Monty Python - a day out with Zombicide Black Plague

A day of fun and frolics and all in the name of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. A little light background information for those that need some prompting. 'Run away' goes the cry. Myself and the Dark Templar paid a visit to Michael Awdry of 28mm Victorian Warfare fame.

I played 'lucky' Tim the Enchanter and Sir Galahad.

Tim the Enchanter and Sir Galahad

The models are Michael's pride and joy and it was his idea to substitute for the Black Plague models. What things of beauty they are. We partnered them with the appropriate cards from Zombicide Black Plague and we were good to go.

The rest of the crew

For those with a good eye you might want to check out Michael's post when they were shown to the world. Some lovely pictures of each model that really does his paint job justice. Arthur king of britons and One, Two ... Five.

Back to back

The models were a joy to play with and soon we were taking down zombies, runners and everything that the game could throw at us.

Sir Galahad standing tall

We blew the first game. Entirely too confident and full of mirth and risk takings we hit the reset button started again. This time we proceeded with a little more caution and began to 'tool up'. We laughed and joked and got stuck in.

A line of Abominations

We were playing multiple abominations and multiple necromancers and they just seemed to come all at once. Truly amazing.

We stuck to our task racking up the kills. Tim managed to get the Earthquake spell, which was new to me. The spell allows you to knock over all actors in a square such that they lose their next activation. Huge impact! I loved it. 

Sir Lancelot at work

Sir Lancelot was the hero though. He ventured out to take on the abominations which were worth 5 points each and so he soared towards Ultra Red.

By the end we were just having so much fun and when we did hit Ultra Red it was like someone had turned on a fire hose of zombies. We even thought we were going to run out of models at one stage. We didn't and finally we completed the mission.

A fabulous day out. A huge thank you to Michael. 

The Dark Templar has got a load more survivors that arrived in the post and I can't wait to try them out. But that is for next time....
