Tilea Campaign Part 38

THE ASSAULT ON MIRAGLIANO Part One (Deployment) When Captain-General Lord Alessio had received all his scouts’ reports concerning the approaches to the city, it was obvious that no route was safe, but that one, at least, was potentially better than the rest. The taint of necromantic magic had permeated far beyond the city itself, so […]

A Cornucopia of Corpses

A Prequel to the Assault on Miragliano They had already approached the city walls as close as they dared and had no intention of doing so again. Nofri convinced the other two that there was no real need, for their orders were to scout the sodden land around the city, and did not specify any […]

An Entire Army Of Cultists!

This article does not show every component part of the ‘Morrite’ cultist army, and I seem to have failed to make many ‘WIP’ shots at all (I must have thought there would be little interest), but it should show a lot of the models involved. The Disciplinati di Morr had special rules, being modified versions […]

The ‘Arrabiatti’ (i.e. angry) Brotherhood

(A band of brigand horsemen in northern Tilea) These are an infamous band of brigands, with a ‘popular’ tradition of fighting for justice, supposedly lending aid to good causes and against cruel enemies, yet at the same time robbing and plundering to enrich themselves, and to live. They were until recently (and perhaps still are) […]

Corpse wagon

When the Church of Morr’s most holy carroccio (mobile shrine) was captured by the undead, Biagino, the vampire arch-priest of Nagash, decided he would mock the Church of Morr by de-sanctifying it and making it into a mobile altar for Nagash. Effectively a huge corpse cart with extra ranged powers. I called in a ‘Corpse […]

Swamp Zombies

I bought a box of the new Warhammer zombies, which I ‘de-rooted’ & ‘de-branched’. I managed to stretch the box from 20 to 23 models, kit-bashing in some other bits. I also bought 12 of the Black Tree Designs’ ‘Zombies of the Sweltering Swamps’ to mix the unit up a bit more. I was hoping […]

Tilea Campaign, Part 37

DISCORD, DANGERS AND DISINCLINATION An Excerpt from Bonacorso Fidelibus’s Work: The Many Wars of the Early 25th Century The First Months of Summer, 2404 In the far south there was much relief in Alcente when the Sartosan Corsairs’ army moved away from the city, without commencing a siege. Perhaps the mauling they had received at […]

TWICE, THRICE AND MORE SHALL I KILL (ETC), BATTLE REPORT CONTINUED

Part 3, The Fighting Ends (Game Note: The annihilation mortar took 3 wounds from the crossbowmen in turn 2, and so was now reduced to a mere 2 wounds. This explains David’s attempt to move it to the river’s edge by another, safer route. The trouble is, whichever enemy unit arrives per turn from now […]

Annihilation Bombard

During construction and discussion with the skaven player, we called this the ‘super-mortar’ or ‘uberweapon’. I like the name (above) I finally came up with for the stories. I stupidly deleted most of the photos of the earliest stages when I was trying to create space on my phone (for the later pictures … doh!) […]

Skaven engine guard

I had to get busy scratch-building and kit-bashing to create adequate protective gear to protect them from the deadly gases leaking constantly from the engine they guard. I played around with bits to make a mask and air-filtration tank … The first mask came together like this … And milliputted up like this … I […]
