Song of Blades. The Fall of Vildeburg
« on: September 28, 2014, 02:47:30 PM »
We played out the final game of our summer SBH campaign a bit over a week ago.  4 warbands battled each other and the city guard of Vildeburg, trying to get into the castle keep to escape the hordes of undead sweeping over the city.
It was actually two games at once that combined into a final battle between the winners.  It was a great end to the campaign with the winner of the final battle also being the club member (playing a band of Tharks!) with the most wins over the course of the 6 session (about 10 games long) campaign.  Also notable, we were joined by a guest who had never played SBH before, but was able to quickly pick up the game and play the city guard with his nicely painted WHFB empire figs.

As always, the full writeup and more pics are on the blog.

What a fun event! The terrain pieces made a sweet tabletop; I like the look of the city walls running through the board.

Did you have many spectators?

A fine report and pictures of the conclusion to a fun summer of gaming!

Thanks folks.  Glad you liked it. We certainly had a good time playing it.

Unfortunately we didn't have many spectators. A few that stopped to check it out, but no one stuck around for long.  There were 2 that were club members who couldn't commit to the whole night so they just stopped by to visit.

We were intending it as a sort of exhibition game.  It was at a game shop we don't usually game at (one of us plays magic there alot) as we usually meet at members' homes.  I guess everyone there was on a mission to play Magic or some other game that night as very few folks spent time at our table.

It was cool to be able to include the new guy. A former WHFB player, he's just the kind of person who we want to introduce to the wonderful world of non-mainstream gaming.
