The Capital has Fallen!

The campaign has come to a conclusion with the capital city falling after 6 hours to the Liberation Forces. In what turned out to a very back and forth 13,500 point battle, the Dark Mechanicus was able to control all three objectives when the dust settled.

The last remainders of the Dark Mechanicus army survey the ruins.

Capital City Battle

It has arrived, rules for the madness that is the end of campaign battle. This will be the assault on the capital city of the Red team by the evil forces of the Dark Mechanicus and its allies. 

The battle will be a 3v3 (or 4v4 if people show up) battle across three tables. The main table at 2500, Table A at 1500 and Table B at 1500. Adam will be the attacker on the main table using his campaign 2500 point list. The other spots are filled by players on the team using their 2500 or 1500 point lists with no experience and at Level A. 

The turns will be simultaneous across the three tables. The Attacker on the main table and the two Defenders on Table A and B will take their turns at the same time, then once all three players have finished, the other players take their turns at the same time.

Turn 4 has Begun

Turn 3 and the movement of Turn 4 is in the books. Thanks to everyone for showing up and rolling dice.

The website has been updated with the new maps, tables and record of the campaign. Please take a look and let me know if I messed anything up. I was working off memory and grainy cell phone photos.

The Dark Mechanicus has been marching steadily to the heart of the Red Team's capital city for a final attack. With three straight overwhelming victories, the army seems unstoppable. High toughness and powerful shooting has overcame any downside to slowly moving across the board.

However Craftworld Yogan has used this focus to quietly smash aside the Warband of Thoth twice and launch an assault on the gate to the Blue Team's gate. It is setup to be a race to the finish for the campaign.

Battle at the Gate

The first stage of the final battle has begun on the surface of Timbra Prime, with the Dark AdMech forces moving into the gateway tile for the System Defense Forces.  A decisive victory here will knock out the Void Shields defending the capitol city and would leave them open to a killing blow.  However, a successful defense might buy the defense forces enough time to launch a counter blow on the surface of Flint!  Win or lose, the fate of the system hangs in the balance!

This battle will be fought by the Dark AdMech and a nominated defending army.  The defender will be using their list at "A" level strength and without any of the experience bonuses that may have been earned over the duration of the campaign.  The attacker will keep experience bonuses, but must attack at whatever strength the army currently has retained.  Stratagems can be used by either force.

The following rules will dictate the course of battle:

Tash'Var Tau vs Salamanders

Smoke, and the sound of searing flesh awoke Tu-Buku from his moment of remembrance. 

"Ah, my friend, I was just thinking about the magic ring we found on that moon."

Ju-Kal, Tu-Buku's long time friend and aid, removed the red hot branding iron from Tu-Buku's chest.

"This branding of the ring suits you my lord.  It is said that....................."

Klaxons sounded, interrupting the moment of peace between long time friends.

"War calls Ju-Kal, prepare my armor."

Turn 3 has begun!

Welcome back everyone from the holidays. After that break, it is time to dive back into slaughter and dark machinations to start the new year.


Turn 2 retreats have been completed and Turn 3 movements have been finished. The website will be updated shortly with the new locations of the armies.

As a quick highlight, Blue team has launched an assault on the Gate of the Red team, which starts the ending battles.
