The 6th Edition War.
The 6th
Edition War has raged for over one year. The bitterness and spite of the Chaos
forces has fuelled their hatred and powered their bloodlust! Though the forces
of the galaxy resist Chaos’ advance, what was once a Chaos Space Marine raiding
force has grown to include Daemon incursions and strange alliances. Legends are
born and the Galaxy quakes in fear.
[This is a list of my battles and
includes the result with a narrative synopsis]
2013
Feb 9: Raxxil’s Landing
Khorne Lord Raxxil defeats an Eldar force with Dark Eldar allies.
The first battle for 6th Edition takes place as Raxxil Blood Drinker, Lord of Khorne, led a small raiding war band against an Eldar enclave on planet Illic’Kor. The Eldar with the help of a small contingent of Dark Eldar allies raised the Avatar of Khaine in an attempt to stop the rampaging Raxxil on his Juggernaut. But it was to no avail. After plundering the archives Raxxil disappears into deep space.
April 6: Namtar Arrives
Namtar Plague Rider leads a small force to victory against a Dark Angels outpost.
The Galaxy gets its first look at Namtar as he sweeps in on his bike and defeats a small Dark Angels force. The Dark Angels, led by a rookie commander in his first engagement as commander, puts up a good fight but it does no good. Little did the Imperium know but this was not to be the last time they were to encounter Namtar.
May 5: Darkness falls on Pyrin 4
Namtar Plague Rider joins forces with Tyranids and they are defeated by Dark Angels and Space Wolves.
Namtar manages to join forces with a small Tyranid host. The Imperium, shocked by the potential danger this poses, sends all available units to planet Pyrin 4 to put a stop to it as soon as possible. The Imperial opposition arrives in the form of both Dark Angels and Space Wolves who are able to put their differences aside and defeat the enemy. It was only the second battle led by the Space Wolf commander who won great praise for his efforts. It is still unknown how Namtar managed this unholy union. The Imperium dispatches several inquisitors to hunt Namtar down.
June 7: The Undeath Encounter
Namtar Plague Rider joins forces with Necrons and defeats the Blood Angel and Space Wolf army.
Namtar reappears on Pyrin 4 with a host of Necrons. This time, however, the Imperium is prepared and Namtar and his ally are met by a joint Space Wolves and a Blood Angel army (sent to replace the Dark Angels to keep the peace). What the Imperium doesn't expect is the addition of a Helldrake and Defiler to Namtar’s warband, and the combined strength of the Chaos and Necron force proves too much. The Space Marines are forced to retreat.
June 24: Battle for Pyrin 4
Namtar Plague Rider allied with Skaven Chaos Marines and Orks are defeated by a combined Space Marine army.
The Imperium send a large Space Marine host to join the Blood Angels and Space Wolves to end Namtar’s threat but find that he has reinforced his position with another Chaos Space Marine warband and some local Orks. This new Chaos warband is dubbed the ‘Skaven Chaos Marines’ as chaos has mutated all their members to have rat heads. After the surprise arrival of the mysterious Legion of the Dammed the Imperial forces win the battle and Namtar is forced to fall back. However, Mephiston is badly wounded and carried from the battlefield after receiving a plasma pistol shot when he attempted to assault one of Namtar’s Havoc champions.
August 23: Battle for Pyrin 4 continues
Abaddon joins the battle with the Skaven Chaos Marines and they defeat the combined Space Marines
Abaddon arrives on Pyrin 4 to support Namtar and the Skaven Chaos Marines and they defeat the combined Space Marine army. After the battle all the Chaos forces leave the decimated plant.
September 27: The Battle For Snotrot Supply Depot Begins
A Daemon incursion destroys the Ork defenders of Snotrot Supply Depot.
An Ork weird boy, accused of being ‘less Ork’ than his battle brothers, attempts to prove his power by transforming himself into a giant Ork. He instead turns into Ku’Gurogh the Odious, a Great Unclean One, and opens a warp rift for the Daemon incursion to begin. The infamous Snotrot Burna Boyz make their appearance but the agile Daemons simply keep out of range of their flames. As the second Soul Grinder warps in the Orks are overwhelmed and are crushed. The Warboss and most of the Orks are dead but the cunning Snickrot escapes.
October 5: Snotrot Supply Depot 2nd Incursion
Daemons are defeated by an Ork counterattack.
The Orks quickly gather their forces and counter attack. With diminished Ork numbers they rely heavily on Gretchen which proves to be very successful, despite the fact that the Snotrot Burna Boyz fail to get into range once again. The Daemons are smashed and forced to retreat. Ku’Gurogh was not present and the rift remains open.
November 2: Typhus Ambush
Typhus CSM with Daemon Allies defeats Dark Angels.
Typhus lays a trap by leaking to the Imperium that Namtar is back on Pyrin 4, believing the ruse will draw a smaller force than if they know it’s actually him. The Imperium respond immediately and send Belial with a Deathwing detachment. Believing they have Namtar they are surprised by not only Typhus and his Destroyer Plague Zombies, but also the dreaded greater daemon Skarbrand! Realising their error, Belial desperately tries to recover an ancient relic while holding off the zombie hordes. But the hordes prove unstoppable and Skarbrand, strangely fighting alongside a band of Daemonettes, cuts the Deathwing down. In a crushing defeat Belial is badly wounded and the Imperial troops that remain are forced to retreat. When the Dark Angels return in strength Typhus is no longer there.
November 21: Patrol Clash
Two small patrols of Slaanesh Space Marines clash, Namtar’s patrol is victorious.
