Today was the first game of the 7TV2 using 2 x 40 point casts and all the contents and rules in the box, (we believe we played it 98% right), Above are the vindicators my cast based on my long time characters and art. I found having a base idea made the construction of the cast more easy and ended with what i thought a good rep of my ideas
Alec brought his IHMN miniatures and i th helped him pick his cast for the said models this proved so easy using the cards , he had never played 7TV before but wanted to give it a go.
The scenario or episode was the Battle I laid out my grave yard terrain as the plot in my head involved the vindicators final confrontation with the Ancient Evil priest Akion and his cultists
Akion has been lead and goaded into the Harringgate grave yard hoping to eliminate the vindicators once and for all and set his plans free for domination and terror, but as always nothing is ever what is seems??
We closely read the set up with gadget cards and devices of plot points and deployed Alec was the Attacker,
Akions cast enters the graveyard intent on over running and destroying the team
Sparta sets and waits weapon ready
the mighty Tak seeks prey (Marauding monster)
pistols ready they cultist are superior alongside there master
Akion spots a hidden body guard and dispatches him with a single shot
even in cover you can fail badly
the creation that is the un-dead Zorn shambles in the graveyard
Sin the assassin sneaks in the stones and pillars to kill the enemy
Ron using a jet pack engages the monster head on, Fists pound and the giants clash
The hunting rifle of Mayday tries to find the un-dead in the graves
with a surge the monster crushes ron by the windpipe and he falls dead and cold on the road
gun fire rings out as the cultist open fire on the bodyguards hidden in the head stones
the cultist volley again
the leader shouts for them to take there time
return fire send a cultist down
Mayday takes careful aim and fires
the un-dead is dropped like a tree
Unity sees sin suddenly appear in the road and fires (a countdown card enabled me to swap 2 miniatures position)
Sin is hit
the monster charges and rips into Sparta's dog who is slain outright!
cultist charge into the defenders area
Sparta is hit by there gunfire and Akions powers of evil
around Sparta his companions fall the girls look around and fade into the darkness leaving him alone? (Failed cast is axed roll 3 members of the cast are removed )
Akion uses his powers again and swaps places with Sparta he finds himself surrounded by the cultists who strike and tear at him
he is wounded then recovers
the Dr is felled by a blow
then a cultist meets the same fate's others run to finish of the hero
he turns and with a chop take out the cultist leader as Akion appears levelling his pistol
Sparta fires but misses as the remaining cultist blast him in the back as akions bullets rip inot his chest
he is dropped to the ground by successive fire
Gloating Akion stands above the fallen man, Sparta uttering softly to the evil being " you should never drop good blood on the floor of the dead here it will wake the souls of the dammed!" then Akion looks around and Screams!
"All is never what is seems"
Great game and fun loads of twists and the cards make it so easy Alec read each card as he played or was engaged in the end he knew after a few turns what did what, i was amazed how easy he picked it all up having never played a game before?, the countdown cards for me make the game easy to use and ensure no game will ever be the same. Akions cast won by plot points easy and kills he made, but as we discussed after nothing is too strong to weak a game or over power it.
Enjoyable entertainment I would recommend anyone to give it a go adaptable to most miniature collections. 10/10
