Rebellion ascendant

 

After the summer break is time to get back to the dice, and given that right now I'm watching the Ahsoka series we've played a SW legion game featuring her and some other TV celebrities

Mando, Ahsoka and Luke lead the rebel alliance

Oposed by Palpatine and vader no less

The deathwatch gets first move and launch their rockets into the ATST

The imperials answer by zooming in the scout bikes

While the stormtroopers trade shots with other mandalorians

Mando takes aim and immobilizes Vader with his amban rifle

Pinned in place the sith lord is then charged by Ahsoka

Targeted by half the rebel army the scout bikes die

Battle end with the rebels holding two objectives out of three, achieving a well earned victory

The sentinels of Xeti

 

Amazons and lizardmen have reached the pyramids of Xeti looking for a sacred gold tablet. The rains stop and a radiant day shines as both warbands search the ruins

The lizards get the first turn and explore the colossal slann head and the spawning pool without success

The amazons also look for the fabled tablet on their side of the board

Finding it next to the pyramid

With the treasure on enemy hands, the lizards must push forwards, but a vicious carnivore plant falls upon one of their heroes

In a desperate rush skinks and sauruses run towards the prize

Well protected by the amazon warriors

Surprisingly, instead of charging the foe the skinks decide to fire arrows between the vegetation, giving the amazons more than enough time to carry the tablet safely towards their board edge

As ever nature is far more deadly than the warbands, killing and knocking down both lizardmen and warrior women indiscriminately

Priestess Chel shields her women with magic as the treasure nears the exit point

While part of the amazon warband takes the treasure to safety, the rest charge valiantly towards the foe covered by the ineffective shots of their comrades 

One of the girls stumbles on a quicksand, but thanks to wearing only a leopard bikini she manages to get out without any trouble

A poor skink hero is charged by two savage amazons and slaughtered

Even the formidable saurus proves no match for the Slithering Tribe today, killed by the combined power of drugs and magic swords of the Old Ones

The skinks keep firing from the bushes, managing to kill a totem warrior with their shortbows

But alas, they have suffered too many losses and flee the battlefield

Leaving the sacred tablet in the hands of priestess Chel

And with this amazon victory concludes our gaming season, see you in September after the holidays!

Amazon reinforcements

 

As I got more and more gold in the Mordheim campaign I realized that my amazon warband was lacking in numbers. Promptly I contacted my local 3D dealer and ordered a batch of new warriors, who were painted just in time for the third game

The women of the slithering serpent tribe like to adorn themselves with jewels, scaly skins and feathers, using their tattoos to convey both wealth and experience; that way the most inked up warriors are always the nobles and priestesses of the community

I found out that in Lustria ranged warfare is not very effective, between the heavy rainstorms and the prevalent jungle cover, so these girls are all equipped for hand to hand with swords, axes and bucklers

All members of the tribe have a serpent tattoo somewhere on their body that they recieve upon coming of age. This sacred reptile is the totem animal of their patron god Sotek

Still a bronze age civilization amazons do not use iron, but their archaic weaponry is as effective as that of more advanced races, boosted as it is by the power of the Old Ones
