Adrian's June Troop Month - Come Get Some (313 points)

Troop Month



T+042: The Blood Omen has detected strong warp energy signals from the area of the Word Bearers secret compound.
The radiation is dangerously high but not as high as recorded in the Signus campaign.

Lt. Commander Lazarus has to make a fast and dired decission, either evacuate the planet or be stead fast and continue pushing through the outer defences.


-Lt. Bahamut: We cannot stop the sorceror, he's throwing at us every horror we had faced before in this system. This may become another Signus. He's protected by his powers.

-Chaplain Giteau: I may have found a way to defeat him.

-Lt. Bahamut: What it may..

[BLAAM]

-Chaplain Giteau: Sorcerors are usually weak to overwhelming amounts of firepower.


T+043: The support squad rains death in the form of melta, superkrak and antiplant missiles. The inner defences starts to break to the continous punishment of the tanks and the devastator squad.

However, the hordes of killing tomatoes, zombies from the city and the lab personnel and the warp entities spawned from the dark rituals.

-Lt. Comm. Lazarus: We cannot stop here. Tell the Blood Omen to start an orbital bombardment. We also need deployment code "Extremis"

-Librarian Trent: Sir, do we need the brother moritat, the Doom marine? Or the terminators? They're still in reserve, but the armours are not repaired to optimal levels.

-Lt. Comm. Lazarus: No, we need the Duke marine and his Angels Tears. Zone Alpha. Right above the laboratory. Every creation from that Fabius guy must be exterminated before cleansing with nuclear fire.


T+044: [Communication intercepted]

...

[Word Bearer #1] We have interference in our sacred chants, are the Emperor Children playing that Black Sabbath classical music on our channels?

[Word Bearer #2] No, this is not any of our signa..

-Duke: I've come here to chew bubble and kick ass...

...and I'm all out of gum.

[EXTREME GUN NOISES AND SCREAMS]

 

[The inner defences finally break, hordes of creatures flood the compound joining the onslaught]



The Angel Tears annihilate the hordes of creatures in a tight combat making holes in the mass with their rad weaponry and multiple rays, chem-flame and bolt pistols.


-Duke: Guess again, freak show. I'm coming back to town, and the last thing that's gonna go through your mind before you die... is my size-13 boot!

- Lt. Bahamut: Mission command to Destroyer Operative. Is the main objective terminated?

-Duke: That Bile guy has run with the other pinky princesses in orbit. At least his friends rest in pieces.

 

-Lt. Comm. Lazarus: That's enough Duke. Rendevouz with your squad and prepare the rad-bombs. Everyone in this frequency, evacuate the compound. When close-quarter esterilization is complete, we're nuking this sector from orbit.

I think it will be difficult to replicate this mess on Earth. Blod Omen, search and destroy protocol, we should locate that Emperor Children ship and assure that there are no samples of the different experimental viruses.

 

Sixth and last month. The army is finally complete. I was playing safe because I knew it would be difficult to end the challenge with a meeting, several work trips and a moving.

No more extras. Heck, I added a ton of extras in the past months.

In the end, speed painting these guys didn't mean to reduce the overall quality.

They're the special units but lacks some of the small leather details which makes them easier to paint.

And I ended achieving the freehands I had in mind when I started designing the squad. So objective accomplished. The Angel Tears/veteran assault squad combo results were pretty fun to paint and the results are pretty good for what I thought that would be a dissapointing month.

Now for a recap and some mumbling about the possible future OWAC project.

Adrián’s out.
