40k Campaign

40k Campaign "Galactic empires"

In the far future, in a galaxy far, far away...

It was a very typical tuesday evening for Mak. He had finished his work in the fields and was now relaxing in the waning glare of the eveing sun. The Aka-birds flying from tree to tree created a peaceful sound in the background as he laid on the hillside close to his fields. However this harmony was not to last.

Mak's quietude was shattered by a loud booming sound from the skies. As he opened his eyes to look up at the cause of the noise he beheld a group of burning spheres surging down through the thin clouds leaving behind trails of smoke. A few seconds later the fireballs struck the ground in a thunderous blast of dirt.

After the dust had settled Mak observed a huge egg of iron at the bottom of each impact crater. To his great amazement the eggs split with a mechanical hum to reveal massive humanoids clad in steel emerge from inside them.

From the orbit high above the rest of the space marine invasion force descended on the planet aboard their thunderhawks.


Playing in the campaign

In order to partake in the campaign the participant must have a 40k army worth at least 1000pts and be able to play a game against any other participant at "Cross" (or other venue agreed upon by both players) once every two weeks.


Sign up

Those willing to take part in the campaign must contact the campaign master Juho Hinkkanen before the end of August.


Campaign Rules

Games will be played using the 5th edition rules and any supplemental rules imposed by the campaing master. All campaign games must be played using the same army list. Changes can be made to accomodate differing points levels or after a campaign event allows for one.

The campaign will progress in a series of two-week phases. In each phase the players will issue challenges to other players in varying order. Challenges will be issued in this thread in order to keep all participants up to date.

Example: if order of challengers is A, B, C, D, E, F. then A will get to choose who to challenge. If A challenges B the next one to issue a challenge is C. If A challenges C then B gets to challenge any unchallenged player (D, E or F) next.

In the next campaign phase the order of challengers would then be B, C, D, E, F, A

The same players can't fight each other in two successive phases.

Challenges will be fought out at a points level agreed upon by both parties.

The campaign games will determine the progress of each player on the campaign map. The winner of each game will get to conquer either an unclaimed area or capture an area adjacent to any of his/her areas from the player he/she fought last.

Most areas grant their controllers benefits to be used in the campaign.

Outside influence: in order to include players who are unable to attend the campaign in a regular fashion outside influence is introduced into the campaign. This means that a non-campaign player will assault a campaign player's area. The campaign player runs the risk of losing his/her area and the benefits gained therefrom.

Outside influence will be used to equal the odds or push the campaign forward according to the judgement of the campaign master. All games including outside influence must therefore be sanctioned by the campaign master.

Campaign will end when the first player looses all his/her areas. The winner is the one controlling most areas at that time.

itku potku parku...

Lyhyen matikkani mukaan 400 pts combat partio ei ihan riitä kamppaniaan asti. Jos noin 250 pts valmistuu vuodessa, kestää vain kaksi ja puoli vuotta niin sittenhän olisi tonni kasassa. Nomutta, eipä auta kun jatkaa maalaamista ja yrittää saada jotain aikaan.

[Naik]

jos opiskelet ja/tai asut muuten yli järkevän matkan päässä crossista, mutta haluat silti osallistua kamppanjahan, on mahdollisuus olla mukana eräänlaisena jumalan koneena, deus ex machina, eli pelaamasi pelit voivat vaikuttaa kampanjan kulkuun.
Olisit silloin alueeton pelaaja joka hyökkäilee silloin kun on paikalla eri pelaajien kimppuun ja poistaa tältä jonkin alueen jos voittaa pelin.
Tosin tämä on vasta idea ja ehdotus. ja mahdolliset combat patrollitkin voi littää peliin, tosin varauksella että se sopii virallisille pelaajille.

Tosin vasta idea asteella oleva ehdotus josta pitäisi kollektiivisti keskustella. Samoin kuin mahdolliset kill-team pelit sekä edellisen edikan erikoiset scenut kuten defender/attacker-tyyliset ja mahdolliset assassinationit. jos on halukkuutta erilliseen toimintaan. samaten kyllä käy apoc pelit, tosin varauksella.

Vain ehdotuksia ja keskustelun aihetta.

Players:
Bone = Death guard
Red = Word bearers
Green = Dark angels
Purple = Tyranids

Markings:
C&C = Command & control: a players command post. The campaing will end when the first player loses his command post.
V = veteran skills: capturing a veteran skills area will grant one of your units a veteran skill (randomly selected from the lists in the rule book at the beginning of the next game as is the unit recieveing the ability) as a result of upgraded equipment or extended training.
Q = connunincations relay: the player controlling this facility gains the orbital bombardment (lance strike) from the demonhunters codex. This does not count towards the army points total nor use a force organisation slot.
R = reinforcements: the player controlling this area gains en extra unit worth 10% of the points of the game being played. This unit does not count towards the army points total nor use a force organisation slot.

