Dirty Greg's Despoilers of the Blight!

Howdy!   The Wargate's revvin' up plenty of gaming goodness this week, folks - but today we're going to be talking about the warband who won our Death in the Delve campaign a few months ago.  It's Dirty Greg and his Despoilers of the Blight!

Greg painted these back for the Mordheim campaign, but we just got some pics yesterday when Jerry stopped by and snapped these up for the blog.  This is a Mordheim Possessed Warband, and Greg used Quickshade Strong Tone on these.  They are based with slate from a Warhammer 40,000 basing kit.

Here we have the Magister and his closest toadies.  From left to right, it's a Darksoul, Possessed, Magister and Mutant.  It's no coincidence the Mutant looks a lot like Krampus...

Here are the Despoiler Brethren.  These guys are tough, and pack a wallop with those axes.  There were so many axes in the campaign, almost no one got an armor save.  Ever.  Note the model with the bow - during our campaign, another Possessed player complained about not having missile weapons, or models available that depicted bows.  I was about to tell him about Chaos Archers in Battle Masters, Empire Militia or Huntsmen, Bretonnian Bowmen and all sorts of other ideas where to find conversion pieces - but all I ended up saying was "Greg built one."

Beastman Gors!  These guys are strong in Mordheim, and we all quickly learned how fast we need to deal with Strength 4 creatures with axes.  Over time, his warband grew, and Greg added more implements of destruction to their armaments.  The full-on-dead-bodies warband was actually quite a sight to behold, and quite intimidating on the other side of the (very small!) board.

We started hiring mercenaries pretty early on in the campaign, and Dirty Greg simply would not allow himself to be out-dirtied.  These models represent his Hired Swords, namely a Pit Fighter, Ogre Bodyguard and Warlock!  These were done around Christmas, and I took to derisively calling the Pit Fighter "Krys Kryngal" every chance I got.

Greg did well for himself during this last campaign, and his victory has directed the ongoing saga of the Khazid Grimaz and southwestern Wissenland that we are conducting here at the Wargate.  Chaos has a firm grip on the underground city now that the greenskins have been pushed out.

Dirty Greg must have felt bad that the Khazid was now in even more dire straits thanks to his big win.  In the new campaign, Welkommen Zu Wissenland, he's now playing High Elves!  Can't wait to see what those turn out like!

Stay tuned folks!  We'll have more Army Briefings and Project Logs to show you as we get closer to summertime!
