Slower pace of life

Well as you can guess probably from the title I have not done a great deal at the moment lol. Erm basically university still keeping the work load up but I'm almost free for the summer lol.

anyway hobby wise i have been:

  • converting my grey knight dreadnought
  • back on track with harakonia drop troops
  • dwarves are being dust off the project shelf lol

also had a game this week and well I got massacred lol my poor grey knights didn't stand a chance with the armour on the board arrayed against them and a half asleep commander lol, anyway its back to the drawing board with them and making them more competitive.

hopefully ill have something to show next update.

The winter assault

Well new website and a new begining hopefully lol. Well im going to start a mini campaign with curtis for the lost valley campaign to try out the game mechanics for the bigger events later in year and see if this new site layout will work and make it more interactive.







so at the moment the control of the valley looks like this:







During the recent conflict of Fortex prime a retreating regiment of the PDF (21st Prime Rangers) withdrawing for the desert conflict of the north after being ordered to abandon the desert to the traitors and defend key locations along the bordering lands. The Rangers were tasked with defending the wood land region of the east and protect the local Hive Willowmire. On the reach a booby traps where set up along the way to slow the traitors down one of these traps went off prematurely causing massive avalanches in the mountainous region of the north east. This unknowingly revealed a massive man made cave network built many centuries ago.
Legend of the region spoke there would come a time when Fortex prime is in its darkest hour a valley of the ancients would be revealed to the people bestowing a great weapon to defeat the evil that has infected the land.

On hearing reports Inquisitor Carlos Thor believed that a ancient planetary defence weapon was hidden in this valley and could prove useful in defeating the chaos forces, so he ordered small parties to begin scouting the lost valley for and possible weapon sites etc that could be this “great weapon”

At the time of the valleys discovery mass psychic blast echoed over the planet that could not be ignored by the traitor’s sorcerer, believe it a sign from his gods that could not be ignored he set off with a small war host to discover the valleys secrets with his distrustful allies the ork mercenaries and dark eldar pirates…….
