Inspirational Friday 2016: Desert Warfare (until 9/8)

[Kierdale]

Inspirational Friday: Desert Warfare

For those who do not know it, Inspiration Friday is a (generally) fortnightly weekly event within its home in the Chaos Space Marines forum, in which a topic is set for members to write short (or long if the muse takes you) fluff/fan-fic pieces about their war bands, characters and models.

And here begins our sixteenth challenge of Inspirational Friday 2017:

Desert Warfare

Back in October last year we got wet with Inspirational Friday: Aquatic Combat and the heat of summer (for those of us in the northern hemisphere at least) now brings us to Inspirational Friday: Desert Warfare, where the elements can sometimes be more dangerous than the actual enemy. Inhospitable terrain, low humidity, the importance of mobility, a lack of cover and wild-life in addition to extremes of temperature make the desert a truly punishing warzone.

Be it a siege of an oasis fortress, an ambush of a supply convoy, the hunt for an elusive foe or an all-out clash upon the sand, tell us this time a tale of desert warfare.

I invite armies from all the factions of 40k to submit entries, with the condition that - protagonists or antagonists - at least one of the sides must be Chaos.

So slap on some sun lotion, oil your weapons well, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate, leave your map at home ‘cause it all looks the same, and get ready for Inspirational Friday: Desert Warfare!

Inspirational Friday: Desert Warfare runs until the 8th of September.

Let us be inspired.

And to whomever wins IF: Desert Warfare goes the Octed Amulet..

Why would a loyalist or Xenos want such a foul bauble? So the heretics don’t get their grubby claws on it!
