Two more games played... My wife wanted the camera - so I'll stage a couple of shots to give you the idea of main events later.

Varangians vs. Eldar Hidden Artifacts Scenario Vengeance
Xeno Vessel has crashed in the swamps West of the Forgehive - It's a race to recover the artifacts.
Used the space hulk rooms to create the crashed ship.

Turn 1: Eldar found the artifact in the first room! (So we decided to create a second artifact - to prevent a very short game!) Varangians found this on the very next turn! (Returned to safety by Lads got talent officer) To ensure some enemy contact we continued to play until one force was routed.
Turn 2: Stealthy creeping through the corridors by both sides.
Turn 3: Stealthy creeping through the corridors by both sides.
Turn 4: First blood to the Eldar with a psychic attack from the warlock which put Sergeant Kilgore OOA (Full recovery). Covering fire from the autogun of my infantryman Tyrone 'Clean' Franks took the warlock OOA (Full Recovery)!
Turn 5: Eldar open a doorway to be faced by an Ogryn who preceded to smash his way through the weak xenos, supported by Captain Reismann who took out the Aspect Warrior with a stunning coup de grace (Bitter Enmity - Captain Reismann).
Eldar fire in the other corridor took down several guardsmen (knocked down and stunned), the medic got taken OOA by a rogue lasgun shot! (I honestly had him at the back - not sure how that happened!)
Turn 6: The Eldar shot ineffectually in the cramped confines of the ship, causing no further damage. The Ogryn acting as a fire magnet and shrugging off the lasgun shots 'It dun tikel a bit Boss'. A vicious firefight in the corridors ensued with Tyrone Franks shooting an exodite and taking him OOA. The Eldar failed their ensuing rout test and the Exarch ran away in the face of the hatred of Reismann and his Squad.

Nice work!

WOW! You guys have a HUGE campaign going! Way to go Laney!

Liked the report... but compared to your writing, I was a little .... HEHEHE! GREAT GAME!!! Hope your mates enjoy themselves. Tell 'em to stop by the forums and give us their input. We would love to hear about it!

Game 3 Storyline and a Few Pics...

Pict Recording Sent...

Author (Inquisitorial Cogitator Encryption RhoGamma35): Felix Nemeia
Received: South Varangian 10th Captain Reismann



Reismann, I have an opportunity for you to redeem yourself after the debacle with the Orks escape. I have sent a different Guard Squad led by the Chem Dogs to deal with the Orks, I hope they are more effective than you!

Anyway to business: We intercepted a xeno craft entering the system, which was identified as a gun runner in the employ of rogue trader Achilles Cesare. The craft broke through our cordon, but sustained severe damage. We tracked it to a crash site North West of your location, within the Soleus Swamps.

We require you to secure the craft, which is likely to contain fragments of archaeotech (given that this is Cesare's usual trade) and find out why they were here. Anything you find of use feel free to equip your squad with. One word of warning, intelligence suggests that the Eldar Corsairs you clashed with are heading towards the craft - prepare for combat.

Nemeia Out.

Reismann flicked off the pict message, which showed a static image of the Inquisitor.

'Damn him! Emperors servant or not, Nemeia will only cause me trouble. But at least I get a chance to avenge the injuries that pointy eared freak caused me that last time we met,' thought Reismann, rubbing his glowing bionic eye, while the servos of his bionic leg whirred causing the metal to tap the floor of the command bunker.

'Zaitsev, get in here!'

'Yes Captain?' Replied the whip thin lieutenant, sticking his head through the office door. His lungs wheezing as he spoke, still hurting from the las bolt that had scorched his ribcage.

'Eightball get your kit, we move out in one hour. It's time for us to give the pointy ears some payback,' said Reismann.

'Yes SIR!' shouted Zaitsev a broad smile on his face.

'Lets go to work...'

Reismann and Kurtz enter the crashed ship through the nearest entrance, sending one squad to the right and one to left.

The Ogryn Kurtz led the way in attack against the Eldar leadership, causing them to eventually rout.

In another section of the craft, recruits Shore and Franks were on point, stepping into a fierce firefight, with an eldar contingent. 'But your arms off!' 'No it isn't!' 'Yes it is - its on the floor just there!' (The problems with not pinning your Eldar). Franks shot down the Warlock with his autogun.

Franks then became the hero of the hour - shooting down a warrior aspirant and finally forcing the rout of the weakling Eldar.


Tyrone Miller made it out with a case of archaeotech (only useful technology - 1 frag grenade, the remainder handed over to the Inquisition forces).

Cheers Laney

I ran out of compliments. So screw 'English only' protocol.

Es que el terreno está SUPER FENOMENAL! Coño... de verdad que me quiero ir a darte una visita a Inglaterra. La foto del Inquisidor en la pantalla de video está buenísima! Tu originalidad es legendaria.

Es que eres un hijo de puta genio! Como Salvador Dali, mi hermano... un cabrón genio!

Nice pics and nice battle report.

Mord, I think just a good old "Well done! Thats slap your grandma crazy cool! HOLY CRAP my eyes are bledding from the greatness! Heres a pat on the back man!" would do

Anyway well done!

Wow... my comment in Spanish was WAY more violent!

Thanks

I think I got the jist of the Spanish - it's great to get such positive comments (I was gonna get one of our Spanish teachers to translate for me - but I think I might leave it now!) .

Just to say I'm loving this game! So much thanks to all the game developers - great job! The story element makes it a step up for me compared to regular 40k (I'm an awful 40k player anyway, because I don't really do ).

Ta Laney

Well I wrote it... better I translate it. I will PM you... and you can PM anyone else who wants it.

Take it to the Spanish teacher... it will change the way they see you... forever! Can't guarantee it would be in a good way. For us, geeks... you are ALL ACES!