An Imperial inquisitor finds evidence of an encounter between 2 small patrols of Slaanesh Marines on a remote planet in the outer rim, one belonging to Namtar’s warband and the other Skaven Chaos Marines. It appears that Namtar’s patrol was victorious but it remains unknown why they battled or where they went. The inquisitor is hopeful that a schism has opened between the two warbands.
November 29: SnotrotSupply Depot 3rd Incursion [Battle Reports begin here]
Daemons and Orks are in a deadlock over Snotrot.
Not long after the Orks defeat the Daemons the warp fiends are back. This time a pair of Daemon Princes of Tzeentch lead a shambling host of Plaguebearers. However, there is still no sign of Ku’Gurogh and the origin of the rift. The battle rages long and hard, with fortunes shifting from one side to the other. Eventually both sides decided to consolidate their position to continue the battle another time. It is the first deadlock of The 6th Edition War. Once again, the infamous Snotrot Burna Boyz failed to kill anything; running away after Tzeentch sorcery is used on them.
Daemons defeat Orks in a close battle to take control of the supply depot.
This time Kairos Fateweaver, the dreaded Greater Daemon of Tzeentch, appears at the besieged supply depot along with a large contingent of Flesh Houds of Khorne. Despite the Ork’s uncanny ability to resist Fateweaver’s spells the Daemons manage to overpower them in a close contest to win Snotrot. This time, the Snotrot Burna Boyz demonstrated their infamy flaming a dozen Daemonettes.
2014
January 11: The Unusual Alliance
Daemon and Ork force is defeated by Eldar, Dark Angels and Skaven Chaos Marines (Unusual Alliance).
After so much fighting between the Daemons and Orks, the Eldar took notice. Somehow, they were able to forge an alliance with not just the Dark Angels, but also the Skaven Chaos Marines – possibly connected to the Patrol Clash incident and a falling out with Namtar. With their arrival, Fateweaver is able to gain support from the Orks of Snotrot and the two armies meet the enemy just outside the depot. The Daemons and Orks attempt to force the enemy off the planet but the unusual Alliance digs in and easily repels the attack. Fateweaver’s corporeal form is destroyed in the fighting and he is sent back to the warp. However, the Daemons and Orks are able to keep the Unusual Alliance from advancing on Snotrot.
January 17: An unexpected discovery at Snotrot
Namtar Plaguerider arrives at Snotrot and with Daemon allies and defeats a Necron force.
Namtar’s raiding fleet arrives at Snotrot Supply Depot to collect valuable supplies after forging an alliance with Ku’Kurogh The Odious. Believing the landing site secure the CSM detachment arrives to collect their booty when they are surprised by a contingent of Necrons! A small party of Daemons left to liaise with the CSM quickly joins with their battle brothers and the combined force drives the Necrons back. It is the first sighting of Screamers of Tzeentch in the sector; a worrying sign of Daemonic escalation.
February 28: The battle beyond Snotrot
Ku’Gurogh The Odious returns and defeats a Necron Force on the outskirts of Snotrot.
With the imminent threat of escalating numbers of Necrons, and with the Eldar and Space Maines attempting to take the depot, Namtar finishes up collecting the precious cargo and makes a hasty retreat. However, the Daemon rift remains and new Daemons surge forward to support the fight against the enemy. They only make it as far as the Ork’s outer defenses before they run into another Necron force. With the earlier defeat of Fateweaver, Ku’Gurogh leads the army to a brutal victory against the Necrons.
April 5: The Battle For Computer Terminal DX101
2 Daemons forces combine with the Orks to drive back the Eldar, Dark Angels and Space Wolves.
After the ‘Unusual Alliance’ drove the Daemon and Ork Alliance back, the Skaven Chaos Marines and Dark Angels quickly turned on each other. With support from the Eldar and a reinforcing Space Wolf contingent (much to the displeasure of the Dark Angels) the Skaven Chaos Marines put up a small fight and leave. No one is quite sure why they don’t fight harder, perhaps they found something they were looking for… The Eldar insist that the Daemon incursion is being triggered by Ku'Gurogh the Odious and the whole sector requires cleansing, rather than just the planet. The first step is to recover computer data on the sector providing up-to-date strategic information, something the Imperium and Eldar are lacking on this forgotten part of space. The only problem is when they arrived they find it is under the control of the Daemons and Orks; who are waiting for them. Despite their best efforts the Eldar and Space Marines are unable to reach the computer terminal and after suffering heavy losses are forced to retreat.
April 11: The Green Tide
Daemons with CSM allies clash with the Ork, with neither side gaining ground
With the fall of Snotrot and presence of so many enemies, the power vacuum and opportunity for a good fight is too strong for the Orks to resist. Vast numbers of Nobz flood into the area with their armies; all fighting for control over the territory and for the right to lead the green skins against the interlopers. While many formidable Nobz battled for supremacy, a lone Ork arrives on the scene shrouded in a cloud of black smoke from his rumbling steed; the mighty Warboss Snagratz Beast Ripper has arrived. With a thunderous raw of his engines Snagratz crashes into the dominant Nob and pops his head like a boil with his massive power klaw. Once in control he quickly realises that with the masses of angry Nobz and a sea of Orks all itching to smash face, he will have to point them towards an enemy and give them a good fight or his army will quickly implode. As much fun as that sounded, Snagratz figured that these strange creatures of half reality would be even more fun to kill. Meanwhile Namtar has dispatched a small fire support squad to return to Snotrot to liaise with Ku’Gurogh who had resurfaced after Fateweaver was defeated. Lord Szorin was sent with his honour guard of Sonic Marines and a Havoc squad to help bolster defenses against the Imperium and Eldar, and coordinate movements between Namtar and Ku’Gurogh. However, they would have to deal with their new Ork allies first.
The two sides clash in a brutal deadlocked battle
that sees many casualties on both sides.
