A Campaign Log! A CLOG!

So! A couple internet friends and I are doing a Warhammer 40k campaign, using some slightly modified Crusade of Fire rules, and a big list of missions from, well, all of the books. I've invited them to post their battle reports here, as well.

For now, here are some maps and rules and stuff!
There are three players, so we have shrunk down the Crusade of Fire planet system thing. Phase one of the campaign takes place on Delta Novus 2, Phase 2 on Yemaya, and Phase 3 on Necho.

The terrain is just a suggestion, but those blue things are objectives that provide an in-game bonus and a campaign-wide bonus to their controller. For example, the factory-looking thing is a Manufactorum, and its owner gets a free "Conquest Point" each turn, as well as an additional Elite, Fast Attack, or Heavy choice in any battles there.

Our teams are Tau, Grey Knights, and Necrons (Me). At the beginning of turn we marked our territory and decided who to invade.

The Tau placed first, and snatched up the local objectives. Grey Knights were second, and got the fourth, and Necrons were left in last. Of course, I went after the Tau's Command Bastion, the Grey Knights after the Tau Manufactorum, and the Tau attempted an off-planet invasion of the Grey Knight Power Station.

Our table for missions is pretty big, and which one you roll on depends on whether the attacker or defender has advantage (decided randomly), if it is a Planetstrike, or if it is to remove your last flag on a planet (Last Stand).

In the Necron/Tau battle, advantage went to the Necrons, and the Mission is a "Patrol Sweep"
In the Grey Knight/Tau battle, advantage went to the Grey Knights, and the Mission is "Rebuffed Raiders"
In the Tau/Grey Knight battle, it is a Planetstrike from the Tau, and the Mission is "Planetfall"

Stay tuned for more exciting battle results!

January Theme

Well oi finds out what that glow wuz - sum crazy spell-slinga who wuz tryin’ ta blast me wit sum kinda green fi-yah!

Oi slashes at ‘im wit my sord, but he’s dukkin an’ divin’, flingin’ dat green stuff at me! Oi get burnt a bit but oi gets a lucky stab wit da sord and da git goes down! ‘is glow stops but oi see ‘e’s got sum sorta jewil or summat. Oi pick dat up and sum’ow oi get dese voisis in me ‘ead! Oi chat to ‘em a bit but oi tells ‘em to shuddup an’ tell me wut ta do wit dis gem.

Evenchalli oi figger it out an’ da green fiyah is commin’ outs me fingahs when oi like! Now oi can light me cigar whenevah oi like! 


This month’s theme: Object-Source Lighting! Otherwise known as ‘OSL’, object-source lighting replicates the light cast onto surrounding areas from a light source such as a torch, a screen, a power cell, etc. Think of glowing eyes, a plasma gun, flickering torch, candle, fireball, the inner fire of a demon (Balrog!), and other such things. This is a fun effect to do, watching the glow build up as you work on it. For a tutorial, check out this post or this video!
