The Vleast War

[Xenos and Proud]

I was pretty inspired by The Taros Campaign when I got a hold of it and decided to write my own. Didn't go to well to start with but I have taken about three years in writing this on and off for fun, holidays and the like, and it fleshed out in the end. Any ways to improve, move forward or better the story?

I hope that link works.

EDIT- I just looked through the GW IP stuff on their webpage and came across a few minor problems between my work and it to do with the images. I will make suitable edits to the document and try to get the new work up ASAP to replace this. Sorry about the hassle, I don't want to get sued!

not bad at a glance. i love the idea of Tau vs Tyranids... i play both armies... and my tau are all decorated with tyranids bits and bodies, and my tyranid with tau bits and bodies.

one thing i do want to note though is that in your fire warrior image and equipment description, that item he is holding in his hand is the drone controller... there is no actual representation for the markerlight on the shas'ui. on the pathfinders you can see the markerlight attached to the top of their pulse carbine though.

and now trying to look at it again, the file is gone?

- I am exactly the same! My friend also has Tau and we often have Tau vs Tyranid games which is why I chose the factions in the first place. I also really didn't want to do an Imperial story, I wanted it written from a xenos perspective.

- I have always thought that was a markerlight designator! Oops! I even modeled the antennae on his back to be the drone controller. Maybe call it a bit of 'poetic license'. Thanks for the catch though.

- Sorry, temporary mistake whilst I was reading it over myself. Should be back up now.

Do you think it would be worth extending? Following in the steps of Taros and the other IA books I could add unit entries, picture excerpts from the fighting and narrative missions. I'd like to, but I'm interested to see if people like yourself who have the models to play with would be interested in my crazy ideas before I put an awful lot of work into it.

now apparently the file is dammaged and cannot be opened...
reupload?


i have lots of ideas about how tau vs tyranids would work... including a 'krootstealer' infestation... working on a bit of a narrative on how that goes down.

it would easilly incorporate rules for drone-heavy armies and no kroot, vespids, or other auxillaries...


and of course on the tyranid side, there would be the whole krootstealer cult...

Should be fixed now. Thanks for the notification.

Kroot and Tyranids are similar in that they incorporate the DNA of their victims so you could even do it the other way; Kroot adapted from Tyranids.

So, it took longer than expected due to the re-formatting but here is the newest copy of The Vleast War:

Sorry for the delay, I hope you enjoy it but I know it's pretty long so have fun with whatever you read.
