That's not how you rob a train...

It was club day and we decided that another game of Dead by Lead was required. This time we thought we'd try out robbing a train! Blogger Scotty's Amish Gangsters (yep....) defended the train while Blogger Tank's Apache AND my three-man Western Tribute Band both tried to rob the train!

In the style of the train robbery in Legends of the Old West we gave ourselves horses to make running down the train a little easier. Tank's Apache warriors doubled up on their horses and the two gangs went after the train from both sides!

Both gangs arrived at the train but the Apache made the first move, leaping into the passenger car while the Tribute Band tried to knock out the Amish mercenary, Alice, in the train cab, but she was well protected in the iron cab.

The Tribute Band rode up alongside the train and Tuco fired off all his six gun at Alice, doing a great job of shooting her in the legs! Meanwhile, two Apache warriors had boarded the train. The first wore a shotgun but the second landed on board only to have the Man with No Name take a perfect shot and knock him dead.

Tuco went down immediately to the second barrel of the shotgun and as more Apache boarded the train, the Amish gang leader Ma Baker waded into the fray wielding her cane with fury seeing off a couple of Apache soldiers. The Man with No Name's hat and poncho were riddled with bullet holes from the Amish gangster on the coal car (he was VERY lucky!) but his luck wasn't much chop shooting back.

In the end, Alice was still alive in the engine, Angel Eyes was on the roof of the caboose as the train left the board and the passenger carriage was absolutely awash with blood with dead gangsters and Apache and the couple still standing tripping over the corpses of their comrades. In the end neither the Tribute Band or the Apache managed to loot the train but the Amish didn't defend it so well either. 

It was another hilarious game of Dead by Lead which we all enjoyed. And thanks to Tank, we rocked out the epic train. It was awesome.

Next Time

I've been doing a bit of work to finish up a Combat Patrol of Grey Knights (thanks to Blogger Scotty) so I can finally give 10e 40K a go...
