Road to Mordheim - River Pirates

Today we had 6 of us out to play the River Pirates scenario.

 


With the addition of 2 new players to the league, it was the Dwarf Treasure Hunters who drew the short straw & were located at the docks, getting their cargo from the River Pirates.


 The Unfetttered arrive!

 


Another of the new warbands (Bretonnian) caught sight of some Chaos Hounds emerging from behind a rock....they took a couple of pot shots at them....that was soon to be discovered to not have been a good idea.

 


After initially dispatching 1 of the hounds, the Bretonnians were quickly surrounded & fighting for their lives.

 


The end was nigh for the Bretonnians, as the Minotaur ran up & sliced the Knight Errant, causing an 'old wound' result to him.

 


The Sisters moved down the road towards the docks, lobbing stones at anyone near enough.

 


They soon closed in, after taking a grapeshot volley from the swivel gun. The dwarf treasure hunters were moving away with crates, hoping that the pirates would engage the sisters long enough for them to escape.

 


At the other end of the battlefield. Skaven were mixing it up with squigs....& not doing too well. They ended up getting locked in with them & never made it much further towards the loot.

 


With the beastmen beginning to arrive near the docks, the Sisters were able to take down an ungor, & were delighting when the remainder fled back into the trees.

 


The Skaven & squigs continue the melee!

 


The dwarves run into a Goblin Archery line

 


And are soon squeezed from behind by the Sisters arrival.

 


Grabbing several crates, the sisters were heading away from the battle. However with the felling of another of their band...the triangle sounded & the sisters fled, a couple of them dropping their crates in their haste to depart.

 


The Greenskins managed to hold out to defeat the Dwarves  after several solid morale saves, winning them the field.

 

Thanks to those who came out today!

    1. I think the Dwarves saw their chance with the Orcs & Skaven getting locked in...they made their way towards that end of the table...but are they slow!

  4. Slightly late to the party, but it is fantastic to see Mordheim battle reports. You wouldn't know where to find the River Pirates scenario nowadays? Neither broheim nor Mordheimer seems to acknowledge its existence
