Well I wasn't going to have my own topic, but here goes, as otherwise I'll clog the board up with more junk.
JP and I have worked through all the scenarios in the main rule book, so I thought now was a good time to link to my postings on my blog roll. The latest postings are for The Library scenario.
The link below, includes lots of Mordheim stuff which is where I started out a decade ago, but the more recent stuff is Frostgrave stuff, even if it is a very warm version of Felstad !
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/category/mordheim/
We had a second game, The Complex Temple, and I'll be posting that later today/tomorrow...
There may also be feline interludes.
-
Next bat rep up, this time the Complex Temple.
JP's luck with the dice deserted him and mine was uncomfortably good at all the right/wrong times.
-
Here's the latest scenery, more of a renovation.
Built from foam board, artists card, pizza box card and various metal and plastic gravestones.
It would be easy to make a much frostier version !
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2016/12/06/fgmh-graveyard/
-
A very nice renovation mate!
But PLEASE stop calling my wizard evil. Just because he wears black... and summons demons... and zombies... and bone darts...
Oh ok, so he's evil!
-
good guys wear black. ;)
-
A quick update on the blog as to why I like Frostgrave - maybe food for thought - maybe preaching to the converted.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2016/12/26/frostgrave-reflections/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2016/12/26/frostgrave-reflections/)
Key thing is in the interests of role playing I am canning my current Captain and will introduce a new captain from scratch, simp-ly because I have nearly finished painting a new figure to represent her !
So there.
(JP, breathes a short live sigh of relief)
More tomorrow with scenery and maybe more. I have to clear the kitchen table for later in the week when I have a warhammer game, and so will have to finish off a few pieces of scenery and some figures for Frostgrave.
-
Another version of events that JP took part in along with three of our mates who are relative or total newbies to Frostgrave:

A second bat rep to follow.
IN which I actually played.
I must get quicker as I have another games session lined up for Saturday.

Love the fountain that all the figures are standing near - who makes that?

And the second game of the day:

Love the fountain that all the figures are standing near - who makes that?
Sorry don't know, picked up at a show, removed the packaging and there it was left for ~10 years.
Came in a yellowish resin if that helps anyone identify it for us ?
-
Great report - as for your comment about not enough treasure, aren't you supposed to have ~3 per player?
And another scenery question: who makes those dias?
-

The dias were made by Iron Mammoth :)
-
Great report - as for your comment about not enough treasure, aren't you supposed to have ~3 per player?
Just checked the rules - you are quite right !
We have been doing ourselves down.
I guess it is because JP & I have got used to 2 player games.
Just in time to correct things for Saturday when I have another couple of multi-player games set up.

Skeletons - annoying but rarely fatal.

Thanks for the report!
What's that central ruin on your board?

Thanks for the report!
What's that central ruin on your board?
It's the LOTR Amon Sul (Weathertop) resin piece from Forge World now OOP.
Available on e-bay for £450 or so.
I've only used it a few times so brought it out for some fun.
The nearest I've seen is this:

Thanks for the link - they have some intersting stuff!

Another AAR from the w/e before last.

-
Thanks for the link - they have some intersting stuff!
yes I have several of their other pieces and they are good quality and can be used for a number of games.
I hope to deploy one of their other pieces (now OOP) this w/e.
Haven't tried chopping them around though I have seen others do this - the foam is very sturdy and comes with static grass already glued on.
-
First of two more battles written up.
This time the scenario was The Wyrm Hunts..replaced by a Jabberwocky.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/02/12/fg-the-wyrm-hunts/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/02/12/fg-the-wyrm-hunts/)

The second game of the day - The Genie in the Bottle.

This time the Genie did turn up, only to fight against a somewhat prepared minion.
-
My take on the first game of the Hunt the Golem scenario I played with JP on Friday:

I have three more gamed top write up, plus some scenery, stay tuned.

yes saw its back now - if you can afford it its a great centre piece.

