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 […]

The night was bad. The company deployed in a rough circle in the forest, and, sure enough, the xeno attacks started as soon as visibility dropped. We had a normal allotment of night-vision auspices, so the attacks weren’t a total surprise. The troopers just had to shoot blindly […]
ALERT TO ALL IMPERIAL SHIPS: Task Force 7-A engaged the fleet of an unidentified xeno species in the Elara System. Ten of 16 Imperial ships were destroyed, with the surviving vessels forced to withdraw.—Broadcast by Imperial Navy headquarters, Belliose System. + + INCIDENT REPORT: CONTACT WITH XENO FLEET […]
Tau undermine the Imperial Creed on Media III His Holiness, Confessor Guidonis Bernard, is calling for a Holy Crusade against the traitors on Media III after rumors spread that the Tau are subtly discouraging the Imperial Creed and seeking to replace it with their philosophy of the “Greater […]
One failing in the ongoing defense of Hegira is the paucity of disruptive raids aimed at the ork leadership and the xenos’ logistic capacity. If more attention had been paid to this years ago, perhaps the greenskin threat would not now include an industrial base that can produce […]
