On Wednesday my friend John came over for a game of Frostgrave. We have started a 3 player campaign a few weeks ago then life got in the way and we haven't got a lot of games in. In the campaign I have a Chronomancer, with 2 big wins under my belt. John's Necromancer has only gotten 1 game in with only 1 treasure grab. So I took this opportunity to try a different Warband, an Enchanter.
Enchanter Warband:
Enchanter and Apprentice
2 Archers
Ranger
4 Thugs
Animal Companion- Bear
Necromancer Warband
Necromancer and Apprentice
Barbarian and Templar
Infantryman and 2 Thugs
My Enchanter's Warband in the foreground. The Necro is on the back edge of the table.
My Wizard moves aggressively towards his apprentice.
And I pay for it. My Bear is one-zotted with an Elemental Bolt.
My Apprentice, a Ranger and 2 archers try to hold off, the Necromancer, Barbarian and Templar.
I summon another Animal Companion, another bear and charge him with a thug into combat.
My apprentice and bow support look dangerous but things go down hill rapidly from here.
The Ranger eats a Lightning Bolt. I use telekinesis to grab the treasure away from the Necromancer.
The bear is handing out an ass whooping. The troll is a wandering monster. It was supposed to be a bear, but I only had the one model. The troll adds to the carnage. I lose my Thug.
My bear mauls the Necro's Apprentice, but not before the apprentice Zaps my Enchanter down to 1 health.
Making a run for the border…
The game ended with lots of dead on both sides. We both lost our Apprentices. The Frostgrave "redshirts" Thugs took it hard on both sides. I grabbed 3 treasures to 1, but since my cheating bear stopped one from being taken, It will be 2 treasures for the Necromancer.
