On the retreat from Pavona a group of Dwarfs led by Grok the Dwarf Ranger are scouting a track through a deserted village.
Hi ho, hi ho...
Heading past the graveyard as night is falling Grok and the other six dwarfs are wondering what may have smashed open the graves.
But they don't see what is lurking in the ruins...
And lurking in the trees...
Watching and waiting...
Then all hell breaks loose.
The ghouls attack from two sides.
The dwarfs are outnumbered.
Grok knocks them down and finishes them off.
The dwarfs have better weapon skill but the ghouls have two attacks and higher initiative.
The fighting is very fierce, the dwarfs are up against it.
Three dwarfs are out of action, the ghouls keep coming and things are looking bleak.
Grok gets wounded, it's a good job he can take two wounds.
Grok kills off another ghoul.
Finally the ghouls lose their nerve and scarper.
Off they go!.
Grok knows how to do it!.
A canny little skirmish, not much manoeuvre though, the dwarfs don't move very quickly.
A fun looking game and a close call for the good guys at that. Love the sculpts for those dwarves, too, particularly Grok! Were you using Warhammer rules or something else?
ReplyDeleteCheers John, I was using Warhammer sixth edition which has a skirmish variant based on Mordheim. I am really enjoying a nostalgia Old World phase at the moment.
