The story of Clara and the Ogre. An epic tale of bravery in three screenshots. Once there was a sister of Sigmar. Her name was Clara. While out scavenging with her warband, she spied an Ogre by the name of Gargherk Ironbelly. Clara quickly ducked back behind the corner, hoping the Ogre hadn't seen her. But he had. Or perhaps he had smelled the packed lunch in her pocket. Either way, while Clara tried to be very quiet, suddenly Gargherk Ironbelly loomed above her. The rest of the warband tried to rush to her aid, but most were tied up by the other mercenaries. And while among those who did break through, was Antje Kipps - Maiden of Sigmar and in her devotion an inspiration to us all - Clara knew that her hour had finally come. She had survived more injuries than anyone else in the warband, but now she would die by the giant blade of this monster. Barely able to stand, her hammer almost slipping from her fingers, Clara said her final prayers. And then she saw the opening. She took one last defiant swing at Gargherk. Her hammer connected with the Ogre's chest plate and with an audible crack, something broke. The Ogre opened his mouth but only a muffled grunt escaped his lips as he slumped to the ground. Clara took a few stumbling steps back. Leaning her back against the wall, she closed her eyes for just a moment to rest, catch her breath and offer a prayer of thanks to Sigmar. And as she stood there, trying to understand how it was she was still alive, her sisters celebrated matriarch Delmar as the day's hero. And the moral of the tale? Nobody knows the trouble I've seen. Nobody knows but Sigmar.

Out of curiosity I just checked my roster. I started my warband with 6 members. 1 Matriarch, 1 Sister Superior, 2 Sisters, 2 Novices. Both Sisters are dead. The survivors are doing... Matriarch Delma Siegrich (Impacted Vision, Tendonitis, Near Death Experience, Light Wounds x3) Sister Superior Antje Scholz (Impacted Vision, Light Wounds x4) Novice Truda Sudenheim (Mysterious Ailment, Light Wounds x4) Novice Eloise Lawchen (Chest Wound, Missing Eye, Amok, Internal Wound, Light Wounds x4) ...I guess "well" from a Mordheim point of view? edit: updated with Truda's new mysterious ailment - cursed warlocks...

Next run was worse. At least at first. Injury wise I got lucky. The warband set up in the ruins of an old town house. Part of the walls had fallen down, and the sisters were ready to charge out from behind the walls with a direct path to the wyrdstone field. Only the purifier and one novice were going to set up a bit behind. Faster than the rest, they'd gather some loot behind my main deployment zone. I had set up half the warband when my purifier noticed the Plaguebearer lurking just behind the back wall of the building we were setting up in... Daemons are extremly powerfull. The sisters tried to make a run for it in the other direction and ran right into the mercenary warband comming from the other side. Sister Superior Antje spurred the others on and lagged behind to bring up the rear guard. (Sisters Superior get the "For Sigmar!" ability which increases the movement of a target ally - great for heavy armoured warbands). The Plaguebearer lumbered around the corner. Spend the whole mission with half the warband fighting the Plaguebearer and the other half fighting the enemy proper. How I managed to get out of it with only 3 light wounds I have no idea. edit: The AI needs more work and these new "neutral" daemons need some adjusting, but otherwise I can deffinitely recommend this game to anyone who enjoyed ironman xcom

More Mordheim. My Augur just had her arm chopped off with a greataxe. I think I had her trained for parrying with a shield. Will need to check when she returns from the infirmary...

Stupid RNG. Enemy Ogre got 3 crits in a row and took out my Matriarch. She will recover (though with a permanent -1 strength), but damn, that could have gone better.

So...she was an adventurer until she took an arrow to the knee? It was an axe That meme has really been overdone Mordheim has had roaming daemons added to the random missions. 20% chance of a pink horror, plaguebearer, bloodletter or daemonette to spawn on a given map. Quite the uproar on the steam forum as those daemons are nasty. Only encountered one myself - a plaguebearer that tore the enemy skaven apart.

Well, if you are looking for a game with cars... http://www.aurochdigital.com/blog/2015/5/21/the-end-is-nigh-games-workshops-cult-classic-dark-future-returns-heralding-the-beginning-of-the-end

Due to the weekly humble, I have spare keys for: Talisman Prologue Talisman Digital Edition (No DLC) Chainsaw Warrior Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of the Night (in other words Chainsaw Warrior 2)

Scaling the walls Preparing to storm a skaven nest: Walk like a pirate day:

My Sisters of Sigmar were gathering wyrdstone when mercenary archers started shooting down at them from the upper story of a nearby house. They surrounded the building and prepared to bash the archers' heads in when more mercs came rushing down the back street. One of the Sisters intercepted an enemy but got pounced by another. Two versus one, and stupid luck on part of the AI (no misses, no dodges/parries) and she went down fast. We routed the mercs after taking out their leader, their warlock, two of their halberdiers and stealing their idol, but back at the camp that one sister had to have her left leg amputated. Now she has a wooden leg.

Anything else you forgot, just let me know, perhaps I have a screenshot Until then:

Pffft Serious game incoming:

I'd go with Something. Sounds like a good game.

And in other news, the game Diesel Störmers had its name changed to Rogue Stormers because fashion giant Diesel felt that their trademark was being infringed. Tralalalala

How so?

The Purple Toe are in town. Fighting in fire: Mutating: Shooting people: And generally corrupting the place:

Sounds like how I won't beat Giana Sisters (to a lesser extend) and deffinitely will never touch Duck Tales again.

Will keep an eye out.

Next thing you know, there`ll be video game voice actors starting kickstarter campaigns to cut out the evil publishers. Stretch goal 2: hire an actual dev studio to make the game to go with the voice acting.

Just be glad it doesn't have Felicia Day or Will Wheaton. Does it have Klaus Kinski?

"Back"? Didn't you just move from Dead State to Age of Decadence?

Short break from Mordheim and heading to Highlands

It's in its final hours. Just 12 hours to go. I backed via their website.
