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 […]
I called this battle the “Bugout from Argon Meadow.” The regimental history didn’t even bother to record the fight at all. Too small; too insignificant. But that just rubs me wrong. The life of an Imperial Guardsmen may not account for much in the big scheme, but I […]
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 […]
Battle raged around him. (Knights of Altair flee the Barad Mines.) With a hearty laugh, Rumlar burst from his battlewagon, leading his boyz through the ruins to strike at the Knights. As he leaped over the wall to the floor of the ancient hall, Rumlar roared, urging his […]
TheGM: Most blogs about terrain-building are how-to articles . . . or visual celebrations of a hobbyist finishing a terrain project. Not this time. My story is about frustration—and no small number of setbacks. Much of the fault lies with myself. I am overly ambitious at times, and […]
“Military authorities on Dar Sai have confirmed that xeno forces, after fighting two battles south of the Hanui Valley, have advanced 800 kilometers and now threaten the port city of Aruna. Two more battalions of Imperial Guard have been rushed to the city in an effort to slow […]
For several days after the defeat, PDF forces fled south, the Tau following closely behind. Although some units managed to maintain cohesion and fight a series of delaying actions, other units were highly disorganized and unable to account for fully half their roster of troops.
