This week our session was another "filler" with one member absent due to Cakebowl and another leaving the group for RL reasons (thief). However, we also gained a new member - a Human Psionic! This week saw our adventurers - Dragonborn Paladin; drunken Dwarf Cleric; Drow Stormsoul Sorceror; Drow Thief; and an NPC Human Fighter - continue their exploration of Farnsborough. Previous sessions had seen them come to the aid of the previousl-mentioned NPC in the cellar of his own Inn, after ransacking what was upstairs in an effort to discover what has been occurring. Prior to this they had saved another lonely soul in the abandoned Temple of Pelor after fighting of a small horde of Zombies. Thus, our adventurers entered the Town Hall in order to discover what has been happening from the public records. Upon entering the Town Hall our Paladin discovered someone had beaten them to it. This mysterious individual soon identified himself as Quinn Enether, a former student of History who has instead left his studies in order to discover more about the world on a first-hand basis. After a thorough grilling by the group, he joined the party. This required no persuasion as night has now fallen and the Dragonborn, now standing watch outside, detected evil on the wind and noticed (Perception check) that there were less corpses to be found in the Market Square than had earlier been. Our group then gathered up the documents between them and proceeded to the Stables/Market/Smithy in order to locate some tack and harness to hich the Dragonborn the the cart that the Innkeeper/retired-fighter generously provided. Whilst searching the Smithy, they stumbled upon a locked chest amongst the Blacksmith's possessions. The Drow thief opened it but was not adeopt enough to avoid the gnomish-cock-punch-trap and was left a writhing ball of pain on the floor while the others in the group inspected its contents. Inside they found a knuckleduster and a black dagger. The knuckleduster is mundane, ad the Paladin declared his need for this. However, the black dagger is magic and the Stormsoul Sorcerer's closer inspection revealed something was staring back at him from within... They were startled from their reverie by the insane shrieks and cackling of someone outside... calling them out to confrontation. Upon emerging from the Smithy, they were confronted by a swollen Zombie horde being directed by a small cloaked figure. The Paladin, in his haste to destroy evil charged immediately for the cloaked figure, who nimbly retreated behind a wall of zombies. The Paladin destoryed what he could but was soon dragged down by the sheer numbers around him and proceeded to be bludgeoned by the wall of moaning, decaying flesh around him. Meanwhile, the remainder of the group hung back and attempted to blast the masses apart. The Sorceror arttempted to channel his spell through the Black Dagger, missing his intended quarry but drawing attention to himself as the cloaked figure recognised it for what he was searching for and directed the masses at the group, leaving the Paladin restrained by the few remaining Zombies. Eventually, being driven back into the Smithy so that they could handle the horde piecemeal as it was funnelled through the doorway. Seeing that this could take a while, the group set fire to the Smithy, using coals from the furnace and bellows, seeking to escape in the commotion. The Cloaked figure made his way through the masses, skirting carefully around the enraged Paladin, to claim his prize. Upon reaching the smithy, the cloaked figure came face-to-face with the Sorceror and was identified as being Abercrombie, the grave-digger/caretaker whom they had saved only recently from the zombies in the Temple. A sneak attackby the Thief almost struck him down. Realising his apparent danger, Abercrombie used a scroll of teleportation, and unfortunately for our Rogue he was caught int its area of effect, being zipped from the danger of a collapsing, burning building along with Abercrombie the Necromancer. With their master's influence suddenly absent, the horde of zombies disintegrated where they stood. This allowed our group to escape the burning building and consolidate near the wagon, upon which were the stores from the Inn. Once informed of their intents to hitch the Dragonborn to pull the cart, the Paladin flew into a rage, igniting the cart along with the ale and supplies. The group then gathered their singed belongings, in the nick of time. It was only then that they realised that the Innkeeper/ex-fighter had been a victim of the horde. Next session our group must choose a direction in which to travel and begin answering the long list of questions concerning the Where; Why; Who; What; and How of the present, and also during their stasis.

Which company did you buy the bases from? I did something similar and forgot who I bought them through.

Honestly, it is very difficutl to take your post seriously in PINK...:dance:

Why would people stop playing? We still play the odd game of 2nd or 3rd ed 40k when we miss some of the finer points that 5th misses entirely. For some (necrons) who havent had a codex update in while, they are just as compatible without requiring multiple Codexes. IIRC Rackham did not suffer from the coex lag that 40k experiences.

http://kirbysblog-ic.blogspot.com/2011/05/citadel-finecast.html Resin doesnt appear to improve the sculpts and in most instances will make for more preparation before you can assemble, paint?, and play with your minis... Also, the level of detail is not higher than the existing metal sculpts, it is the same as the moulds for resin were made with the very same masters they used for the metal moulds. It is merely a cost-saving exercise as metal stocks are becoming increasingly expensive. GW's claims of "the highest quality miniatures the world has ever seen" are clearly unfounded... if you want quality resins, go to CMoN shop and have a look. Studio McVey (Mike McVey, ex-GW) can make the above claim about his products, GW cannot.

Do you mean RPG or campaign? How will the crews progress through the RPG element?

Damn... cant wait to see someone finish this

Other than Anime, I have alot of catching up to do. Infernal Affairs was remade (rather crappily) by Hollywood wasnt it?

Why not this model from Reaper...

Why not learn from some of the best? [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame]

Rasputina and Sonia Criid Done.

Attention: We now require 2 new players, one has had to leave due to life getting in the way.

Pete, stop apologising for GW, it isnt a good look for you. All the points you have raised are not entirely valid reasons for the embargo to the southern hemisphere and the recent price rise to "support introducing resin". If you go to DakkaDakka this has been going on for weeks and the GW apologists are losing the fight. To address your points (I have numbered them in your quote): 1. Every company will have overheads, however, everyone knows that the embargo and price rise are not to cover these, they are to drive prices up in order to satisfy the shareholders. 2. How will price RISES help Independents? They will now pay more to buy the products at Wholesale before marking them up to the increased RRP for their region and then they need to cover their ovrheads with increasingly expensive product. I also notice that you are no in the affected region, which is why it is perhaps easier for you to apologise for GW's actions. 3. The people complaining are the veterans of GW game systems, and it doesnt mater if your mother or father pays, do you not think that they will now think twice about paying over $55AUD (Southern Hemisphere price) for 10 plastic men? Pete, you seem to missing many points of note and arguing from a very limited opinion when you defend GW. I suggest you read the 2 links below and stop believing everything Mark Wells spoon-feeds you, as it is a load of tripe. For those who are on Pete's side of the fence, please read this link: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/368570.page and this one for the Finecast Resin: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/369106.page On Topic: I had considered posting this very same topic about the WarmaHordes sale here, but then I considered that to be rude as this is a site for Wyrd's own gaming system, Malifaux.

Mine is self explanatory... he is just the most awesome Mandalorian in History

I love your dogs. Do you plan on using the new Morgue bases?

Sounds like a plan. How will you paint the Teddies?

Not sold on any of them. Though, those wings are the standard for converting Kaeris now.

Nice. I simply used Jackalope in my Alice-themed crew

Zing! Also, I want your signature banner as a tattoo!

Wow... Im assuming that is one of the Gator Solos from PP?

4/5 are now under negotiation.

Malifaux doesnt work with Line of Sight... ust stick it on the appropriately-sized base and VIOLA!

On the other hand... Alternate teddy/killjoy/construct...

Hi all, While google'ing Puppet Wars, I accidentally stumbled upon this gem... http://puppetswar.com/ They have some cool alternative bits for your preferred games systems. including these: http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=28 Which would be awesome for goblin and Ortega accessories.
