In the Meantime

No Spacehog here.

It's turned out to be incredibly difficult to get the group together for KUMC1, but that hasn't stopped the Mordheim play.  KUMC1 is not defunct.  It will be there when the group can get together but in the meantime, two of us have decided to embark on a different Mordheim endeavor.

We decided to build three warbands a piece and play them in some random fashion.  The first game of this campaign was Witch Hunters versus Skaven.  We are playing these races in KUMC1 but we started these wb's from scratch.  We rolled off to see which scenario from the rule book we would be competing in.  We rolled up Skirmish, which is the most basic for of play.  Set-up and go fight.

The game started with the Rats having the first turn.  They used it move toward the center of the board.  Turn one for the Witch Hunters was the same.  

Turn two meant the Skaven could get close enough to unleash their first volley of sling fire.  The WH sustained no damage from the shots and proceeded to move closer.  Their one missile weapon, a cross-bow, was able to take one verminkin out-of-action.  

Turn three saw the Skaven move tactically out of WH charge range for the most part.  They were still able to fire a large sling barrage.  However, they were only able to stun one zealot.  Turn three did allow for some charges to come from the WH.  The shooting and combat in this round took out two more rats,  another verminkin and a giant rat.  They stunned another giant rat but didn't do enough damage to cause a rout test.  

Skaven turn four saw them take out two flagellants in hand-to-hand combat and they knocked down a WH in shooting.  Witch Hunter turn four started with two crazy zealots charging the assassin.  One almost took out the leader with his spear but it was not to be as the return attack from the leader stunned him.  A WH was able to take out a giant rat that had been stunned earlier and that was enough to cause the rats to route.

Post game exploration earned the WH four shards and the Skaven 3.  The WH also found some stuff it didn't have money for.  Oh well.  Here are a couple pics.



I intend to do some painting and terrain stuff soon.  Haven't done those in a long time.