Tiles:
Every tile has a numeric id as follows: Vertical rows have been given tag letters (A-G), the tiles on each row are then numbered from left to right. For example the reinforcements tile's id is D4 while the bone C&C-tile's id is A1.

Order of challengers (selected randomly):
1.Tyranids, 2.Death guard, 3.Word bearers, 4.Dark angels

[JMH]

On your marks, ready, set, FIGHT!

[Teuras]

The Tyranids decide to advance south! To devour some Dark Angles!

(Minulla käy pelikooksi kaikki 1000 ja 2000 pointin väliltä ^^. Ja tälle pelille olisin vapaana esim Ma 22.9 tai La 27.9.)

[Juike]

In theyr haste to get to grips with the mighty Dark Angles the Tyranid horde did not notice the eyes watching them from the shadows. Forewarned about the imminent threat the Dark Angels set about fortifying theyr possitions and steel them selves for the comming engagement.

Eli Enkelit hyväksyy haasteen sotia 2000 pisteen sotajoukoilla, maanantaina 22.09.

[Juike]

Miten toi challenging toimii nyt ku on vaan 4 pelaajaa? Mun maanantain pelin jälkeen mua ei voi haastaa ja mä en voi hastaa ketään? mitenkäs sit ku DG ja WB on pelannu, pitääkö mun sit taas pelata nidejä vastaan?

[JMH]

Seuraavalla kierroksella sä et voi haastaa nidejä eikä nidit sua. Sama DG:n ja WB:n välillä. Tämä ihan vaihtelun takaamiseksi.

[Juike]

Bolters barcking out fiery death and lascannons frying xeno scum left and right was not enough infrot of the overwhelming numbers the xenos filth had brought to fore. To the last man the Dark Angles stood slaughtering alien abominations, but in the end it was a numbers game and they had more. Once the Tyranids had moved on to let theyr devouring and assimilation begin a burst of light and the crack of parting air toled of the arival of Terminator clad Angels who tagged theyr fallen brethren for retreaval by the ships in orbit, some for geneseed extraction others for emidiate medical care.

Eli tyrkyt otti aika vaikuttavan voiton tässä kamppanjan avaus taistossa.:) ehkä vähän yli ammuttu toi intro :D

[Pake]

Kylläpäs saa tavallisen selkäsaunan kuulostamaan fantastisen urhoolliselta ;)
Kuinkahan tota karttaa sais silleen kivasti päivitettyä niin, että kaikki näkis koko ajan tilanteen.
Tällä hetkellä Pekalla taitaa olla yksi ruutu vallattuna, mutta olis tosi siis niinku kiva nähdä missä mennään...

Juho???

[JMH]

Ei Pekalla.

En ole vielä saanut voittajalta tietoa, minkä ruudun haluaa valloittaa. Päivitän kartan, kun sen tiedän ja toinenkin kierroksen peli on pelattu.

On his command deck aboard his flagship orbiting the planet the rest of the galaxy had thus far forgotten the commander of the space marine invasion force studied the reports. Dismayed at the defeat of his forces before the ravening tyranid horde his only joy was that the chaos traitors' invasion had ground to a halt as a result of internal conflicts. Emperor willing he could yet stop them all.



Eli järjestyksen mukaan seuraavaksi vastustajansa saa valita Death Guard (sorry Juike).

[Juike]

Ai niin joo tääl oli sellanen järjestyskin :D pitää yrittää muistaa se :D My apologies to the allmighty campaign master :)

[Pake]

"And the almighty primarch of Death Guard, Mortarion, polished his scythe and turned his gaze towards...."

Paskan marjat. Pääseekö Dark Angelit keskiviikkona 8.10. klo 17.00 Death Guardien kotiluolaan heittelemään noppia 1750 pisteen edestä?

[Juike]

Company Master Barakiel laughs at The filthy Mortarions inability for narating his own moves ;) Redeploying his forces and sending the now healed marines from the Tyranid encounter back to the front lines, confident that this would be a day of legends he ordered his forces to make theyr due enoightments and preparations for WAR!

Enkelit tulee tulisilla siivillä tar riverille.:)

[Naik]

The ultra-puritan High Inquisitor Achinov worriedly reads his agents reports of the Imperial defeat to the Tyranids and the Tau. Concerned about the upcoming ordeal the Space Marines are facing, he decides to send them a reminder in the form of the overzealous Ecclesiarchy and junior inquisitor Remmer.
"Hopefully the Marines will after this accept His Word more willingly and show the enemies of the Imperium the proper asswhooping they deserve!" He thinks.

Elikkäs inqvisitio käy vierailemassa Dark Angelien luona lauantaina, tällä kertaa "ystävällisin" mielin, pienellä harjoittelu missiolla. Tosin värikuulat jää tarkoituksella mustaan laivaan :)

[Juike]

Taken completely by surprise when the sister superior showed him her boobs, company master Barakiel totaly forgot his plan of attack and took the lecture like a man.