Second battle JP and I had: Field Study
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/02/28/fg-field-study/?iframe=true&theme_preview=true (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/02/28/fg-field-study/?iframe=true&theme_preview=true)
Total disaster for me, with most dice rolls against me, plus a self inflicted wound of not having my war bands costa on my laptop, and then I managed to kill the Golem meaning no XP for any of the wizards.
:(
Two more write ups to follow this week.
-
Next AAR written up:
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/03/04/fg-the-silent-tower-scenario/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/03/04/fg-the-silent-tower-scenario/)
Alan (aka Hashpot Dribbleweed) handed my my backside !
-
And the last game.
A bit of an experiment with a difference of ~20 levels between the Wizards - has anyone else played such a game, if so what were the results ?
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/03/06/fg-the-wyrm-hunts-again/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/03/06/fg-the-wyrm-hunts-again/)
-
Finally, an update, of a game JP and I had a couple of weeks back - house moves and an infected leg have slowed me down.

That is one nice looking table you've got there!
-
The table set up is Jon's, and yes it is good.
-
Thanks!
Great report mate :)
-
And the second scenario from the Thaw of the Liche Lord:

-
Nice set up. I am looking forward to starting the Lich Lord Campaign. Off to read the blog post
-
Some more scenery pieces, including a WHFB Storm of Magic tower of magic, really useful with a spiral staircase.
(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/MH%20Scenery/FGMH%20Spiral%2001_zpsx2t77hdx.jpg)
And some more treasure tokens.

-
Lovely bit of workmate :)
-
The next bit of scenery, more GW, this time Arcane ruins which to be fair are good value for money.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/04/25/arcane-ruins/?iframe=true&theme_preview=true (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/04/25/arcane-ruins/?iframe=true&theme_preview=true)
(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/MH%20Scenery/FGMH%20AR%2002_zpsejud5kla.jpg)
Working on more scenery.
-
Ooh they'll come in very useful - great work mate!
-
Ta - they are useful, as noted on my blog the set comes with ruined versions, it's in the order I'm awaiting for and will collect on Sunday.
For £18, they're good value for money.
I should have put a figure for scale purposes. The triathlons are about five inches high, by about 4 inches wide, with the central gap about 30mm wide.
-
:) looks great...nice idea keepin em separate as well
-
The third WHFB Arcane Fulcrum, another scenery piece ideal for Frostgrave.
(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/MH%20Scenery/FGMH%20Stairway%2009_zpsfxkcjsmb.jpg)

A very nice piece but a complete git to put together.
Still, another pile of grey plastic put together nd not rattling around.
-
Looked like quite a lot of work - came out very well n the end though, top job!
-
Next bit of scenery and my first actual figures painted this year !
A Templar and some Constructs. (see earlier blog post)
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/05/08/gate-templar/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/05/08/gate-templar/)
Thwarted last night by photo bucket on a go slow that and poor light, so the image below is a taster and doesn't catch the violet properly.
(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/MH%20Scenery/FGMH%20Gate%2010_zpscvmwzzjv.jpg)

Nice terrain piece, the violet looks really good (checked out your blog).

JP and I had two games today from the Thaw of the Liche Lord campaign./
Here's my write up of the first game - The Storm of Undeath.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/05/12/fg-storm-of-undeath-part-one/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/05/12/fg-storm-of-undeath-part-one/)

the prone figures are the armoured skeletons prior to their "revival".
A fun and simple scenario we did in about an hour or so, which surprised us.
We then had enough time to go on to the next scenario which took longer and was much more cinematic and bloody !!
;)
-
Well I wasn't going to have my own topic, but here goes, as otherwise I'll clog the board up with more junk.
JP and I have worked through all the scenarios in the main rule book, so I thought now was a good time to link to my postings on my blog roll. The latest postings are for The Library scenario.
The link below, includes lots of Mordheim stuff which is where I started out a decade ago, but the more recent stuff is Frostgrave stuff, even if it is a very warm version of Felstad !
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/category/mordheim/
We had a second game, The Complex Temple, and I'll be posting that later today/tomorrow...
There may also be feline interludes.
-
Great batreps mate - saves me having to remember what happened when I get around to writing mine!
-
Great photos and report. We just played this scenario on Saturday. (Report posted soon!)
Like in your game, we found it to be very bloody as everybody raced into the open squares.
Our game also ended much earlier than our usual games do...
-
Here's my take on Run of the Rangifer game I did with JP on last friday:
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/05/15/fg-run-of-the-rangifer-part-one/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/05/15/fg-run-of-the-rangifer-part-one/)
A two parter to save download rates as usual.

