Fistful of Lead: Tales of Horror - Necromancer Group

-
To take on my Hunter group in Tales of Horror, I have created this Necromancer group - although the characters are still unnamed!

"Bring out your dead!"


Necromancer
Leader
Shoot: d12
Close Combat: d12
Traits
Leader: They give a +1 to the die roll to any model attempting to make a roll to recover from being Shaken or Wounded. The model must be within 12” and within line of sight (not blocked by terrain) of the Leader to give this “encouragement”. A natural roll of “1” still causes model to rout when attempting to become Unshaken, and expire from their wounds if rolling to get up from a wound.
Veteran: You use a d12 for all rolls.
God-like: This Necromancer ignores Wound penalties on movement, attack and recovery rolls. In addition, treat “Out of Action” rolls as Wounds instead. It can only be destroyed after losing all its wounds.
Leach: If you cause a Wound or Out of Action in Close Combat, immediately heal one wound.
Lightning fast: If you are the target of a successful shoot action, immediately make a hard task roll (8+). If successful, the shooter misses.
Weapons
Ancient Tome

Acolyte
Specialist
Shoot: d0
Close Combat: d12
Traits
Soulless: You never take Shaken results. But your lack of self-preservation makes you easier to hit. Anyone targeting you with a Shoot action gets a +1 to their roll.
Brute: You have no ranged combat abilities, but get to use a d12 (12-sided-die) for
Close Combat.
Weapons
None.


"Here there be Zombies!"

Zombies
Henchmen
Shoot: d0
Close Combat: d8
Traits
Soulless: You never take Shaken results. But your lack of self-preservation makes you easier to hit. Anyone targeting you with a Shoot action gets a +1 to their roll.
Slow: Move only 4” per action.
Zombies can only be killed by an Out of Action result on the wound chart. Shock and Wounds knock them down.
Weapons
None.

Ancient Tome
Death Bolt: Caster must have line of sight to the target, but ignores cover. The spell has short range of 9” and a long range of 18”. If the spell hits, the target has a +1 to wound rolls. If the spell hits on a natural roll of 10 or more, the wound roll is at +2.
Corpse Call: Out of Action characters within 6” can be raised as a Zombie on a casting roll of 8+. Only one attempt per character.
Shadow Walk: On a roll of +5 the Necromancer can move up to 12” in any direction including vertically. On a roll of 8+, they may move up to 24”.

Ambush at the Canyon - A Fistful of Lead game.

-
Image
Woohoo, first game of 2024! This time we dived into the 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' scenario book. Picking the first scenario ' The Waterin' Hole ' as the basis for the game. Whilst on a manhunt for the 'Bad Hombres' gang, Marshal Bill and his posse have stopped for some rest and much needed meal. What the Marshal doesn't know is that the 'Bad Hombres' led by Ricardo are about to spring an ambush in the canyon. The posse start surrounding the camp fire. The 'Bad Hombres' start on the high ground in the canyon. Also, they took up the option of  placing a gang member in reserve, with the caveat that he turns up at one end of the canyon within the first three turns. Marshal Bill would get 5 Renown points for killing or capturing Ricardo. Also, he would get 1 Renown point for each of the 'Bad Hombres' killed or captured. The 'Bad Hombres' had different victory conditions. Ricardo couldn't leave the ...

Massacre at Briar's Bend - A Fistful of Lead Game

Another scenario from 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' with the third scenario "Massacre at Briar's Bend". This time, Marshal Bill and his Posse get to have a rest, as for this scenario, it is Native American Braves versus the US Cavalry. A Cavalry patrol has set up camp amongst some rocks by a river. The Cavalry are armed with (not so trusty) carbines and pistols. In this scenario, if a carbine suffers a '1' when shooting, the player rolls a dice and if the result is odd, then suffers an additional 'out of ammo' token. The Braves start in two group of 5, in the opposite corners not covered by woods. To add a bit of drama to the game, the game length would only be determined at the start of Turn 6. Rolling a D10, a result of 1-6 would mean the game lasts 6 turns, any other result would the number of turns the game lasts. The Campsite The Braves on the other side of the river used both their turns to advance to the riv...

Dead Set Britain

Cruising through the empty streets, Jezza and the gang stumbled upon a promising spot for exploration: three houses and a construction site that looked ripe for looting.   They pulled up in the Transit and quickly devised a plan. Jezza and Captain Slow would tackle two of the houses, while Hamster and Stig would take on the remaining one and the construction site. Turn 1 Captain Slow sprinted to the first house. Finding the front door locked, he took a chance and kicked it in with a crash. Jezza bolted past him, heading straight upstairs. Meanwhile, Stig leapt out of the Transit and dashed to take cover behind a maroon Rover parked on the street.   Hamster quickly realized the commotion had attracted the attention of the zombies nearby. Without hesitation, he pulled out his trusty pistol and fired at one of the undead. He missed, but the shot did its job—drawing the zombies toward him instead. Turn 2 Jezza and Captain Slow charged upstairs tow...
