We will be having a game on June 17th. This will be a Warhammer 30K game. We will be gaming a portion of the Battle of Istvaan III. The Legions allied to the Warmaster attempted to purge the loyalist elements from within their ranks. To accomplish this the suspected loyalists were sent down to the surface of Istvaan III to put down a rebellion against Imperial authority.
While on the planet fighting against the insurgents the loyalists were betrayed. Horus released the life eater virus into the atmosphere of the planet from his ship. Due to the brave actions of several Astartes who were still aboard the fleet for various reasons word reached the troops on the ground of the betrayal. Many perished but many were able to find shelter in the myriad underground catacombs of the Choral City, the capital of Istvaan III.
After the Life Eater virus turned most living creatures on the planet to mush Horus used lance strikes from his ship to ignite the released methane in the atmosphere causing a global firestorm which inflicted further loss.
Once the fires died down there were still indications of life on the planet. Sickened by the impersonal nature of the destruction so far Angron lead a wave of his World Eater legion to the surface of the plant to root out and destroy the survivors.
His initial landing will be represented as he attacks the loyalist elements of his own legion as well as some Astartes from the Emperor's Children and the Sons of Horus who found shelter in the same place.
We will be starting around 1. All the models, dice, rules and terrain will be provided.
