Well we had to have another game of Blood Eagle, the next scenario is the Sacred banner so i laid out the terrain and Alec came over he used his Uhtred war band and this time included the dreaded Irish warrior Finan along with the mighty Steppa, along with some Vikings to rescue the Sacred banner in an isolated Abbey from the Pagans.
I used a composed war band from my long past D&D days as a concept Medab and her forest folk intent on stealing the magical banner for there own devices
Placed out my terrain using Ainsty walls to build the Abbey, and there grave yard and other bits for the surroundings
Uhtreds war band (used my new painted converts for him and Finan with Foundry for the rest
Medeb and her war band Storm the champion 2 war dogs and 8 Savage herd tribesmen/ women of the woods, she can shape change into a bear
The sacred banner in the Abbey, Foundry Monks
We had the armed civilians who would attack anyone within a range
Medabs force enters onto the sceane
Uhtred and his man make straight for the Abbey
An armed civilian is cut down by Finan on his path, no time for fights with the locals
A poor villager is taken down by the Heard Females savages all
Fianan and Steppa make it to the door way, and prepare themselves
A heard woman warrior charges the shield men of Uhtred.
Uhtred slays his first Heard man of the day, making short work of him
A war dog charges Steppa who strikes it aside with ease as the Heard Savages charge into the Warriors
Finan grabs the banner and waits hit time to escape with it the minks protesting do little to his ears.
Viking vs Tribes man
the shiled makes a huge difference to the un-armoured Heard men
A Savage female cut down another Villager before he can react
Steppa charges the bow armed Heard woman as Uhtred engages another who tried to back stab the huge warrior
Around the far side a fight becomes a mixed combat Vikings against the heard savages
Finan sees his time and makes for the escape route while around him bodies mount up
Steppa swats the !/2 naked savage like an insect
Another war dog falls and the melee continues
Medab makes to block the exit with her magic's but a Viking intercepts her as another Savage falls
Uhtred is slaying all who face him his skills and ways of the sword make for a formidable warrior
The heard woods man champion Storm is killed by an armed civilian(failed his hero point roll)
Medab shimmers then transforms into a huge Bear
Finan makes his way through the clash of steel
Steppa charges the Bear head on
Savages and Vikings litter the Abbey grounds
no mercy is shown on both sides
Steppa's mighty blow knocks the Bear to the ground
As Finan makes it off the field with the sacred banner
The Vikings slay another Savage but there ranks are now thin
A Savage heard woman throws her spear at Uhtred only to strike a Viking who moved before him
Uhtred charges the Savage and Serpent breath kills her instantly
the brave Viking is avenged and no more Tribes men stand
The bear rises and rips the viking in !/2 as steppa block's its deadly claws
Uhtred moves to help his friend against the dark sorcery
Steppa again batters the bear down but it rises and bites hard
the bite goes deep but he stand (spot on fate roll but the warband had the banner so +1 )
Uhtred strikes hard and slays the mighty beast(Medab used all her hero points and failed the last roll)
The bear shimmers and returns to the Druidess,, Exhausted Uhtred and the survivors take stock of the battle . Victory for Uhtred
What a great fun game again it becomes Story driven and loads of exciting action. Medab s force seemed light and did all get killed but they also only left 1 Viking warrior standing out of the war band. Uhtred is a killing machine and Steppa a mountain. great game and I used miniatures not out the box in 30 years....
Gotta love Steappa! Brilliant stuff! Will get around to posting our first game up soon.
