Death is coming from deep in the Eye of Terror.

After the luke warm success of the chaos forces in breaching the Cadian gate, Angron, Fulgrim, Magnus and Mortarion fully intend to exploit the turmoil the Imperium is in. Reinforcements have arrived, and the assault now begins in earnest, after leaving with a fleet packed to the brim with Chaos Marines, beastmen and hordes of the damned he is slowly approaching the gate. His estimated date of arrivial will be the 24th of December, on the 25th he will personally lead the assault on Lapland. On the 1st of January the results of this new online campaign will be published.

Thankfully the Imperium is not alone in dealing with this threat. A long, long time ago, a several of humanities finest signed a pact with a group of diminuative engineers, they would be placed into cyrogenic storage until the Imperium needed them the most. This engineers were from a race all but forgotton in the mists of time. Now they have emerged from there Lapland fortresses to fortify and rebuild it in time for the assault. There cargo has been unfrozen and the Imperium is now ready for battle, for to fail will mean the galaxy being split into four hell's each ruled over by a vindicive hate filled primarch desperate for revenge and his own sense of justice.

Setting up a signal beacon that broadcast all the way back to there homeworlds, life begins to stir.... the area was thought to have been annihilated by the ravening forces of the Tyranids, but this was not so, the inhabitants just buried deep, deep into the rock and have hidden for centuries nestled in a community close to the centre of there planets.

Now the Squats are back, and just in time to save Christmas...

Further details:

This is just a bit of fun for the christmas period, the Primarchs are returning - please note that they won't be taking part in the battles directly, there are too powerful and are assumed to be in overall command, the individual battles are too small a scale to count.

If you guys could log your 40k, BFG, Epic:A, Epic40k and NetEPIC games on the new site which will be unveiled at the weekend then it would be appreciated.

This won't be in the unofficial Netepic timeline and won't effect the GW fluff, but I will do a write up for Incoming!

The whole thing will be automated and audited, ALL results will be shown, including the raw data, the formulas and so forth and then you can see how the games effected the score.

Hope you guys enjoy ;). I will keep you posted.

Do we get to see Grand Marshal Claus of the korvatunturi league, also known by his troops as "Santa"?  :laugh:

Now I've GOT to test my new Squat army even if it means going to the street with a Suomi SMG and forcing the first passerby to play a game with me.  :p

Edit: so far the army includes:
1 Warrior brotherhood
1 Guild Biker force
1 Grand Battery
1 Colossus "Greenskin Slayer"
1 Overlord Airship "Lord Gotrek"

Total: 2500 Net Epic points

Not very balanced, I'll need at least one Warrior Brotherhood more.

Hehe, did some work this morning before work - will publish the final page tonight :)

Here is a sneak preview of the rules:


Supported game systems and rules for using them

Epic: Armageddon Click on the target planet and log game results for a planet as usual
Epic40k Click on the target planet and log game results for a planet as usual
NetEPIC/Heresy Click on the target planet and log game results for a planet as usual
40k Use the 40k game logging system to record your games results. (40k Icon)
Battlefleet: Gothic - Planetary Assault Click on the target planet and log game results for a planet as usual
Battlefleet: Gothic - Any other scenario Use the BFG game logging system to record your games results. (BFG Icon)
Inquisitor Use the Inquisitor game logging system to record your games results. (]I[ Icon)

The results of your actions....

EPIC scale and BFG planetary assaults - The main method of scoring points for your chosen force.

40k games - Represents the effects of skirmishs, raids and scouting forces to provide detailed intelligence for the larger armies involved.

Battlefleet: Gothic - Represents the attempts to gain space superiority for bombardments and controlling the supply routes.

Inquisitor - Lapland is littered with many hidden artifacts created by Santa and his team of Squats, many of the most powerful ones lay protected in secret vaults awaiting discovery. With all the races combining to battle for the fate of christmas there are also many, many conspiracies going on...

This results in the following formula to determine the victor

EPIC/Planetary Assault Battles Won * (40k% + BFG%) = Final points value

At daily intervals the inquisitor results will be checked - the winning side will gain an event card in there favour.


Tho I am considering ditching the Inquisitor results....

And I've found just the model to base a new Greater Demon / Primarch conversion on....

Heresy's Evil Santa.....

Pity I dont have the time or cash - anyone else willing to take up the challange of epic-ising the model?
