Song of Blades and Heroes

Got in some games of Song of Blades and Heroes this past weekend. Jack and I worked up a scenario with an Eeeeeevil temple in the center, with the different factions vying to obtain a magical gem in the statue. To obtain the gem, a figure must spent an activation in front of the statue, not engaged in combat, and pass 3 quality die rolls in a single turn to pry it out.

We play tested it on Friday night. Jackson too his Necromancer war band, which consisted of a Magic User and 10 skeleton warriors. Here he is with his crew...

I took a Lizardman war band that consisted of a Lizardman war chief, 4 warriors, and 4 light skirmishing archers. He handily defeated me, here is a picture of the final moments, with my chief being set upon by a couple of skeletons.


Tom came over Sunday and we did a three way battle with Jack with his Necromancer, Tom playing the lizard men and I with a band of blood thirsty orcs. All went well until I lost my leader and EVERYONE failed their morale tests...

Tom and Jack duked it out over the temple, with Tom pulling out a win despite grievous losses.

Here is Jack be moaning a horrible activation roll..

And here is one of the final moments as the undead forces made a final push...

I am still totally digging on the Song of Blades and Heores rules. I am going to clear the table and give their "shooty" rules, Flying Lead, a swing. I am a dyed in the wool Two Hour Wargames fan, but I think the Ganesha Games rules are easier for folks to get their heads around. Going to set up a table and try them for a sci-fi shoot out.

Ok, I am back to the painting table!!!
