I am starting a brand new thread for my Warhammer Quest related stuff. I have both Silver Tower and Hammerhal, and a few extras as well. I hope to get them all painted up over the course of this school year.

 

I decided to start with the Brimstone Horrors.

 

 

[Thorvald the Relentless]

Great! But as it's Tzeentch, I'd paint them in more eerie colors

[Steven]

Ha! I love their little teeth.

[Sharkbelly]

I have to apologize... I've been forgetting to come by and update. I've gotten a lot of painting done, as you will see:

 

My group and I played through the first game in a campaign yesterday. It was a blast! We started in the library. The one lone Pink Horror that was acting as librarian wasn't too tough, and left us feeling pretty good about our chances.

 

 

Next up was the Whirligig passage. This one got crowded really fast, and we were worried that we would be overwhelmed. But after slogging it out, we managed just fine.

 

 

Then came the Abandoned Nest. We discovered it was home to an exotic enemy, and went with the Exalted Flamer. Fortunately the Knight Questor was able to put some damage on it before the Fireslayer Doomseeker finished it off.

 

 

The next room was Perilous Footing, which was appropriate enough because there was a trip of Screamers hovering around in it. The Knight made good use of his challenge ability to draw them in so they wouldn't get fly-by attacks on their own turn.

 

 

Finally, we arrived at the last room: Searing Beams. This one featured two turnable pillars that fire beams of searing light. The room was absolutely packed with cultists and horrors, but by now we had started to work out a routine. The Excelsior Warpriest used his blast of holy energy to pop 6 or 7 Brimstone Horrors at once.

 

 

We actually had to stop the game because we ran out of time, and have not yet finished the final encounter with the Gaunt Summoner. So I will let you know how it turns out!

[Thorvald the Relentless]

Aye, the game is very good, I totally agree, I've enjoyed it many times. Hysh adventure is more or less easy, others will give you no quarter, sure

[Sharkbelly]

Doh! Thanks for the warning!

[Thorvald the Relentless]

I remember this still. After Hysh I went to Ghyran and... well, in the grand chamber you encounter the ogroid plus an army of tzaangors. It was fun

[Sharkbelly]

Looking forward to it! Meanwhile, I finished the summoner. Here he is, along with the heroes who want to stop him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Thorvald the Relentless]

Elf and slayer are the best! Keep it up. I especially like that you have chosen dark red for the dwarf rather than this bright orange GW so adores. 

[Sharkbelly]

Thank you very much! They've been a lot of fun to paint.

 

I finished the Herald this morning:

 

 

And here is the army so far:

 

[Sharkbelly]

Sorry for the poor quality photo, but we finished out battle with the Gaunt Summoner the other day.

 

We went in with mostly full health and got a very lucky roll on the fate dice (no doubles). This allowed us to pretty much steam roll the summoner. Although the Knight Questor did his best to extend the combat by whiffing on 5 out of 6 attacks...

[Thorvald the Relentless]

The last chamber without losses? Great, you are lucky indeed, although it's not a very hard adventure. Did you use the beams to burn the enemy?

[Sharkbelly]

We did. That was a nice addition to the room.

[Sharkbelly]

The familiars are finished.

 

[Thorvald the Relentless]

Nice work! Although I'd make them all a bit lighter, but that's just my view on such dark minis

[Sharkbelly]

I think they're lighter in person than in pictures. :-)

 

We went on our second foray into the Tower. It was successful, but I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted. 

 

Entering the Tower, facing some Kairic Acolytes

 

 

The Warpriest popping some Brimstone Horrors

 

 

 

Facing off with the "Mummy"

 

[Thorvald the Relentless]

Chamon this time?

[Sharkbelly]

I think so!

 

I picked up a new 'Ard Case over the holidays. I have packed it full of models and am getting ready to fly half way around the world. I'll let you all know how it all turns out!

 

[Thorvald the Relentless]

Cool! I hope it's so stable and reliable as people say, though

[Sharkbelly]

It did very well. Even the old metal bat swarms survived intact!
