Match-Ups for this weekend

The Hive vs The Lost for control of the Wyrd.

The Damned take on the Zealous for the Tower.

1500 pts per side, game type is a secret. To be announced the day of the tourney.

One losing faction will have an opportunity to battle the Alliance at their earliest availability. Game type for that match will also be secret in order to maintain fairness.

House Taranis Enters The Fray!

While on vacation I got the sudden urge to finish my Knight, he was already basecoated and just waiting on the actual detail portion... Here is the result of my sudden urge.

New Dreadnought.

For those of us that do not receive the Forgeworld Newsletter.... a preview of the new pattern of Dreadnought currently being sculpted.

Definitely based on a Contemptor Sarcophagus... But holy weapons platform!!! and Maybe 14 Front AV?

Behold!

The baddassness of my Xmas gift from James!

Merry Christmas!

Remember to honour He Who Sits the Golden Throne.

Dear Power Gamers

The point limit for the infantry unit to be summoned by holding the Tower zone is 200 pts.

Hi All,
Please email or message me and let me know which zone your faction would like to battle for next.

Thanks,

Game Size

Hi All,

For round two plan on 1500 pts again. I want to keep these initial phases similar in scope. Game type should be decided this weekend, just doing some reading before I decide.

Contemptor load outs.

So with the changes to the moritat i find myself not taking two destroyer squads. This frees me up some points. I was thinking on load outs for contemptors. I can afford two in the list. But not sure if I should run them as big guns or as a gun and a close combat weapon or twin las cannon. Just interested in seeing what other people run for theirs and any advice for using them.

Final results

The Alliance conquered the Hive. The Tau and Necrons are now holding Deff Valley.

Heresy Updates and FAQs

So how does the new faqs mess with your guys current army lists.....my moritat got real shitty all of a sudden. However Kaedes Nex has both precise shots and precise strikes which isnt too bad. My Mor Deythane are now scoring units/objective secured models.

Next Game Day

Hello All,
The next proposed game date is Saturday 1/3/15. Please let me know if this works?

Also to re-cap; The Lost hold LZ426 and the Damned hold Capitol Blvd. The Hive will take on The Alliance for control of Deff Valley this weekend.

Start thinking of your next proposed zone to attack and possible kill team targets!

Thanks,
Chris

Week One

“Sir?”

There was no response. Commissar Prash looked sternly through his long range viewer, not acknowledging his subordinate.

The prompt came again, “Sir?”

Prash turned slowly to see Lt Colonel Braithwaite. He held a dataslate in his gloved hand. As Prash lowered his viewfinder, he noticed that Braithwaite was bleeding from under his helmet. “Lieutenant, are you injured?” Braithwaite looked somewhat faint, he was sweating and had clearly lost a significant amount of blood. “Just a fleshwound Sir. My men and I are just back from Area 317, the area the Death Korps refer to as ‘Deff Valley’.” Prash took the slate from his hand, “what am I looking at, exactly?”

“Battle reports from the last few days Sir. Fighting has intensified in a couple of key strategic locales and it seems there are new factions involved.” Prash studied the screen intently. “Lieutenant, why are Astartes battling Astartes at LZ426?” Braithwaite had begun to fade, he was leaning against the hull of a Leman Russ with his head bowed. At the word of the Commissar he snapped back to attention. “Sir! Yes, uhh we believe that the Dark Angels and Red Scorpions may have more information but at the moment they’re not responding to our communiques. They took quite a pounding. We show no corresponding marks on file for the Astartes they did battle with at LZ426. The Inquisition is getting involved Sir; specifically the Ordo Chronos. In the meantime, these unknown Marines have taken possession of the teleport beacon and the landing zone.”

The Commissar flipped through several pages on the slate and turned to face Braithwaite. “I see. What can you tell me about these traitorous bastards from the 113^th? According to this; they may actually be supporting our efforts.” A thin line of blood streamed from the Lieutenants nose and ran down onto his uniform “plip, plip” in little drops it spattered on the silver Aquila on his chest. 

Braithwaite returned; “Well sir, intelligence indicates that the traitorous guardsmen from the 113^th were able to route a combined Xenos threat within the city. They made a hell of a mess of Capitol Boulevard, Commissar. Our former brethren are fortifying their position as we speak. Decrypted Vox transmissions indicate they may have been a vanguard force sir.” “A vanguard?” Prash replied. “Yes sir, we believe Chaos forces from the warband known as the Crimson Slaughter are arriving in orbit over the city now. Our Naval forces are engaging them in ship to ship combat…” Braithwaite began to slump as he trailed off. Prash set the dataslate down and returned to his viewer “That explains why these Tau are advancing on Deff Valley I suppose. Seems they think by entrenching themselves on the edge of the city, perhaps they can shell the Chaos forces from the safety of those Aegis lines.”

A cloud of dust blew in from the western edge of the zone and Prash adjusted the filters on his viewer to compensate. Within the cloud he could discern shapes. Those shapes were Tyranid bioforms. His mouth got dry and he felt a hot flush at the back of his neck. He snapped the lens of his viewer closed and turned to Braithwaite. “Lieutenant, broadcast emergency Vox on all channels. The Tyranids have made landfall at Area 317. Begin our withdrawal, prepare area for Exterminatus.” 

Braithwaite lay still and unbreathing, splayed over an ammunition crate. Prash could see clearly now the crack in his helmet and the knife lodged in the back of his skull.
