Marbic receives a job offer from a guilder patron on Hydresar X. The crew have to ‘deliver a package’ and they will receive a generous reward.
Lady Heldycryn tours the town and meets Venda Hezel, a downhiver with a knack for tech. The crew has been suffering with poorly maintained weapons, and Lady H thinks she will be a useful asset. Marbic begrudgingly agrees, but it will eat into his profits… He decides to accept the job offer and get Hezel to ‘deliver the package’.
 |
| Newcomer Venda Hezel. Will she earn a spot on the crew? |
However, someone is opposed to the crew’s mission. A bounty hunter is after them and has raised a vigilante posse!
 |
| The central storage tank is the crew’s target |
 |
| Roma, Lady H and Julio take one flank |
 |
| The rest of the crew take the other. |
 |
| Here comes the vigilantes! |
 |
| They rush the centre |
 |
| Hezel runs toward the tank as Chugger puts down suppressing fire |
 |
| But she goes down! |
 |
| The Bounty Man charges ahead of his heavy weapons |
 |
| Roma comes under heavy fire |
 |
| She prays to the Emperor as shots fly past her |
 |
The vigilantes run into a murderous crossfire,
and a frag grenade finishes them off. |
Julio picks up the dropped meltabombs and ‘delivers’ them to the storage tank. Hezel is lightly wounded but will pull through. The guild contact is satisfied and the crew get a generous ten credit payday. They drink together and tell stories, but Roma has found religion and now will talk of nothing else.
Back in the desert, a mutant rat sniffs at the Bounty Man. He’s not dead!
The Bounty Hunter is a super-fun sculpt from
Imitation of Life. I couldn’t bear to see him dead, so he will return in the future.
Our rookie, Hezel, is from
Tagged Events. Her arms didn’t print properly so I added some from the bits box.
Fabulous fun Barks and some stunning new models on show too. Just love that Bounty Hunter.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael! The Bounty Hunter is a great sculpt.
DeleteI see it comes with a bunch of different customization options too. Although I admit that I'm sad as I increasingly see cool models that turn out to only be available to those with really good printers 😕
DeleteThe future is here and available!
DeleteThings are on the up for the crew. The bounty hunter does look a nice figure
ReplyDeleteThanks, Khusru. If I think it’s getting a bit easy I can tweak the difficulty.
DeleteOh, I missed your reports. Both new additions look fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a while between outings! I plan or more to come.
DeleteGreat models, great AAR, great painting. Like the bipod MG or whatever it is and the new figures are very colorful. You have put the cactus to good use very soon after painting. They do add a lot to the scenery.
ReplyDeleteI’m really happy with the cacti; they help with scene-setting and I’m thinking about printing some more alien plants, carnivorous plants, fungi etc.
DeleteThis is a fantastic post. Not only does it just look great (and nice fx!), it was an enjoyable read and the characters are interesting. Love to see more action from Hazel and the Bounty Hunter.
ReplyDelete"Still a better love story than Twilight" as they say 😄
Thanks, Allison! I think my decision to save the BH was right.
