7th Edition Apocalypse Game

Had my first Apocalypse game after 11-12 years in the hobby. Got the chance to organize the game with ABO gaming buddies. 

Using 7th edition 40K rules. The game was planned to be played at around 10k points per side with 6 players. Due to Nurgle striking 2 players, we had to play the game with 6.5k points per side with 4 players.

Got to thank Titan Games LGS for hosting the game.

Imperium 

IG - 4k

Flesh tearers (BA) - 2.5k

Chaos

IG - 4k

Alpha Legion (30k) - 2.5k

The game was a blast. Never had such crazy fun in 40k for awhile, with super heavies failing spectacularly, daemons summoning left and right, rampaging knight titans, mass air battles between the IG. The action never stop.. well before turn 4. I will let Jaeroler post the more detail post on the game. Here are some pictures..

Fell glaive brace for knight titan charge!

The heat blast from the dread claw was too much for tzeentch herald and blood letter.

Conclusion
We ended the game at turn 4 with the final result concluded at turn 6:
Imperium : Chaos (points)
17 - 12
Imperium Victory.

The 3 knight titans brought by the Imperium side were unstoppable, rampaging through the battlefield killing whatever they came into contact. Future Apoc games will surely bring counter measures to kill off those knight titans before they can deal devastating damage in melee.

One of the best CKT I had for awhile

Background
9111014.M41 - First report of the hive world Quintus III erupting in planet wide rebellion. Local PDF sway by the speeches and propaganda of the rebel leader join up with the masses to overthrow Imperium rule. The Adeptus Arbites were quickly overwhelm in many locations, consolidating in the planetary governor hive spire. The only Imperium force capable of stopping the rebellion at that time were the Necro 8th Imperial Guard with their knight allies stationed on the planet on a rearm & refit operation. Current status of the Necro 8th Imperial guard is unknown. Planetary governor Hartitcus sent out an astropathic plea asking for help to crush the rebellion.

9132014.M41 - Craftworld Altansar Farseers divining into the future saw that doom would strike Altansar  and all paths point to the mon-keigh world of Quintus III. The Farseers & Autarchs assembled a war council  and decided that a strike force consisting of engines of Vaul and titan were needed to exterminate all mon-keigh presence on the planet.

9139014.M41 - Brother Corbulo on-board the Flesh Tearers battle barge - Victus divine that planet wide rebellion was happening on Quintus III. Chapter master Gabriel Seth responds immediately, changing course of the battle barge and heading straight for Quintus III system.

9140014.M41 - Last transmission received from the planet reported blue azure Space Marines with hydra iconography moving between the rebels. Directing the rebels attacks on key installations on the planet.

9144014.M41 -  Dark Angels for unknown reason was operating near the region. On-board their battle barge - Ultimate Vengeance they received the astropath last transmission. Translating the message concluded that the Alpha legion was on the hive world. The presence and chance to capture traitor marines cannot be allowed to slip. Wasting no time the Dark Angels plot course for Quintus III.

9156014.M41 - The Dark angels and Flesh tearers arrived in the system of Quintus III. No rebel fleet was detected in scanner range. Arriving in the orbit of the planet, resistance from surface was non-existence but the Adeptus Astartes battle barges detected large concentration of rebels dug in on the outskirts of the principle hive. Both Adeptus Astartes chapters prepare to launch ground invasion...

30k Alpha Legion List

Made a decision in my life that I had been contemplating since Dec 2013. Maybe I will come to regret the decision in the future... but for now I am glad that I made the decision.

Been awhile since I last played a game of Warhammer due to work commitments. With more time now and the release of Horus Heresy book 3, starting a 30k army (Alpha Legion). Below is the list I will be using to play against Ray of anythingbutones blogspot.
