Making My First Foray Into 40k

My tentative list, as veracified via splurge, it's got a Wraithlord with a D-Cannon, 10 Guardians with a Lascannon Platform, 3 Jetbikes, a Vyper with Splinter Cannon upgrade and Missile Launcher, 3 Rangers and a Farseer. 500 points of raw speculative Power.

If I was to get into the 40k games, my army would be Slaanesh, as you can't go wrong with the Chaos God/Goddess of Drugs, Sex and Rock'n'roll! \,,/_ _\,,/

Now that I've boomboxed my mohawked friend, he's here to yell at you.
GTFO! The Feds are watching!


And, to resume my own, I've an excellent Tau army incoming on the cheap. Next up, The Mordians. Orks will probably be a 20 bucker, fucker.



500 points, I've got 'em.

I wrote Marines LOL on his right boot in neon green.

This video has an aesthetic power i great many ways.

Fuck yeah, '80s aesthetic! d b ~thumbs

Gotta rustle them spokes to the attempt of acquiring thereof the nature of the Squat Bikes. You know why.

Apparently the mighty Bob Olley forayed off into the distance with the Squat concept. I read this after some googlin'. And to this day he's fashioning Space Dwarfs under the Scrunt moniker.

I'm gonna call my in-transit Chopper Gang with Ancestor sidecar "The Savage Firsts". It's a fucking glorious roundabout quadruple entendre of a name. Fuck your accente gous.

Kinda makes me wanna score up an old beater VHS of Rock & Rule. Here's a tune for the unwavering.

I've an attestment of overt power, a Siege Dreadnought as outlined in the original Warhammer Siege, a WIP of currently orkish visage.

I'm planning mostly on reffing a branching campaign ladder series, which must mean I'll be using the Savage Firsts.

It'll take a lot of set-up to make that feasible.

I figure the Siege Dreadnought will have a Demolisher (like a ball and chain), a las-cutter, and a ladder on the back. no manipulative arm, but it's all in good fun.

It's shaping up dandy. I'll probably set the campaign on a world with savage tribes.

Campaign on Terra Nova
Terra Nova is a planetoid-a moon base of sorts with its origin being a devastated planet. It’s spherical land amounts to being approximately the size of Texas. Exactly?

The Forces available
A solitary Zoanthrope-This creature contains vast amounts of Squat DNA. It roams about parts unknown
“The Squat Bikers”-These are a squad of relicts to their kind, hunting and being dogs of war.
Eldar Garrison-The Eldar control a vast complex. It is a mining facility and it also has the atmosphere generator aboard, making it rain constantly.
Tau Expats-These are a platoon of Fire Warriors accompanied by a sizeable Kroot contingent. They are stranded and need various parts for their ship.
Orks-The Orks are emergent from their pods and control a trading post whereby they manufacture large vehicles to blast through the wastes.
Mordians?-If they show, it’s for Admech and/or exterminator reasons. Their base is a barracks.

Each army will only have finite troop numbers, visa vi suggested casualty recovery table, and an experience table, with a small reserves base. Withdrawal tactically available. The forces are dividable.
The armies will amount to 500 points apiece circa 3rd.

The battles will be of objective-pursuits and missions. There’ll be a pair of secret objectives doled out to each true faction-the Squats & Zoanthrope being tertiary forces.

Terrain-mostly barren wastes, rock outcroppings, etc. There’s a strange petrified forest on one portion of the planetoid, stretching for miles.
Special Terrains
Jeb’s Gas Bar-Jeb don’t broach no tomfoolery. Sells info & vehicles. Jeb is a Space Marine terminator, with a pair of assistants-probably two space marines, or one and a xeno. They sell info & vehicles.
The alcove with the ancient siege dreadnought. 5 Maguffins. The automated fortress; the hoverskiff; derelict town; the old mine.

Maguffins
Omni-skull:provides radar data, locations of items, etc.
Folding Hoverboard:a retracting, fast, nigh-invincible weapon from the Dark Age of Technology
One-shot tactical Nuclear Launcher: shoots with scatter dice, eradicates a 1 foot radius area with a S10 D6 wounds hit.
