Fifty Thousand Cronkites to the Winner

Warhammer 50K

mega-battle pix

Conflict Summary:

Orks Repulsed at the Walls.

Chaos demoralized,

and Warhound finally pulverized.

Necron Forces were the last ones standing, and forced to fade out,

after being ambushed by Catachans in forest terrain.

Forces of Disorder only got 875 points worth of troops into the city,

not enough to cause rebellion or take down the city shields.

Imperial/Order Victory

Grim Darkness of 50 Thousand Points

Box Battle ?

not quite...

while the Imperial tools kept themselves busy worrying about the void shields on the Warhound, the orks advance to easy assault range...

I don't know whether to ally with that or challenge it to a death-duel.

Avoid the Belis Corona Sector this month. Warp Storms are your ally. With Mars ascendant, that means you should take it easy on the summonings for next week. Change is imminent, yet unavoidable, and smile when it comes your way.

KHORNE

Don't hire any new mercenaries this week. Strong currents make the Cadian Gate seem welcoming, but don't go. There are no free rides, and this month prophets will be down.

NURGLE

If you take no risks, you get no landings. Race the Battlefleet now and take the last week of the month on easy street. Your enemies in the Solarian sector are taking a rest, and that's serious as cancer. Bakka and Ryza will well up as an obvious refuge, but stay canny.

SLAANESH

Surefire misery awaits those who stay bound up with hesitation all this week. Interesting commanders should make interesting plans. And next month, Tau and Vespids and those big sweaty Kroot can all play along, but only if they say pretty please. Don't let the Necromunda thing go to your head, loverboy.

Vogen Campaign

CITY FIGHT with LOOTING

Everyone has to run a Vogen City-Fight Campaign eventually. We did one, but added a twist. The city would be subject to Exterminatus at the end of the campaign, so the object was to loot the sectors, as well as kill enemies, and see if what you had looted had any particular value. (viz: if you were a Dark Eldar player, and your loot was an Eldarin Relic, you scored extra points)

Scoreboard

Wendie's Chaos of Slaanseh were the winners !
Much less macho posturing around the shop after that I can assure you.

TRAITOR SPACE MARINES drop onto IMPERIAL COLONY

Massive Space Battle, preceding the landings. One of the few times it was in the advantage of the Lords of R. to actually conquer a planet rather than nuke it into oblivion. - - -

PARTICIPANTS in the BATTLE:
LORDS of RADIATION- - - Chaos Space Marine Battle Barge, assaulting dreadclaws onto Portia Sextima
ANGELS VERMILLION- - - Pursuing the Khornate fleet.
IM.NAVY BATTLEFORCE MAGNON - - - Defenders of the sector around Portia.S.
BLOOD GOD's FINEST- - - Squadron of the Disciples of Oskar Baldred, high priest of Khorne.
FLAYANN's CORSAIRS- - - Elvish raiders who would rather not have Portia S. fall into chaos contol.
SCYTHE FLEET 9079- - - Necron "allies" who rather not having chaos digging around in the ruins on the world.

The goal was for Chaos to score Assault points on the planet. Of course the Khorne admiral got into killing, and didnt maintain orbit. Everything of the Lords but the barge had to disengage. Chaos troops got control of the D-Cannon on the planet and turned it onto the defenders for a while.

The Inconvenient Truth

Of course, back in '84 when I invented "space fleet combat" and showed it to jervis johnson, no one was keeping track back then. So of course the british kids got the press coverage instead of me.
