Lost Construct AKA Find the Golem

-

Having suffered defeat in their last adventure, the Pact took the chance to rest and recover. However, the Pact were short on Hirelings and Silver.

Before they could continue with their campaign, they needed to make some money fast. Freddo headed to the Mercado to look for any jobs going. Fortunately, he saw a parchment nailed to a board. Ripping the parchment off the board, Freddo ran back to the rest of the Pact.


The Mission Parchment
Another wizard had created an Iron Golem. Unfortunately for him, his golem had run off and subsequently gone missing. As a result, the Wizard was offering a reward for its safe return.

The missing Iron Golem
Turn 1

Spending the last of their Silver on two D6 Hirelings, the Pact set off to look for the errant golem. Arriving in the area where the golem had been seen, the pact split up to search for it.

Unfortunately, this area was known to be patrolled by Orcs (D10), Goblins (D8) and Giant Ants (D6). Sure enough, Giant Ants and Goblins appeared.

 
Turn 2
 
Giant Ants and Goblins deployed, and immediately one group set off to defend the nearest objective. The other group deployed in the middle of the table and sought to attack the nearest Pact members. Although Gimme managed to successfully defend, one of the D6 Hirelings died at the hands of a Giant Ant.
 
 
Turn 3
 
More Giant Ants arrived and set about attacking Legolan. The Elf fortunate to survive.
 
 
The remaining D6 Hireling gave his life to protect Freddo.

 
Gimme used 'Blood Rage' to exact revenge on the enemy.
 
 
Turn 4
 
Having identified which ruin the golem was hiding in, it was a race to claim it before the Giant Ants and Goblins overwhelmed the Pact. 

Gimme decided to use Ruark's Horn. This healed all the Pact members of one wound and effectively stunned the enemy. This action allowed Gandwarf to move towards the golem.
 
 
Turn 5
 
Orcs now started to appear. Trying to protect Gandwarf's flank, Gimmi and Legolan found themselves in the thick of a vicious melee.
 
 
Turn 6
 
Gimme and Legolan continued to melee in the centre, attracting numerous enemies into combat.
 
 
Freddo tried to do his bit, before being charged down by an Orc
 
 
Turn 7
 
Entering the last turn and the situation was looking dicey. With Orcs surrounding him, Gandwarf successfully cast 'Superior Arcane Evasion'. Grabbing the golem, he teleported away from the Orcs and his free movement to move towards the table edge. Making a D8 roll, Gandwarf successfully exited the table and successfully completed the adventure.
 
 
 
Epilogue
 
Another tight game, that could have quite easily gone either way. The use of Ruark's Horn, providing the opportunity for the Pact to win.

Gandwarf managed to cast 2 spells and eliminated 7 Giant Ants and 4 Goblins. Freddo the Halfling used 2 potions and eliminated 5 Giant Ants and 4 Goblins as well. Despite spending most of the game in melee, Gimme managed to kill 2 Giant Ants and 4 Goblins. Proving ineffective again, Legolan killed 1 Giant Ant and 3 Goblins.

With the return of the Golem, Gandwarf was given the Adder's Kiss enchanted dagger. Enough silver was gained for each Pact member to each have a D10 Hireling and a D8 Hireling. Also, 4 Tokens were discovered and shared amongst the Pact members.

We're all going on a Tribble hunt!

-

Inspired by the 'Attack Tribble' that appeared in an episode of Star Trek: Picard, I found some suitable miniatures that would lend themselves to gaming. The Attack Tribble from Star Trek: Picard I purchased these Triblite sculpts (designed by Lost Heresy) from a TwistedPinnacle3D on Etsy . The sculpts needed a little TLC upon arrival, as a few of the Triblites were misprinted. Also, some of the base rims had broken and neded repairing. Triblite Queen and Swarms protect their nest. More Triblite Swarms. I managed to create some Xenos Rampant stats for my Klingons and Triblites and had a quick game with them both. Klingons attack the Queen. Triblite Swarms charge some Klingons. Klingons find themselves surrounded by Triblites.

Ambush at the Canyon - A Fistful of Lead game.

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

28mm 3d printed Star Trek style warp shuttle

Earlier this year, there was a Kickstarter run by 2nd Dynasty for some 28mm compatible spaceships. I was pleased to see that one of the ships (a shuttle) was available as a Warp Shuttle variant and looked very suitable for Star Trek. However, my initial interest was then dampened by the fact that the Kickstarter was just for the files and that you would have to print the ships yourself. Not having a 3d printer, I let my interest wane. My interest was recently renewed by a couple of threads on Lead Adventure Forum and The Miniatures Page. Another wargamer had one of the 2nd Dynasty ships custom printed for him. More importantly the printer they used was based in the UK. Having found their website ( https://www.proteus3dmodelling.com/ ), I sent them an email asking if they could print the Warp Shuttle version. Imagine my joy when they replied with a yes! Proteus 3D Modelling were very professional and kept informed with updates and pictures of my shuttle. Additionally, they consulte
