HATE: Crumbling Plateaus

-

layout of the table

to come to my surprise my girlfriend Rita actually enjoys a little Hate ever now and then.
this past weekend we had another one off game using one of the scenarios and i have to admit this was the best time i ever had playing a board game or even table top wargaming period.

this particular scenario uses the plateau templates and that it, no game board.
we set up our tribes according to the scenario sheet and got ourselves ready.

what makes this nerve wracking than most is at the end of turn one, two and three roll of a dice and marked plateau templates are taking out of play as if they crumbled and fell apart, and everyone else who were on those templates.

Rita picked the Um'Tall tribe once again mastering the art of poisons,
as for me i went with the Bul'Gar tribe and the their ability of mind control and raising the fallen.

not gonna lie, having Hielung playing in the background takes this game
to a whole another level.


round one didn't go to plan as i hoped.
i charged in early to topple her Prince and i lost out.
Rita drew first blood.


as round one came to an end she lost one warrior and i lost two of three shamans which is bad,
being all of my tribe cards revolve around shamans.
pretty much at this moment Rita thought she had the game pretty much in the bag.
then came the roll to see what templates were eliminated.


we both lost members of our tribes living or dead.


the Prince of the Um'Tall tribe showing everyone what it takes to be on top of the mountain.
at this moment i pretty much thought i lost this game.
i was losing members of my tribe too quickly.
just had to survive to the end of the rounds and hope the ground would give way and take her out.


by end of round two i had two warriors and 1 youngblood and Rita had her Prince
and her tribe's champion.


after some nail biting dice rolls,
i managed to bring down the Prince.
and then move my other warrior into place to hopefully take out her champion also.


the all-stars of my Bul'Gar tribe.
once we have the chronicle or campaign rules down we will be doing one so that'll be posted
up as we go along.

still plugging away at the mess of undead miniatures i still have. these skeletons are from the Undead Encounter pack from Mantic Games. i went with a simple color scheme, i didn't want to spend a lot of time on them. the so called leader of the group. with the simple color and shading these came out nicely. i might go back and retouch the eyes, maybe add a green glow or redness in the eye sockets. rest of the group. way these came out i might purchase another pack of these, add more to the more ranks. Beholder Zombie. this fellow was fun to paint. cannot wait to unleash this on my D&D group. (insert evil laugh here) Crawling Claws. wanted to make some low CR creatures for this weekend's game, and since the group is heading to a den of evil what better way than this. made from dismembered hands from an old GW zombie plastic set. last year i came across some board games called Dark World, and the miniatures were pretty cool to use elsewhere in my table top games. so i used t...

for the Lord of Wolf, for Russ!

ever since my last game of 40k Kill Team with my buddy Jayson, i've been thinking on a second team for the game. lots of ideas were swirling in my head. and i narrowed it down to the faction i always wanted ever since i first started playing 40k back in 2nd edition. the honorable and ferocious Space Wolves. with all the new material coming out for 9th edition and what has been out already i have to say i am disappointed on how much character the new Primaris space marines lack. i mean yeah there's the upgrade packs you could get but still there isn't much to separate one group of Primaris marines from another of a different chapter except shoulder pads. so deciding on this i went with the classic look of the Space Wolves. but with that also there is only a few units and not much i can use if i do a non-Primaris Kill Team. and with these marine i also tried the Citadel Colour Contrast paints. and i have to say i like them very much. very easy...
