lrn2play: HATE co/op

-



few weeks ago i saw on Miniature Market.com they had HATE on sale and this was a board game i was so interested in since its debut on Kickstarter.
so i jumped at the chance and get the core box set and the three expansion tribes before they are gone.
 and when i got my package i was so eager to open it.
i waited for my girlfriend to come over after work to check it out also.
and the quality of the product is a 9.5/10.
no lie.

so after a weeks or so getting the basic game play rules down,
i asked my girl, Rita if she wanted to try it.
in all honesty i was afraid she wouldn't like it.

so i set up a layout of plateau tokens,
instead of using the tribe miniatures from the two huge boxes of figures you get..(107 in total),
i used the two expansion tribes instead.
the Um'Tull and the Sarrassa.

Rita taking control of the Um'Tull which are specialists in poisons,
and i took over the Sarrassa, the cursed undead that roam the planet.

a youngblood takes aim to strike down a foe from a distance.
first blood.

the Sarrassa champion looks over the plateau and sizes up the Um'Tull Prince.


end of round one, Rita took some casualties and off to the right side of the board a nice area of conflict erupted.


eye for an eye.


the Um'Tull prince faces the Sarassa champion.



Rita was holding her ground with her tribe fairly well.
the Sarrassa prince started to approach the melee.


end of round two and several pockets of fighting.


start of round three i mentioned that with the one strong and weakness with the Sarrassa is that they are somewhat powerful but then because of a special tribe card they become weak.
so we starting playing with the tribe cards and it didn't take Rita anytime to figure out how to use
the poisons of the Um'Tull.


the Um'Tull prince has started to make his way to establish his claim to the land.


with some cunning and brutal tactics i was able to down Rita's prince.
it was a chore but i got it done.


by the end of round four,
it was clear these lands were meant for the slumbering undead of the Sarrassa.

i know there were a few rules we messed up but we're still learning.
after the game i asked her what she thought of it and,
she said it's kinda like chess...just a little barbaric and bloody.

      they are great, kinda scared to paint them, they look so nice.
      one thing i love with this game is the miniatures match damn near 99% of the artwork on their data cards.

      They look like they have a ton of detail! Just go slow and chip away.

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...

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...
