Legion Of Caliban

Much has transpired since the armies of the 41st Millenia set foot on Sipho... Week 1 was a desperate batte for supremacy and the Eldar made the forces Led by Demon Prince Gorvinctus pay for their false idolatry. Meanwhile the forces of nurgle spread their plague through the frozen polar ice cap. Week 2 saw the forces of nurgle routed, while the Bloodthirster Ashel-tartus runs rampant through the salamander lines. ...

Hey guys, I was writing to a friend of mine on Dakka Dakka about doing some comic battle reports (swatakowey on the forum). He had just completed a batrep and I wanted to show him my very first one so he could get a sence of how the skill of making them evolves over time. I was able to track down my first ever battle report, which also was the first game I ever played that I can remember. Eventually, I'll grab it and transfer it to this site but for now its a little trip down memory lane. Dark Angels vs Tau on Arcturus IV.

In the early dawn, Sammael and Librarian Hephestion, over look the canyon edge in view of the bridge into the Tunguska glacier. Both are eager to continue their pusuit of the mercurial villian Bolivox, who, with every passing hour, gets closer to the polar fortress of Gastongen held by the forces of Chaos...

"Bolivox I trust this task to you but be warned my gift is that of life, should i choose to withdraw yours it would be all too easy.

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.

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...

 " 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...

Game 1 vs. Grey Knights with Blood Angel Allies Note: Skip italics to avoid fluff. I fear i missed a few pics, but here's the first game in completion.

As recorded by Bellerophon, Junior Librarian of the Dark Angels, in conversation with Inquisitor Arraway "So tell me why belial and his group were sent to this planet in the first place, Arraway? From everything i've gathered so far there was no reason to go there." "Bellerophon, the inquisitorium doesn't typically respond to inquiries such as the one you've made, but I can be civil. The Dark Angel forces had been sent to investigate what was believed to be a rare psychic phenomenon in the Lascent system. The Inquisitorium outpost on Lascent II was reporting a large pyschic flux occurring in the system and had tracked it to Lascent III. When it was discovered to be the site of a chaos shrine Belial was brought into the fold, as was the Ravenwing of your forces, since they are rumored to but interested in pursuits of..." "What the Ravenwing investigate always serves the emperor and that should be good enough for you Arraway! Please skip to the ...

Communique to the 389th Regent of Terran interstellar anomalies Regent Liberius: The ongoing warpstorm of Galleus system, has recently subsided long enough for us to reestablish contact with the the planet Axos, an agri-world, reclaimed in m32.679. Warp winds have ravaged the planet and while there is no evidence of demon taint, warp tessera was found near at the following coodinates 67*34'21"N,127* 77' 45"W. Preliminary investigation by the local Axos research council has  digitally indexed it and claim it to be greater than 70millenia old. This dating places it firmly in the frame of eldar, necron, or possibly  "Old One" tech. The head of the research of Axos call it, "the Malacant Device." Not much else is known about this, however its power signature spiked on the readout and produced a halyon level of 64 million units. This fact alone is enough to peak my interest. The IPD (inter-planetary defense) forces are minimal and the planetary go...
