Vogen Crusade Battle 6

 Crusade Mission - Incursion - The Relic

Captain Arastos has put in a requisition for additional forces to help combat the Ork menace on their own terms, namely an Assault Terminator squad armed with Lightning Claws. Unfortunately they were delayed in reporting for duty (mostly because I didn't finish painting them in time), so Strike Force Arastos went with what they had. What they did have was a lot of starting CP, due to getting their asses handed to them repeatedly by the Orks, giving the Orks a lot of XP. Should be a bloody one, as usual. 

Vogen Cusade Battle 5

 Crusade Mission - Incursion - Supply Cache

With Chaplain Gregorios having failed to assassinate Big Mek Nogbugg, the freshly healed Captain  Arastos gathers his full strike force to recover a large supply of munitions and supplies from yet another crash site of a downed imperial transport. The Orks, led by Warboss Bonekleava, have proven rather adept at bringing down targets with supplies to fuel their waaagh. Moving into the dense city sector on foot, the Imperial Fists are determined to stem the Orks here, and now.

Vogen Crusade Battle 4

 Crusade Mission - Combat Patrol - Assassinate

Chaplain Gregorius, fresh from his victory recovering the ammo crates from the orks, learns that the only other warband leader in this sector has been located, and is vulnerable to a quick strike by a small force. He leads  his forces deeper into the city center to try and cut the head off the snake. He knows that without strong leaders, the mass of boyz infesting the city are as likely to turn on each other as they are to unite and fight as a unified force.

Vogen Crusade Battle 3

 Crusade Mission - Combat Patrol - Supply Drop 

Terminator Chaplain Gregorios is determined to push back the marauding Ork warbands in this sector of the Vogen. With Captain Arastos and his half of the strike force still recovering from the wounds received at the hands of the orks from last mission, Chaplain Gregorios leads the remaining squads of the strike force in a salvage mission to recover some ammo pods that were scattered across the shattered cityscape when an Imperial Arvis lighter transport was blown from the sky by a barrage of Ork dakka. Opposing them is Warboss Bonekleava, who is pretty sure he will put those munitions to better use than the beakies. 

Vogen Crusade Battle 2

Crusade Mission - Combat Patrol - Supply Drop

Warboss Bonekleava is back in action, this time leading his boyz against a new foe, the Tau. Not a full battle report this time, but there were two great events that made me grab my camera, and I figured I might as well post them, and keep track of the Crusade happenings as well.

 Combat Patrol - Sweep and Clear - 25 PL

Overview

Many years ago, the planet of Vogen was beset by a genestealer infestation, which led to an uprising on the planet against the duly appointed Governor, which in turn led to the planet being turned into the focal point of warfare in the sector as Chaos warbands discovered there were ancient artifacts of power on the planet, which turned out to be Necrontyr in nature. This psychic calling from the artifacts caused a nearby Waaagh to alter course and crash into the planet at full force. Imperium reinforcements were dispatched as per procedure. This reflects the current state of affairs on Vogen, a planet and city which has been fought over for decades and which still draws warriors into its meatgrinder on a regular basis. This is the arena in which our heroes will strive to prove themselves, make their names and earn glory.
