lrn2play: Perilous Tales part II

-

before i clean up the game table for the weekend,
i wanted to get another round of Perilous Tales.
after watching more videos of gameplay and reading the rules
i'm getting the hang of it.

this time around i am playing the demon butcher and company,
instead of the mummy lord and his cohort.

still using the same unit as last time, the Hell Hounds.


layout of the table

i didn't change much except for the layout of the scatter pieces of
the ruins and the palm trees,
figured since i am only learning this game i don't have to have an
amazing set up on the table.


Darnell advances within range of a threat marker,
which was a swarm of rats.


Sgt. Rock and Darnell takes on the swarm of rats,
while Thomas "Tag-a-Long" triggers a sandstorm effect that renders
all visibility to 6 inches.


"Four Eyes" comes across another threat marker and sets off a quicksand effect.
which a hero within 6 inches must make a skill check or is knocked down.
another threat marker lurks near within the ruins.



Thomas "Tag-a-Long" becomes engaged with an imp,
while "Four Eyes" becomes knocked down after failing his skill check.


another swarm of rats attacks Thomas "Tag-a-Long", after the imp was killed
from behind a collapsed ruin the demon butcher is revealed.

(such a great excuse to use my classic GW Bloodthirster miniature)


the demon butcher attacks but misses completely.


Sgt. Rock shouts out loud encouraging words,
which helped the men wound the demon immensely. 



with "Four Eyes" killed,
everyone failed their horror checks.
the two in melee were knocked down and Sgt. Rock fled for some cover.


swalloed his fear, Sgt. Rock turned around and opened fire,
taking down what the locals called "the raging Red Angel of the Sands".

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...

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...
