The primary objective was to keep a tally of all the units you had killed as each unit type was worth a set amount of points. The deployment zone was split up into table quarters. This didnвЂ™t really effect the majority of my force due to a lot of my Mechanicum units ignoring it due to special rules or wargear. The missions were drawn from the Age of Darkness mission sets with a few small additions, generally to do with night fighting. Due to the low points cost and small addition between each game this meant that Lords of War basically couldnвЂ™t be taken, although the PrimarchвЂ™s ChosenВ Rite of War allowed people wanting a Primarch to get around this, although at this small points cost I was glad to note that only one appeared in the tournament. The tournament itself hadВ a pretty interestingВ set up, it started at a small points 1350 points and each additional game added 250 points to your army list, this could be done through new units, additional wargear etc. So after leaving half the things I had initially planned on taking and scraping together a scribbled down list of what models I had actually brought with me I ended up with the following:ДҐx Cataphractii Terminators with an Autocannon & Sergeant with a Plasma Blaster We were required to use the same base list and add to it each round. This game was the first of three as part of a Horus Heresy Escalation campaign, starting at 1350 points for the first game, 1600 for the 2nd and 1850 for the last. Long story short, due to a packing malfunction and human error, I didnвЂ™t take the right case and my shiny new toy never made it to the tournament. We both used the tournament as a deadline to get stuff finished, my own progress can be followed in my previous articles on getting the Macrocarid Explorator battle ready. Therefore when the Horus Heresy tournament at 6вЂ™s 2 Hit in Edinburgh was announced I jumped at the chance to get involved, as did Ian. So itвЂ™s been a while since I played some proper games of Warhammer 40k/ Horus Heresy, the annual Christmas apocalypse bash at the Edinburgh League of Gamers not withstanding.ДЄll in all itвЂ™s been close on about 5-6 months since any of my armies took to the field in anything resembling a normal sized fight.
