Warning klaxons blaired with deafening sound as the Iron Warrior strike cruiser translated into real space. A vicious warpstorm had forced the commander to enact an emergency translation from the warp. Warp travel was dangerous at the the best of times, translating into and out of real space required tremendous preparation and precise calculations. With the crashing warpstorm there had been no time, because of that the strike cruiser had suffered severe damage, the navigator choir was dead, the ships plasma drive bled a trail of plasma into the void of space. The ship was lucky to be alive, but she was hurt badly.

They had come into realspace in a small system compromising of five planets, scans indicated that all the planets were within tolerances for human habitation, likely the result of exploratory terraforming fleets millennia ago. Five planets ripe with resources, and much needed supplies.

Warpsmith Hao KeKane gave set a course and gave orders to make planetfall on the nearest planet.

Within hours of landing the Iron Warriors had already constructed a base of operations. Hundreds of slaves worked themselves to death beneath the whips of their Iron Warrior masters.

Squads of Chosen were sent out to gather intelligence about the planet, they returned with news of a necron dynasty in its early stages of re-activation.

Warpsmith Hao Kekane gave orders to seek out and destroy these necron cells as they awoke.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Warp Smith looked down at what remained of his right arm, it was severed cleanly just below the elbow. The necron lord he had faced in combat easily besting him and taking the severed limb and the Warpsmiths prized Plasma Pistol as a trophy. If the truth were to be told the Warpsmith mourned the loss of his plasma pistol more than the loss of the arm. The pistol was said to have been forged on the Iron Warrior home world of Olympus during the days of the great crusade.

Warp Adepts and techno savants had quickly replaced the lost hand with mechanical augmentation. The pistol could never be replaced. The Warpsmith was irritated with his defeat. He went to his armory and took out a deadly blade, called an Anatheme. Said to have the power to slay primarchs, the blade carried many titles and names throughout its existence, the Warpsmith simply called it "Murder sword."

Not long after the failed attack the necron legion started its implacable march advancing on Iron Warrior held lands. The Warpsmith looked over the streaming data his scouts and scanners continuously brought to the command vehicle. The Necrons advanced without fear of the Iron Warriors, to be attacked with such a straightforward attack showed such disrespect for the Iron Warriors! This of all things made the Warpsmith mad! The loss of the battle just another set back in a lifetime of war nothing new, the loss of his arm didn't really bother him after all flesh was weak, his favored plasma pistol? Just a trinket really, a reminder of his former master and it brought back fond memories of betrayal and murder.

This bold attack though... it had angered the Warpsmith! He would show these machines what it meant to face the fury of the fourth legion.

"Bring up the guns" he ordered.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The artillery pounded the machine men, but they implacably advanced. No mortal being could stand in the face of such abuse. Yet the necrons marched through it. The metal men reached the Iron Warrior gun lines and vicious close combat ensued.

The Iron Warriors won the day but lost precious artillery in the process. The Warpsmith fled the battlefield blooded and wounded by a necron lord.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the necrons over ran the artillery positions they did not stop and pushed further into Iron Warrior territory. The Warpsmith still wounded from their last engagement grabbed another weapon from the armory and led a mobile strike force to counter the enemy. Accompanied by a siege master, the Iron Warriors met the necrons head to head. Iron will versus iron flesh, the the necrons advanced disregarding the iron warrior fire power.

Iron Warrior sapper squads, chosen veterans of hundreds of battlefields brought close range death in the form of melta guns to the necrons. Protected by their rhino transports the sappers were able to hold out and stop the necron advance.

The warpsmith was the first casualty of the day his armor being ripped apart by necron gauss weaponry. This trend of failure did not go unnoticed by the other siege masters among the iron warrior warband.

Is there room for another player still?

What time on Sunday and how many army points did you guys decide on for tomorrow?

Yes center planet is still unclaimed, show time is 1100 on Sunday. 1500 point armies.

Jasninth surveyed the Exodite world. Its endless grasslands peppered with expanses of rick dark earth. Her brethren had chosen a bountiful system to live out their cycles; in atonement for their egregious lifestyles that had brought upon She who Thirsts. Grasping the reins on the reptile mount the Exodites had gifted her; she wheeled around, her entourage of Exodite riders following behind her.

The warm air whipped her shock white hair around her, her many spirit stones jangling as the quick but sure-footed reptiles sped them along the vista. They were searching...her visions in the Skein had shown that the Exodite system was in danger, and she was here in the case those visions came to past. As they approached the small scout force she had brought with her through the webway, she had a glimmer of hope that her visions had been at fault and that this world would indeed be safe.

Jasninth stopped fast of the grav tanks carrying the Aspect Warriors comprising her force, rocks and dirt splashing harmlessly off the wraithbone hull of the nearest as her mount skidded to a stop. They had been here for 30 cycles and her prophecies had not come to fruition. Mayhap the thread of Fate she had followed to this planet was wrong, and another possible future had taken shape.

As she reached through the skein of the Exodite world to convey orders to her troops to return to camp, the expanse of violet hued sky on the distant horizon turned blood red, as objects began to tear through the low cloud cover. Quickly expanding her psychic reach, she felt the brutal impact of several objects landing with force in the distance. Her mind touched upon the life threads of lesser beings...humans. Humans had landed.

She felt the impact in other locations around the planet, many of which were several cycles of travel away.

Quickly issuing orders to return, Jasninth spurred her mount into a gallop, its ferocious screech echoing her own anxiety and anger. Her visions had been real. If the humans had arrived then others would soon arrive in the system, and plunge it into chaos.

Is the next war council still going to be this saturday (the 21st), at jak's, at 11:00am? Also do we know how many points we will be playing that day?

yep Saturday at 1100, and no we don't know points yet. There was talk of raising it above 1500 though. My vote is for 4,007 points.

updated rules for campaign, check link. https://docs.google.com/document/d/111UxXPMXcUok-zZWRFq5y5Q6a4HvKIY7XXXkN3XGAgE/edit?usp=sharing

Changes to Alliances, and added fleet based armies.

if anyone has any ideas or suggestions for further rules changes let me know.

I need markers for your territories for the map. For ease of access and because my photo editing skills suck I will be hanging the map at Jaks. The campaign binder containing a hard copy of the rules and order history will also be on hand at Jaks.


I will post pictures of the map each campaign turn.

So when is the next war council going to be and how many points are we going to be playing?

Next War council is on Sunday 3/29, at 11am.

So what day this weekend are we going to do the war council on?
