I really enjoyed the Red Waaagh. It gave a pretty good perspective of the three factions. Imperial Knights, Imperial Guard, and Orks. The only bit of fluff I didn't understand was how one Shokk attack gun disabled a single Imperial Knight which in turn blocked the path the Knights were using. It was already said that the path was high above waters. Why wouldn't the knights simply knock their disabled/dead comrade into the waters?

The only issue I had with the Stormclaw set was it brought back Grukk to put him against the Space Wolves only for them to face off in an epic battle against each other and then they are teleported away from each other so no one dies. I know this is just a way to drag the story on, hopefully it will have a satisfying conclusion. The ending screamed that the writer did not want to "kill his babies"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/607990/7072729.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/607990/7072729.page GMT Sanctus Reach, how are you liking the fluff? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/607990/7074690.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/607990/7074690.page GMT Sanctus Reach, how are you liking the fluff?

The ending of Stormclaw bothered me aswell,the only reason Grey Knights can survive teleporting with Power Armo(u)r is that they have such anti demon training,wouldn't the wolf be torn apart by daemons asap?


Terminator armor acts like a personal gellar field for the Space Marine using it but even though it provides protection, it isn't needed for travel through the warp, just lessens the chances of something bad happening to the user. Ships have traveled through the warp without a gellar field and made but have damage or things can go completely wrong, same concept here so they can do it but choose not to because the risk involved. GKs due to their psychic training generate their personal gellar field at all times and therefore risk teleporting in regular power armor. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/607990/7074738.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/607990/7074738.page GMT Sanctus Reach, how are you liking the fluff? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/607990/7075024.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/607990/7075024.page GMT Sanctus Reach, how are you liking the fluff? GW introducing a whole new campaign built for 40k (not apoc) I almost purchased everything relating to it.

I got the Red Waaagh!, Stormclaw, White Drawf for Stormclaw, the Evil Sun Raising ebook, as well as all the suppliment ebooks and audiobooks for the Sancus Reach campaign.

Probably not, "not wanting to "kill his babies"", but rather to act as a jumping off point for the tabletop game.
It leaves an open end for you to play out further conflict between these two forces. Dare I say (ugh, can't believe it) it leaves you free to "forge the narrative"!

It's fun reading some of the older codex, such as Sisters of Battle where if think Jacobus was killed but he is a HQ choice still.

I like the fact that we have unnamed HQs to use as characters. Unlike other Wargames that have only named HQs I like 40k for having my own Warboss. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/607990/7076142.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/607990/7076142.page GMT
