corai Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 This is already up in the events section but I thought any heresy fans who don't frequent there might get a kick out of the pictorial review of the recent Horus Heresy Campaign weekend I ran. Friday started with the different sections of Portcullis being represented by themed boards. Castrum Hive is a choked tangle of narrow streets and monolithic buildings. As the PDF forces resisted the traitors pacification of the Fortress World, many of the outlying sections of the great Hab-Hive were ruined, although the defence bastions of the inner hive remained largely intact. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9546_zpsc2zzo7wh.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9548_zpsamzvj7tu.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9547_zpszlh3uhm8.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9549_zpsb2g5yqmn.jpg On the outskirts of Castrum, vast Ash Wastes stretch as far as the eye can see. On the borders of the great Hive itself, a shanty town has sprung up, sheltered in the shadow of the titanic Hive City but still outside of the strict laws which govern it. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9545_zpsog1petft.jpg Ringing the equatorial region of the Fortress World are a series of volcanic islands. Beneath each stretch miles of tunnels and machinery which houses the Atmospheric Generators responsible for pumping breathable air around Portcullis. From the surface, the only evidence these ancient machines exist is a number of chimneys which are used to vent the life giving gas. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9551_zps3tvs1ybc.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9550_zpspqa2eyc9.jpg Finally, above the Iron Bulwark of Portcullis drifted the titanic star fort, The Celestium Mundis, itself a relic of the Dark Age of Technology http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9553_zpsmomcxbvj.jpg Friday’s gaming was a series of small Strike Force level games between the traitors and loyalists which culminated with a four way battle aboard the Celestium Mundis http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9554_zpswqvhequq.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9555_zpsqw3p9snx.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9573_zps6hdzpkvl.jpg When the dust settled, only a single Castellax remained, with one wound remaining! http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9578_zpsyydden2f.jpg Saturday and Sunday saw the bulk of the fighting as the Loyalists gradually pushed the traitors from their defensive positions before securing the Fortress World for the Imperium once again! http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9581_zpsabetbohv.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9589_zpsjv1p1xsq.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9616_zps07s9eyuz.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9661_zpsool5vwxf.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9639_zpst9wrxaxw.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9619_zpsfoeijshe.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9642_zpsioytewbi.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9697_zpsckt3dn1g.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9688_zpsqbeeeoz2.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9691_zpsl0vi9avh.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IMG_9633_zpsaxpzuhjk.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307139-the-gates-of-terra-i-the-portcullis-incident/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkimaskMohawk Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Awesome looking armies. One suggestion for city fight type terrain is to turn everything on a 45 degree angle; this helps cut down on immediate fire lanes and makes for a more tactical experience Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307139-the-gates-of-terra-i-the-portcullis-incident/#findComment-4031261 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo13 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 That's too funny. You were an inspirational thread for my fists. I used the same style of yellow. http://i.imgur.com/l6tUEMy.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307139-the-gates-of-terra-i-the-portcullis-incident/#findComment-4038710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
