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".
