PastelAvenger Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hey guys & gals So I have been chatting to a couple of my friends (yes I have some) and we were thinking of writing a campaign for the Battle of Ullanor. It will have a bit of a twist as we will use Legions that we own instead of the ones that speciffically took part in the war. I've been writting a couple of rules for the Orks and Space Marines and was wondering if you could help develop these further? It's always best to get a second opinion. This is designed to be a huge battle but still using the standard FOC for each army. Scoring troops will be as described in the Age of Darkness FOC. Orks *The Ullanor Horde is to be made up of individual 2000pt hordes that must be lead by a Warboss using the standard FOC as described in the Ork 7th edition codex. *Each Ork player must be in control of at least one 2000pt horde, multiple hordes can be taken. To represent the vastness of the Ullanor Horde for every Space Marine Legion represented there must be 2 Ork hordes of 2000pts *Relics are not allowed for the purpose of this campaign *Warboss Urk must be taken as a LoW (going to use Gazghul Thrakka's rules at the moment) The Endless Horde *Everytime an Ork unit is destroyed at the start of the following players turn on a roll of a 3+ they may enter as from reserves, this will be from designated access points in the Ork owning players board half, this can only happen if these objectives are secured by a scoring Ork unit and are currently not being contested. If the Warlord of the Ork horde securing unit is slain they may not roll for The Endless Horde reserves to represent disarray in the ranks. If the Warlord is slain units from that army list can not come back via The Endless Horde rule. Ork VP conditions For evey Space Marine unit slain it will confer 1 VP For every Space Marine Primarch slain it will confer 5 VPs For every Space Marine LoW destroyed it confers 2 VPs At the end of turn 6 for every board quadrant (the board will be split into 6) occupied by an Ork unit they will recieve 1 VP Space Marine *All space Marine Legions must use The Age of Darkness FOC *The Maximum points cost for each Legion is 3000pts *Space Marine Legions may take a secondary LoW as long as onethe first LoW is the Primarch for that Legion Space Marine VP conditions *Every Ork "The Endless Horde" objective not secured by an Ork player at the end of the full game turn confers 1 VP *Every Ork "The Endless Horde" objective Secured by a Space Marine Legion (If 2 seperate Legions secure an objective = 2VPs) *Every Ork LoW destoyed confers 2 VPs *Every Warboss killed in a duel confers 2 VPs *If Warboss Urk is killed in duel confers 5 VPs Thoughts comments all are welcome :-) Like This Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318644-battle-of-ullanor-campaign/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Looks fun! Don't forget the Emperor was there and almost killed by an orc no less. The Emperor's stats should be 10 for everything, 2++, and his sword S:D ;D Then you need a suitably beastly ork to fight him!

Liquid_O Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hey this sounds really cool! A while back on the Eye of Horus Podcast they had a couple guys send in some rule changes to represent 30k orks. Check em out, they actually look pretty good. https://ia601501.us.archive.org/25/items/20151023Ork30kSupplementV.21/2015-10-23%20Ork%2030k%20supplement%20V.2%20(1).pdf Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318644-battle-of-ullanor-campaign/#findComment-4287898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to note that the Emperor will not be making an appearance and he certainly w won't have 10s for every stat he's good but not that good Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318644-battle-of-ullanor-campaign/#findComment-4287980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'd say if you get rid of our respawn rules, but put in those ones from the podcast, that will make it pretty Damn fair.

noigrim Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 If you don't have the specific legions it's impossible to make an Ullanor campaign, just make a custom campaign of your own located anywhere else Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318644-battle-of-ullanor-campaign/#findComment-4288145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viridia Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 If you don't have the specific legions it's impossible to make an Ullanor campaign, just make a custom campaign of your own located anywhere else By that logic I can't take part in a refight of the Dropsite Massacre because my Imperial Fists weren't there. Hmm. It's almost like a doctor's prescription, not a game then.

Chronotonic Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Everyone is over thinking this Step back and count how many models makeup a 1500 list heck a 2500 point list At the most maybe 100 models tanks included. Do you think that a strike cruiser from one of the other legions was in the area and helped with one of the biggest battles in the imperiums history I do not see why you can't just use your legion rules and not really change anything from the campaign Same for the dropsite 200 imperial fist while a large army in 40k ain't nothing but a small detachment in 30k Are they really going to count 200 imperial fist in the 3 dead legions No Might get a footnote at best And still does not hangs anything Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318644-battle-of-ullanor-campaign/#findComment-4288225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesh Kadesh Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 We have done something similar last year in the run up to Calth, where an Ork horde was engaged by forces of half a dozen legions. Each Ork unit when destroyed came on from ongoing reserves automatically, and it was down to how long the astartes lasted before being overwhelmed, with VP's earned by the Astartes player gaining them off field assets, such as Thunderhawk Attack runs, Artillery bombardments from long range things like Quake Cannons, or Earthshakers, to even a Vortex Missile. Other games that went on in the background, we houseruled would have an effect dependent on a winner to the extent that a Zone Mortalis mission allowed the winners to join the fight with a Thunderhawk dropping them off before going on, while an Imperial guard company secured an cityfight location whuch provided a concealed location to launch artillery barrages (gave us 3d3 free basilisk shots and a manticore strike, while another had a Daemons win on Kill team vs AM, which meant that certain assets and VP's were lost.

Hesh Kadesh Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm away with work from my club for a few weeks, but will dig out the brief when i get back to the club. It was part of a drunken night out tbh, and on the literal back of a beer coaster.
