Campaign update

Image
Here is further work being done on the campaign map. The mountian ranges are light spackle. I wanted to also make a hive city like the one that exists here . you can see the map with the details I have so far below. on the right youll notice the hive city unpainted the narrow squarish objects will be bastions.  Below is the details of the hive city. You'll notice the laser battery on the hive tile. To make it I chopped up bits of sprue for buttressing the base of the central tower is a chopped up landraider redeemer flamer with toothpicks and some tubing stuck in the top. the laser was made from a landspeeder bead and a space marine bike banner. the mountains in the forground are spackle. while not as impressive as the GW one it wasn't too hard to make but it lacks some or the visual buisiness that exists on the GW version. this might be helped by adding more bits but I'm not sure how much time I want to spend on it though.

After the battle for mellaj was posted i decided I wanted to do a campaign with orks. Orks are trick in the current game environment (or meta) since they haven't been updated yet and lag behind some of the other armies. here's what i decided they would get for this campaign. Ork changes All orks take 6+ FNP Weird boy can take biomancy, pyromancy or ork powers, warp head makes mastery level 2, and zoggywort is a ML 2 psyker with zogworts curse being a power requiring 2 warp charge points. KFF is a 5++ and for all models in  within 6” range and has no effect in assault. 30 pts Flashgitz dropped to 20pts base. Snikrot allows commandos to deepstrike without scatter. This is the backstory, for aporkalypse at umbral. In the apocryphal days before the emperor’s great crusade the system of Umbral was a quiet, feudal society, dealing with occasional squabbles over goats and land but slow in its progress of technological advancement. Two noble houses eventually rose

***Servoskull message to Azreal from Sammael.*** *** Lord Azreal, we have discovered new information regarding the invasion of the planet Mylos. It seems that the Tyranids have used some form of mind control on the leader of the ork resistence on the planet, led by the warboss, Hedgowja. With the new threat of tyranid invasion, the already present ork resistence has become an even greater problem. We attempted to intervene on the planet but at the time the time of the combined opposition offensive we could not contact the fleet so we needed to get aid from another chapter, the Emperor's Rage, led by their Brother-Chaplain Ragef*ck. What follows is my reporting of the battle that took place. *** The game was played between myself and a guy who i had not met, who had an a DIY chapter but was using ultramarine tactics. The warlord for his army had a bit of an unconventional name, but i liked it all the same. the game was 3000pts no battle brothers allowed. objective game. t
