Vidar's Fate campaign weekend report part 3
It occurs to me that I've been very reticent with my posts from various campaign weekends, so much so that I forgot to post the 3rd part of Vidar's Fate at Warhammer World!
Apologies. Please enjoy the photos!

Wars of Armageddon Part 2 - The battle for the chimera factory
Welcome to part 2 of my posts about the wars for Armageddon campaign weekend.
This post has photos from a special mission that was fought over the weekend, the defence of the Chimera Factory. Here's the scenario...
TACTICAL WARZONE: ARMAGEDDON PRIME: HIVE
TEMPESTORA
2000pts ‐ Imperial Guard VS Orks
Secure the Chimera factory ‐ At the end of each player turn, whatever team is in control of the
facility and providing it is not contested, may control the 2
Chimeras that guard the factory (See Codex: IG), these act as normal however units may NOT
embark onto them, nor can you target them whilst they are in your control. In addition, at the end
of every game turn, roll a D6, on a 6 another Chimera is created ‐ which may be used the same way
as previously described.
The winner is the player who owns the Facility at the end of the game.
Benefit:
Imperial Guard Victory: Unit type: Fast, Tank ‐ Chimeras.
Ork Victory: Trukk Front Armour increased to 12
The battle lines are drawn and the Imperial Guard start in possession of the chimera factory. For this battle my Guard had some space marine allies in the form of Black Dragon Assault Marines, a Terminator captain, a vindicator and two squads of 5 scouts.
The ork horde is lined up ready for the dash across no mans land. Given the size of the board, the orks go first and also get a free move before the start of the game.
The Salamander and the empty Command Section Chimera occupy the main access point ready to act as speed bumps for the ork advance.
The Praetorian chosen men keep watch from the roof of the Chimera factory. Spying the clouds of dust and smoke caused by the Bad Moon trucks the alarm is raised and the guardsmen ready themselves below.
The majority of the ork forces push for the gate, the first truck to approach the gateway is swiftly destroyed, disgorging a unit of mega armoured nobz. Their armour proves no match for the weight of the Imperial firepower and they are gunned down in short order.
The nature of the bottle neck means it is difficult for the orks to arrive en masse and enables the Imperial to focus on one or two units a turn.
Ork air support arrives to late to trouble the imperial lines greatly.
The orks that did reach the gate were swiftly leapt upon by the Black Dragon space marines who tore the survives to pieces.
The Tank Commander marshalls the firepower of the King Russ (Macharius) while the guardsmen at the while unleash volley after volley at the onrushing orks.
The Chosen men pick of the few remaining survivors.
A few killer kanz and some boyz remain and the Imperial lines hold firm. Emphatic Victory to the Imperium!
Up next a 2k doubles game with Tycho's company of Blood Angels against Nazdreg's Bad moonz...

Vidar's Fate campaign weekend report part 2
Welcome to part 2 of the campaign weekend report. In this post the battles will be put to one side and instead we shall delve into the various entries in the painting competitions...
There were a fair few titans on display in the engines of war category.
An innovative Eldar take on a bastion.
Captain Caine cuts a diminutive figure alongside some of the rather larger heroes!
Not in the painting contest but an immense 'nid army. Absolutely stunning.
Thousand Sons army in the best army competition.
It was nice to see a few Eldar titans at the weekend. The eventual winner of that category was a harlequin phantom titan which unfortunately I don't have a photo of. If you check out the Warhammer World facebook page there should be one there
The overall winner of the painting contest. My friend Stu's army finally winning the coveted best army at the third of fourth time of asking. Well deserved I reckon.
I'd highly recommend you check his blog. Amazing stuff there.

Every single model is converted, incredible attention to detail.
The Iron Hawks space marines.
A really nice Dark Angels army utilising a bit of everything from the new codex.
Some custodes.
A really nice guard army with a cool camo pattern.
Iyanden make an appearance with a beautiful Eldar army.
Well you know this army by now.
An honourable defeat in the painting contest. Still got a fair few people coming up to me to say they'd voted for my guys which is always nice to hear. Two 1st place and a nomination from my 3 WW events, not bad at all I reckon. I'll have to up my game some how for the next time...
Stay tuned for part 3 of the report and the climactic final two battles!
