Beyond the Gates of Antares; Xilos Campaign

Hey all,

Following the posting of a few battle reports in the Antares campaign I figured i'd give this a shout out. The campaign is 6 weeks long and every week a new mission is introduced, based on those in the current supplement "The Battle for Xilos" and the results of the campaign will be used by Rick Priestley as the basis for the next supplement.

  

On the campaign website, you can sign up and immediately start posting your battle reports. To encourage quality, you are encouraged to write up your battle report, upload photos, army lists, link videos and link up your report with your opponents version. Further to this people can rank your reports and comment on them, giving you vital feedback where you need it.

Now stay with me here, you might be thinking, that sounds very boring, writing up a turn by turn analysis of every game for people for criticise? Well have a look this segment from my 2nd battle report;

"Of the remaining squads, one was constantly on its knees struggling to comprehend that Grog himself was still alive. The Imtel had clearly not anticipated that Grogs own battlesuit would still be intact. Further still Grog had passed every resistance test, break test and command test the remaining C3 squads could put on him, how was this even possible? Well Grog didn’t care."

My writing skills are not amazing, but you get the idea. I took an amazing event on the tabletop of a model not giving into its fate and worked it into a story, a story I intend to continue with future battle reports, where every game I will nominate a model to be Grog, and the report will be written from his perspective.

So, the reports themselves can be great fun.
