And it continued to fight… until the Sergeant struck. The thing had taken enough damage to kill a space marine ten times over–including multiple assault cannons that tore chunks of its corporeal form away. He drew his combat knife and without hesitation leapt into the creature slicing best he could. The Sergeant kept firing as the rest of his squad was annihilated by the creature’s whirling blades and streaks of foul sorcerous energy. The Seargent hated the xenos war machine for its sheer existence, and even the marvel of its technical achievement in motion could not balance out his revulsion. A scout walker led the way, its long legs somehow gracefully picking their way thru the ruined streets.

The Sergeant’s helmet vox chirped with confirmation as his heads-up display showed the initial markers of the Aeldari attack force that approached the Ultramarines’ positions. Given that I run lava bases, I had to go for the equator of the planet where there is the lava flows, hah! Our campaign organizers indicated we’ll get a sort of reset then (the full faction reveal comes in two days after this post for both Aeldari and Drukhari!).Ībove is the initial map of where the different forces started their control of the planet and who remained on the hulk. For game #7 I took an all-Drukhari list as for the start of 10th as I’m not sure if Ynnari will be a thing, so wanted to get ready for running just one of them in case. I got in two games to represent the initial clashes as my forces expanded out into the surface of the planet–great games vs Dave’s Ultramarines and Gwen’s Aeldari (who have a cool Metroid-inspired color scheme). Another set of games in our ongoing campaign, which now has moved out of the Boarding Actions phase as some of the forces on the space hulk spread out onto the nearby planet surface (players could choose to keep competing for the Hulk or move to the planet).
