Isle of the beast

Our lustrian warbands take to the seas in the next battle of the campaign. This time the amazons have cornered their lizard nemesis in an abandoned fort, and launch a surprise attack
The speedy amazon vessel arrows towards the coast
Where the lizardmen are scrambling aboard their boat
The amazons will win if they seize these three coffers or sink the enemy ship
Anchor aweigh!
On the island a deadly carnivorous plant swallows a saurus
The lizard frigate has set sail, and both vessels exchange cannonfire
A native curse leaves the skinks unfazed
While a sea serpent takes a bite off the amazon ship
Lots of fauna in these waters, including sirens
At last the amazons manage to overtake the enemy ship and head for the coast
Where carnivorous plants wreak havoc
And the skinks have formed a diminutive gunline
Too unfamiliar with foreign tech two sauruses manage to blow themselves up to kingdom come
The amazons dock
And assault the enemy compound
Harassed by the native fauna
In a show of athleticism, an amazon divebombs and skewers the skink guarding the coffers
The handmaidens try their best to clean the fort
But the girl on top of the coffers is wounded by a combination of skink daggers and creeping vines.
With he enemy vessel still afloat and the chests secured it's a defeat for the Lustry Girls!

The forbidden jungle

Second skirmish of our lustrian campaign, this time an island hopping scenario in a deadly swamp
Amazons and lizardmen will fight it out for control of the small islets spread all over the table

Amazons get the initiative and rush for the central island 
The jungle begins to stir
And an amazon scout is knocked down by a carnivorous plant
In the second turn the warrior women launch an all out charge into the saurians
While another handmaiden of the gods runs for the furthest island
All the while a heavy rain has been falling on the battlefield, hindering movement and reducing drastically the range of the bows
Equipped with a claw of the old ones, this totem warrior takes down a saurus easily

Colel, who distinguished herself in the previous game shines again taking down a skink
A lashworm springs from the fetid waters bitting off a good chunk form  a lizardman
In the central island the combat goes on, with losses in both sides
The skink priest dodges a carnivorous plant
And then snipes my priestess with his shortbow
The last saurus is also killed
Joined by a skink hero
With victory in their grasp, the amazons charge the diminutive foe
But one of them is devoured by another lashworm, the place is crawling with these critters!
The skink priest endures the charge of three amazons
And while Colel fends off the lizardmen archers
The priest kills another amazon, which brings the to the same number of warriors on the central island as the lizardmen
With two islands under each warband and the central, contested the game ends in a draw

House Ran Lo

 

While the guild of coin is the main banking institution of the underhive it is the noble houses that are the true bankers of Necromunda, and none handle more money than the Ran Lo. The leader of this auditing party is Shilock a miserly and pitiless bureaucrat that while not a noble was born in the spire and views all underhivers with a mix of contempt and disgust, if the debtors are uncooperative he subdues them with a web gun to sell them as slaves to make up for the lost credits. Hengus is his bodyguard, a skilled warrior adept at both long range sniping and close combat brawls



Of course Shilock never leves the spire without his personal adjutant, Debitum, a servoskull made from the mortal remains of his predecessor that is permanently connected to the data banks of the house thanks to a back mounted cogitator. Debitum is also equipped with powerful optics and a face recognition software, to ensure that no debtor escapes the wrath of house Ran Lo.

Border Princes map

 


Another Inkarnate map, this time about the fractious and war riven border princes

The above map is designed with the Lustria supplement system in mind, with the addition of the following special territory:

Orc Camp DV0
Orc armies that have been broken/defeated and retreated here don't need to spend a campaign point to get back to full fighting strength, in addition if controlled by an orc player it gives an extra campaign point at the beginning of his turn.

Enemy army present: 1-3 play the pitched battle scenario 4-5 play the flank attack scenario

The ruins of Chatepec

Recently I've been playing warhammer total war and got bitten by the fantasy bug again, so promptly I took out of storage my mordheim stuff and began a lustrian campaign
In our first game the beautiful amazons face some lizardmen in the depths of the jungle
The skink priest is the first to fall, eaten by a carnivorous plant
The objective of both warbands is a sacred tablet hidden in the rainforest (the golden markers)
The amazons upturn some markers but have no luck
Their priestess is even attacked by another plant, but is only knocked down
More and more creatures stir and asault the warbands
Albeit these fungus have no effect on the drugged up natives
The servants of the old ones come to grips and arrows start to fly
The skink braves are no match for Colel
By now all markers have been uncovered save the central one, this must be the tablet
The amazons rush for the sacred object, but the first is devoured by another plant
The jungle strikes indiscriminately, killing both warrior women and lizardmen
The lizards seize the tablet at last
But a barrage of arrows, magic bolts and timely charges slays its carrier, tying up the game.

In the campaign phase the lizardmen lost three skinks and struggled with the income, while the amazons got tons of cash and brave Colel became a heroine after slaughtering no less than three skinks
