I don't know if this is the best place to put this. I'm moving for the following four months to Vanvlak's land, so i'm expecting to do at least some battles against their necron army. After thinking about it, i thought about sme background for our battles, so there it is. Also, i hope that we manage to make some BR, as it would be very difficult for our armies to see each other again.

Atlam's invasion

The planet Atlam was discovered a few years ago by rogue trader Julius Kaeron. The place was a true mistery, as there were lots of ruined buildings and archeological hints that it was once the home of an advanced species, which had converted it's planet in an almost invencible fortress, but there was no trace of the species, and the planet's ecology seemed broken, as if a major catastrophe had annhilated almost all life forms.
After receiving news of the place, the High Lords of Terra dispatched an Ordos Xenos investigation team to set up a base in Atlam. The team sent files with it's discoveries every six months... until last time, when an emergency automatic beackon reached the imperial navy satellites. As Atlam is relatively near ork-controlled space, an invasion force was quickly assembled to fly to Atlam.



So here they are, a fastly built force, comprising 1st Xenophonian Regiment, Yuber Okami's Irregulars (an strange hodgepot of survivors of other nearly-destroyed infantry regiments, volunteers, mercenaries & even aliens and mutants) and three heavy tank regiments. Also (although not depicted) there is a Leman Russ Tank Company.



And there's the air support, the pride of my epic collection. Do anyone guess in which camo scheme did i inspire to paint them? Does anyone know the banner?

Hope the next post comes from Vanvlak  :)

Uh-oh - looks like I'm in trouble - especially since the Necrons (er - Andrayads) are nowhere near ready.....  but the Necrons have infiltrated the Ad Mech, right?  :p
See you tomorrow at the airport, Yuber O. What time did you say you arrive?

Oh - and nice army - will be happy to see it close up.  :cool:

Don't worry: i can help you painting the Necrons, or we could use proxies (as those DRM titans... maybe they could be useful as abbatoirs or something as big). Also, there's no need to use necrons... what other armies did you say you own?

Officially my plane arrives from Milan at 16:55 GMH +1:00 (i.e., official hour at Spain, France, Italy, Tunis...).

Marckonz, you should wait for the close ups, as the whole army is just packed. Hope Vanvlak can make some close-up pictures, as he seems a better photograph than me.

Ah well, seems like my Necrons will get done, at any rate...  :D
Same time as us by the way.
Markconz, I'll take care of the photos.  :D

Ah well, time to settle in for a loooong winter of invasion! :cool:
See you at the airpot, Y-O.

So, the fleet departs. After a short trip to Nalim, where it will regroup, it'll arrive to Atlam...



(The fleet is not coming with me, but it looks cool for the background, although the picture seems made in the mercurial zone xD)

The invasion has begun, and Yuber is safely ensconced in a new forward base. There are now more than one Epic player in Malta! :D

Glad to hear that he arrived safely. I think we're all looking forwards to some Batreps.  :cool:

I don't think i will become infected, as many spaniards don't like victorian age, as it was Spain's worst hour (lots of civil wars, loss of the empire...). Anyway, i could give it a try  :)


You should wait until saturday at least to see some battles (battle reports could take a little longer, depending on how busy we are and computer avaibility). Also, "someone" didn't do his homework so maybe you will see some necrons in a very metallic-like colour scheme...