Rangifer down !
two more games to follow up later this week.
-
The first of two games Jim and I played on Monday, a straight head to head with two new Warbands. I'll worm Jim's wizard's name out of him shortly.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/05/17/fg-this-town-isnt-big-enough-for-both-of-us-part-one/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/05/17/fg-this-town-isnt-big-enough-for-both-of-us-part-one/)

-
Bravo KIY - to evil!
-
And the second game with Jim - The Silent Tower:
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/05/20/fg-the-silent-tower-iii-part-one/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/05/20/fg-the-silent-tower-iii-part-one/)
In this one, I actually managed to kill the enemy wizard - kerrching on the XP !
(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/FG%202017%2005%2015/FG%202017%2005%2015%2041_zps0oxfeuwd.jpg)
And how to kill an archer, mob them with a Construct a bear-scorpion-thing- a Zombie and an Infantryman.
-
:D looks like twas way fun...nice shot KIY.
I really like the wall that matches the pringle towers (I'm stealing that tuff btw)
cheers
-
Here's the start of my Cultist war band - The Cult of the Yellow Sign
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/06/11/the-cult-of-the-yellow-sign/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/06/11/the-cult-of-the-yellow-sign/)
(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/Mordheim/FGMH%20KIY%2005_zpsoh7tw1kn.jpg)
I now have the first 6 of the war band painted up - the four in the blog post, plus KIY, plus a war hound, and there are some more Cultists on the table to be done.
There's also some older posts with tables and altars, along with some demons I've done.
Next up is the Imps.
-

It was indeed a good shot.
For the walls/scenery, I have a tester pot of dark grey matt emulsion done up in a local DIY shop, that means I can standardise all the scenery pieces I use, including bases, and then only use the more expensive Foundry/GW acrylics for the highlighting.
-
Nice bunch mate, i look forward to facing them (whilst envying your ability to paint yellow)!
-
Nice bunch mate, i look forward to facing them (whilst envying your ability to paint yellow)!
You will in time.
The painting of yellow, and even red, is a bit tricky.
But given the name of the wizard, I had to go back and re-master it.
Lots of ayers over a good foundation is the key.
-
Some more updates -some Undead to grace the table with, and some more scenery for them to explore.
Ghosts & Ghouls

And then a Numinious Occulum, and a load of railings and some gates.
-
Gribbly! I'd hate to find those in my dining roo- oh.
Great stuff mate!
-
JP & I had a game today, full details linked to below, BUT, wizard DOWN !

Great stuff as always mate - your new warband looks great in the
flesh lead!

Cheers.
I liked your Captain with the Folio parts added - and the werewolf was well done...I really must do mine as well.
:)

And yes, I have done the Werewolf, and posted it along with some of the Ulterior Motives scenery pieces.

Cracking job - nice two-tone paintjob!
-
And another couple of critters, not sure what they'll count as in frost grave, but I'm sure some sort of nasty creature will suit them.
(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/Mordheim/Jabberwocky%207_zpsajbufoj2.jpg)
Him and his brother, along with some Old Skool Citadel Skeletons are all painted up and ready to hit the table, possibly this w/e if Jim and i agree some times.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/07/18/jabberwocky/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/07/18/jabberwocky/)
(see the post yesterday for the skelingtons...
-
Awesome - One of the reasons I like Frostgrave is the ability to search out weird and wonderful miniature to use in the game.
-
I knock out a Genie & Lamp, and then finished off my Cult of the Yellow Sign, so that yesterday (Saturday) I could go round to Jim's house for a games session.
(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/FG%202017%2007%2022/FG%202017%2007%2022%2005_zpsoin7kdbp.jpg)

Cracking game with a mass melee and total carnage.

