The Journey of Inquisitor Greyfax...

Just had a fantastic WE in Metz and I've managed to not only meet a few friends but also get a few games under the belt ! 

I'm going to review those in a series of posts (about 3 I reckon) so here's the first : The Journey of Inquisitor Greyfax...

The city of Prastok has been agitated lately. The Governor, Duke Nicephore De Graff, has not sent any reply to the imperial authorities for some time and neither has the Astra Militarum been able to provide any satisfying response...

Lord Greyfax, whose ancestor Katarynia Greyfax has made quite a remarkable reappearance lately, has been summoned to investigate the activities in Prastok on her way back from Eurydice 27 and the purge it just witnessed...

Coming from the southern border of Prastok, Greyfax picked a few of here trusted servants to investigate.

As always, faith, caution and distrust would be their best defense...

Unfortunately, the local defense forces didn't greet the way they should have welcomed imperial agents...

Meanwhile, some strange silhouettes emerged from the shadows, wearing colours very close to those sported by the workers in the imperial factories...

Greyfax sent a couple of her acolytes to meet those newcomers and went to meet the Astra militarum forces herself and drive some obedience in them...

The silhouettes that seemed strange at first were actually suspicious forms. Suspicion and Greyfax have been close relatives for a while now. This couldn't go well...

The coven must have felt it and began to attack.

Angus, the ogroid acolyte tried to get the hybrids from their position with a rad grenade... let' just say the fault was either due to a grave miscalculation or the strong facing wind...

For this once, the forces of the inquisition had to back down, the city was far more infested than intel suggested. Greyfax would be back... with a vengeance.

With the uprise of the hybrids in the city, the sewer dwellers of Prastok felt compelled to reach the surface to take part in the events...

The problem being all those freshly deceased had started to rise back...

The scavengers felt the time was right to affirm their position and probably get their hands on treasures while all other forces were busy fighting...

The Ratskins got the attention of the zombies, the people of the surface had always looked like blind  soulless slaves to them but never had they thought it would be an actual truth.

The inquisition force pinned the scavvies coming towards them and left them in a delicate position with the undead closing in...

The undead made little difference in whoever they faced, their hunger for fresh grey matter was an equal opportunity of death for all.

The menace of the hybrid magus and his terrifying psychic powers decided the ratskins to move and attack.

The Scavvy king withstood the heavy fire of the hybrids and prepared to engage...

Tangesa, the one armed scavvie squeezed the grip of his blade and prepared to ambush the imperial agents... who were waiting for him.

At the end of the day, Inquisitor Greyfax had the satisfaction of getting rid of the scavvies (all mutants of some sort), taking a heavy toll on the Hybrids (although most of the damage were not directly her doing and keeping the ratskins at bay.

Prastok could be saved but the cleansing of such filth would require extreme measures.

So these were the first 2 games of Shadow wars we played on saturday, it enabled us to warm up and get the teams in hand. I have to say I fully enjoyed the inquisition group despite the differences in efficiency between members. I really hope I can play a full campaign that enables me to get special agents and some more exotic options.

Next report will be about the Shadow Legion...
