Meanwhile the efforts of kaldor draigo will be directed at the removal of the 1st legion. First game on the new table with fully painted urban terrain. Pretty stoked.

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...

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...

In orbit around the planet Ix we rejoin our hero's fresh off their victory at Orlansk, where they were able to capture the site, but the Sorceror Ekynius vanished while plaguemarine Captain Bolivox, has been tracked by the Ravenwing, and was last seen heading for the mountains... 

***Servoskull message to Azreal from Sammael.*** *** Lord Azreal, we have discovered new information regarding the invasion of the planet Mylos. It seems that the Tyranids have used some form of mind control on the leader of the ork resistence on the planet, led by the warboss, Hedgowja. With the new threat of tyranid invasion, the already present ork resistence has become an even greater problem. We attempted to intervene on the planet but at the time the time of the combined opposition offensive we could not contact the fleet so we needed to get aid from another chapter, the Emperor's Rage, led by their Brother-Chaplain Ragef*ck. What follows is my reporting of the battle that took place. *** The game was played between myself and a guy who i had not met, who had an a DIY chapter but was using ultramarine tactics. The warlord for his army had a bit of an unconventional name, but i liked it all the same. the game was 3000pts no battle brothers allowed. objective game. t...

This was my first experiment with Escalation or 40k with super heavies. A word on escalation/ stronghold assault rules in case you dont know by now there are several unique rules that change the game. but the most important of these are Void shields, and str D weapons. Void shields act as a 12" av 12 bubble which can be taken for every fortification and an option of 3 for a void shield generator. the generator itself is an av 13 building. One shield  bubble disappears with a pen or a glance, and a disabled shield can be regen'd on a 5+. It also may absorb a single str D shot. Str D weapon can be found on some models and doesn't allow saves of any kind including invul saves. it has special interactions with super heavy models depending on the result of the vehicle damage table roll meaning that it may take away as many as D6 + 6 HP with a single shot with rolling a 6.

With the imperial order to stop the Waagh! rampaging through the Umbral system, the imperial guard have been instructed to prepare for an assault on the city of Mellaj. In advance of the imperial guard attack, the Dark angels have sent an advance strike force to soften the Bad Moon orks that have overrun the city. Clever strategy by Commisar Toledo and Dark Agels 4th Company Master Indomiel has led to the orks bands being distracted by rapid ravenwing strikes to the north and west of the city causing disorder in the ork ranks, with ork cheifs being drawn off to exact revernge. The true goal these raids is to give cover for the Guard to reclaim the foundaries of  Mellaj  . The city itself still contains close 1million ork boyz. In a  precient view brought on by warp trace Ezekiel has come to Umbral to aid the 4th Co. With only a handful of troops at his command, Ezekiel patrols the western edge of the ruined city. In a sudden turn of events Ravenwing scouts have sent an...

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.

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...

***Internal document for the Grand Master  Librarian*** ***Classified: Inner Circle only*** In the early days before the tyranid invasion... On the dead hive planet of Ithacus... ....After learning of sudden extinction of the former hive and its rumored wealth of ancient archeotech the dark angels space marine chapter, sent a strike cruiser into the planets orbit hoping to beat the ultramarines to the site and investigate the planet's hidden treasures.The dark angels were investigating an abandoned mechanicus excavation site when suuddenly they encountered a strange race who's rumored existence had reached the ears of the inner circle. So as you may have guessed this battle was pretty rough. We it played just as 6th ed came out but still using the old DA codex. Im pretty sure it was my first time using a landraider, which was proxying for a LR crusader. The nids won this one pretty handily and i was very impressed with the s...
