Thinking of a small 2000AD skirmish game project

[H.M.Stanley]

Annakins - she don't play nice!

Gassed my Cultists and the Demon (I wasn't sure about that one but let it ride as it was funny) and discovered the joys of heat seeking rounds when my Spit Gun fellas were in heavy cover.

She also nullified my Shroud of the Dead GW by lobbing Stumm Gas Grenades (humph!)

She's taken to this rather too quickly for my liking ...

Ace! Fatties ahoy.

[Archie]

All looks very neat  ... and the blob for fatties is a great idea.

And  minor point but just how many yellow barrels does one wargamer need?!

[H.M.Stanley]

You may have a point about the barrels 

It was only after that I thought I should have got 50/50 oil & toxic

Your bases on their way today mate

Harpy/Demon ĺĺ - what colour to paint one?

I'm having a painting block

[Ahistorian]

Grey has always been a favourite of mine for orcs & demons &c, but in the comics they seem generally to be red/smoky-black coloured.

[H.M.Stanley]

I have done the Lesser in grey and Greater in red. Looked at images of Jason and the Argonauts and the harpies were blue/black. I might try purple/black ...

[H.M.Stanley]

got a pic of the fig?

I'll put one up when i get a mo

[H.M.Stanley]

Spikes, 2 x Mech I's and a Vatican City Judge arrived today  

... as well as the Heroclix Judge Death.

Now, on the Dark Judges and in particular the bases, do i:

A.  leave as is;
B.  just add base material to match my existing collection: or
C.  rebase entirely?

I might also give them a little bit of a painting touch-up (ooh, err) but I'm not planning on doing anything exciting on that front

We played again tonight. Brit Cit vs Cabal and Brit Cit vs Mega-City One. Was the result ever in doubt!?

Nice AAR report. Evil Warlock indeed.   

I may have to reconsider how best (sic) to use the Cultists in 500pts.  A level 4 GW with Trans-Dime and an (almost) automatic summoning of a Grade II Demon feels a bit like a one trick pony. Whoever controls him wins, or at least until you stop bringing a knife to a stump gun fight .... 

I may also start using the unarmed Bros. as a Mob to limit their flexibility

@Scurv: Cheers! Part of the problem is how expensive Judges are and how cheap the demon is - tooling up to fight it leaves you drastically exposed to the occasional spit gun hit. (That's not a crack at your cultists James, that's a legitimate concern!)

@HMS: Thank you too!  I think more cultists, or at least more cheap hangers-on is probably the way forward - their low Will really counts against them in a Judge fight and bodies would help negate that. They would also be a buffer against an unfriendly demon 

[H.M.Stanley]

The issue is of course the level 4 Hero/GW. There's lot of points in him (150)

I could keep him at level 1 and add another 5 unarmed cultist now that i have got the demon thing out of my system ... 

[Ahistorian]

The problem with doing the 3-act structure is that the board takes just as long to set up for a 20 minute game as a three hour long one - and we only have so much kit.

It's a nice idea though - the vigilante could be the fattie's trainer, desperate to get him back before the Championship!

Reducing his level is certainly an option worth considering - maybe not all the way down to 1 though, he was a little fragile back then.

[H.M.Stanley]

I like the idea of a three part scenario but would probably do it over a few weeks to allow for other projects/gaming. That way you could bring different scenery each game.

To make it easier, for me,   i might leave the GW as level 4 Hero with T-D ... BUT ... look to summoning the Minor Demonic Pact (Melee +2/Will +1/Hits 2 etc). The Baby Demon has less "Oomph!" but still has a bit of a bite*.

I could spend the 55 pts saved by making the GW a Werewolf (lose an unarmed Minion too) or a Punk with a High Velocity Rifle! Be careful what you wish for  

Consider taking an Exorcist Judge ...

*That or stop taking the Class II with Wings/Lightning Bolt which gives me a couple of extra cannon-fodder
