Cultist Gang Wars on the Streets of the Underworld






Decided to take a break from painting and give a go at the Grimdark Future: Firefight rules.
Havoc Brothers vs. Soul Snatchers 150pts 

The gangs:


Havoc Brothers: 145pts
1. Jack Preacher
2. The Smash Brothers
3. Burna Boys, Pistols
4. The Clonies
5. Dakka Boys
Soul Snatchers: 150pts
6. Thing One
7. Thing Two
8. Boom Boys Squad 1
9. Boom Boys Squad 2


 The Table:
Mission: Seize Ground
  Soul Snatchers win the initiative with a roll of 2 over 1 but they all posses the scout ability so the havoc brothers deploy and the soul snatcher set up their ambush.



Round 1:
 Boom boys 2 move up and fire at the clonies but the bullets whiz by them. The clonies advance and fire at Thing one, who is behind partial cover, and the only thing they manage to hit is the building. Thing one rushes at the clonies aiming to rip their flesh from their bones, Thing one manages to land one attack and its rending dealing one automatic wound to the group. One clonie remains, he throws a swing at the monster as it rips apart his brethren but the punch doesn't seem to phase it.



  The smash brothers rush over to exact smashing revenge on thing one. After a flurry of strikes they manage to land 2 brutal hits on the monster knocking it out cold. They take a step back to admire their smashing skills. Jack Preacher takes aim at Thing One and finishes it off from atop the concrete tower. 
 Meanwhile a block over, Boom Boys 1 take aim at the Burna boys, the grenade blast is fatal and wipes out two of the brothers. Thing 2 advances forward behind some walls. The dakka boys move closer to one of the objectives and fire dakka upon the advancing soul snatcher but have terrible aim. The remaining Burna boy flees behind some cover to finish round 1.
 Round 2:

 
 Boom boys squad 2 moves and fire upon the cultist but only manage to take out one of them. The Smash Brothers charge forward and flail their weapons into the Boom boys, killing one of the minions. Thing Two rushes down the street to charge the last member of the clonies, stunning him with the attack. Jack Preacher moves across the catwalk positioning himself directly above thing two and aims his shotgun but misses his mark.
 Boom boys 1 take aim at the Dakka boys taking out two of them. The lone Dakka boy fires back but only manages to hit the bridge. The last Burna boy moves forward and douses the bridge with flames. The bridge is consumed by flames and two of the Boom boys burn to a crisp. End of round 2.
Round 3:
 Both side have taken heavy casualties so they all have to take morale checks. For this game there is no retreat so units that fail tests become stunned and units that were already stunned and fail die. Both Boom boy squads fail their morale checks so they are stunned and the lone soul snatcher passes. The remaining clonie bleeds out on the street. The smash brothers also pass out from exhaustion. Jack preacher passes out but manages to narrowly avoid falling from the catwalk. Dakka and Burna boys both pass their moral checks. Onward to the bloodbath.
 Thing two rushes onto the smash brothers and finishes them off easily. Burna boy runs up to the bridge stairway. Boom boys 2 recover. Jack recovers, while the remaining member of Boom boys 1 recovers. Just as he does Dakka boy fires his machine gun but misses horribly and so ends a rather uneventful round.
Round 4:
Boom boys squad 2 start the round off strong, firing their weapons at Jack Preacher. The grenade explodes in his face stunning him where he stands. Burna boy runs up the stairs and releases a surge of hellfire onto Burna boy 1, the intense heat knocks him out. The remaining cultist stand their ground but at the end of a grueling battle the territory remains unclaimed by either side. Their turf war will continue with no end in sight...
Well thats it for now. Hope to get some more games in soon. This match was pretty fun and the teams seemed well matched. Looking forward to playing some battle brothers and orc maruaders battles pretty soon and I hope the campaign rules come out soonish it'll really take this game to the next level.
