Astronomicon Update
 
With Communications being sketchy at best, you are pretty much on your own for the time being.
 
The vegitation and animal life on this planet seems abundant.  The ecosystems seem to be in complete harmony, with no indications of any indiginous, sentient life.
 
You have the constant feeling like your being watched and when you circle back on a location, you swear that things have changed somehow.
 
Scout this portion of the planet, and continue to attempt to solidify communications with your primary command.

Frequently Asked Questions
 Do all my minis have to be completely painted to play?
No - we ask that you work toward getting them painted so you can play in the January RTT but it is not a requirement for the Battlelines League.
 
Do I have to use the same army every week? 
Yes and No.  You must keep the same army that you have registered on the first of December.  So if you don;t like the army you started with you can change, however you will lose any campaign benefits / badges you have already earned.  You may change your army list for each week as you see fit within the guidelines of the current version of the Codex for your army.  
 
Remember - all minis/models ar played WYSIWYG - what you see is what you get - so if your marines are carrying Sniper Rifles they can not use another weapon even if it is on the Codex useable weapons list. (unless the weekly scenario overrules this rule) 
 
   
It's the 41st Millenium.  You are the commander of a powerful army.  A strange new star system has mysteriously appeared in the South-Western quadrant of the galaxy.  You are moving to investigate this occurance.  The warp is unstable and communications to the planet are inconsistent.
 
You are just a small scouting party, your objectives are to scout out the planet, and find a suitable location to create a Beach Head for the rest of your forces to arrive.  Initial scans show that there are many different scout units on the planet and you have no idea who's friendly and who's not.
