The Test Of Khaine: Missions

Well its that time again. To celebrate Craftworld Lansing's 2^nd birthday I bring you the 2^nd Test Of Khaine Tournament on April 14^th at Evolution Games. This is an 1850 pt tournament. Painted armies are encouraged but not required. Standard force org is being used with no Forge World rules allowed. Models are if they are being used instead of standard GW models. So I present to you the missions sans the fluff so you can prepare your army. Primary Objectives are worth 30 battle points, secondary Objectives are worth 15 points and Tertiary Objectives are worth 10 points. Games are 5 turns with standard random game length rules in effect.

Mission 1: Strength

Deployment: Pitched Battle

Primary Objective: Kill Points

Secondary Objective: Place a single objective in the center of the table. Only an HQ unit can hold this objective. It must be within 3 inches and no other enemy unit can be within 3 inches to claim this objective

Tertiary Objective: Have more units in your enemies deployment zone than he does at the end of the game.

Mission 2: Cunning

Deployment: Dawn Of War

Primary Objective: Choose an enemy unit. This must be an Elite, Heavy or Fast Attack choice. This unit is of special interest to the Seers and has been chosen for elimination. Destroy the unit to achieve this objective.

Secondary Objective: Both players designate an army leader. This is the highest points cost HQ unit in the army. The leader must be eliminated with haste to prevent a great catastrophe. He is a cunning opponent so be wary. Eliminate this Leader to secure this objective.

Tertiary Objective: You must lure the enemy away and claim quarters of the battle field. You must have no enemy units within the table quarter to claim it with a troop choice to win this objective.

Mission 3: Speed

Deployment: Spear Head

Primary Objective: Place a single objective in the center of the table in the no mans land. This objective is a valuable piece of tech that must not fall into the enemies hands. Any Unit, excluding vehicles, may “pick” up this objective and try to carry it off the table from your table edge. You pick up this objective by moving within 1 inch of it. You must exit vehicles to pick up the objective.  You must carry it off the table to claim this objective. This unit does not count towards kill points.

Secondary Objective: Randomly place d3+2 objectives as per the take & hold rules in the 40K rulebook.

Tertiary Objective: Kill points

The Test Of Khaine: Almost Live

Well we are into the first round of the Test of Khaine.  The Turnout has been great, in fact it was more than I thought it would be.  I had to cap the number of players at 32 due to space and table constraints.  This is a good learning experience for me.  I usually over plan things, but in this case I did not and I have to raise my paranoia bar for planning events.
We have a nice mix of armies and players from all around Michigan.  The Dark Future Games Crew is in attendance playing with Farseer Re-Rolls and Deathbringer as my council of judges.  GT is here representing MI40K and we even have a few guys from the local chapter of the 40K fight club here as well.
  After the Tournament I plan on getting a game in with Inquisitor Lord Vogrin.  He will be using the as of yet unreleased Grey Knights Codex which arrived at Evolution Games Yesterday via Black Box.


I will have some pictures up later including one of the most dead sexy Eldar armies I have ever seen in person Painted by Bob Murphy.

Until then....
