Ah. I think I might just set my next fictional Crusade nearby. After I finish the Ghoul Stars, I'm heading into Damocles for the Second Damocles Gulf Crusade.

This could be interesting...

No kidding. A three-way battle in the area, I can't wait to finish the Ghoul Stars Crusade.

I like the sound of both the next crusade and the Labyrinth scenario.

Tau vs Crons vs Imperium will go well. Gaurd would be decimated, Marines/Crons/Tau would proceed the rapid-fire engagements they excel at.

Strange, im a black templars terminator, a necron tomb stalker and an imperial guar vetaran, with a troubled past.

ok, that's a lot of things that could go wrong on this second crusade.

Very nice ideas so far! I can already see this will be a very chaotic game to play (chaotic=FUN, of course). My questions is what's with the random gain special rule roll? Is there a reason in the fluff, or to make things more interesting?
Either way, Szalas will be most pleased with this.
As for the Second Damocles Crusade, I wouldn't necessarily count the Imperial Guard out of this. They do, after all, number in the tens of thousands.

That's too small. I intend to launch my Crusade with at least the same numbers I have at the Ghoul Stars. Ten Astartes Companies, at least five million Guardsmen and five hundred thousand vehicles, a thousand capital ships, and a Titan Legion with a full skitarii and naval/aviation wing.

I'm a Nurgle lord, Black Templar Marshal, Necron Lord and Imperial Guard Pilot.

(Pssssss. Hey you. Yeh, YOU. join the awesome At the Arachonian disaster thread)

Who said that?

PLUG ALERT

12. At beginning of game Roll D6 for each SM squad, they gain one of the following:
1=Fleet (Worry begins taking it's toll as they dash about searching for the escape)
2=Relentless (Desperate times call for desperate measures as the SM try to take down as many of the Necron constructs before they die in the everchanging labyrinth)
3=Slow and Purposeful (Is that fear? SM become overly cautious hoping slow and quiet steps will draw less attention, what foolish hopes they have)
4=Fearless (Staring death in the face, rather then be overcome by worry *cough cough* FEAR *cough cough* the SM hold their ground, ready to fight to the last)
5=Stubborn (Similar to fearless, just to lesser extent)
6=Nothing
13. At beginning of game Roll D6 for the Wraiths and TS. They all gain one of the following:
1=Hit and Run (I think this one makes sense with how in the book Hellforged you see Wraiths striking then phasing through the wall then coming back and striking again)
2=Ambush! (When charging into assault, both sides must roll D6. Whoever rolls the highest strikes first on the initial assault. Ties = hit each other at the same time.) (This one, Necron constructs just simply have the element of surprise on their side as they can attack through walls and sneak up on prey while almost completely invisible)
3=Furious Charge (The lesser beings must not live!)
4=Fleet (Knowing that walls mean nothing to them and well aware of where their prey is, the Necron constructs rapidly advance to slaughter their prey)
5=Preferred Enemy: Everything! (Life is meaningless to Necron Constructs, thus must die unless ordered otherwise)
6=Nothing

I'm sorry, did I say tens of thousands? I probably meant for one planet.

We're going to need more if we're going to show the heathen Tau what it means to fight an Elder Race (Humans, Orks, Eldar, Necrons).

You should take a leaf out of your own book if Crons are involved.

So guys, I was going to surprise you all with a battle report against GK... But the guy rage quit at turn 2 because an I2 army can't beat GK much less Draigo who was whip coiled and about to get time arrow'd by Mista TEEEEEE!!!! So I guess we can say we sent GK w/ Draigo literally packing.

Pun.

nice

Question: do the Necrons get affected by the Hrud?

Yay, rage-quit win!

dunno

Tadashi wrote:Question: do the Necrons get affected by the Hrud?

I've never heard of any Necron-Hrud encounters so I can't help you there.

Tadashi, I have a question ... maybe i am missing another thread somewhere but how do we go about joining your crusade? I am at work so kinda going back and forth between work non work ... im lost haha

That's ridiculous. You should refuse to play that guy ever again if he'll continue to whine like that.

Talarn: You actually do that here. There's no other thread. Page one shows what slots are available.

Hrud affecting Necrons...? Never read that anywhere, but I don't see why it wouldn't happen. Their fields they create effect anything, really. No limit to biological organisms only.

Oh ok I managed to confuse myself there...

Lol at rage quit. See, I would have at least gone one or two more turns before throwing in the towel, depending on how well it was going.
So, think we'll see a suitable fluffy batrep?

Suitable fluffy batrep...

The two armies made a mad dash at each other, The Grey Knights knew the Necrons were lacking when it came to close combat and wanted to close the distance as soon as possible. The Necrons, being led by Draza'kar blasted away at the Grey Knights, Mor'tza slaying 2 paladins with his doomsday cannon. However, the rest of the firepower turned out to be ineffective. The grey knights however, also had fairly bad luck, their storm bolters missed the Necrons entirely, but it mattered not, they just had to get into close combat....

Draigo, caught sight of wraiths and a C'tan shard attempting to pull a flanking maneuver, and with a wicked grin, charged into the group, overly confident in his plot armor, provided to him by the Chaos God known as Ward, (which was unknown to his brother Grey Knights) which had allowed him to smite greater daemons of the other gods and pwn a primarch, he felt that a mere shard of a god was no match. However, as he charged, he felt something... some metal tendrils wrap around him slowing him down... he had lost the element of surprise. Mr. T turned his attention to this champion of horrid fluff, and grinning wickedly bellowed, "I pity the fool!" And with a snap of his fingers, Draigo disappeared, not into the warp, but back to when time was not time. Back to before the beginning of everything, back to before the big bang.

The other Grey Knights witnessed as this enslaved god had seemingly erased Draigo... and turned coward, beating a hasty retreat back to their ships to get away from such a monster. Later, when asked why they had fled the field of battle, the Grey Knight commander shrugged and said, "They weren't daemons, so they're not our problem." Commissar Fuklaw happened to overhear the coward speak and personally executed the entire detail of grey knights that had retreated from the battle.

U Mad, Grey Knights?

U mad BROtherhood?

I should have shot that insanely bad PUN down before we saw it...
