Thanks again guys. This time some scenes from an actual wargame (the reports of which are 'littered' throughout my campaign account). The Holy Army of Morr attacks Viadaza; the former led by the arch-lector Calictus II, the latter being commanded by the vampire Lord Adolfo.

Many of the pics (59 in total) are just your standard 'in game' shots to illustrate and accompany the story of the battle, but quite a lot of them I like just as pictures. I will try to select mainly those  ... 

The allied army arrays for the assualt ...





Amongst it are regiments of Morrite 'Dedicants' ...



And Angelo da Leoni's marvellous steam engine ...



Behind was the army's extensive baggage ...



The undead defenders watched ...







... as the army advanced towards the walls ...



Then the undead appear before the walls! First zombies raised by necromancy from the ground outside ...



Then skeletal riders seem to ride through the walls themselves ...



Fights ensue ...





But the allies prevail and push through the foe to reach the walls. Some ascent on ladders ...



Others clamber over the stone piles left where their guns have brought down parts of the walls ...



And so the fighting spread onto the streets with the city ...





As more and more allied soldiers gained access to the city ...



Eventually even Lord Adolfo could see that the battle was lost, and so he ordered a retreat in the hope that he could return to his beloved mistress (and sire!) the Duchess Maria ...



His ghouls followed him out as a bodyguard ...



Meanwhile the guns outside fell silent ...





.., the fight was over.

Ah but, Gibby, you know my frustration. And by 'ah' I mean 'Aaagh!'

Thank you.

Here is a little scene from the time Portomaggioran pistoleers were sent to scout the neighbouring realm of Raverno after the VMC had sent a force to 'punish' the Ravernans for the defenestration of their emissaries. They discovered the survivors, and their houses, had been beaten up pretty bad!

On hearing the sound of chanting and the ringing of a bell, Biagino looked out of the window ...



There he saw fanatic dedicants and the Disciplinati di Morr upon the street, with burning torches and a wheeled bell carriage ...



The carriage trundled by ...

BTW, has anyone else ever tried taking a photo through a 28mm scale window? I was surprised anything came out at all!

Thanks guys.

Here are some night-time pics of the bestial vampire Lord Adolfo instructing a body of zombified warehouse guards concerning their duties!







Then he turns to stare at the spy observing him ...

Back to some of the latest pictures in the campaign ... lifted from a story I have just posted in the forums.

Scenes from the discussion between Lord Silvano Gondi of Pavona and General Valckenburgh of the VMC in Tilea, concerning Duke Guidobaldo Gondi's previous actions and slander ... not an easy conversation!
