Jericho Reach: The Beginning

Jericho Reach.
A little known galaxy with just a handful of inhabited planets.
Until....
From the east of the galaxy a new tendril of the Tyranids, Hive Fleet Dagon, emerged from the cold inky blackness of space.
The Imperium detected this invasion into real space and sent their elite division of Space Marines, the Ordo Xenos of the Deathwatch, to investigate and report back on this new invader.
Years passed with no response until suddenly a message was received from the planet Credence.
The message simply read 'We can control them.'
However this message was not only received by the Imperium, the message was scattered amongst the stars by unknown methods and it was heard...



From the Imperium the Dark Angels, the Space Wolves, the Flesh Tearers and the Howling Griffons responded to the message. Even an elite group of the Adeptus Custodes arrived in the system.

Even the Chaos Gods sent agents to represent them in real space: the Thousand Sons and Daemons of Nurgle. The Tyranid threat even spilled over into the Chaos Realm.

The varying races of Xenos arrived in the system: the Necrons of the Laharl Dynasty calculated the importance of this message as very high, the Harlequins wanted to gain this new information on the Tyranid threat for their Black Library and a hired war band of Orks led by Kaptin Badrukk came to the galaxy for a good ol' scrap and the potential of adding more teef to their vast collection.

Each army sent a small contingent to the planet's surface to investigate for clues and set up a base on Credence. And so the story begins....

Jericho Reach: First Encounters

The galaxy was surrounded by the Hive Fleet however those whom arrived by space travel found that the Fleet parted to allow slender corridors for travel into the Jericho galaxy. However the Tyranids did not so much as stir or attack the space craft.  Each army sent their favoured heroes and their chosen acolytes. On the mining planet of Rheelas the Howling Griffons led by Chaplain Titus within his great Dreadnought armour were the first to engage in battle with the Necrons led by Overlord Naile. However both commanders understood it would do no good to exterminate each other. They both strategically retreated to fight another day. If Khorne was watching he would be greatly angered by the lack of bloodshed. Overlord Naile was able to claim the relic weapon known as Void Reaper and within the mining facility found a Tomb World filled by his Laharl Dynasty brothers.  The Howling Griffons were then ambushed by the Thousand Sons led by the Daemon Prince known in Low Gothi...

Worcester Wargames 40K Doubles .

It's that time of year again! The Six Up Save lads are painting last mintue details and packing our carry cases in preparation for another one of Worcester Wargames awesome local Tournaments . This years contest comes with a twist; the doubles teams will be paired up at random! From what we are given to understand Andy (the TO) is pairing people up with respective armies (Imperium with Imperium, Orks with Orks etc) but we wont know exactly who our teammates are until the morning of the Tourney. The day will consist of 3 games, one person on each team will be playing Maelstrom objectives and his teammate will be playing for standard objectives on the same board, so it will be an interesting mix up of normal game rules. I'm taking my Redeemer's, but due to lack of time / laziness I'm just taking the exact same list as my Six Up Save League. It's hardley optimised for competitive gameplay, but its fun, fluffy and means I don't have to stress about painting any...

Tarsis 4, hosted by Geno52 and Incom Gaming

Today Sam went to Cheltenham to join in with 19 other people on a narrative 30k campaign day. This post will review the day, show off some of the armies that attended and detail how each game went for The Iron Warriors.  First of all I wish to say what a fantastic day that I had. I drove down with Ben Fletcher who was using his warp cult and allied knights and was prepared for a few games of heresy. What I got was three amazing games with friendly and fun opponents. To top this off there was a fluffy element to the whole event running throughout. With people bringing lists which showed off their legions strengths and not following the standard net list builds that you sometimes see in a 40k event. The event was well thought out and well ran by Tom and Stu. Loyalists vs traitors and a winning team, not individual. Which brought about a sense of comradery. Here is the list that I took. I made a 2000 and 2500 point list and used the latter twice and the former once.   Game one Fo...
