CyderPirate Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Fear not brothers, Ferrus Lives! Played an apocalypse game of Istvaan 5 this weekend, pics below. Renegades were mainly made up of world eaters, but had a fair few sons of horus/black legion and EC, barely any DG. Iron Hands (ME!) are in the middle, Salamanders on one side, RG on the other. When the traitors turn up, the models behind the salamanders are AL, and IW, with Word Bearers (painted) and the night lords on the end. We awarded victory points for each kill, each model making it off the table (for the loyalists) and a bonus 2 for each 1,000pts a force is under the army with the most. RG turned up with 12.5k, whilst WE had around 8 - so WE started off with 8VPs, whilst RG started with none. We then had tallied up the places at the end - last place lost their primarch suffers -250pts for next battle, -100 for rest of campaign, 2nd went missing -1 LD for rest of campaign etc etc. The end result was that Mortarion died - slain by Vulkan, whilst the NLs took a mauling with Curze disappearing. So Ferrus lives for now, and will have to face off against Fulgrim later. But my character did manage to take knock the last wound off of Lucious, who by that stage was T5 and had Eternal Warrior. Anyway, pics! http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00666_zps5800abc2.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00667_zps2bddf65a.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00668_zps625d3655.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00669_zpsab7290f4.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00670_zps20f1e0fc.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00671_zps6df2adb8.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00672_zpsbcd6f764.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00673_zps97102dab.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00674_zps058e12aa.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00675_zpsa6567126.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00676_zps7cef4ccf.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00677_zps4aff5a38.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00678_zpsd46ce5ce.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00679_zpsd41511a4.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00680_zpsbf597457.jpg http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u449/CyderPirate/DSC00681_zps84d1b853.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263916-istvaan-v-apocalypse-game/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Looks like you had some fun, brother. It also looks like that took quite some time to play. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263916-istvaan-v-apocalypse-game/#findComment-3215082 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 how did you have stat lines for un-released primarchs? It was probably homebrewed. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263916-istvaan-v-apocalypse-game/#findComment-3215303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 how did you have stat lines for un-released primarchs? It was probably homebrewed. I figured that, and am both interested and leery of homebrewed rules.

blackoption Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I am also curious for those stats. Are you going to redo the battle when the second book comes out?

CyderPirate Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Sorry, that wasn't clear. We didn't field any primarchs, but had the historical outcomes lined up, determined by VPs. So last place would lose their Primarch, second last would have a disadvantage and their primarch would go missing, third last would have some severe disadvantages for the campaign...etc etc. The way it turned out though, the DG came last rather than the IH - so Mortarion died instead of Ferrus - NL came second last, so Curze is missing rather than Vulkan. The Salamanders did best out of the loyalists, and were responsible for giving the DG such a whipping, so we said that the Fulgrim/Ferrus duel was replaced by Vulkan/Mortarion. The game took about 7-8 hours to play out, and we got to turn 4. We might well replay it when the book comes out. By that time we should be at the siege of terra, though so it'll probably get back-burnered.