Looks like one heck of a scrap - bravo!
-
Two updates on the blog.
Wizard's Mansion is now complete, and ready for an extremely bloody battle.
(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/MH%20Scenery/FGMH%20WT%2013_zpsfrrqshzt.jpg)
And some more Cultists.

-
Mate that's an amazing piece of terrain - bravo!
-
:o fantastic work!!!
-
Thanks for the +ve feedback.
Its taken a while.
I may also add some very old Citadel arcane architecture candles on pillars to the front, but am wary due to the potential for damage.
I'll have to choose, or think up a scenario befitting the use of this scenery piece I think. ::)
-
Next AAR from Saturday.

The second game we played was a KISS scenario I'd thought up to use the Wizard's Mansion scenery item I'd completed a couple of weeks back.

Well I wasn't going to have my own topic, but here goes, as otherwise I'll clog the board up with more junk.
JP and I have worked through all the scenarios in the main rule book, so I thought now was a good time to link to my postings on my blog roll. The latest postings are for The Library scenario.
The link below, includes lots of Mordheim stuff which is where I started out a decade ago, but the more recent stuff is Frostgrave stuff, even if it is a very warm version of Felstad !
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/category/mordheim/
We had a second game, The Complex Temple, and I'll be posting that later today/tomorrow...
There may also be feline interludes.

And the next scenario we played on Saturday.

My Captain and war hound managed to loose to an Imp, the Captain being pushed back and the war hound wounded.

Jim also managed to run away from a conjured Imp, who then promptly attacked my own troops. DOH !

JP and I had two games today, continuing our way through the Thaw of the Liche Lord.

Here's the write up of the first scenario, the Lair of the Ghoul King.
(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/FG%202017%2011%2024/FG%202017%2011%2024%2019_zpsdsvftioa.jpg)
We were even using the olde tactic of conjuring walls to protect our war bands !!
:D
-
:D awesome! dig the write ups and always your tables. keep it up!
-
Great report as always mate! Expect my take on the proceedings after the weekend.
-
Probably said before, but the table played on yesterday was JP's efforts - mine are the warmer Mordheimy ones with dark brown boards.
Credit where credit is due.
Though I also understand one of our other gaming mates has a custom made frsotgrave cloth done up by his wife.
So we have competition.
:D
-
Nice report and good looking table set up.

Ok, my write up of our second game (finally, only taken a week :D )
Two entries.

One of the MANY summoned imps trying to slow down my escape. Also in view are Jon's fashionable slippers. ;)
Also on my blog are my first Ghost Archipelago pieces of scenery.
-
Oi, don't diss the slippers - very comfy they are!
-
Several minor updates over the last week or two, the latest is the Ghoul King and retinue:

Various scenery pieces as well.
More undead and Captains to be done before the 29th December and the FrostFayre 2017.

Okey jokey, pig in a pokey !
Hope everyone had a good seasonal period.
I organised a big session of Frostgrave for the usual suspects, and hired the village hall.
I had a bit of preparation to do.
So here is a string of postings starting out with some new figures and ending in the first games held at FrostFayre 2017
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/12/28/the-captains-gregory-peck-and-a-cat-who-cant-hide/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2017/12/28/the-captains-gregory-peck-and-a-cat-who-cant-hide/)

Lots of Violent Fungus, painted by Jon based on the Fly Agaricus mushroom, which my university tutor who also ran the Mycology course recommended avoiding.

C33 Wizard on Whirlwind.
Just finished this off.
How I can use it in Frostgrave is TBC, but its a lovely model.
Maybe an aerial combat scenario with the Wizard on carpet ???
:o

Ah that takes me back! One of the many classic minis I gave away many years ago *sob*. The chap on the flying carpet was another one.
-
Had my first game of GA last Saturday, delayed posting due to severe bout of Man-Flu
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/03/16/ga-2018-03-10-first-time-around/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/03/16/ga-2018-03-10-first-time-around/)
Work your way back and you can see a dozen or so figures i've been busy on over the last few weeks.
-
Ouch!
Nice batrep and eye candy though :D
-
;) looks like twas a riot!!!
-
Yes was extremely dangerous game with both of us limping off with half or less of the crew.
I think both of us will be playing slightly differently next time. :-)
-
You make me look forward to our first game...unfortunately, no sooner than April, it seems. :'(

Nice write up Giles.
Knabe

:) cool report . thanks fo sharin bro!

