    • Chapter 88 ~ Anyone remember the Skaven?

    Having sailed back home on Cpt Jameson barge we worked on sorting out Silavan's will.  Turned out are timing was perfect as Michael Stich was down from Nuln to do the same!  Flendac managed to convince him that he was part of the secret slaanesh cult and got the deeds to the docks without a fight.

    After that we went to see Dagmar to let her know Asterellion had put a bounty on her head.  We flatly refused to help her kill the War-dancers but when she offered us 5000 crowns to deal with the Skaven vermin we decided to give that a go.

    We knew there were too many for us to take them all out at once but thought we might be able to sneak around and deal with a few to reduce numbers.  Seeing a couple of Sentries Madoc scared them with him undead form and we ran forward intent on stabbing them.  Unfortunately the chittering had alerted others and the flying mutant swooping into view causing Zena and Flendac to faint with terror.

    Terrified Tayy fled but Madoc held his wraith form stopping most of the Skaven from advancing on his friends.  The monster landed smashing Zena in the head and leaving her for dead walked back to his companians with her sword.  Flendac recovered and, grabbing his own weapon, turned tail and fled.

    With the Rats occupied Zena was able to sneak away and we all slunk back to the city.  Gaining the title of Harbour Master Tayy took over running the docks for Flendac giving them both a tidy income.  He also made a side deal with the Dragon club to give them late night access in exchange for extra cash for Flendac and himself.  With the city safe the happy Halfing retired from adventuring life.

    Blood Bowl Inducement Review As most of the inducement options from Death Zone are allowed in LBBL games I thought it was worthwhile providing a summary of what is available.  I have also added a quick colour code to say if I think the options are Good , Bad or Situationally useful.  Remember as per the League handbook you must bring along an official copy of the relevant rulebook for any Inducement you are using.  This guide is intended to be used to help you decided if you want to buy a copy of Death Zone not as a replacement for it.  Remember folks we get an extra 5% off at Geek Retreat on League night! Death Zone offers (In)Famous Coaching Staff, new Wizards, Named Referees and a small number of other cheap options for using up petty cash.   0-2 (In)famous Coaching Staff Galandril Silverwater 40,000 gp Elven Kingdoms Extra Cheerleaders and a minimal chance of extra Team Re-rolls if that kick off event happens.  I will pass thank you.

    Death Zone 2020 - A Review

    Image
        Once again we have a beautifully produced full colour book that is slightly marred by the lack of proof reading.  Almost everything in the book is a reprint of the 2016 content updated to use the new team special rules.  There are little things such as Ranulf the Ref still having to "roll higher than the AV of the player" even though the main rule book changes AV 7 to be AV 8+ being everyone else is having to roll equal to AV.  Then we have the new Mercenary rules where the Elf starts with AG 2+ but can increase this by 2 to AG 0+ when AG 1+ is the max allowed!!? New Inducements This section takes all the inducements printed in the old Death Zone and Spike journals and updates them to use the new team special rules.  Instead of being taken by an Orc or Dwarf team they are now Badlands Brawl or Worlds Edge.  This expands which teams can take them.  Some of the inducements have had minor alterations and there are a couple I have not seen before.

    Tyranid Etymology

    Image
    The Tyranid Threat Since our first sporadic contacts with Genestealers there have been many misconceptions associated with them. We first thought they were indigenous to the moons of Ymgarl, later this was determined to be in err and subsequently a xenocide campaign was conducted on said moons. When the Tyranid hivefleets came upon the Imperium, the creatures were named in relation to the first notable plant to fall before their advance, the exploratory station of Tyran. – Draco Legion Biomedical Reserch station: NewHallefuss Origin of the Species Most of the Tyranid organisms in the Warhammer 40k universe have been given Latin or Greek names. This makes them sound more exotic and fits with the general use of Latin by the Imperium. I can not really take credit, beyond compilation, for this etymology as it is all taken from other websites, particually Wiktionary. Biovore – This suffix comes from the Latin vorare (to devour), and is used to form nouns indicating what kind of
