I don't just find old minis or games as I tidy through my accumulated 'stuff'. I recently found more photos taken when we played the multiplayer Bloodbath at Orc's Drift campaign may years ago. You can find a bit more about that here.
These photos were taken at the first session, where we played the first three scenarios on three separate tables.
Kachas Pass
The aim here is for the elves to hold off the orcs long enough to escape, helped, hopefully, by reinforcements from the woods. The lovely stockade was provided by Bodvoc.
The Orcs advance on the Kachas Pass outpost
Nearly at the gate
The Rock Giant Guthrum Mane leads the assault, in the compound the defenders have to deal with an escaped half orc spy
Ashak Rise
Meanwhile, the dwarven outpost of Ashak Rise is gripped with gold fever. No heroics here, when the orcs appear the dwarves just want to load up their gold and go. The building is the 'Rough Inn' from the Tragedy of McDeath pack, I still have it, it's overdue a bit of restoration and a better paint job.
Orcs on the horizon, and Hobhounds at the river bank
The dwarves and their mules flee down the road
Linden Way
The garrison at Linden Way must hold out long enough for the villagers to escape. I still have two of the buildings.
Guards in the watchtower nervously look out on the advancing orcs
The action moves into the village
Orcs attacking the villagers
Sadly I can't remember what the outcome of any of the games was. If I had to guess, I'd suggest that the elves at Kachas Pass successfully held out, it's difficult to shift elven archers from a defended position. The dwarves at Ashak Rise look to be escorting their gold off, but it doesn't look good for the villagers of Linden Way in the last picture.
If you want to see some pictures of the final battle at Orc's Drift, you can find them here and here.
I hope you found this nostalgia trip interesting, it certainly brought back memories for me.
