Stargrave Prep

Stargrave is almost here, and my Maelstrom's Edge 'Broken Infantry' kit has arrived, so it's time to build a warband. The first chapter of Stargrave got released, so I was able to actually plan out my team and build some custom models. This is the crew of the Carrion Bird, a salvage and reclamation crew for Uematsu Heavy Industries. They are not pirates, but if your ship is unattended, it may be disassembled for parts.

Battle Report - Rangers of Shadowdeep: Red Brothers part 1

Finally! I get to bring my you the first of four battle reports in My Red Brothers narrative campaign. I wrote this one from the perspective of one of my characters.

Rangers of Shadowdeep - Scenario 1: Ableheim

This is the first scenario I created for my Red Brothers campaign, and I had a blast creating and playing it.

I love playing with randomized mechanics, especially when I am trying to create a narratively driven game. Setup: Ableheim is a town that houses corruption and cult activity, the warband has been sent to investigate and destroy any corruption they find. A mob gathers to watch the warband, getting increasingly agitated. Victory:  - Find and destroy the corruption; - Exit the table through the starting path Mechanics: Houses When a character investigates a house, roll a D6; If a 6 is rolled, that house contains the corruption. If no 6 is rolled, the corruption is in the last house. If a D6 roll fails, add +1 to the mob counter. When the corruption is found place 1 cultist, 1 cultist archer, and 1 demon in the house (or near it). Mob The mob consists of 3 villagers/militia model
