Legion Of Caliban

Having decoded the first cogitator the Dark Angels battle barge, Sword of Caliban, has warped into the system of Purgatory in the gothic sector of the segementum obscurus. Immediately following bombardment of the target hive city of Yamada, the strike team is assembled and thunderhawks are launched.... references below* +++Dataslate recording over purgatory+++ +Archival subscript+ ++Belial's address to the assembled deathwing strike force++ My brothers, over the past three months we the deathwing have followed the trail of the heretic and traitor known as Terrigrax. He was known one time as our brother Pannus Lovitus, a company champion of the third company. Now he has joined in the cult of khorne worship and has aided those who have brought demons to this fetid planet. BROTHERS THIS CRIME WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED! Incapacitate him if possible, but we will not show this foe mercy. More sinister than this, it seems that Ravenwing scouts have reported a sighting of a two he...

When fighting necrons there are several things to keep in mind. the most important is to understand their rules. They have quite a few that can be troubling, Weapons systems - Necrons have two types of weapons for their infantry. Gauss and Tesla. Gauss is a strength 5 24" rapid fire weapon, but when shooting at vehicles on the roll of a six, the vehicle takes a glancing hit. This means that at short range vehicles can get really beat up. Tesla is strength 6 and on a roll to hit of six, the weapon gets an extra chance to hit. Making it extremely powerful versus infantry, but it too has very short range of 24". Necrons are undead space skeletons so naturally when you shoot them they can get back up. Enter the We'll be back rule. On a 5+ any model killed with this rule can be returned to the unit it was taken from. However often an overlord (an indepent Ch. for necrons) will be equipped with a "Resurrection orb", changing this to a 4+ and increasing the durabi...

Tactics of the Deathwing, part 2 Fresh off a recent touney in which I had some success with the Deathwing I will try to speak for a bit about what works in a Deathwing style list. Given the schizophrenic nature of my other tactica post I will try to be a bit more focused. Terminators especially the dark angel variety are expensive. They cost about 3x the cost of a tactical squad, they are only 2x as durable, and have about equal firepower. They can deep strike, but where they truly excel is assault. you need to be able to use those powerfists. terminators need to be used for assault. Therefore you need to use them aggressively. terminators assaulting gives you 2 advantages. 1 is that you avoid being shot, 2 is that your save of 2+ will be more likely to help since invariably there are far fewer weapons that have AP 2 in assault, especially when you can use your sergent's powersword to kite him in a challenge. In a Deathwing list this is further complicated by ...

 " Report Brother Polybius" "Master of the Watch, after our defeat in the feudal plains, Kaldor Draigo claimed the two cogitators.  It appears that Draigo suspects the cogitators may contain some kind of information but he is wary of moving them since he wants the glory of bringing ruin on our Chapter by himself, and believes us incapacitated after our defeat. He has moved the cogitators to what he believes is a secure facility here on Gordium. Unfortunately for him Lord Inquisitor Torequemada Coteaz has called him away to quell an incident elsewhere, while the inquisitor makes his way to this system to see to this matter personally." "Do we know what they suspect at this point?" "I am unsure sir, but it appears that Draigo has left the cogitators in the hands of the 5th Co. of Dragoon Marines led by Cpt Horatio Pericles. The cogitators have not left the planet and have been kept at a secure facilty under his command. It appears...

Imperial Communique ***                   *** **Inner Circle only** From Chief Librarian Ezekiel "Belial, your reassignment has been hasty, but duty calls you to serve your brothers in the continuing quest to track and capture the fallen brother Insidus. As you are well, aware this traitor had been an apothecary in the days of Luther and our beloved primarch but fell under the sway of chaos and strayed from the Emperor's guiding light. Intelligence gathered thus far suggested he may be attempting to use his knowledge, of the apothecarion arts, to extract and experiment on his own geneseed, as well as devising plans to sell dark angel secrets to a xeno battle force. Ravenwing and fleet forces had been following leads on fallen brother Insidus, until the trail had gone cold during the investigations at the Hesper Prison planet which had suffered a massive jailbreak. Intelligence reached the Imperial listening post 572-1b near the pl...
