I was absent from last weeks gaming due to illness and apparently Tim didn’t show either. In the meantime, another gaming Monday has come and gone. No D&D this week since both Oscar and myself had to take off early. But we played some magic and a 2 on 2 game of Warhammer. On the magic front me and Oscar came close to victory in a two on two match, both of us playing artifact decks under the team name 'Skynet' vs. Tim and Stephen with some other decks. Next we played an all on all game, I used the best deck in Seattle from 1997, But didn't win.
Then we played Warhammer, me and my bat undead allied with Stephen's joker goblins (Joblins) vs. Oscar and his lizardmen and Tim's High Elves. We played a scenario that required us to battle for a monument in the centre of the board. It was a bit of a stand off most of the time. But I made my move and managed to secure victory. Mostly by the game ending before anyone could stop me. But still a win is a win. I learnt a lot about my army and so hopefully will win the next one based on skill more than luck.
No real paint to talk of. But I decided to do my corpse cart first instead of last and I a box of skeletons cheap from trademe so that will increase my over all force nicely.

Back in Black
The title is a reference to me wearing all black on Monday something I used to do regularly in high school.
Gaming wise we played more D&D. First up we went to the place the ghost told us too put his bones. Only to find the graves robbed, which means we have to recover his family so they can all be at rest together. Inside the ruined farm house we encountered and Owlbear. Kicked it's ass, then found the remains of it's last meal (a severed arm with a tattoo on it) and it's cub. Steven took the cub and I took the arm. The arm led us to a mining foreman and some thugs.
We confronted the thugs in the tavern and a huge bar fight ensued. With everyone bar Stephen being knocked the fuck out. Once I was back on my feet I shot gunned the hell out of our attackers and even left one alive to question. However we were banned from the bar since in the process we kind of set it on fire, twice. So now no rooms or booze and we owe him 500gp.
Our prisoner pointed us towards a necromancer that is buying bodies and that is where he and his friends took the bones we need. So we took the bodies of the guys we killed in the bar fight and posed as body sellers. We arrived at the lair of the necromancer, an old observatory, and knocked onto the door. Well Tim knocked on the door and was shot a dozen times with poisoned crossbow bolts. I used one of the bodies as a shield charged the room and wasted the skeleton archers with my new +1 Great axe (loot from the bar fight). Whoever Tim was wasted from the poison and Stephen's character was being a dick (as usual) so we were kind of stuck so we ended the session there.
Warhammer wise, I glued all my ghouls together so I know have all the infantry assembled, yay. I also started doing small conversions; in this case I found a whole bunch of tiny dark eldar accessories that look like the fins on Batman's gloves, so I glued them onto anyone wearing arm armour. This added up to 3 skeletons and the vampire. Still plenty of room in the future and it adds a little bit of themed character to the minis. Also I am finally into the painting stage at the moment that is just a few skeletons, but I'm also doing test coats for the ghoul’s colour scheme. It's surprisingly hard to come up with a colour scheme that says "Killer Croc".

A bit of a bust
Nothing really happened this Monday. It was a public holiday and Tim and Oscar on holiday from Uni, but Stephen has been laid low by the flu. So there was a bit of Warhammer played by everyone but me since I didn't have all the necessary minis assembled and I don't want to play with half assed non painted minis.
Tim pretty much raped up at that although it sounds like neither him nor Oscar have managed to make legal forces for Cold Steel so we will have to sort that shit out next time. I assembled the last of my zombies and re did their standard since the original one interfered with whoever stood next too the bearer.
I'm also starting to get the hang of the rules. A bit more complicated than Mordheim but I'm learning quickly. As an added bonus the more I understand the rules the more I understand my army and the closer I get to nailing down the exact options for my vampire.
Lastly I played some more Marvel Ultimate Alliance on Monday. The new game obsession for me and Stephen since cane took back Rainbow Six. I rocked out as Blade and Luke Cage and helped save Asgard from Dr Doom and the Masters of evil. It's a pretty cool game but can get repetitive, so I like to cycle through characters as I go. My current front runners are - Blade, Luke Cage, Hawkeye and Moon Knight. All good combat characters with some interesting powers and cool costumes. Me and Stephen are slowly working through the main plot, using a guide to unlock everyone’s extras.
Hopefully Stephen isn't busy tonight and I can go hangout with him and play some more Ultimate Alliance and start gluing Ghouls together.
