Week 6 Partial Game Results (Update) (Fluff)

Yesterday's game result:

++RYAN (SALAMANDERS) vs GELO (LOST AND THE DAMNED) for TOWER ONE
GELO won. Take and Hold - Alpha. 1000 pts.
Ryan will lose 8 grids as consequence.

Tower One will remain occupied by the Lost and the Damned.

*****

The Brother Chaplain looked with contempt at the hideous Chaos Spawns that were ambling towards the Salamander Tactical Squad he was leading. His squad started to fire their bolters point blank but the Spawns' thick hides saved them.

So intent was he to bring those abominations down that he was suprised to see a Hell Hound push their Rhino to the side and then spew flame towards them. But it was nothing for the Salamanders and the flames were but a candle to them.

Still, it did buy time for the pack of mutants to attack from the corner of a ruined building. While the tac squad was busy combating the Spawn that had charged, the Chaplain took on the mutants.

He parried the huge claws from the Mutant Boss but failed to notice the Aspiring Champion that was behind it. One swing was all that it took from its crackling power fist....

Special Grid 32: Oakwood PDF Barracks (Fluff)

"Emperor's mercy, we're safe!! We're safe!!!"

Anxiously tucked on one of the Militia Barracks outpost, the remaining PDF forces assigned to defend the military installation were warily awaiting their fate from the tide of onslaught wrecking Oakwood State. From afar, shadows were lurking on the perimeters of the premise, promising swift death from what seemed to be sniper rifles aimed at the heart of the barracks itself.

Pinned inside their makeshift haven, the PDF conscripts were holding their breath from the impending doom when giant men in deep jade power armours charged from the flanks and stalled the advance of the unseen enemy. The Adeptus Astartes! Now, fate has shifted on their favor as one by one the phantom rebels succumbed to the might of the Emperor's Angels of Death.

With renewed vigor and profound awe upon actually seeing the Space Marines in battle, one of the grizzled military veterans rallied his squad to arms. "Prepare for battle, soldiers! Aid has come from the Emperor and aid shall come unto Him! Let not the heretics walk His lands!!!"

The conscripts shouted the Oakwood Planetary Defense Force battlecry in unison as the first platoon charged out of the outpost towards the bloody skirmish ahead. Then the rest followed, their lasguns trained at the enemy forces. Halfway to the raging melee, the leading platoon abruptly halted their sprint, shoulders sagging from some indefinite reason.

The same veteran who rallied the squad out of the outpost sprinted from behind the lines. "What do you think you are doing, cowards?! Charge! Charge! Cha..." he paused as he got near the front line, squinting at the battlefield. "They're not rebels..." he added, his jaw almost dropped from the grim comprehension. The Space Marines contingent were viciously attacking men in jet black uniforms and Imperial-issue cameleoline veils... familiar battledress from the anals of the Imperial Guards that he had religiously studied.

One of the younger soldiers from behind him mustered to voice out, "Sir, they sure din't look like the defectors from Fespal Third."

"Is not..." the grizzled veteran barely mumbled, still staring incredulously at the battlefield. "They're Tanith First."

Tactical Withdrawal (Fluff)

"Brother-Captain, confirmation received from Domino, they are leaving the system."

Captain Adama supressed a frown, dismissing Sergeant Fides with a nod.

"Tactical withdrawal. If I didn't know how the Raven Guards operate, I'll misjudge it as cowardice," he thought to himself. "But, why? First, the traitorous Iron Warriors..." he continued, as if mentally spitting the name, "...shipped off planet. Not that they will turn tails from the reinforcements... a hoard of Imperial conscripts? Now, the Raven Guards too. There should be a more logical explanation to this."

His contemplation was cut short as his auspex jolted to activity, his century-long battlefield training enough to recognize what the auspex reading meant.

"Stand fast, my Brothers! Enemy movement ahead!"

Campaign Updates (Update)

Campaign Updates:

*Art (Iron Warriors) and Francis (Raven Guard) dropped from the campaign.

*Arvin (Imperial Guards) might continue Art's game. I still need to reconfirm.

*In light of this, grids occupied by Art and Francis will remain controlled by them, and players that might substitute them will control the grids they have left. However, if any of the current players pushes to contend a grid occupied by the outgoing players, then it will be treated as if the contending player landed on an unoccupied grid (unless originally there's a non-player army guarding that grid).

*The Raven Guard withdrew from the skirmish at Grid 19. Chaos Marines of the Black Legion won back their control over the area.

*NOW ACCEPTING WEEK 3 MOVEMENTS!! YOU HAVE UNTIL TOMORROW!

I only got Jeff and Lito's movement orders so far.

The Priest of the Ecclesiarch bellowed psalms of praises as the holy bolters' chorus seemed to join the choir, their Battle Sisters eager to rake their familiar enemy.

From the shadows of the battle stood the Puritan Inquisitor Mikael, savouring the moment of his so-called "moral victory" against another Adeptas Sororitas strike force.

"Suffer not the psykers to live! Burn the Radical Lord... and BURN those who dared abide the witch!!"
