Narrative Battle Report 1 of the League

Last night was the first battle of the 40k league and unfortunately its lead me to the awful idea of doing narrative battle reports for my games in the league. So if you've run out of James Swallow books and need to fulfill your insatiable appetite for badly written fiction (is it fiction if its based on a something that really happened, albeit in game form???) read on...

There's something scary out there......

....coming to a battlefield near you!

Generals and their armies.

Looking at The Big Red Death Machine in hindsight...


I sat down today and started trying to write a Blood Angels tactica, got halfway down the page before I realized I was stating the absolutely obvious. So I’ve changed the point of this article. This isn’t going to be so much a how-to guide anymore as it is going to be a little record of what I’ve learned playing Blood Angels that wasn’t immediately obvious to me when I started out. A sort of presumptions debunking, if you will. So let’s start.
Sanguinary Priests
When I started out I used to try and get a ton of priests into my lists. They just seemed that good and that essential. What I realized is is that they are that good but not that essential. If you write in as many as one

Advancing the 40K timeline

Was bored at work so decided to advance the 40K timeline for lolz. Do keep in mind that it is extremely roughly done and will have tons of faults in it. Enjoy!

202M42 – The light of the astronomican grows so weak out on the eastern fringes of the Imperium that the realm of Ultramar becomes essentially cut off from the rest of the Imperium.
213M42 – The technology within the Golden Throne finally suffers catastrophic failure and gives out. While kept absolutely secret by the High Lords of Terra, the Emperor dies. The guiding power of the Emperor now gone results in the Astronomican losing focus and the Imperium is plunged into turmoil.
213M42 – Warp travel is still possible but only very short distances can be attempted and even then the accuracy and safety of the journey is greatly reduced. More ships are lost and systems become isolated as humanity is reluctant to venture into the warp.

Grey Knights came out and I jizzed in my pants


So soon it seems we shall be seeing hordes of supposedly rare silver-clad space marines clanking across gaming tables in all our respective gaming stores. The juicy morsels in the codex, courtesy of Mat Ward, will no doubt bring a great number of gaming crypt ghouls (band wagoners) out of the woodwork, hungry for a snack on the latest unsuspecting army.

Blood Angel Tank Markings - the quick way






This is pretty strait forward. you will need the tamiya type of masking tape as they are thinner and filmy compared to traditional grainy masking tape. This took me around 45 mins inclusive of drying time and turned out a lot better than I thought. This masking tape is so good I didn't have to go over the edges.

Results of the Aeyrgaard Campaign

[Authorization Confirmed]
[Psy-conduit Gamma 32 Primaris opened]
[Accessing File L89/05769VII – Aeyrgaard System]
[Incoming data…]
[Data Received]

This is initial report of the war on Aeyrgaard. As transcribed by
Prefectus Primus Loth.

Reacting swiftly to the crisis in the Aeyrgaard System the astartes of the Blood Angels chapter under the command of Chapter Master Dante arrived with a force comprising elements of 5 companies. Also in support was a contingent of Space Wolves led by Ragnar Blackmane and a strike force of Imperial Fist first company veterans.
Within hours of translating in system the astartes fleet had crushed the traitor ships defending Aeyrgaard and achieved total orbital dominance. Thunderhawks began making a series of surgical bombing runs to knock out the handful of ground defenses protecting the key landing zones and within the hour all aerial resistance had been annihilated.
