Standoff at The Out-Of-Bounds
The Slipgibbets accepted the challenge from the Stash Riders - it was hard to ignore the corpse left nailed to a ruined building in the False Hope marketplace, with a note written on a bit of scrap metal hung round it's neck on wire! They rolled into the abandoned shanty town known as the Out-Of-Bounds and started hunting for the upstarts.
Kastorax, Leech, Flood, Grub and Penance looked around the dusty ruins.
Beetle, Naga and Hound advanced towards them, passed a shanking but inactive Rustman. Scribble, with his Long Las, took up position on the roof of a tower. Crystal ranged around on their far left flank.
The Slipgibbets ran forward to take cover.
Scribble directed the movement of the Stash Riders by shouting warnings from above.
Crystal and Scribble opened fire at Kastorax.
Kastorax ducked and Leech blazed away at Crystal in return with his heavy stubber!
Flood was hit by Scribble's long-las...
But he shrugged it off as a minor flesh wound!
Then jumped up and blasted one of the Stash Riders' with a solid round from his shotgun!
Leech was pinned by fire from Crystal and Naga!
And the Stash Riders pushed forward.
Beetle boldly advanced into the open ground, and weathered the (inaccurate) fire of three Slipgibbets!
Kastorax circled round to try and get the jump on Beetle as Penance and Grub both charged the Stash Riders' leader.
Leech jumped out and blasted Scribble!
Scribble went down!
Crystal exacted his revenge and wounded Leech with his hot-shot lasgun.
Beetle knocked down Penance and Grub! Kastorax zapped him with his shock stave.
But Beetle was heavily armoured and ignored the blue-white energy that arced over his carapace, and smashed all-comers with his Chain Axe!
The Slipgibbets bottled-it and slunk away to lick their wounds. Kastorax, Leech and Grub will all have to miss the next fight to recover!

Meanwhile in False Hope... The Ashtown Wasters and The Disciples of the Black faced off.
Nice write-up! Bummer about how it went for your dudes, tho.
ReplyDeleteThe lighting being from off to one side like that gave it a really cool late-afternoon sort of look.
It was such a close game! The balance swung back and forth so many times. It was just bad luck that my guys legged it first as both gangs were broken by the end!
DeleteThis was played in Viktor's living room so the light is very different to his games room. It worked for us this time though!
