Here is the next battle report with pictures from my group's "Mordheim Quest" campaign. This is a campaign in which the players each control a few heroes who together make up the adventuring party and the game master sets up the linked scenarios and runs the enemies and NPCs.
Earlier battle reports in the campaign can be found at the links below:

Battle Report 3: Come into my Parlor
After successfully capturing one of the marauding orcs during the attack on the local farm, the adventurers were able to gain information about the general location of the orcs’ base camp. Acting upon this information they split the party into two groups and set out to search for the best route that will allow them to approach the orc camp unseen.
The first group departed to scout out a path which led them through Grunwald Forest. The party consisted of the following:
Grungi Headsplitter - Dwarf Slayer
Erasmus Voltoc - Warrior Priest
Elrond - Elf Shadow Walker
Rupert von Hasselhoff - Middenheim Champion
Hagar the Merciless - Norse Berserker
"Unlucky" Eddie - Norse Marauder

The adventurers carefully advance on the trail through the forest…

…when a rain of incoming arrows alerts them to a goblin ambush.

As the party rushes toward their attacker, the goblin turns and flees, only to get trapped in a large web that has been stung across the trail. Elrond and Hagar pursue him and attack him while he’s helplessly caught in the web.

While busy dispatching the goblin, they fail to notice the giant spider that lowers itself down right behind them and attacks!

Meanwhile, Unlucky Eddie tries to cut through the underbrush and is swarmed by a number of smaller spiders.

Elrond is brought down by the creature, but Grungi charges in to join Hagar in battling the giant arachnid while Rupert is also swarmed by the smaller creatures.

Finally the large beast is brought down, but another emerges from the nearby trees and starts to advance toward the party.

The beast begins to stalk Rupert, silently moving ever closer to its prey.

Before it can reach its victim, the rest of the group intercepts the creature.

The group can’t defeat the beast and they are brought down one-by-one.

The victims are all paralyzed by the spider’s venom and wrapped in webs for a future meal. Hopefully the other half of the party will find them in time to launch a rescue.
