So… we finally got together again in Heusden NL last weekend. We planned two battles…
Quite a long time ago, but not so long it’s been forgotten, an Expeditionary army of Brettonians were sent to reclaim a relic, a holy cup. The battle was fierce and some of their main forces were cut off from the army. The relic was recovered, but the cut-off force were left to hang out and dry. And ultimately, die. They are the ‘lost’. Amongst their number is a powerful caster. Rodney. Rodney heir to Spring D'anvil. He still stirs. It appears that the local children have been playing in the cemetery and listening to his whispers. Bringing him food. Dead rats, cats and dogs. Yum.
For a few weeks, a steady trickle of skeletons and zombies have been traipsing towards Anvilspring. The poor quarter where many of old houses who have lost their standing now live. The battle is remembered there and there is some sympathy for the calls of ‘vengeance’ from the unalive wearing old house colours.
The Baron of Anvilspring has set a patrol of knights, some archers and a new cannon for target practice. Our heroes from the last battle – the crossbow unit Las Basterdz are hanging out in the closest watchtowers with the feisty sorceress Beaujolais. What could go wrong?
The board looks like this… (Coupla tiles smaller than last time to keep it 'tight')
It's 3,000pt each side - I'll explain them more next time.
- The Brettonians vs an undead army (of Brettonians) led by a Lich – Rotten Rodney
- The Woodelves of Scarloc vs the retreating army of Mengil and the Dark Elves (Spoiler: we didn’t get to this)
