Song of Blades and Heroes going Egyptian.

 

The sand is from me starting to flock (well, sand) the scenic bases.

A quick note on blogger.  I normally cut n paste from the Ganesha builder into a document.  This time I did it the other way around.  Difference, I cannot adjust the borders.  But, all the borders came out.

Set up.  I'm defending with the undead.  I chose the scenics and the objective we diced for position.

Great objective from Alternative Armies.  Yes, it needs painting:
https://www.alternative-armies.com/collections/tabletop-miniatures-15mm-fantasy-range/products/dfe01-mummified-wizard-on-throne

The Game 1) I'm close to the objective and defending.  


Tony advances in a clump vs my line.


You just know where this is going--- 

Tony does a flanker with his kepesh, the hound is in the other.  Sorcerer is being stealthy.





I put my axe up as a block, didn't go well as it's them wot got hacked.



My Hup Hit Hop breaks through and engages Big Bop.


Now it all happens a bit fast, so sort of a montage.  Big Bob is bested!


One kepesh gets mullered by two.


Hound humps archer, steals and buries best bones.


Right, now we're back on track and it's morale for lost leader.  Note I'm losing more fast---.


The spear retreat for the nearest edge.  Now out of formation---.


The hound and sorcerer move on---


Close!


My leader issues a reform order and the troops stand by their knees.


A surviving spearman charges my leader.  Amazingly it only gets shoved back.



A proper dogfight starts on the flank.  A spearman attacks the pushed back one but gets cut down by a flank charge.


Spearman moves in, shoved back.


Hack, thrust - one each.



The survivor.


Meastwhile the leader and Hup Hit Hop move in.  One shot down the other stabbed.


The remainders run for cover.


Hup Hit Hop spears one in the back.


Hup Hit Hop comes the crop.  The speared on gets up on reaction.  Faced with 2 opponents  Hup Hit Hop gets -1 so combat 1.  Then he rolls a 1 for a total of 2.  2.

The spearman has combat 2 and gets a strong strike for 3.  He rolls a 3.  2 vs 6 is a gory death--.


The surviving spearman charges my leader (so he can't get shot) and knocks him down.  Another spearman returns and finishes him on the ground.  Another grisly death!!!




Game 2)  Swapsies and a quick redice for scenery position.  Tony's undead get the objective and goes looming. 


I go for a line dance.


Undead hero goes heroic!


I send the hound in "Fetch!  Bones!"


A trap!  Hound bounded and surrounded! Hah!  With one woof it's free!



Now it's getting serious!


In with the kepesh but one gets clobbered, despite outnumbering.


Now a clash of lines.


Shoved by gory death of a khepesh!  Leaders clash with the "thruuum thruum" of magic in the air.


Cheating!  Booooo!


Stop press!  Sorcerer actually does something!  One transfixed.


Hound dashes in, does the nasty then buries the bits.  Gruesom, but no-one cares!


Another dashes in.


Crunch!  Ability to ignore these is powerful.


Dashing and smashing!  One gone wiz!


Hound chomps the leader! He's down then sent for rebirth.


With that the undead are deceased!
