Time for an update. Battle continued this week with the remnants of the Eldar loyal to the fallen captain eager to avenge their loss at the hands of the forces of the imperium. Seeing their opportunity, they pounced on a Grey Knight force who were on patrol and wiping them out with only 2 battle brothers and a dreadnought left to tell the tale. The Eldar under the command of a talented Farseer anticipated every move and destroyed the mighty knights. With this victory, the forces of disorder are back in the lead. Below is this tally of both forces in phase 2.
Forces of Disorder - 5 points
Forces of the Imperium - 3 Points
Also be aware that next week, the manager at our local shop will be conducting Halloween festivities and so will be using all of the tables. She asked that I let you all know as this might not interest you and there will probably not be any tables available for us to play on. You are welcome to play games at another store, during the week, or we can postpone games this week until the following week. Let me know what you guys think of this
As always, I will be posting the rules for the campaign with every post for convenience.
Phase II - War in Earnest
There is no turning back now as the Fallen space marine commander pulls all of his forces to engage the forces of the Imperium. Sin and Heresy, betrayal and treachery most foul are revealed as the forces of the Imperium fight back against this powerful enemy.
Games of Warhammer 40K of 2000pts a side are scored as follows -
Victory for the Imperial forces - 3 campaign points
Victory for the Forces of Disorder - 2 Campaign points
Any Draws and Ties - 1 Campaign point for the Forces of Disorder only
1500pt games of Boarding Action - Victories for any side - 2 Campaign Points
Other Types of Games - 1 Campaign Point for any victories
Special Mission for the phase - Betrayal at Sounds Fall - 4 Campaign Points
This game is played using the Boarding Action Rules - After 2 years of battle a Parley between an Imperial Commander and the Fallen Captain on a ruined Space Station ends in Murder and Betrayal. Amid the fire and confusion of a void battle happening on the outside, Imperial Forces with revenge on their minds attempt to retrieve the body of their fallen Lord. The Forces of Disorder have other plans however, to make an example of any force that opposes them. The Imperial side has 1000 points of forces available to them using the usual restrictions of an attacking force in a Boarding assault game. They also get the services of a mighty Librarian with his honor guard for free (see me for the rules). The Forces of Disorder get 800 points of forces following the rules of the defender in a Boarding action mission.
Objective - The objective of this battle is simple, the recovery of the fallen imperial commander's body. This objective is mobile but may only be moved by imperial models. Any imperial model in base to base with the objective may move it with them as long as they move no more then 6 inches that turn (no running,, jump moves, etc.); they can also not assault while carrying it. They will defend themselves however if they are assaulted with their normal attacks. If the model carrying the objective is killed, the objective is simply left where it falls. In order to win, the Imperial forces must end the game in possession of the objective or if an imperial model "leaves" the table with the objective via their deployment zone. If this happens during the game, the game automatically ends with an imperial victory. On any other result, the forces of disorder win (they have the objective or nobody has the objective)
Setup - This game is played on a 4'by 4' table cut into 4 quarters with a 12 inch circle in the center of the table where the objective is placed; no models maybe placed within the 12 inch circle and at least 6 inches away from it. The Forces of Disorder pick any table quarter and deploys first following the boarding action rules for defender, the Imperial player then picks any table quarter they like and deploys there. First turn is always given to the Forces of Disorder however the Imperial forces may seize the initiative on a roll of 6. Game length is 6 turns with no roll needed after turn 5 or when the Imperial forces move the objective off of the table.
Game Special Rules - Death before Dishonor - Any Imperial unit with in 6 inches of the objective is fearless.
Night Fighting - Night Fighting is in affect through out the entire game
The Catastrophic Damage table is in affect the entire game, however rolls for this are done at the beginning of every player turn and not game turn!!!
Below is the Unit upgrade table for your reference
1. At the end of each game, each player will nominate a unit in their army based on the following - the winner will chose 2 units, losers 1 unit, and in the case of any ties, both players will nominate 1 unit. Each nominated unit will be able to chose from the following tables, roll a D6 and that unit will have that USR from that point on. If the unit or vehicle is lost, the unit will lose the ability. In addition, once a unit has received an ability from one of the tables, all its future rolls must be on the same table. This reflects the specialization that comes with experience.
