Winter is Coming, LRB

THIS. IS. THE. SHIT.

yes it is :p

holy fing sh@t
the music fit perfectly
love it love it love it
if I had a camera I would do this with my stuff
though I wouldent 'cause my minis look like crap
and my terrains worse

well my minis, terrain isn't top tier, but why would let that bring us down! after photoshop you can blend the details ;P I have done every picture (beside the few last pictures of the shootout) with my samsung cellphone. the last few were taken by iPad, since I ran out of battery.

Great little report. Good haul from the game, are you considering another pitslave to help your numbers and start the rebuild or happy to continue with only 2 for now?

Also why was the ladys gang rating so low at the beggining? I could have swron that in a gang fight you still use the entire gangs rating (as it representing their street cred and no-one knows exactly who was there, only that the 'ladys in waiting' were involved.... Might lead to a bigger underdog bonus?

Keep the write ups coming. And smoke grenades will be very useful for keeping your duo safe!

Well more is merrier. Before that shootout I didn't have enough money to recruit more fighters, but after shootout I got that 150 creds. Allthough we are probably going to play the captive audience scenario where the leaders negotiate about the ransoms and with some luck nothing happends, or with worst luck I get seriously maimed ;) technically I don't have the money yet, but that is up to Marsupilami if he wants to play the scenario.

Also why was the ladys gang rating so low at the beggining? I could have swron that in a gang fight you still use the entire gangs rating (as it representing their street cred and no-one knows exactly who was there, only that the 'ladys in waiting' were involved....

Because there were only 3 models on the board in the shoot out. We adjust rating according model count in the battle. Dunno if this is plain wrong played, but in that case it has become House Rule of the Winter is Coming campaing ;)

in the 4 player game we decided that each player got underdog bonus based on total rating of all the enemies. thus only Fungi dealers received smaller experience.

My friend hasn't named his fighters yet.. but perhaps the next game they will have better names ;)

Keep the write ups coming. And smoke grenades will be very useful for keeping your duo safe!

I will keep and try to improve their information. Still having hard time wether to steer comic to more informatic (so adding numbers) or more fluffy way adding more story. perhaps some middle ground could be best. For the smoke grenade I hope too, allthough only 2 inch height.. perhaps I will do smoke counter that is little higher! ;)

oo that could be interesting.

hmm, I could have sworn I had read somewhere (maybe under old battle wounds or when calculating underdogs stuff) that its against the full rating as they dont know that so and so is laid up at home with a infected wound they jsut know they beat the big scary gang. But looking over it again I couldnt find it so might have made it up.

I think atm you have a great balance, I wouldnt show rolls but maybe things like 'such and such lost his nerve!' or 'you-know-who went down like a sack of spuds!' etc, so folk can see whats happening but dont need to be bogged down with the actual scores.

@mechmaster I was hoping to see Logan White Sock :( If I understood you correctly these are the pictures of the models but not the actual exact models you have? post your works in terrain/miniature section, we have great community here, perhaps you receive some crucial tips. Remember you can always repaint stuff, you can always make new terrain to replace old terrain.

I can say only that only by doing you will ever get better at painting and modeling. This is my first warhammer project (if you don't count two finnfoam hills) http://imgur.com/a/lwAB9 . This was inspired by Warhammer FB High Elven lore of the great vortex that sucked out magical energies from the world. I was planning to make this for custom scenario where High Elves were trying to defend against demonic hordes. But it never actually finished.

If someone would sadabout 2 years ago that I could have done Venice themed Necromunda board, I would laughed my ass off and said not in a million years! Still lot to learn, but that has being

Fluff should be at the core of the comic strips. I think you're doing a great job of letting us know the game mechanisms without telling us "rolled a four" and "fell six inches".

Roughnecks survived yet another encounter. This time no blood was shed. We played captive audience - hand-off scenario and the winterfell edition was smaller table and actually really missreaded rules. I though that game is ending when leaders and captive / bag reach the starting point, not edge of table. Well this was really nice way to add more excitment to ransom situation than regular ok, here is the money derp derp. The board was done my Marsupilami and his major idea was that this represents sewer where both gangs will meet in relative safety.

@Gorkamunda this report should be full of fluff ;)

As usual the battle report is found at my domain http://loriel.kapsi.fi/NECR_BR/RN004/

Here is a little background music for the mood

Time for update my Roughneck progress.

first of all we had two brand new players in the game, who played with my example fast painted gangs. For some strange reason we ended up playing 4 player free for all, match. perhaps at first it was supposed to be a game where me and Marsupilami would have played and new guys would have just watched, but then when we were at our gaming club we decided to play 4 player game.

