Continued from 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...

Under the shield generator in the Castellum Stronghold, Azreal calls a meeting of the inner circle... 

We join our hero's on Umbral Void, were Belial and Capt. Ranuk are deep in conversation on their strategy regarding the war effort... Having concluded his buisness with the Captain of the Deathmarines, Belial invites his strike team to the ready room and briefs his sergents and their teams on the mission...

The marine/tau army featured Tau fire support with tanks and four Riptides in the back. The guard brought four Leman Russ tanks in the back. The marine contingent was several three man squads of grav armed bikers, melta armed Land Speeders and I think five? Drop podding dual-melta contempt or dreads. Also appearing was a land raider packed with 20 marines led by the dreaded primarch of the Emperors Children. Additionally, their team fielded an immobilized bane blade as a campaign bonus. The Necron/Ork/Mechanicum force was much more eclectic. Each general brought a Superheavy to the table just for the heck of it, so Ghazhkull's personal bane blade (containing of course a mob of Meganobz and the Big Boss Himself) and a Necron Transcendant C'tan. Beyond that it was a mess of transports, tanks, infantry and bikers.

There can only be war... but victory is within your grasp. We just played the apoc game this weekend. I'll have a pic and text report up soon.

The final week of the campaign. Will any team emerge victorious and separate themselves from the field of challengers? The war for Umbral Void rages on unabated... Missle Attacks: Commander Nail considered his options, then smiled darkly. Yes that target would be perfect, minimum risk to the alliance maximum devastation to his enemies. "Make your target 60deg N 15'.22" and 45 deg W 37'.11", right over the Dark angel spaceport..." "Coordinates entered sir." "COOMMENCE PRIMARY IGNITION," belowed the commander a manic glee in his eye. The reported blast left him dazed but he watched onscreen as the gyrometeric display project the rockets course. Right on target. "The report came in from the aerial surveillence sir... target destroyed." The commander leered with glee... Attacks: With the war on the planets surface drawing to a close the teams knew they would require  victories to seeout their dominance over Umbral ...

The Fourth Week of the campaign has been Lost to the warp storms but the evidence sugggest a mighty brawl between the orks and necrons look place with the orks emerging vicotrious. In the fifth Week of the Campaign there were several interesting developments. Missle Attacks - Munitions stockpile of the 325th ICG, had gone unused for weeks and the directive from the leadership: clear the path of terringrad bridge. The Imperial Mercy and its firing team punched the coordinates but the missle first landed amongst their own troops south of the Bridge causing them to lose the Bastion in their control. The second missle agained missed the massive bridge sailing far to the northwest amonst the ruins of the Terringrad Hive and the Necrons fortified there. But the third missle found its mark, death marine forces were instantly vaporized but the reinforced adamantine bridge remained intact stubbornly persisting. The Vortex Missle platform Imperial Mercy and its evaporated targets. ...
