June 1st – Week 1 6 players played 6 games at 2000pts. Duro – Squat War Engines Matt – Biel-Tan Simon – Biel-Tan Joel – Ghazghkull Orks Jason - Iyanden Eldar Steve – Iron Warriors Game results: Matt vs Simon – 2:0 win to Matt (DTF, Blitz) Duro vs Steve – 2:0 win to Steve (TSNP, TnH) Matt vs Steve – 4:0 win to Matt (Blitz, TnH, BTS & DTF) Duro vs Matt – 3:1 win to Matt (BTS, TnH & Blitz – TnH) Simon vs Joel – 2:0 win to Simon (Blitz, TnH) Jason vs Steve - 3:0 win to Jason (BTS, TnH & TSNP) Some photos from week 1: So after Sunday’s games, the campaign map looks like this: Matt was able to build up a handy lead, helped by the capture of week 1′s Spaceport hex for bonus points. There is another game scheduled during the week so the map may change a bit before next Sunday’s round 2 begins. More photos HERE Cheers, Steve.

So the first round ends with 6 players having played 6 games at 2000pts. In the remaining game, Iyanden Eldar fought with the Iron Warriors. Even though the forces of chaos were able to seize the strategic advantage though out the game, they were unable to penetrate the Eldar armour (even with cross-fire) and the game went to Jason 3:0 with BTS, TnH and TSNP. Well played Jason! Matt - 10pts Simon - 5pts Steve - 5pts Duro - 4pts Jason - 3pts Joel - 2pts The next round begins on Sunday June 8th! Games will be at 2500pts.

Great campaign so far, and I'm looking forward to it as it continues to scale up in points sizes. Thanks for running it Steve.

I always like seeing you guys play - the tables and armies always look spot on. Do you have a link to the campaign rules you're using? I remember them being simple but effective...

I have some photos from Nick Brookesy's first foray into the Campaign. 2500pts Biel Tan vs Steel Legion. Wraithlords and Wraithguard provide a spearpoint as the Eldar stride out to war. Nick's Leman Russ 'Practically unbreakable Break their Spirit' formation rolls forward to claim the objectives. Falcons and Fireprisms hunt from cover. A warhound loses just a single shield as to eldar tanks, shrugging off their efforts and replying with molten plasma blasts. The Imperial Guard fired a massive amount of firepower into the large Eldar formation. Ooh Shiny. A Vampire swoops in from orbit and disgorges Warpspiders into a massive assault against an infantry company and broken warhound. This would prove to go better for the Eldar side, but both ended up broken from casualties. The Eldar BTS Guardian and Wraithlord formation engages the Leman Russes - only to be repelled and broken for their efforts. The Avatar is summoned, and engages a traitorous Revenant (Sub for a Steel Legion Warhound). The game proved to be very close, with only a fraction of both armies making it out alive. There was a point where Nick was on the brink of victory with his Leman Russes just needing to move a few CM and fire on the Eldar blitz guard, but they were broken in the nick of time and finally destroyed in turn 4. The game ended with an Eldar win 2-1 (take and hold, bts vs take and hold).

Contact PFE100 for more details on the Squat Engine list. Thanks for the report Matt. I'll update the campaign details soon.

The campaign map after today's games:

So Matt continues to dominate!

Next Sunday 22nd is the final day of the campaign for this year. Can anyone catch Matt? Can we play enough games (at least 5 more games) to begin capturing territories off each-other?

Next week will see Titans and Tau amongst other armies, coming to play!

Re: War Without End 2014 - An Epic Armageddon Campaign.

Well the War Without End campaign has drawn to a close for this year with a resounding victory to Matt!
Well done mate. A 100% win rate from your 8 games - outstanding stuff.

Week 4 saw 9 players play 6 more games.

Game results:

Photos of week 4:
Drew’s Third Phase expansion Tau and Liam’s Vior’La Tau fight a fierce civil war.

Nick’s Steel Legion try to take on the might of Matt’s Biel-Tan.

Joel’s Ork Waaagh challenge the Biel-Tan of Simon.

Jak’s Ork horde hurls itself at Duro’s Squat War Engines.

Simon’s Biel-Tan are next up for Duro’s Squats.

And the final game of the campaign saw Nick’s Steel Legion and Steve’s Iron Warriors duke it out for a 4 turn draw (but allowing Nick to capture a map territory off Steve).

So the final layout of the campaign map looks like this:

A comfortable win to Matt (as usual

).
Interesting facts:
12 players have played 20 games of Epic over the last 4 weeks.
Matt played 8 games and won every single one (the rest of us need to lift our game).

Victory Goals scored over the 20 games:

As usual with this campaign, there is a great reward in participation. I value players turning up and joining in the fun more than winning or losing!
A big Thankyou to all 12 players that joined in (and to all the interested onlookers that watched).
Also a HUGE thanks goes out to Tabletop Gamers Association for the amazing support and encouragement they provide!

The War Without End will continue in 2015!
Steve.
