Battle of Guran Plains, Subjugation of Margoth

Epistolary Carrick stood on the hill overlooking the plains below.  He allowed himself a smile, looking over the forces of Hive Fleet Tartarus.  It wasn't the first time that they would meet.  On Addassartus and on Gunron, Tartarus and Angelus Mortis had clashed hard and fast.  He had been a part of both campaigns, and this one would be no different.  He looked to the sergeant standing nearby.

"Sergeant Yarro, assemble your terminator squad and follow me.  Sgt Estar, place half your squad at the back of the field, and take the other half with the razorback and surge forward.  Sgt King, take your assault squad with the Redeemer and ram it straight into the enemy lines," Carrick ordered.  "Drive the enemy back to their damned tendril and back into the deep dark of space!"

Subjugation of Margoth, Day 1

Four of us gathered at my house to begin this campaign.  My brother in law Michael, his girlfriend Becky, and my other brother in law Nick all sat to begin this.  Michael plays space marines and chose Chief Librarian Tigurius (renamed Joe) as his commander.  Becky, playing Orks, chose a Warboss (Warboss Waaaagh) as her commander.  Nick, playing as the Tyranids, chose a hive tyrant as his first commander.  He would later switch it to a Tyranid Prime named Hades.  I chose an Epistolary, Epistolary Carrick, in full terminator armor and carrying a storm shield as my commander.

The map was set up so that each person would have a spaceport and six surrounding territories with a single territory splitting each of the four areas.  Several buildings were randomly placed, and we all rolled off to determine who picked which spaceport.  After the stage was set, we all declared our attacked and played them out.

Subjugation of Margoth, The Prologue

Margoth, an insignificant planet on the fringe of the galaxy.  Recently colonized by the Auretians with the help of the Angelus Mortis, it is a planet rich with minerals.  Nothing spectacular except for the secret projects occurring on its surface.  An Ork Warboss beaten into submission is held prisoner there, and the Auretians are looking for a way to subjugate these vicious beasts to their will.
