Hi guys, today it was toys/games day at school so me and my mate Stu decided to throwdown in a battle to set off a campaign. This is the scenario we played and an outline of the campaign:
Scenario: We had three gothic ruin corners (the ones that come with the imperial guard battle force) set up in a square in one corner of a 4' by 4' table then some scenery and 3 rock piles scattered around, each rock pile was worth 100 victory points . Stu had to have more core choices within 3'' of the ruins at the end of the game than I did to get an extra 200 victory points and I had to kill his bruiser to to get my +200 of course we also played the noral rules for killing a unit to get victory points. This was a 1000 pts game and we played open lists.
The army lists were:
Ogres:
Bruiser with wallcrusher big name, a great weapon that gives +3 strength, a cathayan lonsword the all the gnoblars and extra gubbins he can take (+ a dispel scroll).
Iron guts (3): champion, standard bearer and dragonhide banner.
6 bulls: full command and iron fists a banner.
50 gnoblars: groin biter.
4 lead belchers: thunderfist (champ).
Chaos:
A kickass exalted champ with axe of khorne, Blood curdling roar and a few other random bits including mark of nurgle.
A Tzeench sorcerer with spell familiar, book of secrets and second level.
12 warriors with full command and slaanesh.
12 warriors with full command and nurgle.
5 knights with full command nurgle and lances.
Overall I had 154 points pore than him so he got plus that many VP
The game ended in a tachnical draw because I killed his bruiser and gnoblars and all but 2 bulls + his iron guts and he killed a bunch of warriors and the knights, so I had about 120 more VP's tha him but that counts as a draw. I am still happy though because he now has to roll to see what happens to his bruiser campaign wise.
The rules of the campaign are pretty simple. We have a series of games we will make up with storyline inbetween. In some games if a character is killed he does not die in the whole campaign but has to roll to see what happens:
1. Wounded: the character comes back fine next game.
2. maimed: the character lose 1 attack next game (to a minimum of 1).
3.gutted: the character loses 1 point of toughness next game.
4. maimed and wounded: the character is maimed and wounded.
5. almost dead: the character has only half his wounds for the remainder of the campaign or only 1 wound for the next 3 games (players choice).
6. Dead: the character is replaced with a champion (of any squad this champ counts as an independant character) for the next 2 games but takes up the slot the previous character slot and costs the same amount of points as the previous character. After those 2 turns a new leader has been chosen and the charcter can return to the campaign.
More will be added to the campaign at a later date.

One side of the power weapon, it is supposed to look like it is hot at the tip as it was forged through lava, I could get into that but I'll just say it's like lord of the rings when they make the ring only with more fire.
Now for the marines, this first one is the missile launcher dude, most of them don't have weapons or back packs.
This guy you have seen before.
Now for the sergeant. His face wash highlighted brown then washed black.
Sorry for the slight blur in this one.
