On Friday the 26th of January a big event took place at the Dice and Deck. At approx 8pm a large invading force comprised of various Chaos Legions and the Necron made planetfall on the ruins of Magnus Ceravo, a city who had already felt war centuries ago.
The forces of the imperium not content with letting any heretic or xenos set foot on imperial soil rushed a small contigent of Ultra Marines and the Ordo Malleus to halt the incursion.
As battle lines were drawn the unexpected arrival of the Eldar surprised both sides.
Battle closed at 8:45pm as the alliance of imperial and Eldar forces unleashed the first barrage of fire.
The battle raged for many hours with the following being notable events of that battle:
The battle finished at approx 12am. 4 hours of mahem and maniacal fun. Next time will see the lines being bigger. At a total of 8000pts a side for this battle we are hoping to breach 10,000pts a side next time.
So build up your armies, construct some big things, and come along for what promises to be a bigger and better apocalyptic gaming experience!
