Lore

The Host - Body of the Forgotten

The Forgotten are veterans of thousands of years of war. Initmately familiar with all forms of battle, from daring void-raids to full-throated open warfare, to the long, slow stalk of assassination. Each Astartes was forged in the fires of the Heresy against the Warmaster and tempered in the Long War against the Imperium. Their foes have been found wanting and the Forgotten will show them the errors of laxity.    Chosen squad Urial   Chosen squad Neferus Blade to bone Swords

Phase 3 - Game 3

Xaphan grinned under his silver skull-helm. This was a foe worth destroying- the fanatical attack dogs of the damned Ecclesiarchy, Sisters of Battle. Their base was filled with statues to the Corpse-God, singing Novitiates praising His name. Xaphan's voice was raised in his infamous castigations, calling his brothers to war. They were unprepared for the Forgotten's speed and hatred. Again Xaphan lead his warband into the heart of the enemy, destroying both Novitiates and Battl Sisters alike.

Phase 3 - Game 2

The Aeldari were holding a line, defending a section of city for their own inscrutable reasons. Squads of Striking Scorpions prowled the flanks while Eldrad, Guardians, the Void Reapers, and Wraithguards were spread out among the centerline. It mattered not to the Forgotten. Not the Xenos' defensive plans, their witcheries, or their vaunted battle skills. Galgaliem bikers formed the Fallen vanguard, capturing breachpoints and holding them while Rhinos transported reinforcing Legionaries. Havo

Steel and Fire - The Armored Might of the Forgotten

He of the Host of Iron of Old Terra, Marshal of the Ironwing, Seneschal  of the Order of Ruptured Paths, and now named Tech-smith of the Forgotten. Dar-kun sees to the wounds of the steel beasts that bring his brothers to battle, to the behemoths of war that unleash burning hell. For countless years has this Tech-smith labored to keep his charges running and fighting, welding armor to wounds and shoring up failing engines in the heat of battle. His hammer drips with the blood of the hated Imperi

Phase 3 - Game 1

The Forgotten were under attack, taken by surprise. Scores of squat power-armored bodies moved in disciplined ranks against the Fallen. Bulbous wheeled transports filled the air with fire as crackling teleporters brought even heavier-armored squads into the Angels' back lines. Xaphan and his men did not buckle under the pressure, driving the invading "Kin" back and showing them the power of eons of hate. It was too little though, as the stubby Abhumans managed to find the whatever it was their g

Phase 2 - Game 4

Xaphan lead his Forgotten against the Night Lords, seeking to punish the masters of terror for their ambition and lack of discipline. For the Night Lords terror itself was a goal, thriving on the horrified cries of the enemy and civilians rather than focusing on strategic objectives. The Warmaster and the Forgotten's Grand Master had given the warbands specific goals for the campaign and Xaphan was determined to achieve them. The warlord known as Resk of the Midnight Claw would have to be shown

Phase 2 - Game 2 (Ouch...)

Opponent - Space Marines (Vanguard) Mission - Strategic Strike   No pictures or real report for this battle, it was a major drubbing. Xaphan and Chosen shot up in the first turn (forgot how many weapons a Repulsor has), Dark Pacts failed for pretty much everything turn 1/2 (managed to half-kill my Predator with two max mortal fails), but my Raptors and bikes did do their Agenda actions so at least I went out sort of on top...   Forgotten lose the battle, 13-5 (Forgotten

The Galgaliem and the Harbonah- Point of the Sword and Knife in the Back

Galgaliem Hunter Cadres They ride machine-steeds of onyx and steel. They are swift and terrible, quickly sending bolts and melta blasts into the face of the enemy before slamming home with chainswords roaring. They are the Galgaliem, the prideful hunters and scouts of the Forgotten.    Long have they ridden their motorcycles, experienced bodies as one with the thundering mounts. They are the heirs to the old knights of Dead Caliban, to the nomadic warriors of Old Terra. It is thei

Phase 1 - The outline

This is a quick outline of what happened during Phase 1 of the campaign. Pics are there, but not great (apologies, I am terrible), and this is more of a stream of concious/AAR that I did for the campaign rather than anything really organized or story-like. I will work on some sort of in-character updates later.     Phase 1 Special campaign rules - Started off at 1k points games, increasing by 250 every two games. Start off with 6XP given to a single character (Xaphan took all

The Nuts and Bolts- the Crusade list and general gameplan

A quick look at my Forgotten Crusade force. As of now (4/21) we are in our fourth week of Phase 1 of the Nachmund Campaign, about to go to Phase 2, each phase being four weeks. I don't intend to add anything to this force, as we are doing a growing-style crusade with increasing points limits (1k/1k/1.25/1.25/1.5/1.5, etc..) going up to 2k for the start of phase 3. Unless something changes and we go beyond the 2k, I think I'm good at where I'm at, but you never know...   Total Crusade S

The Suriel - Oathsworn Terminators of the Forgotten

"They came in a shattering impact. Thunder and lightning rang from the center of our camp. All was quiet for a moment as we turned and saw a crackling dome of light fade into the air. From that dome came no sound, then the terrible roar of bolters.    The bolts slammed into men near me, turning them into mere memories of living beings. Limbs sprang from torsos, heads disappeared. The firepower was well targeted in taking down our heavy weapons first, then moving on to the company banne

The Head of the Beast - the leaders of the Forgotten

Xaphan the Castigator, Dark Apostle "Never forget our dead. Never forget the betrayals against us. We are Forgotten, those who will remind this stagnant Imperium that the past is not dead and buried, but alive and hating."   Xaphan is the core of the current Forgotten warband. Charged by Grand Master Beleth to disturb the Nachmund Gauntlet, Xaphan is on a mission to destroy Imperial faith and morale. He believes that the Forgotten, in conjunction with the mercenary Night Lords and

The Start- My hobby journey, how the Forgotten came to be, and a new beginning

Hello and thank you for looking at this little blog. It will be about my Forgotten, a Heresy-era Dark Angels force that has taken a bit of a journey to become what it now is- a Chaos Marine force in a local Nachmund Gauntlet Crusade campaign. This first entry is most likely to be the most boring, with no pics or lore or gameplay, just a winding story of how the force came to be. So, if you aren't interested in the self-indulgent personal history digression of a middle-aged hobbyist, feel free to
