Trouble up North - Turn 1

Post by Joshua » Wed Nov 17, 2021 10:29 pm

Off to a flying start!

Black Knights - Scribonius

Image
To start things off, Dennis (the crossbowman) and Geoff fire their arrows/bolts into the Undead.

Image
And score a kill! Nick (the other crossbowman) fired off a shot as well, but failed to cause harm.

Image
Dirk and Fritz move forward and flip the wrecked catapult into a more defensible position.

Image
Sir Marcus spots something in the back of the fort and takes off running.

Image
He grabs it and lugs it all the way back towards the front line.

Image
And uses it to create a nice barrier.

Undead - Brikboyz

Image
The Jarl runs forward and swings his axe. Although Sir Marcus parried it, he loses an HP.

Image
Sir Marcus retaliates, but the Jarl catches the blow on his enormous shield.

Image
Next, the wolf leaps into the air...

Image
And lands right on top of the catapult, knocking it down and disrupting both Fritz and Dirk.

Image
The Jarl also ends up disrupted.

Image
Some Undead advance, with a spear-skeleton attacking Sir Marcus and the crossbow wielding skeleton firing a bolt.

Image
Sir Marcus deflects the attack with ease, Dennis (the totally would have been Menace) does not.

Image
The necromancer tries reviving the fallen skeleton.

Image
And is successful!

Image
The rest of the skeletons move forward, with one attacking a skjoldbærer. It's attack is deflected with ease.

Image
The necromancer hops onto the giant spider as it scuttles over towards the front of the fortress. I wonder what he is up to...

Vikings - Cyberman

Image
First off, a skjoldbærer kills the skeleton he was fighting.

Image
Thror winds up his throwing arm...

Image
And chucks his axe straight into the wolf's head! -1HP

Image
Thror then jumps onto the wolf and plunges his blade into it's neck while simultaneously retrieving his axe. -1HP

Image
He does a backflip off the wolf, lands in front of it, and growls menacingly.

Sir Marcus: "Whoa..."

All Vikings: "Thror! Thror! Arrgh!"

Due to Thror's ossum display of badassery, all the other Vikings are emboldened.

Image
These two move up, killing a skeleton and forming a defensive shield formation.

Image
The lookout Viking begins pushing the massive catapult to face the direction of the attackers.

Image
Before picking up one of the massive boulders and loading it. He'll be able to fire it next turn.

Image
And lastly, this skjoldbærer almost reaches the battle line.

Nice so far. I am a little concerned about the black knights as each of them has a name (aka plot armor).
Too many bricks, never enough time.

No, Scribonius just likes to give all his dudes a name. He did the same thing in The Battle of the West Emnet Plains. They all have standard health, armor values except Sir Marcus, since he's a hero.
