A multi-player, 40K “big battle” is scheduled at Shorehammer 2018 in Ocean City, Md. As the Tau of the Corvus Cluster has signed up as a participant in this event , we’ll be documenting the battle as our xeno “friends” experience it.
“Striking north from the port city of Aruna, Imperial forces have driven the Tau invaders from the nearby Omao Plantation—and are currently driving the xenos north through the Aruna River Valley.”—Imperial Voxcast, 3 738 738.M41. Imperial Voxcast: On the moon of Dar Sai, the 738th Cadian Regiment, supported […]
“Some suggest an agri-world is a paradise, an idyllic sanctuary where Imperial citizens are free from the polluted, brutal working conditions of the manufactorum . . . that life on an agri-world is a peaceful, pastoral existence. The plantations of Dar Sai prove that fanciful dream to be […]
Chaos warbands may be found anywhere in the Imperium, but their motives for operating in the Corvus Cluster are as of yet unclear. Imperial analysts have studied the raids and sightings but have found no discernible pattern. A notorious renegade, Skyrar, and his Dark Wolves were last seen […]
Moving forward with the next terrain challenge! A small pool of eldritch goo, industrial effluent, or ectoplasmic slime. Using some bits lying around, we decided to make a quick natural pool. Main bits are a cork trivet and wood chips. We’ll also add sand and flock. For the […]
“You complain of war? Fool! War is the forge that makes humanity great. It is the tool of the Emperor to bring the galaxy to its knees. Do not hate war. Glorify it. Embrace it. Revel in its horror and glory. There is only war!“—Lord Solar Macharius + […]
The Nova Open is a wonderful gaming convention held in suburban Washington, D.C. Recently, I was able to spend a day walking through the dealer hall and tournament area, and I took a few photos for inspiration in my terrain-building. I thought I’d share them. The above is […]
“A xeno attack on the port city of Aruna was defeated today. Military authorities say the Tau invaders suffered heavy casualties after attacking a portion of the Aruna trench system, which was built by serfs under the direction of the 728th Cadian Regiment. The xenos reportedly have fallen back 10 […]
“On a galactic scale, the battles were minuscule: A few dozen Astartes against several thousand xenos. Yet, the fighting was fierce. In a heroic defensive action that lasted weeks, the Knights of Altair conducted a fighting withdrawal that bled the Tau invaders dry. Still, by the end of […]
“As the fighting continued, the Knights of Altair realized that the tactics they’d honed against Hegira’s orks were not appropriate for the more technologically advanced Tau. It took time, but the Astartes realized that they didn’t need flamers. They were not fighting a mindless horde. They needed melta […]
I finally have finished a pair of tank traps to serve on the battlefields of the desert worlds of the Corvus Cluster. I first referenced my efforts on this terrain project in an earlier rant, “A story of frustration: Making desert terrain.” In that blog, I complained that […]