Both of them used example gangs made by me where there is leader with boltgun, chainsword, three gangers with lasguns (or autoguns on the goliath case), heavy with heavy stubber and 3 juves with autopistols and frag grenades. here is link to my "saints row" example gang http://necromunda.yaktribe.org/gang/view/14284/Saints Row (Esimerkki jengi)

secondly I updated my comic life to version 3 and to my greatest surprise they have taken off the HTML export option. I could use the old one by replacing pictures in the page folder. On other side note it was really odd to see that they have complete changed couple things on the program from version 2 to 3, and for example there were many styles which were got ridden off. on other hand they had much more new options and I personally like the background texture choices. makes the report feel little better in my humble opinion. Anyhow I just exported them as images and uploaded them to my webserver.

thirdly this report is actually unfinished, since we never played Alpha Brutes post battle sequence because he had rush to leave for work. When we play it (probably at work, since he is my workmate) I will add them to actual report. To be honest I was just TOO excited to wait before posting this!


again here is little backgroun music that I feel fits the theme

so perhaps someone might ask what happened when the Unchais charged Simon (ws5 +1 charge , double chainsawed pit fighter vs ws 2 knife/autopistol juve). well I rolled double 1 and he rolled like double 5 (if I remember correctly) I parried another them and it got lower, then parried the other and he got it to six ;)

On the third multiple combat with Jack when he fought with Simon, Simon had 4 attacks and he rolled 2 double sixes and was it 2 x twos. I naturally used my chainsaw parry on the other six and regular sword parry on another. Both sixes were turned to 1. Then his heavy Barret rolled with 4 attack dices 3 times 1 and I parried his high roll to something like 2.

I need help of the Yaktribe! I want to make another Jack " name " Daniels for him to represent this great event, similarly as my Brother has Joey "The Unkillable" due massively injured fighter who refuses to die. I though about Jack "4 Times Hammer" Daniels, but I am open to suggestions!

Jack 'the nimble' Daniels? He can go jumping over candle sticks and poking psycopaths in their eyes with his shiv!

I updated the last report little. We played the post battle for my goliath friend. He also wanted to rename the gang, so updated it also to the actual report.

----

I also ranned out of photoshop free trial. I decided to give Gimp another change and I found extremely easy to use plug in called BIMP to GIMP, which allowed doing same effect on multiple pictures. There was also a specified cartoon filther in the program so I used it. I like pictures on this report little more than on the others, but perhaps I should adjust the cartoonish aspect a bit still..

Theme music for this battle

This was really fun fight. Marsupilami wounded jack on fast draw, he also got first turn and wounded again with flesh wound. then I failed to escape pinning, which lead to another flesh wound. that time I got pinning up, and charged towards the lady ganger. I rolled badly at first, then we tied two fights with jack and tina, before I was able to charge Sara (who escaped the multiple combat, since I wasn't able to finish the lady) best part was that we both passed bottle test on exactly best leaderships ;)

sad to see Mord dying, since he had real history on our gaming group. My Roughnecks will have really hard time to recover, but hopefully someday I get enough money to recruit another ganger.
 
Roughnecks got another game. I got new idea for my battle reports. lets see if people see it. This report made proof of concept I try to get it little better on camera end on the next battle. Lets see if people see it ;)

As usual little theme music to listen while checking the report out

I loved this battle against Marsupilami. It had much suspence going on. I said to my friend during the game that if I would really wanted to win the game at all cost, I would have jumped down to total cover with Jack, and waited there to him come closer. He had two models out of action so I would have easily got couple bottle tests before he could even harm me and I would have gotten the possibility to overwatch him ;) But I said also that Jack wasn't such pussy, but rather he tossed smoke screen infront of the ladies ;)

We had tons of laughs when both smokes got scattered right at the start of first Lady in Waiting turn and both scattered in same direction. We pictured the situation as the smoke grenade just started to rolling over to the canal ;)
 
I got little own time granted by my wife! My original though was to take my daughter to our gaming club and play quickie with my brother, but then my wife though that well... just go alone I will take care of both. It was really nice to have little time out of the house (allthough I still have done pretty much terrain during my stay in the house, but still ;) )

ok. Roughnecks went to their 8th battle. I hope you guys enjoy it!

I really loved this game. playing with only Jack and managed to score victory. My brother really didn't even consider he could lose the game and were perhaps too overconfident. For example he didn't move his heavies eventhough I managed to skip by their overwatch LoS. Secondly it was nice to get enourmos money bonus, which means I get to build new PIT SLAVES! (I will add my new pit slaves to this report as soon as I get them finished and decide what kind of slave I am going to do. Too bad that he bottled out, because I would probably managed to put joey out of action and if that would have happened I would prolly gained one territory to pillage! but anyhow, 250 credits is more than enough for me!

As I bough the inside information I was considering making a drilling pit slave and in fluffy way that pit slave tipped of a vault, controlled by the next opponent I face. So my slaves are planning to go in a raid next time. Dunno how this ends up!

Thats an awesome report as usual, and major congrats for the win! one man agaisnt a full gang (witha rating of over 2k to boot!). This is truly the stuff that legends are made off!

Hmm, 250 creds is 2-3 slaves easily! or maybe a techno and a slave? get some extra firepower back... oo the options, cant wait to see what you come up with
