Legion Of Caliban

The mighty spacemarine Captain Korgan Balestrong was the leader of the Second founding Chapter the Void Rangers, sucessors to son's of Huron. When his primarch rebelled he followed the path set before him leading his brothers to many distinguiushed victories. But he secretely had always held reservations regarding the killing of innocents, for he was a principled man. Yet inpsite of his space marine brothers and initiation, he always held close ties to his clan from the Planet Illium of the Galactic south. It was during the crusade to reclaim Illium from the Angels of Absolution that he was forever changed. Laying siege to last three hives on the planet the Void Rangers had nearly completed their conquest when the angels of absolution negotiated a hostage release as tactic to buy more time for reinforcements to arrive. Marching entire clans out of the Hive, the clan of Korgan was, marched from the Hive gate to the defensive lines of the Void Rnagers. Suddenly thunderhawks a...

The Campaign for the Virtruvian Gate Battle is rejoined! The hero's and villians of the galaxy have descended on Sipho, 5th planet of the Andrasta system. The mighty Salamanders Chapter, the son's of Vulkan. The eldar of Craftworld Yuula-Lith, and their Ancient Farseer Secra. The dread Cult of the 9th Gate, sworn to Khorne;  the billious spawn of grandfather Nurgle.  They have come to seek the secrets of the Virtruvian gate, a mysterious artifact, and masterpiece of the dark age of technology. Will it fall to the avatars of the Dark Gods, will the Eldar uncover its mysteries, or will the salamanders, bring this planet and its treasure back under the heel of the imperium?

Well I had some time availible today and it has helped get some of this stuff done in a major way. Here are some close to finalized pieces. Altar of the lost Gods maybe needs a bit more vegitation but nearly done.

Hey its been a while but as we approach the starting point of the campaign ive been working on the map and terrain for it. Here's what I've got so far. The fortress monastery, with orbital defense gun. Looks pretty cool. this is a view of the back. This is a view of the side. Just the defense laser itself the map of the planet sipho. Sci-fi generator thing All and all things are coming together.

Well my last campaign was a so so event, a major learning experience, and this time around I've made it so that I won't being directly participating. But with the new gaming club a little understocked I've decided to contribute in a major way. Terrain! So one thing we really need is a jungle terrain theme. So here's my efforts at that. All of these peices have a steel washer affixed to the underside. I am considering that this could then be affixed magnetically to the base using magnetic strips, which will help to keep them together. I also needed something like an evil shrine to be the site of some cultist worship. That is all carved from pink foam except for the skull which is a cardboard skull from a halloween sale a michaels hobby and craft store. I need to paint it up but it should have some nice jungle features added to it. Lastly I've been getting a kind of generatorum complex together using humus containers and hot glue and sequins...

Continued from Part 1

For those that follow this space, ive been working on my own home gaming space due to the fact that my old, much beloved gaming club is now pretty far away. So I have now aquired the sector imperialis and there shall be many city battles that take place. Here is the progress so far. The Fortress monastery - there have been some new developments on this huge  building but it remains unfinished so far. the battlements have been added and the external towers have been built to support the anti-air guns. The orbital laser shall be placed where the vengence batteries currently sit.

As the special rules for the Dark Angels have been leaked at this point we still don't know for sure what rules are linked with what models and we don't know point costs. There is alot that we can infer safely at this point however. There are alot of rules in the the book and i wont go through all of them but will go through some stuff that has caught my eye. Greenwing grim resolve lions blade formation supreme fire support - formation compliant units overwatch at full BS vehicle squadrons  - tanks taken in groups of 3 gain special rules Deathwing 1 Deathwing special rules - hatred ChSM Deathwing assault may come in on T2-4 Smite now counts as a smash attack Sx2 AP 1 only 1 attack at initiative.

++Redacted++ as recorded by librarian Bellerophon in the archives of the rock++Redacted++ The system of Calypsis lies within the segementum tempestus. It is a productive system that is home to three planets, the hive plaent of Calypsis Prime, Urt a mine and shrine world, and the often overlooked ice world of shadow run. The Calypsis sector was quitely going about the buisness of life in the imperium when an eldar craftworld, identifying itself as the Yula-Lih, hailed the planetary govenor of  Urt demanding that the planet be evacuated in the next 48 hours and ceeded to the eldar craftworld.

Been working on the terrain for the home table and made some progress on the aquision of a KDK army. The cohort of the ninth gate. Its gonna take a while to work through this. terminators, 20 cultists, chosen (counts as possessed, still thinking about some conversions) and 8 bloodletters. Was thinking of making this building a chapel. or impressive imperial admin building. i tried putting a little battlement on the outer roof but it needs more pizzaz. i did carve the imperial eagle head that is kind of acting as a gargoyle.

So i have some new terrain projects up and running. First up is the one i've made the most progress on the Hydrostation Powerdam, or the latin equivalent of that phrase. I have always been inspired by this project on warseer, and the acid dam from the 6th ed rule book.

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. ...
