TO NEW WORLD!

Well, my local gaming store, Interior RC, has recently started a Warhammer 40K campaign. Map-Based, set on the imaginatively named New World.

In conflict for control of this planet are the Noble Space Wolves! The Misguided Tau Xeno's! The Immortal Legion (A splinter faction of the Imperial Guard. Probably Heretical), and The Hellsing Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes (Who we reckon are probably all right, now that we have taught them to stay out of our way)

In the first few days after planetfall, The Immortal Legion and the Hellsing Chapter went after the Tau forces, however miscommunications resulted in conflict between the Space Wolves and the Hellsing Marines, who never reached their intended foes.

In the end, the two Space Marine Forces dealt a fair deal of damage to each other. A number of Astartes were injured badly enough that they would take no further part in the campaign. The Space Wolves came out somewhat ahead, in the final scheme of things. Meanwhile, the Immortal Legion devastated the Tau forces, but because of the ease of reinforcement for the Tau, their effective casualties were rather light.

Further updates on the campaign will be available as news is made available. Watch out for the Space Wolves attempting Sneaky Tricks...
