Scenario - Pendulum

Pendulum is a scenario designed to provoke fighting around the middle line, but it also aims to give players a chance to set up interesting maneuvers instead of just storming in to claim a last-minute objective.

This game lasts for four full turns.

Setup
Pendulum has no special setup.  However, at the start of the game, note which models you have on the table.  Markers and G: Synch/Servant remotes do not count.


Scoring
All players start with 5 VP.  Players gain or lose VP at two distinct times: at the end of the second full game turn, and at the end of the fourth full game turn.

As noted above, models that were not on the table at the start of the game do not count for VP at any point during the game.  AD and Camo models may help you strike at your enemy, but they do not help you score VP.

Scoring at the end of the second full turn:
1) If you have no models outside both deployment zones, lose 1 VP.
2) If you have 2+ models outside both deployment zones, gain 1 VP.

Scoring at the end of the fourth full turn:
1) If you have no models within 6" (either side) of the middle line, lose 1 VP.
2) If you have 2+ models within 6" (either side) of the middle line, gain 1 VP.

If both players are tied at the end of the fourth round, play two more rounds.  If both players are tied at the end of those rounds, play two more, and so on.

Happy New Year - and Updates!

Happy new year, everyone! I've just gotten back from my short vacation, and now I'm starting to work on a gentle revamp of various units for Pendant World. Inspired by the conversation I had with playtesters last time, I'm looking to streamline some units and provide a lot more in the way of reactive options. Stay tuned!

Battle Report - Boudicca, Scourge of Rome VS Manfred Rochdale

Source:  https://grazdgfx.tumblr.com/post/171535938767 Yesterday, one of my playtesters and I met up to play the Black Telephone scenario (core 23). He has been waiting for the Once Forgotten to hit the table, as he's a huge fan of undead factions in other games. I decided to take up the Fair Ones this time, figuring that they would be more than curious to see what messages came through the phones from the other side - whatever the other side is. This time, we tested out adjusted point totals and played a 150 point game. By the end of it, we agreed that 200 point games might be a bit more interesting (more models, more options), but this game was a fun scrap over a few ringing phones.

The Devotee of Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror

The Devotee of Tezcatlipoca is another Ravenous Beyond cult model, but unlike the Disciple of Malphas, she is more than able to sneak around on her own and cause damage behind enemy lines. This article will go through what the Devotee is capable of doing now, along with a quick look at a previous version, and how she might benefit your faction in a game of Pendant World .
