The Defense of Nekar Quintus
The Battle for Nekar Quintus rages!
The Warmaster's minions have begun the march to Hive Kydonia, the gargantuan capital city of Nekar Quintus. The Blood Angels are fortifying the outer defenses and preparing the Planetary Defense Force for the titanic struggle to come.
In the west the Wolves of Russ are positioning themselves for a devastating counterstrike should the Blood Angels be forced to concede the planets capital. Harald Deathwolf has tenaciously defended Kistan Spaceport and Research Station Klaed.
Orks muster in the northwest although so far no single Warboss has risen to unite the feuding tribes into a proper Waaagh! Neverless they quickly overran the meager defenses of the Weather Control Station and their momentum was only halted by the Planetary Defense Forces.
One certainty hangs above all the death and carnage...
The worst is yet to come.

Highlands Gathering - Results
Many dice were thrown and many a soldier has fallen. Many thanks go out to everyone who participated. The Ligonier Library and Toy Soldier Gallery deserve special mention for helping us to host the event and providing us the space to hold it.
Overall we had 16 people in the main tournament and 8 people in our beginners bracket.
1250 results:
Best Overall: Joseph Caoco with his Eldar 75$
Best General: Ron Marshall with his Imperial Guard 45$
Best Appearance: DJ with his Imperial Guard 30$
Worst Dice award goes to Sean Ketrow and his Scout company. Sean actually was in 2nd place for best general but his dice during the last game decided to take a break and he came up with multiple Yahtzee's of ones.
Most Favored Opponent: Josh Litzinger with his Necrons, Battle Missions Book.
Beginners results:
Best Overall: Mark Turner, prize was a box of troops for his army
Best General: Josh Davidson, any one blister for his army
Best Aspiring artist: Otter Baker, any one blister for his army
In a great show of sportsmanship Otter gave his prize to one of his competitors, Tim. Tim was very new to the game and was using some borrowed Space marines for the event. We (Snake Eyes) pitched in and bought Tim an Assault on Black Reach Box set and the Toy Soldier Gallery threw in a nice chaplain to go with it.
Tim, if your reading this, remember two things, "The emperor protects", and "Purge those Xenos scum!"

A Highlands Gathering!!
Come one and come all to a Warhammer 40k event in Ligonier PA!
On 4-24-2010 *(that's April 24th for you foul xenos spawn - you know who are) Club Snake Eyes is teaming up with The Toy Soldier Gallery to bring you a day of gaming for free, that's right, the rock bottom bargain basement price of *Free*.
The event will run from 10 am until 4:30 PM. We are shooting to run a 1250 point 3 round tournament for regular players and a 500 point 3 or 4 rounder (if time permits we'll give players the option to add the extra round) for relative newcomers. Prize support will be provided by Games Workshop. That's right, even though this event is free there will be prizes! It will be held downstairs in the Public Library Basement (which is quite nice, spacious and has plenty of tables) which is right off the center of the town circle.
If we get a decent turnout we will run both tournaments and also a starter "training table" to help teach the basics of the hobby to those who are interested in starting. We reserve the right to combine the two games (we will have spare mini's on hand and advisors for the newer players) so there should be fun for all no matter what.
To get an idea of those coming from the surrounding area we please ask that anyone thinking of attending please e-mail astro-telepathica@atlanticbb.net to let them know so we can get a count of how many tables and how much terrain to bring.
So mark your calender, plan your trip and we'll see you there!!
Update
We've added the Tournament rules and scenarios:

Apocalypse pictures
Just a few pictures from the battle, more are on the way!
The imperial side won with 6 objectives total, the surviving imperial forces are assumed KIA as the grav hook's power source at Sorensen was destroyed. During the battle daemons breaching the warp caused major havoc among both sides. At one point a single daemon prince took out an Imperial Baneblade, carving it apart with its daemon weapon. The ensuing explosion destroyed multiple buildings and caused many imperial casualties. Of the Eldar, there has been no sign...
A "propa" writeup is on its way...

Apocolypse Rules for this Saturday
All,
This Saturday marks the end of the campaign to Save Omegang's citizens from total annihilation or Burn the fields and destroy its cities.
As such there has been much work in gathering the imperial forces for one last stand at the Grav Hook in the capital hive at Sorensen. This structure is the only way off the planet at this time. The impending warp storm has turned the sky a bloody red, lightning storms are causing Vox havoc and preventing any orbital craft from leaving the atmosphere. In the wake of this unforeseen event Imperial forces that have not made their way safely within the cities walls of Sorensen have been given up for dead. The gates are closed...
As for the forces of the Tau, Chaos, Necrons and Orks they have taken this moment to bring up more reinforcements for a final push. They know the only way off of the planet before the storm reaches the system is the Grav Hook.
Rules:
2 Objectives per side
All units count as scoring
1 Stratagem per SIDE, no orbital bombardment or flank march due to
Secret Orders or Special Objectives for every commander
A group objective on each side to have at least 1 unit within 6 inches of the Grav Hook by the end of the game.
Warp Storm: Every side turn Commanders from each side roll a die and add the total and consult the chart below:
2 - Have faith in the Emperor! (all Imperial units receive a 5+ Invulnerable Save for one turn).
3 - Rally round the flag! All Fleeing Imperial forces may run towards the nearest Imperial standard and regroup at the end of movement.
4-6: Surge in the Warp! Daemonic energies fill the battlefield. All units with a WS gain +1 S and +1 WS until the end of the turn.
7: Warp Lightning strikes into the city causing Havoc, Controlled by that turns commander 1 Large Blast. S9 AP -. Any model failing its armor save from this causes a Warp Spawn will appear under the control of the store owner with X wounds (X is equal to the number of wounds caused by the Lightning Strike).
8-10: A group of daemons breach the warp under the control of the store owner and attack everyone in sight.
11 -All Non Imperial forces gain Fleet for one turn.
12 -Death to the False Emperor! (All Non Imperial units may re-roll missed hits and wounds for o.ne turn)
Players for the Imperial Side: Bring your a 1750 point Apocalypse list
Players for the Non-Imperials: Bring your 1750 point Apocalypse list and extra models. Your side currently holds more territory on the campaign map and will be given bonus points to spend on more units and upgrades.