My main embarrassment is that I have STILL not painted my figures ! :(
-
First AAR from when JP and I gamed on Thursday, continuing to go through the "Into the Breeding Pits" campaign.

At least this time all my figures were painted apart from a tidy up on one of thugs' bases was needed.

belated write-up of JP's and my second game
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/05/18/fg-mating-season/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/05/18/fg-mating-season/)
Having had to "right size" my apprentice in "here comes the flood", JP promptly had to replace his too - a quite bloody day as I don't think we've lost both apprentices in one gaming session ever.

My hurriedly painted classic Citadel Thief dispatching a rat.
You even get some music. ;-)

https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/05/23/fg-the-breeding-pit/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/05/23/fg-the-breeding-pit/)
Wizard down, Apprentice killed, a very bloody encounter.

:D. awesome.

Third and final battle with Jp from the long w/e where we both avoiding a certain event.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/05/28/fg-more-ulterior-motives/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/05/28/fg-more-ulterior-motives/)
We used the Ulterior Motive3s cards to liven things up.
(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/FG%202018%2005%2019/FG%202018%2005%2019%2096_zpson9yh8m5.jpg)
And we had a right ruckus.
(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/FG%202018%2005%2019/FG%202018%2005%2019%20101_zps5s3agtjp.jpg)
In the ENTIRE GAME I CAST TWO SPELLS ! With a level 14 wizard !!!
Next up, two games I had with Alan.
-
Finally, the first of the two games I had with Alan.
The first, finishing off the Golem campaign from the FG Folio:
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/06/06/fg-the-house-of-the-golem/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/06/06/fg-the-house-of-the-golem/)

Quite a fracas in the middle of the board after the Golem was destroyed.
Also, a post about Crabs !
(For Ghost Archipelago)
-
The second game I had with Alan nearly a fortnight ago !
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/06/08/fg-with-magnetic-force/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/06/08/fg-with-magnetic-force/)
A hard fought game, though I think I came off best, as Alan's sorcerer seemed unable to cast spells.
(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/FG%202018%2005%2026/FG%202018%2005%2026%2050_zps5cts5x3y.jpg)
Warhounds die often !
Next up will be JP and my rather epic three games today from the Forgotten Pacts book which turned out to be very very climactic.
-
:D awesome stuff...thanks fer sharin bros!!!

Great reports mate - looks like fun!

I had hoped to crack this out at the w/e, but council business got in the way. :-/
-
8) way cool!!!
-
Once again, Jon has beaten me to it. Busy ordering the three rolls of padded wallpaper and special suit that does up at the back following an e-mail from one of electorate complaining about something over which my council have no control...not even in our area in fact....followed by a rant about EVIL and philosophy.
Part two of scenario one from Forgotten Pacts: Time Rot.

Shazzam! now has the true name of a demon, will he use it ?

A year ago, Mantic did a Kickstarter which a few of us bought in to, it was delivered today. Lots of plastic terrain specially dungeon related stuff.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/07/05/mantic-terrain-crate-errrr-terrain/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/07/05/mantic-terrain-crate-errrr-terrain/)
here are my thoughts and some photos of the actual items.
I have never bought from Mantic before, but this stuff is good, especially for the Maze of Malcor.
There are other updates to the blog with a new wizard or two, and some more thieves.

-
Nice. I am still waiting on my terraincrate to turn up.
-
:) good stuff!!!
-
You encountered quite some wildlife it seems. Do you use the regular rules for generating neutral creatures or some homebrew ones?
-
My mate Jim's Warden has a spell that summons creatures. Plus the scenario also had rules for as long as the screamer monkey was alive, an animal randomly turned up.
So yes there was a lot of stuff going on.
No home brewed ruled rules.
-
Played two games yesterday with my mate Alan. Both disastrous due to the "if it can go wrong, it will go wrong" rule.
The first is written up.

