The Eye of Terror Campaign Battle 1

Battle for the Relic

Deep in the Eye of Terror, as the tendrils of power, both Warp Spawned and of control and possession, swirl and mix, the Forces of Chaos, loyal to their Gods, continue to vie for control of powerful artifacts. On a shattered world, the armies of Khorne and Nurgle clash as they confront one another to possess an ancient artifact of immense power.

Damocles Gulf Crusade Battle 1

Firesweep

While the Tau Empire's Third Sphere of Expansion has proceeded fairly smoothly until now, the full attention of the Imperium, or at least the Eastern sectors, has been directed at the worlds lost as the Tau crossed over the Damocles Gulf. The time for retribution is at hand.

A Tau World Ship has made orbit above an Eldar world. It quickly launches an assault force to the planet below, and the Hunter Contingent makes a drive on the nearest city, hoping to gain a foothold on the ground, to begin landing additional forces in a safe area.

Test Game for Custom Mission

Test Game: Take the Walls [Custom Mission]

One of the things we want to do is play out an attacking force breaching a city, and fighting their way into it (hopefully). Since there isn't a mission which lays out how to do this, we are trying to figure out what point totals, special rules and/or other things need to be addressed.

In this mission, the attacker is trying to force a breach in the defender's city walls. Even though the Imperium is the attacker for the Damaocles Gulf Crusade, we figured it didn't matter who attacked and defended, since we are trying to figure out how to make the mission work, for all armies.

So the Marines defended for our test game, and things did not go so well for the attackers. Since both sides had 2000 points, trying to force a breach in a line of Marines who are dug in a defensive position and don't have to move was a difficult proposition, as you will see.

Points: 2000

Armies: Emperor's Shields Sternhammer Detachment / Tzeentch CAD

Following Ahriman's trouncing of the Librarian Conclave, an almost recovered Captain Lysander orders 3^rd Company, with Dreadnought and 1^st Company support, to take control of the battlefield, recover the bodies of the fallen Conclave and their bodyguard, and to capture Ahriman so that he can face justice for ten thousand years of treason.

The Long War Battle 4

Ahriman's Vengeance

Scenario Source: Battle Missions Book

Mission: Scorched Earth (Chaos Space Marines)

Points: 2000

Armies: Emperor's Shields / Tzeentch

The Librarius Conclave and their Assassin allies were victorious in the previous battle. While this might be a good thing most of the time, it seems to have raised the ire and attention of Ahriman himself, who has seen fit to put those Loyalist Psykers in their place. With a strong force of Thousand Sons, attendant Sorcerors and his own protege, Ahriman leads his forces onto the field.

The Long War Battle 3

Emperor's Shields Counter Attack

Scenario Source: Battle Missions Book

Mission: Counter Attack (Space Marines)

Points: 2000

Armies: Emperor's Shields / Slaanesh

The Slaanesh army was victorious in the previous battle, so they cannot change their list. The Marines, having processed the after action reports, which detailed a Demon Princess ( or 3), have dispatched a Librarius Conclave to investigate, and if the reports are true, to send the foul creature back to the Immaterium.
