Apocalypse at Umbral Void: Battle of Blood Mesa (Part 1)

-


The conclusion of campaign comes down this game. If one of the two teams can achieve more points than the Ork and Necron alliance then they can achieve planetary domination. 6000 points a side. Apoc rules and scoring. Finest hours allowed. Turn 1 45 minutes max. Turns 2-5 30 minutes max.


On the outskirts of Hive Phobos... in the wasteland of the outside of the Orin River... the Eldar and their brothers of destruction rode forth to meet the Imperial space marines one final time...






We tried to deploy at the outset but got caught up for not having everything on the table in time and the librarius and some extra deathmarine squads couldnt get on the table. Azreal was named the warmaster. Across from us was just a wall of black and blue death: 6 wave serpents, revenant titan, a knight titan, 2 wratithknights, raiders, grotesques, beasts, Haemoculi, wiches, and of course Dr. Fansworth and the Autarch Kexiao with his mantle on a bike. The autarch was named the Warmaster.  The eldar were 300 points short so we said they should take an extra asset. All was prepared and then they stole initiative!


E1 -The eldar brothers layed waste to the bikes, they were dying left and right. Since they all had scouted forward they had not much cover and very little backup from the marines holding the rear objectives. NOt sure what the revenant shot, but it was pretty nasty too.











M1 - The bottom of turn one. the tricksy eldar revealed a shield gen strategem which protected the revenant. Azreal and his crew of captains dropped in as did a death marine dreadnaught who fired into the rear of the knight titan, but that was the direction it had angled its void shield. With its front unprotected the death marines devastators unleashed a volley of las canon fire into the knight, blowing it sky high and vaporizing some wiches in the explosion. Azreal ordered an all out attack which resulted in destroying a wave serpent. At break 1 score was 3-3 with each team holding their own objectives.

Brothers of the Inner Circle, Due to the recent rapid pace of developments on the ground the Chapter Serfs have not yet had a full chance to catalouge all reports by the librarius on the Campaign. I will now brief you all while we travel the warp. We currently travel to the Forge World of Cypra Mundi which has been attacked by forces of Chaos. The the northwestern Hemisphere of the Forge World of Cypra Mundi. Top Right is the Hive of Cypra Primus where Rasputin Forge is maintained, bottom center is the Hive of Cypra Secundus.* We believe that it is their intention to attempt to use the Mechanicus engines of Rasputin Forge on the planet to reinforce Abbadon's Forces and to cut off reinforcement of the Imperial Fleet in this sector. If chaos are sucessful in this attack they will strike a hammer blow against this sector as Cypra Mundi is the central reinforcement point of the imperial Fleet in this sector and is a staging point for every major defense of Cadia and the surr

Running a new campaign! Quest for Goliath

-
Here is the back story to a new campaign I am running, using narrative and matrix elements for 4-6 people at the game store. Looking forward to seeing how all this plays out. In the time since the indomintus crusades, the cicatrix maladictum, the rift dividing the imperium santum from the imperium nihlus, has posed a grievous threat to humanity. Astropathic travel has been blocked and the blessed emperors light has been snuffed by the ruinous powers for those in lee of the Warpscar. However even across the most dangerous stretches of space rogue traders continue their intrepid journeys and word of their successes has reached the ear of bureaucratic machine of terra. Whispers of a newly stable warp rift are rumored near the planetary system of Goliath. A rogue trader of some considerable clout, Janus Draik had claimed that he traversed the temporary rift conduit and was been called by the lord commander of the imperium for an audience. Under the instruction of Roboute Guilliman an
