Never Send a Boy to do a Mantis' Job: Mantis Warriors vs Alpha Legion

In a break from our regularly-scheduled campaign - the Alpha Legion are at it again!

Warhammer 40k battle report - Maelstrom of War -  Schemes of War - 1250 points - Alpha Legion vs Mantis Warriors

Hallowed Imperial relics have been discovered in the shattered remains of an ancient fortress. Early winter frosts have isolated the dig site, but as the Mantis Warriors move to secure the relics for their chapter, they discover a sinister truth. 

Could the relics have been placed there deliberately, as bait for a trap?

Skypehammer Round 11: Skypromunda


The death toll on Averment is rising! As the campaign surges towards its final moments, the Planetary Governor has issued a lockdown in the main Hive City. While the Space Wolves and Guard muster outside, determined to sell their lives dear, the Cabal's forces gather in force without the walls, brazenly displaying their overwhelming numbers. 

But one of their generals is away this week, so in an unexpected twist, we're playing Necromunda instead!
