Mutant Chronicles WARZONE Battle Report: The lost Farm

Today I played my second game with the old Warzone first edition.
The scenario was again simple: two forces that fight until one surrender or it is defeated.

Overview of the board:

Here the lists we played (I was the brotherhood player):
 
 
BROTHERHOOD (9 models), 500pt

"ArchBishop Arles" (Keeper of Art) w/punisher, and Nemesis w/grenade launcher (AP), command helmet, staff of casting,
force shield. Art Aspects: kinetics, elemental, exorcism (110pt)

Pilgrim Executioner w/power shields, command helmet, combat medic unit, power stabilizer, Art aspect: Mentalism  (83pt)

"Crimson Furies" (Fury Elite Guard) Squad (179pt)
2 Furies w/Deliver and Nemesis w/grenade launcher (AP), Great Coordination, Long Legs, Pain Resistant (114pt)
x1 Sergeant w/Deliver and Nemesis w/grenade launcher (AP), close combat training, Great Coordination,
Long Legs, Pain Resistant (65pt)

Pilgrims Squad (128pt)
4 Pilgrims w/Volcano and Nemesis


CYBERTRONIC (6 models) 501pt

Vince Diamond (150pt)

Cuirassiers Squad (351pt):
4 Cuirassiers w/AR3000 and CSA 404 (260pt), Chasseur Hero w/LMG (71pt)


The two forces move with caution for two turns, using often waiting and hidden actions.


Both the forces open fire and he pilgrim executioner has the change to fly and then charge. One of the fury is defeated, but two attilas are destroyed and another is damaged.


A fury charge Vince diamond an the damaged attila, the attila is destroyed while vince receive two wounds. The cybertronic player decide to surrender and then the Brotherhood player is the winner.
Internal computer of Vince Diamond: DANGER, DANGER! Analysis: 75% probability of being defeated by enemy forces. A strategic retreat is recommended. 
Vince Diamond:  "Cybertronic forces: retreat!"

Mutant Chronicles WARZONE: Corporate Heretics/Acolytes and Heretic Legionnaire

I was not completely satisfied about the alternative acolytes I painted. (void militia). They are nice models but smaller than I like, then they don't blend well with the other bigger WZ miniatures. Then I decided to paint some capitol miniatures as acolytes or maybe corporate heretics. I painted an undead legionnaire as heretic legionnaire too.

Here a groupshot of the updated semai force:


DARK LEGION: SEMAI (13 models), 500pt

Rikada, Nepharite of Semai w/Vassht e Jakht, dark aura, shroud, mind belt, possess (113pt)

Metropolitan Prophet (85pt)

3 Acolytes cw/CAR-24 and M13 (54pt), x1 Accolyte w/Gehenna Puker (53pt),
x1 Initiate w/CAR-24 e M13 (20pt)

Mutant Chronicles WARZONE Battle Report: Fatal Encounter

Today I played my first game with the old Warzone first edition.
The scenario was simple: two forces that fight until one surrender or it is defeated.

Overview of the board:
 
 
Here the lists we played (I was the brotherhood player):


BROTHERHOOD (8 models), 500pt

"ArchBishop Arles" (Cardinal Dominic) (175pt)

"Crimson Furies" (Fury Elite Guard) Squad (185pt)
2 Furies w/Deliver and Punisher, Fearless, Very Strong, Pain Resistant (112pt)
x1 Sergeant w/Deliver and Avalanche, Command Helmet, Crack shot, Fearless,
Very Strong, Pain Resistant (73pt)

Pilgrims Squad (140pt)
4 Pilgrims w/Converter and Nemesis, w/grenade launcher (AP)
 
 
CYBERTRONIC (6 models) 500pt

Enhanced Chasseur w/Plasma Carbine and P1000,
unbliking eye, seek and destroy program, tactical program (100pt)

Cuirassiers Squad w/scanner (400pt):
3 Cuirassiers w/AR3000 and CSA 404 (195pt), Cuirassier with HMG (93),
Chasseur Hero w/Rocket Launcher (89pt)


The two forces move for two turns with caution. The Cybertronic player is eager to keep his distance, fearing the hand to hand combat. The Brotherhood player use the Art spell of "Elemental Wall" as a cover from enemy fire for his advancing forces.

Finally the Cybertronic player see an opportunity and open fire with his attila squad, defeating 3 pilgrims.


The Brotherhood player active the lone pilgrim and Teleport it near the Cybertronic Ehnanced Chasseur, hoping to defeat it with his armor piercing grenades. But the pilgrim fails.


The Cybertronic player continue to avoid confrontation. The Brotherhood player chases him.

After a brutal firing, the Fury squad and an Attila are defeated. Another attila is damaged.

The last pilgrims is defeated. Now the ArchBishop is alone.

For some turns the Brotherhood player try to use his Art spells to dominate the attila specialist, then he could use it to open fire to the cybertronic team, but the attila resists. Then after receiving two wounds and cured two the brotherhood played decide to retreat, leaving the victory to the Cyertronic.

ArchBishop Arles: "The forces of darkness have temporarily prevailed, but the Light will triumph!"

Mutant Chronicles WARZONE: ArchBishop Arles

Here a really old project. If I remember well I thought about it at least 20 years ago (or even more).
Actually my idea was simple, to convert the head of the first edition cardinal dominic as the helm with mask of the main villain from the Knights of the Zodiac (Saint Seiya) cartoon: Pope Ares. I'm not good with green matter, then I have commissioned the conversion and then painted the miniature.
Here the "ArchBishop Arles" an high ranking member of the Brotherhood Curia.

I was ispired for the paint scheme by the original character of Pope Ares:
