Khorne's Skull Heist

Crunching some numbers for Warcry, I'd need to add three more Khorne Flesh hounds to the already painted Bloodletters I had painted up. Might as well batch paint a unit of 5 instead, could be used for Slaves to Darkness as an ally or for their own armies. And well... If you are painting 5 dogs, why not throw an HQ in there as well?

6 pack ready to hunt.

Rachel went through all of her Sylvaneth over the weekend, figuring out what she wanted to sell or keep. She even made a nice list for herself with some assistance from me.

Colour coded so she knows which version of Warhammer each unit can be played in.

Skirmish could have Alarielle in it, but at that point you'd might as well play a large game of Age of Sigmar. She also has a list of trees that she'd like to sell if anyone is interested in those. (also in a nice list)

On Monday morning we broke out the figures and dice to play another game of Warcry. This time using my Khorne Daemons (as I just finished painting them up) and we didn't get the silly twist that really messed up Rachel's shoot like the last one. The objective this time was to kill one enemy that held a treasure. Rachel won the roll off and nominated me as the defender. What Khorne daemons would want with treasure is beyond me, maybe it was a sapling of a tree that they stole or a perfect skull for the skull throne.

Daemon Shield start 8 inches from the center.

Sylvaneth also 8 inches from center.

Rachel wanting to show the faces of the trees.

I neglected to take an establishing shot of both sides, but they were 16 inches away from each other.

First dog charged the Kurnoth Hunter with the bow to prevent two shots from it, having to disengage if it wanted to target anything with it's bow. The leader Flesh Hound ran into combat without thinking of if it could attack. Rachel used the Envoy of the Everqueen, making her Sylvaneth have extra weapon strength and toughness. There was a twist for the first round which added 2 to ability rolls so her Quad 4's turned into quad 6s! giving her 3 extra to both

Turn 2 back up showed up from behind the Sylvaneth, but it was too late for the leader.

Finished off by the Dryad once the Sword Kurnoth took off some wounds.

Used Inspiring Presence to get both Bloodletters into combat, they only did a few wounds to the Kurnoth Hunter.

Dryad went on Onslaught, gaining 1 additional attack for each attack action. FOUR critical hits out of 5!

Turn 2 was also when the courier Flesh Hound appeared on the battlefield, it was pretty far from the action that was happening on the other side of the map, but the hound did take a few arrows from a Kurnoth Hunter, as well as frequent Revenant attacks.

Tree-Revenant pops out of the spirit path to throw some damage onto the treasure barer.

Flesh hound wasn't going to give up the treasure of skulls for the skull throne that easily.

Express package for Khorne! Beep beep out of the way!

Khorne dogs run into the ruins to take cover from Kurnoth hunter's bow.

But another Tree-revenant jumps the wounded dog, dropping the dog's prized bones to the ground.

From how the Victory card is worded, it sounds like as soon as the treasure barer is killed, the attackers win.We finished up the third round anyways, a few Bloodletters were taken out and some wounds on the Kurnoth hunters but not enough to finish them off.

Rachel and I are tied for Warcry victories, each time Rachel takes out her Dryads she mentions that she wants to continue painting them. In Jon's brain that means, more Warcry = % chance of painted Sylvaneth increases. (Update: Rachel spent the night painting up some of Dryads in different seasons, need to get some basing on them but will post pictures once she deems the done.)

I just picked up the Azyrite Townscape from Comic Readers in the second week of April, it might jump up in the priority list if we continue to play Warcry.

Coming Soon!

I have been on a bit of a kick going through the metal models I got back in January. Some of them I'll be using them as proxies for other models, adding them into the Slaves to Darkness army as I see fit. Hopefully, I can convince Rachel to do more Warcry, I quickly flipped through the rule book for campaigns, but it only has objectives for Chaos warbands and the original cards that were released when Wacry came out. Looks like I might need to pick up the Tome of Champions in the future.... or just tweak the stories in the rule book. Either way! More Warcry?!
