SD.Net Warmachine Campaign

GuppyShark · Post by **GuppyShark** » 2006-01-15 10:38am

In the tradition of threads like this I'm accepting interested parties for unit leader positions in an upcoming campaign of Warmachine.

I will be commanding the armed forces of the Protectorate of Menoth, the religious faction (think 40k IoM).

The undead Cryx, poncy Cygnar and brutal Khador stand against me. Can I count on you, loyal SDnet member, to aid me as I crush all opposition?

I look forward to bringing you news of the unfolding struggle as it occurs...

The detachments fielded:

High Exemplar Kreoss

Complete Detachment Army List

The High Exemplar takes to the field with a complement of Knights and 'vanilla' Warjacks. He will largely be taking to the field against the forces of King Leto of Cygnar.

Available Officers:

Exemplar Seneschal CDiehl

2 Exemplar Knight Warders (centre) (Lazarus& Pcm 9:79)

Holy Zealot Priest (foreground right)

2 Choir of Menoth Warpriests (Wee Mad Ando & Ford Prefect)

High Allegiant Amon Ad-Raza

Complete Detachment Army List

The High Allegiant accepts into his detachment those willing to endure great personal risks for the benefit of others. He stands between the invading armies of Khador and the safety of the Iron Kingdoms.

Available Officers:

Noble Ire, Paladin of the Order of the Wall

Deliverer Captain (Roan, 3rd from left)

Holy Zealot Warpriest (pictured above)

Choir of Menoth Warpriest (pictured above)

Feora, Priestess of the Flame

Complete Detachment Army List

Finally, Feora, who is tasked with cleansing the undead from the northernmost reaches - with flame! To this end she has been provided her Flameguard and some of the more expensive Warjacks.

2x Flameguard Captain (3rd from right)

Flameguard Cleanser Arms Master (Sylas Gaunt, 3rd from right)

You're asking Stardestroyer/Net members to join forces with the cause of religious fundamentalism?

You don't know us very well, do you?

There's an SD.Net U-boat... burning the Undead doesn't really compare.

what exactly is this game?

GuppyShark · Post by **GuppyShark** » 2006-01-15 10:13pm

It's a tabletop miniature game.

There - that should make things a LOT clearer.

I played Warmachine for about 4 weeks during the summer, in the last days of my battlegame playing before I packed it in in september, 2 years almost to the week since I started 40K. I'd really like to keep playing, but all the people I used to play gave up, or moved elsewhere and it just became monotonous, playing the same people over and over. I still love the 40K universe though. I started Warmachine after a new independent retailer opened near me, started by staff having jumped ship from the local GW, but I only ever bought the main game book and a Khador starter set, then realising that pretty much everyone played Khador.

What exactly do you mean by unit leader positions? Does that mean we get squad leaders named for us and stuff or what?

Well I play menoth, and I am an atheist. Being an atheist only makes sense if there is no evidence for a god, in the warmachine world there is.

I don't see it as much different than playing as a Jedi

That's it exactly, just like the thread examples I gave in the first few posts.

I've had some damned amusing battles recently, and the campaign is probably going to start next week.

Sign me up for Paladin of the Order of the Wall.

The abominations shall break upon my shield in dismay and wither at the taste of my blade.

I'll take Exemplar Seneschal.

Eh, bollocks. I was even thinking about nabbing the Order of the Wall. 'Course, I've no idea what this game is or how to play it, so perhaps it's just as well I stay out.

I'll take the War Priest.

I still have my tons of little plastic marines.....

name a beakie after and SDNer. (oh wait mine are Aztec)

Sounds good, can I be the Exemplar Knights captain?
Aww I wanted the order of the wall... If I remember the background rightly, the OOTW were like the only chivalrous knights left in Menoth, the rest were crazy ass loons. Ah well.
What, No Warjacks?!?! Interesting...
I always liked the Menoth Warjack with the two flags on the back, that one was cool.

GuppyShark · Post by **GuppyShark** » 2006-01-21 10:59pm

I figured people would want to be people, not magical automatons! You can be a Warjack if you insist, I guess.

Lazarus · Post by **Lazarus** » 2006-01-22 06:21am

If you have one of theose ones with the two flags on the back and the spear, I'll be that one, otherwise I wanna stick with the captain please

Best of luck, go cleanse some unbelievers!

I bagsy the other Exemplar Knight Warder. If my name's too... Odd, then there are alternatives. Inquire within, and such.

Campaign Update:

Had a preliminary battle last night, Feora's detachment versus Cryxian undead. Unfortunately...

Nobody has signed up for her detachment.
Nokia PC Suite isn't communicating through my USB so I can't upload the photos I took.

Game ended in Cryxian retreat.

How many points are you playing?

SylasGaunt · Post by **SylasGaunt** » 2006-02-03 12:12pm

I wouldn't mind seeing my SN stuck on the Cleanser armsmaster.

Ford Prefect · Post by **Ford Prefect** » 2006-02-03 06:02pm

I would like to apply for the position of Warpriest.

Varies at the whim of the attacker, it can be anywhere from 500 to 1000. The Detachments are 750 points as you can see from the roster lists (which may change over the course of the campaign, for example I'm thinking of taking the Guardian (which I'm happy to call the Lazarus, btw) and moving it into a different detachment. It's ability to make troops automatically rally seems redundant when Feora already does it for Flameguard units under her command.

I call deliverer captain.
