The Great 40k Terrain Challenge #10: Desert Trench Lines

The Gaffer: It’s hard to believe, but this narrative campaign has been around for nearly seven years. After a very long hiatus, TheGaffer is back and at it. TheGM and I have played a four-week long Apocalypse battle to get reacquainted with the rules and try out a […]
