Hi this is my first game report of any kind so please bear with me…
Our group played SA for the first time over the Easter break and it was good fun. As there were four of us we played it teams of tow, like doubles pool: A(Threshold )-B(Lurker)-C(Threshold) -D(Lurker) and then again.
Because of available models one group from each side had 17 points rather than the standard 15.
The scenario was a fight with the Lurkers pinned down in their shack
The Threshold Groups
Dr El Hadir’s Boys (Omar Sheriff, The Dr and Ali Kemal)
SA3

Col Wutherington-Smythe’s advanced party (The Col., ‘ “Dynamite“ Dan Dillenger, Mr Huntington (Civilian) and Smudger)

The table

Round one general movement and positioning, nothing amazing but Omar takes a risk avoid covering like the plauge while Ali plays peek-a-boo Somehow Omar surives!

Round two and there is no messing from the Doctor and his boys! Omar hit’s the dirt!
Mr Huntington bravely (foolishly) closes from the other side

The Shambler bursts out at Omar and his boys all fail their Res roll, Ali’ tight boots keep him sane!

Round four is a standoff
Round five
The Shambler tears Ali apart
Doc Ali fells another cultist, the rest hide like cowards!

Round six and Smudger downs another cultist with his hollow tips! However he then makes the fatal error of going for the Shambler which tears through him and goes for the Col.
Mr Huntington is wasted by cult leader after dodging the Tommy Gun cultist (naturally called Tommy Gunn)
SA19
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/6/2859_26_04_10_10_04_39_2.JPG)
Round 7 and 8
Tommy Gunn wastes the Doc and its nearly all over as Dynamite Dan fluffs his big chance!
Round 9 and 10
The Shambler mops up!
Sorry for the lack of wrap up photos but in the tick of the game the photos dried up!
All in all a great game and a lot of fun. The Threshold managed to reduce the Shambler to one wound but no further, however they took five cultists out!
Post Script
The Doctor made a full recovery as did his two boys!
The Col. Came out of it alive, but Smudger paid the ultimate price along with Mr Huntington. Dan can’t seem to remember what happened after that bump on the head as he fled from the Shambler (sometimes amnesia is a blessing in disguise!)
Newt time I promise a better story and pics!

Hi just to let you know I didn't paint them or make the building (shame on me)
-
I'm actually more impressed by the wicker fences 8)
-
Really good stuff, models look good and it looked like a smashing game.
-
The Shambler is probably the best-painted one I've seen ! His eyes are EXTREMELY spooky ! Could we get a close-up shot so I could adopt the same technique??
Pretty dang fine first effort for a game report !!

It was painted by Mark Dixon, here's a link to his amazing stuff: http://www.artwho9figurepainting.co.uk/

For more close ups I can't remember if the fig is in France or the UK I'll have a look.
The fence I bought 3 for a pound years ago at Selwig!
