Anphelion Campaign

[Talonis]

Hello Hive,

I am looking to run another campaign in the near future, and this one will be based on the Anphelion Project, inspired by the missions in the back of the imperial armour book.

The only problem is I dont want just a series of missions which follow each other ( like the book) but rather a map based or narrative based campaign.

I know that there were 4 stations which needed clearing by Red Scorpions and the generator was secured, but How to include all these into a campaign I am a little stumped as to how.

Does anyone have any idea's, or experience on running campaigns? If so I would love to hear from you

If you buy me the IA 4 book and mail it to me, I would be able to help you out. Just kidding there. What would you like? I don't visit GW stuff forums much so I might miss this post. I beleive this should be in Tyranid General, since it is Tyranids. Post it in there, and you might get more help.

I tried making a story based game as well. I started small and kept getting bigger and bigger each scenario. So I say start of small so it's like an "Introductory" to your story.

i would just throw everything into a single game, once one objective is completed you move straight onto the next campaign.

for example.

campaign 1 : a dawn of war campaign where IG have to shut down a chaos factory.

campaign 2: IG have to defend a city from chaos

campaign 3: night fighting mission where chaos spawn and demons must be held back by IG

start with the 1st campaign, after 5 or 6 turns, move onto the next day campaign still using the models on the board, after another 6-7 turns move onto the night fighting mission.

with the right house rules and planning you could make a very cinematic game

So basically have a rolling single game?
So game 1 would be the initial insertion of the Red Scorpions Terminators clearing the first buildings.
This would be night fighting for the first 3 turns, then turning into day for the last few turns.
Then the Elysians can drop in to secure the Generators and continue wit the IG to create a secure compound. This would be around 4 turns to get units into positions and await for the Tyranid attack which ensues.
Something like this?

yes exactly, the game would go for a long time (perfect for apoc matches) and the tyranid phase of the game could continue until all tyranids are dead or all imperial soldiers are dead.

make sure you give us a battle report though!

This idea will take some time, and as we have almost finished my last campaign at my local club, I might give people a break for a while. But when I do, I will most definitely will share it all here.

Here is an example what I did. First game, about 400 or 500 points. Dark Angels invistage a planet that went quiet. Dark Angels deploy on one side and need to exit the other side where there was a space ship. They get to space ship they get a signal off to their peers in space and notify that Tyranids have taken over the planet or base. Tyranids have to stop this from happening.

Next game, more points 750. With a bigger force, the DA delve deeper into the complex only to find huge tyranids lurking down below. DA need to clear the cavern out so they can make their base of operations.

Next game 1000 or more point game. They find a cavern that seems like a nest for the Tyranids. They need to clear it out, Tyranids need to prevent it from happening.

Next game 2000 points. All or nothing. Either the Tyranids can wipe out the DA, or the DA can fianlly stop the maddness that is happening to the planet or base.

Hey I think I remember you writing about this Davor... Wasn't it to make an interesting story for your son? If that was you, I did read that thread, it was about 6 or so months ago right?

Thanks for the ideas too
