The season of lethargy

The season of merriment is upon us once again. Unfortunately in Finland it's also the season of darkness, cold, darkness, wet and darkness, and all of their lovely variants such as cold darkness or cold and wet darkness. Some people are affected by this while others aren't. Alas, I am part of the former rather than latter group, and as such have had my energy sapped and spirit stamped by the cruel mother nature. I always get borderline lethargic during autumn and winter, and consequantely haven't had much drive for anything really, including my hobbies. The only painting I've done is some Roomans (more on those in a future post once I have them all painted) and some fixes on the Eldar army. I do follow things though, and I'm pretty happy with the combined rulebooks being released for Necromunda. I already have the gang war books, but I'll be getting the new ones as well due to the convenience factor. December White Dwarf was packed with extras aswell, Delaques rulebooklet and  extra cards for several games, including Dice Masters (which I also play), which was pretty nice. The card is actually pretty good too.

The White Dwarf himself - and he's angry at you!

I also got another game of Necromunda in a couple of weeks ago which was nice. Won this time.

Suzy and the Slayers faced off against their old foe, the bounty hunter posse going by the name Aver's Gits as they were trying to escape through Slayer territory. Aver himself sneaked off right away, leaving his associates to fend for themselves. The Slayers held their positions, peppering the escaping bounty hunters with las and slug at every turn. The damage, though, was light. Despite several wounded only Borg went out of action, choking on a gas trap set by May. On the other side of the zone Lefty proved himself not above kicking a girl when she's down, putting Fio out cold. She survived, but needs resting. Seeing their leader leave them and their comrades bleeding out, the Gits broke and bottled out. Despite being victorious the Slayers felt like they gained little (most of which was bruises). The Gits however had their reputation swell for survivng against the mighty Slayers.

This time there was more terrain.

Kasumi, May and Anja guarding one of the chokepoints the Gits needed to pass through.
