Espandor Skirmish-40K Campaign Announcement

Now that Charlie‘s Ephesus Campaign has come to a successful completion; culminating in a bloody and brutal Apocalypse game for the planet and the system, it is time for me to remind you that I will be organizing a new campaign to begin in January or February. This campaign will be a combination of Skirmish (Kill Team) and 40K!
 
Like the Ephesus Campaign it will be an escalating campaign with painted and WYSIWYG requirements. You will play the same faction in both parts (Kill Team & 40K) of the campaign.
 
Look for more announcements soon!

Shadow War Espandor Campaign on Hold

We are delaying the actual start up of the Shadow War/40K campaign while we wait to see what the rumored release of the new Kill Team is like. Kyle at the local game store pointed out that on the bottom of the the Shadow War: Armageddon counters, in small print, it said Shadow War: Armageddon Kill Team. So there is a possibility that the new Kill Team looks more like Shadow War then the 7th edition Kill Team. We can only hope.

WiP – Espandor Team Tau

 

I am nearly done with my Tau team for the test run of the Espandor Shadow War / 40K campaign that I am running with Bob. I just need to paint some of the magnetized weapons and possibly the 3rd Recon Drone. I have 3 of the Pathfinders magnetized with two Rail Rifles, a Pulse Pistol, Pulse Carbine, and an Ion Rifle. I also have 2 Recon Drones painted and one assembled in case I want to go with all Recon Drones. I am still debating whether to use the Pulse Accelerator Drone though. To the right are the Special Operatives: Ethereal, Cadre Fireblade, and an XV25 Stealth Suit.

New Shadow War / 40K Campaign Test Run

My idea for the next campaign is to combine Shadow War: Armageddon games with Warhammer 40K games. The campaign will be based on Espandor in the realm of Ultramar. This is in the far Eastern reaches of Ultramar and is near the Konor system where there was a massive battle between the forces of Chaos and the Imperium.

Each player will play one race/faction for both their Shadow War and 40K games. For example, the Dark Angles will put together a team of Space Marine Scouts for their Shadow War special reconn/special forces team, while they use their other models for their regular 40K games. This means that a player cannot play Harlequins for Shadow War an then play Tau for their 40K games.

The 40K portion of the campaign will be an escalating campaign starting with a Combat Patrol Detachment for mission 1. The army construction rules will be the same as the Renegade Mission Packet 1.0.4 except that we will start with 500 points.

Tonight I need to look through the SW:A missions and the 40K missions in the BRB. I also have plenty of the psuedo-narrative missions from the Burning Dawn/Shadow Force Solaq/Battle for MacCragge Supplements.