The pipe cleaner Ice Spider. Alan was quite pleased this got fielded on the table.

-
:o zero treasure is a drag...cool rep tho!!!
-
Ouch! Well at least I don't have to worry about Shazzam out-levelling my wizard :D
Cool spider though!
-
the pipe-cleaner spider is ace. all good stuff.

The pain continued in the afternoon.

I got to use my new Mantic Library terrain pieces that I have slaved away over - more to come - along with a load of older metal dungeon items I have accumulated over the years.
Ironically, Alan, his wife Rita and I had discussed purging rubbish after 5 years of not being used so its a good job some of these items had not been subjected to such a purge as some were ~27 years old.
This day really was like "Plan 9 from Outer Space", so bad with my dice rolls it was funny !
-
Another gaming session, 2 games, this was the first and most successful.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/08/26/fg-2018-08-22-the-pits-of-null/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2018/08/26/fg-2018-08-22-the-pits-of-null/)
Lots of Mind Control.

leading to Nullmen trashing Barbarians !

Plus Zombies turning up behind me (of course), and summoned Imps.
-
Looks like fun! Hopefully I'll be rolling dice soon.
-
Catching up with lots of photos following yesterday's games...so here is the second game Alan and I played week before last.

Lots of moving staircases.
I built four of them and I'll post them shortly on the blog.
Two more games to write up from friday, which were rather more successful for me. :-)
-
Alan and I are doing the Thaw of the Liche Lord campaign.
First two scenarios done.
here's the first one.

Though I "lost", I did at least get 3 treasures, which is an unusual outcome when I play at Alan's place !
-
Great looking game Giles.
Our group really enjoyed the Thaw of the Lich Lord scenarios.

:D fab stuff!!!

Wow, 120 days since the last update...loads of games played, and now I'm finally getting round to updating my photos.
Alan and I have started two new war bands to start afresh.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2019/02/17/a-new-start/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2019/02/17/a-new-start/)
I have more to come including Frostfayre 2018 when we had a couple of tables up and running with several of us in the village hall.

8) cool...welcome back!!!
-
Agreed - nice to see your blog back in action (he says guiltily as he looks at his own output recently)
-
Right, back in action after a stint in a splint (not joking) 9 hours in A&E 6 without water and then the nurses wondered why I drank 2 jugs of water...yes jugs and I pointed to the poster on the wall opposite me exhorting people to drink water !
Now, back to the sub jerk in hand another games session with Alanb. I have omitted many and may well be updating many posts as we have been gaming over the last 4 months honest.
This one is The Lair of the Crow Mage from the Wizard's Coven.

Always annoying as your thug trying to escape with the loot is cut down !
No it didn't end well.
More to follow. :-)

The second scenario in the "Blade of Barael" campaign in Wizard's Conclave

Old Mother Parma was painted for the games, and after dropping off at the model shop is now varnished, she'll probably be killed shortly. :-D

Apprentice down !
But not out...
Now to pillage the backlog.

Feeling Crabby, a couple of nice models painted for Ghost Archipelago:

Alan (Tipstaff), and Old Mother Parma completed the min campaign"The Blade of Barael" today
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2019/10/04/fg-baraels-blade/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2019/10/04/fg-baraels-blade/)
I fully expected to be whipped on this one, but it turned out very different to what either of us expected.
I spent time distracting the Half-Breed to allow OMP to teleport to the throne, and get the blade.
Due to time constraints I had to flee with the treasure rather than hunt down the Half-breed.
(https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/FG%202019%2010%2004/FG%202019%2010%2004%2017_zpslvh9n7zq.jpg)
-
This write up is a year late, but I thought I'd better get at least one scenario written up before today's session that will finish the mini campaign off.
Enemies without number - lots off barbarians between Shazzam ! and the treasure.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2019/10/10/fg-enemies-without-number/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2019/10/10/fg-enemies-without-number/)

