Welcome back! Today I'm going to be talking about and showing the details of a campaign I'm running locally, for Macuthu and Shantz. This campaign has been inspired by the amazing ones run by Matt over at miniwargaming.com
The campaign takes place on Obrillion, (a completely made up world). It's only distinguishing characteristics is that it happens to have an odd power source emitting from it which captures the attention of the two forces which will be clashing on it's soil.
But it is not solely the domain of combat between the Dark Eldar and the Necrons. Someone else lives on the planet as well.....the orks.
I will be trying to run a campaign mission alongside our normal meets. They'll be in their own subsection, and will hopefully grow and expand overtime.
If you don't care about the fluff, or the rules, and just want to see dice rolling and plastic figures moving about, click here!

The Background Fluff
The Dark Eldar Archon "Bo" was furious. His path to join his nearby forces on a raid of the imperium was thwarted by an unstable webway. Some exterior force was effecting the pathway, and preventing him from joining up with the main raiding force. He screamed at his warriors to to change direction and sent his reavers to break through a nearby portal and investigate. He would find the source of this disruption, and kill those responsible...very slowly.
Overlord Kryztek had made a tactical error. This was not like him. HIs tomb world had come under attack by the Black Templars, and he had only just escaped with a majority of his forces before it was overrun. He clenched his warscythe and swore vengeance upon the Adeptus Astartes in black. But for now he had bigger problems. Damage to the main reanimation centers in his fleet had all but crippled his forces. He needed a new power source to repair and recharge them. One of crypteks brought his attention to the monitor. A extremely strong signal was coming from a nearby planet. This might be the power he was looking for. He quickly formed a scouting party and left to find out...knowing the Templars might not be far behind...

The First Mission: The Source of Power?
And so we find ourselves at the first mission of the campaign. Both forces intersecting at what they "think" is the source of the power signals.
