Thought I'd upload the story and campaign rules I've come up with for a week long gaming session I'm having with some mates at the end of April. The core of the rules were taken from a site online (I would like to give credit where it's due, but unfortunately I didn't make a note of the website) and I then modified them to allow for the changes to the current rule set and added a few tweaks of my own.

The story is tailored to the armies me and my mates are taking and was principally written to make the Imperial Guard the 'good guys'. Usually my friend Neil's Imperial Guard are always traitor guard for the purposes of our yearly story campaign that I run and organise, as it usually ends up that he is facing Space Marines, or that he has to ally with my other friend's Chaos Space Marines. But we thought it high time that the Imperial Guard be depicted as the heroes. Those brave soldiers who stand in the face of adversity and fight for what is right. In the instance of The Storm War they may 'technically' be traitors in the eyes of the Imperium, but they are standing on the morale high ground at least.

Hope you enjoy the story and please feel free to use the campaign rules for yourself. Some battle reports and plenty of photos should follow in early May.

Rules look good and well thought out. I'm looking forward to seeing how battles play out during lightning storms and how the random army list rolls will play out.
