In Your Inquisitor's House, Breaking Stuff

Yesterday was the monthly Kill Team meet-up for Endgame's Inquisition War campaign. As always, the setting was awesome:
The ruins and structures represent the Defender's personal estate and the valuables therein. The Attacker is trying to get inside and do as much damage to the enemy Retinue as possible, and steal as much loot and intel as possible.
Get to the hedges!!!

Inquisitor Ziggy and his Eldar from Mars were tasked with breaking into two Puritan Inquisitor's estates. The goal was to hold objectives (each worth 3 VP) and take down the enemy Retinue. The whole game was played under Nightfight rules, and each area of the estate was booby trapped (pass an initiative test or get blown up by frag grenades). Another great example of how simple rule changes can add so much to the narrative of your games.

The first game was against Inquisitor Preod Levat, Wayward renegade of the Ordo Malleus, Slave to Tzeentch, and eternally marked by warpfire (aka Steve) and his warband. The sneaky Eldar snuck up behind two unsuspecting acolytes, only to miss all of their shots and do absolutely nothing. Steve's scatter die was on fire, and his plasma cannon servitor made good use of it against Ziggy's hapless, probably drunk retinue. It ended with Hoof locked in combat with the Inquisitor, and Ziggy hiding behind his Chimera. Steve took this one 9-4. 

In the second game, against Puritan Inquisitor Thalomin Montus (aka Kevin), Inquisitor Schmidt couldn't hide behind his Chimera because it was melta'd into a crater on turn one. Once again, Hoof charged into the middle of the Inquisitor's house and wrecked the place. On the last turn, he knocked Inquisitor Montus back and chased down a poor acolyte to grab a booby trapped objective. He survived, bleating at the moon. Kevin won the game 10-7.

Big thanks to Steve and Kevin, Mike for running the show, and Endgame in Oakland for being such an incredible LGS. I'll post a story for one of these games when I get a chance. Enjoy the pictures below.
Until next time!
