Two armchair-strategist guys got relocated to an unimportant backwater planet so the higher-ups could avoid embarrassment, and all they had at their disposal was a bunch of ancient robot tanks -- in BattleTech all the glory is held by the anthropomorphic mechs, so this effectively quashes any promotions or decorations they might have wanted. So, they spend their copious free time playing out conflicts with one another under various scenarios. Then, one day years later, the planet actually gets invaded because the enemy gets intelligence that it's only got a force of some ancient robot tanks. When they land their shiny new mechs and hover vehicles, they get an incredibly unwelcome surprise, as the two guys in charge have been playing out war scenarios so long, they know every capability of their own vehicles and have a perfect knowledge of the tactical potential of the terrain.The Malumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971459955701026406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958522416503442248.post-33174805462485711562021-02-22T20:23:53.357-07:002021-02-22T20:23:53.357-07:00Part of me has always wanted to run an IG armoured...Part of me has always wanted to run an IG armoured regiment, where as close to 100% of my army as possible enters play in a big metal box.<br /><br />Unfortunately I didn't do minis as a kid or anything, so I don't have a supply of old kits to use. I'd have to buy everything from scratch, and even if I used third-party (which I'm totally ok with) it would be quite expensive to put together.Norn's Dominionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802928625469063307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958522416503442248.post-27382969713747969252020-12-16T17:07:30.976-07:002020-12-16T17:07:30.976-07:00Damn, you have a lot of 40K crap (by which I mean ...Damn, you have a lot of 40K crap (by which I mean treasure).<br /><br />Loved the story.Lonely Adventurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972235096626678516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958522416503442248.post-12360497198260016812020-12-05T21:22:11.384-07:002020-12-05T21:22:11.384-07:00There's no time like the present, I suppose.There's no time like the present, I suppose.Skerpleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06393779599461560431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958522416503442248.post-6171117647935167892020-12-04T12:57:49.619-07:002020-12-04T12:57:49.619-07:00Dammit..... this makes me want to get back into WH...Dammit..... this makes me want to get back into WH40K. I used to have a TON of old Rogue Trader era oddball marines and plastic marines, and I had a buddy who was big into Marines, but when his girlfriend left him, he ended up selling it all to me for a song. Over time, I got rid of it all.... and REGRET IT TERRIBLY.

I'm planning on running a series of Select-Thy-Own-Disaster stories on Patreon that tie into an in-person 40k campaign, all set on Moribundus Prime and Pendall Station. <br /><br />I wouldn't do all that foreshadowing for nothing. :DSkerpleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06393779599461560431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958522416503442248.post-4916193368996658482020-12-02T22:30:01.590-07:002020-12-02T22:30:01.590-07:00Loved the starting story, loved seeing the vast ar...Loved the starting story, loved seeing the vast array of vehicles and misfits.

This knowledge also buttresses the belief that 40k rules DO make sense if only the battle is big enough, and the armies as perfect as this. The cold yellow turrets of those landbattleships are a stirring success.Evan Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951417464125973886noreply@blogger.com
