Canadian teams in the race for it, which includes the Ottawa Senators (the team I root for).

Thanks for stopping by!

Frostgrave - The Silent Tower

Our campaign continues, with our 4th foray into Felstad. This week we played the Silent Tower scenario. We had 4 warbands take part.

The warbands come across a ruined tower that makes the spell users feel unsettled. They can feel that the tower is a null field, where no magic will work, & yet they know that a great treasure lies at the top.

 

The aftermath found the warbands with the following;

Ludwig - 130xp, 20gp & a 2 handed weapon with +2 Damage (which he sold to collect 400gp). Stefan misses next game. Ludwig suffered a bad wound requiring 100gc to heal.

Innovar - 355xp, 40gc. +2 Damage Hand weapon; Purp misses game, Innovar suffers a close call, Erot is slain.

Bob - 580xp, 20gc, +1 Ring of Protection, Tofer slain.

Eben - 290xp, 400gc; Borke misses game

Pulped in Pulp Alley

We descended on the club for another round of Pulp Alley. We were going to replay the scenario last played, where one faction (consisting of 2 groups) were to escort the Big Man across the table. The Plot points would either add or subtract movement depending who collected it.

I chose to play the trio of terror consisting of The Shadow, Hornet & Kato.

The table is set, the game is afoot!

Kato is deployed early & moves towards a plot point (the crates)

As the gangsters held the initiative, I had all my characters on board, before the onslaught of thugs. The Shadow is spotted & the bullets begin to fly!

On the opposite side of the table, the beat cops become engaged in fisticuffs.

The Hornet unlocked a plot point on the second turn. This gave the big man an extra 6" of movement.

As the police flooded the street on the opposite end, Kato forgoes snagging a plot point to lay the smack-down on Spats Mulligan

The brawl continues.

The second group of gangsters had a free hand of movement, with little opposition. However one of the shotgun armed cops engaged them.

Alas, the thugs managed to snag 2 plot points. The challenge turned out to be a bit of a joke & was easily overcome.

By turn 6, the police had failed the mission. Both the Hornet & Kato were down & out, leaving me with just the Shadow. Our after game discussion realized that allowing the second group of gangsters free reign to snag plot points was our undoing.

Until we meet again! Mwahahahaahhaha
 

Dragging this out

Not a super productive weekend of painting, as I took the opportunity of nicer weather to get a bunch of things primed & prepped.

However I did manage to eek out 2 more of the Zombicide Black Plague Zombies, a Walker & Fatty.

With the wealth of space on the Fatty figures I am debating trying some checker patterns, but we shall see. After these 2, there are 28 more to go, some of which are on the paint table as I type. I've also been working on glueing together some Mantic Ghouls & some Brimstone Swamp Slugs for use as Worms in Frostgrave.

Looking forward to another game of Pulp Alley tomorrow night at the club!
