Lord Comissar Kohlmann, Belkan 1st, Imperial Guard, update transmissions
|
Status: _Green_
Location: -FLUXEL- 117/84
Fluxel. That is the name that
the proud men of the Glourious Belkan 1st have given to this wasteland
of a planet. Our elation at our initial success wore off quickly when
another tyranid hive fleet was spotted. We moved quickly to secure key
objectives, but the foul xenos are terrifyingly fast. There were two
giant monstrosities (carnifexes) that broke through our lines.
Casualities were high...
Only through sheer bloody mindedness were we able to hold off this threat and force the enemy to retreat.
Must place a request for more Leman Russes.
Titans too...hmm...
For the Emperor
Michael Kohlmann
Lord Commissar
Status:
_UNKOWN/MIA/KIA?_
Location: -FLUXEL- 117/83
This is Major Johnson
reporting in place of Lord Commissar Kohlmann on this dire day. The
Belkan 1st have made contact with Eldar elements at a great cost. Our
armor support was decimated and 10th platoon have 100% casualities. The
Lord Commissar was caught in the thick of the hand on hand combat with
the eldar farseer. He is believed dead.

| 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)

The
warp storm that locked the planet down was furious but brief. There were minor casualties all
around as the swirls and shifts in the Warp mutated, destroyed or
....removed.... personnel. As the storm wound
down, and the forces on-world started moving again, they noticed
that the surface of planet 2009-A1, Named "Fluxel" by the servants of
the Emperor of Man, had changed once again.
Giant ruined buildings, temples and monuments of both familiar and
strange architecture now cover the planets surface. As if an entire
civilization sprouted up, had it's entire existence, and fell into
ruin, all in the space of the warp storm. One thing in particular that
has been noticed by recon forces is a new system of caves that seem to
space a large portion of the main continent of this planet. Orbital
scans show massive energy readings from inside these caves.
Interestingly enough, an entrance to this cave system has been found
within easy reach of all armies. What's even stranger is that the
entrances appear to be located exactly mid-point between two armies.
It seems, whoever or whatever is at work on this strange world is
intent on creating more conflict. An intercepted Eldar transmission
even suggests that these occurrences may be testing the intruding
armies to see who is the strongest.
Whatever the reason, one this is crystal clear. You MUST get to those
caves first and find out who or what is behind these manipulations and
determine if they are to become an ally, or an enemy! |
