Tournament Battle 2

GT2021 Strike Force Mission 1-2 Scorched Earth

 In this second battle, the Goffs take on the Astra Militarum. As normal, this lists can be found on this page. 

Horde vs horde should be an interesting match. Let's find out.

Tournament Battle 1 - Imperial Fists vs Goffs

 GT 2021 Strike Force Mission 1-1 Retrieval Mission

Starting out the tournament we have the Goff Infantry horde running headlong into the almost all Terminator list of the Imperial Fists. The lists are available on this page. 

Cadian, Goffs, Imperial Fists and Tau Sept Competitive Tournament

 Having had a good go at the Crusade side of 9th edition, I find myself drawn back to the competitive side of things lately. With that in mind, and with the recent acquisition of my custom Astra Militarum army, as well as a new Ork Codex being released, I thought it would be an interesting experiment to come up with my take on how I like to run these armies and pit them against each other on the table top.

Detailed below are the four lists, in alphabetical order. 

Fair warning, some of these armies are not totally painted, just so you are prepared for it.

Vogen Crusade Update

 Crusade Rules

Playing Crusade games, especially starting at the 25 Power Level and working up from there, has been very enjoyable. It has also, unfortunately, exposed some rather glaring problems with the Crusade rules in general.

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.