I have the second scenario to write up yet, and then there'll be today's scenario or two to write up. Digital cameras - friend or foe ?
-
It's a friend to me, but you need to make sure the lighting is good, in order to see the details better.
-
Unfortunately, the lighting is not under my control, JP's dining room is north facing, and as per today if the weather is inclement, the light levels are rubbish, and I have to manipulate the images as best I can. Similarly, Alan my other gaming friend, has a south facing games room so I have the opposite problem where light is coming in strongly from one side.
This is why the static photos of figures I have painted are IMHO better than the more dynamic photos of games in progress.
When I am galactic dictator this will all change weight a perfect games room with lots of lighting and a professional photographer, unlike my own amateur efforts.
-
We have the same goal my friend...
-
Game on Monday, Alan found a scenario on LAF called Doppleganger.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2019/10/28/fg-doppleganger/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2019/10/28/fg-doppleganger/)
We each had a doppleganger infiltrating our warbandsd.

Frost Fayre 2019

Two tables, two games, morning and afternoon, often people like to use d20'er spent one game using a d20 marked 1-10 and wondered why he wasn't rolling double numbers ! DOH !
(https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/FG%202019%2012%2028%20Frost%20Fayre%202019/FG%202019%2012%2028%2032_zps7rp4tpyy.jpg)

A return to the Thaw of the Lichee Lord for Hashpot & Henrietta.

I sent the dog in to keep Hashpot busy, but a wizard plus a bear ()animal companion) is a bit too much for a lone hound.
But then the war hounds always die in our games. ! :D
-
Loving all the bat reps! Your terrain setups are always really cool.
-
Thanks - the last set up is at Alan's and he has used the FG dungeon pdfs to make two boards. The ones on dark brown are mine with Mordheim and other scenery. I have some more stuff to show off at the end of the month when I am staging another big two table bash in the village hall.
-
Second scenario of the day - the Maze of Mirrors with some KISS scenery by Alan.
(https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/FG%202020%2001%2020/FG%202020%2001%2020%2029_zpso5gl0j3b.jpg)

Oncer again, my war hound died....

Slightly delayed AAR, first of what will probably be three updates. We have some newbies playing with us now and we held a game own 29th February. First game was a scenario straight out of the rulebook. We had two tables of three players.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2020/03/19/fg-out-of-time-part-one/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2020/03/19/fg-out-of-time-part-one/)
My narrative is for the not JP table, I have some photos of their table I'll post when I can.
(https://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/giles_the_zog/FG%202020%2002%2029/FG%202020%2002%2029%2028_zpsjtwxvjj5.jpg)
We went right to the edge for our 3 way battle over one treasure chest !
-
The second game, a custom scenario using some of the ideas from Perilous Dark, and the scenario Dog Days.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2020/03/21/fg-out-of-time-part-two/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2020/03/21/fg-out-of-time-part-two/)

Third part will be the other tables, , who had for the custom scenario a different experience about how it played out.
-
Final part, written by Alan. I didn't play on Alan's tables as I thought we needed to mix with people and we'd already had a few games this year and had more planned (now cancelled), so this is the games on other tables.

Ok, so in Lockdown mode, I am finishing off some projects.
first up were some MDF obelisks, and now a long awaited tutorial on how to make ruins with foamboard, card and balsa wood.

A number of updates, ranging across Werewolves, glass spiders, new scenery and last of all Ghostbusters (and yes it is on topic:
Start here:-

The lower temple ruins look ace, a must-have kit.
-
Very cool ruins and the 19 year old inn is coming together nicely!
-
First piece of TTCombat scenery.
https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2020/07/30/fg-scenery-by-ttcombat/ (https://thelostcityofcarcosa.com/2020/07/30/fg-scenery-by-ttcombat/)
More vacc formed ruins on the way.
I recommend not getting behind professional decorators at the queue for tester pots in DIY stores, especially when they are running through an order of 8 mixed pots.
Tester pots are definitely the way for doing large amounts of scenery.
-
good stuff.
you do get a lot for not a lot with those TT kits.
