Finished off this Reaper miniatures Barbarian , I have a selection of the scale 75 paints and thought i would paint him just using them for a change? big lad and great miniature.
We did a frostgrave today and i also finished off the treasure tokens you got free with the Nickstarter so all was set, we spent time getting the wizard party's compiled , and laid out a table on my 3x3 , we rolled "The Mausoleum" as the scenario, so lots of undead.
My side was Elementalist, apprentice, 2 archers a barbarian, treasure hunter and a Theif
Alec used his IHMN bad guy a man at arms 2 archers and 2 infantry and some thugs
slow progress onto the board I believe positions are so important and who is where as we later found.
trying to flank is not easy
do you rush the treasure in the central building or not?
Alec summoned and imp so a terror bear appeared
the undead attack and it was relentless
Alec;s apprentice gets tied up with the undead.
my treasure hunter is swamped by cultists
more undead keep coming form below
I decided grab and run
combat take all over and is actually great fun as we opposed the rolls for the undead and it does keep the game rolling fast
as we grab and run under arrows and undead a wandering monster arrives on my side as my barbarian makes for the exit a bloody snow leopard as he engages the beast an arrow thuds in to his back , thank you 20 on a dice roll!
we backed off fast
Alec's team under attack till the end
End we did a total and Alec won on experience points, he enjoyed it alot he said to me, there is a great deal of thought inot the game play and how and when you move and fight with who.
we did a few things wrong on reading and finding out later but overall a fun game with intense play.
Great stuff! And I love that stonking great barbarian! Yeah...lots of tactical considerations but it flows really nicely and feels full of action...also pretty brutal which I like!
