Cultists! The Knights of the Mystical Sword.

I was digging through my stacks of unpainted and I found a bag of cultists.  Some were from Artizan Design, some from Pulp Figures, and a couple from Rattrap Productions, though they no longer show on their page.

To start, we have the High Potentate of the Mystical Sword, by Pulp Figures.

A group of unarmed cultists.  Those with the crest on chest and/or hood are by Artizan Design, the uncrested are by Pulp Figures. The crested figures are the Elevated Knights of the Mystical Sword, while those without are merely Knights of the Mystical Sword.

The tommygunners, all from Artizan Design. Since they only have the crest on their hoods, they are the Ultimate Protectors of the Mystical Sword.

Pistoliers from Artizan Design and Pulp Figures. Those with the crest are the Ultimate Minions of the Mystical Sword, and the crestless, merely a Minion of the Mystical Sword.

The Knight Keeper of the Mystical Keys, from Artizan Designs, the cage is plastic and came with two enormous piles of chain.

I believe that these two figures had Rattrap engraved on the bottom of their bases. The figure in the brown suit has the only nickeled pistol because one painted black disappeared. Since they have earned neither robe nor propper hood, they are merely Acolytes of the Mystical Sword.

And finally, we have the Ultimate Torch Singer of the Mystical Knights (also the Ultimate Squeeze of the High Potentate of the Mystical Sword), flanked by the Carrier of the Mystical Torch of the Mystical Sword, and the Highest Purifier of the Mystical Sword.

Here are my cultists, eager to Purify the non-believers with bullet and flame.

Painting was pretty simple. They were all painted blue and washed with a homemade black wash. Hands were painted with a craft paint flesh and washed with GW flesh. The torch singer was painted with a lighter flesh tone with my brown wash. Her dress and hood are painted with a Martha Stewart craft paint. The swords on the crests were added with a Prismacolor Premier .005 pen. The curlicues on the High Potentate's throne were added with a fine brush.  I failed to show that the back is painted to simulate plywood.

Krogar Rescues Renee!

This is the first game I've played in a while.  I'm a little rusty both at playing and camera use. Please forgive the poor focus in a lot of the shots.
The rules are a test set of developing WH:A&A . Thanks to Bob Minadeo for sending them to me.  I hope he enjoys the battle.
I decided to do this in comic book form instead of my usual blow-by-blow method. I'm afraid you'll need to click on each page to read them. So herewith:










The only shield maiden who could have reached Krogar decided (dice) to retire, allowing Krogar, Renee, and the only functioning Nobelonga warrior left to leave the board. When Lilia attacked Krogar, he Stunned her, allowing him to escape.

When Krogar cracked his noggin, he used Star Power to avoid the Stun result.  That may have been a mistake. Bob will have to correct me on that.

The game lasted 6 turns and was quite bloody.  The butcher's bill: Nobelonga warriors: 7 warriors including the chieftan,  4 Out of the Fight and left behind, 2 killed and 1 escaped. 3 Monkey Boys, 1 Out of the Fight, 1 killed and 1 left the table. 4 Shield Maidens, the leader was killed, the other 3 survived, though 2 retired, but not off the table.

There are now 2 possible future battles. Krogar should attempt to rescue the Nobelonga warriors before Lilia sacrifices them, and Lilia will only be strengthened in her desire to kill Renee!
