Reign in Jotunheim (Hell)

 When I visited my mate Mark, in South London last month, he introduced me to the Reign in Hell rules from Snarling Badger Studios. I was quite impressed with this little rule set (63 pages), so I picked up a copy for myself.  It's a neat, very simple set of rules. The actual battlefield rules are only 8 pages, the rest of the book is building your Cabal, campaign rules and scenarios.

Although I don't have a collection of GM chaos types, I was sure I could find a wealth of usable minis in my various armies. I don't really have any suitable Hell-type terrain, but I decided to set my games in my (slightly Norse influenced) Jotunheim setting. 

Ross was happy to give it a go and we have started a campaign with Ross playing the Lords of Hell and I played the Demented.

Our first game was the Desecration scenario, The Lords of Hell were offended at some relics and wanted to destroy them, so the Demented decided to defend the same relics, more to piss off the Lords of Hell as for any other reason!

It was a great game, a lot of fun and laughter was had by all. Although I slaughtered all but two of his demons, Ross won the game by destroying more relics that I saved. Keeping you eye on the prize is good!!!

Here are some pictures from the game.

The opposing warbands spread across the table. The blue crystals mark the relics.

The Lords of Hell, or most of them, two minis are out of shot.

The Demented leader and his Devout (lieutenant).

My Spiny Demon inflicts his impaling charge on Ross' Devout.

Opposing Slaughter Fiends clash!

My flying Mephit scans across the battlefield from his vantage point.

My Armoured Demon engages Ross' Corpulent Demon. 

And a few shots of the swirling final melee around the last relic.

Great campaign rules, the after game effects are well thought out and interesting. We are looking forward to the next game.
