We had a good time with our last 30K campaign that we decided to delve into things a little deeper this time around.
We wanted to do a campaign where we could combine Titans, Space Marines and Spaceships. There were several options but with what we had it seemed like Paramar would be the best choice.
One of our guys is building Alpha Legion so we should be good on that. Then I have stuff for the Titans, both War Griffons and Tiger Eyes and another guy has more War Griffons, so we were covered there.
I have enough BFG stuff to do both sides of what was a rather small space battle.
So all that was left was the Iron Warriors, and they don't take long.
We are going to do four games.
The first is going to be BFG.
The second is going to be the Titanicus game.
The third is going to be the tank battle between the Alpha Legion and the Iron Warriors.
Then the final will be the assault on the moving maze defensive works at the heart of the Paramar base.
Each game will have an impact on the next. So the side that wins the space ship battle will have an advantage in the titanicus game, the winner of that will have an advantage in the tank battle and if the Alpha Legion get warriors to the base in the tank battle they will be able to use whatever they get off the table in the final siege.
I'm working on the Iron Warrior tanks right now.
That is all that is done so far.
Ultimately there are going to be three Sicarans. A squadron of two count as Elites and one as an HQ choice for this force.
This is one of the tanks from the squadron. This will be the squadron command tank.
Then this is the other one from that group. I still have the overall command tank to do. I still have to buy that.
The troops choices are made up of Predator tanks. I ultimately need three of those but I have two done so far.
The third will probably be similarly armed to one of those above. I'm not sure that the Volkite weapon is worth it for a tank battle and these are Iron Warriors so they are most concerned with bringing down fortifications.
But we'll see. The graviton and Volkite weapons do look pretty cool and once they pop those XXth Legion APCs the softer bits inside will need some killing too.
The Heavy Support choice was the first tank I did, which was the new Kratos.
I went with the battlecannon option so that they would have some choices about shooting at infantry as well as tanks with it. As anti armour, any other Legion would be on the struggle bus with the battle cannon, but as the Iron Warriors get a +1 S when shooting at armour, the S8 battle cannon becomes a rather threatening S9 weapon.
I'm working on some Siege Terminators next. I also have a Spartan APC to assemble and build, which I'll hopefully get done this weekend. It will be the fourth of those that I've done.
What I have left for the tank force is the termies and their Spartan, 1 more Predator, 1 more Sicaran and a Land Raider Proteus with a squad of regular Iron Warriors in it.
So I need to finish 4 more vehicles and 20 infantry and this side of the third game is done.
