From NoelW: My Sergeant Spots A Bluff : Burch’s Bluff (15 points)

Remembering the armies we almost encountered the last time we were in this neck of the woods, we scale the cliffs of Burch’s Bluff, sergeant first. Most surprisingly, he survives. He doesn’t grab an unexpectedly friable lump of rock and plummet to an unfortunate demise. He doesn’t stumble upon a trigger-happy army in a hidden valley and have his jodphurs riddled with buckshot. He doesn’t rub against a strange cactus, inhaling peculiar fumes which make him believe he can fly. No hazard. No harm. Odd, but there it is.

In the distance below us, though, we sight strange creatures and machines crawling across the plateau.

Cautiously, we skirt around them – all except for my sergeant, who, filled with a new confidence after his remarkable damage-free climb, shouts an affable greeting towards them…

I suppose these are not strictly Horus Heresy figures, not being Imperium, so I’m going to maintain that these orks (and one Tyranid) were traitors to their races, unusually joining the human rebellion for the fun of it. They're bits and pieces that've been left over in the "Epic box" as I finished the Imperium for earlier posts. (I say "finished"...)

We have one ork vehicle, one Tyranid equivalent to a vehicle or war machine, 

15 foot figures (including two command bases – these are my “vignettes” this time - and three cavalry orks, mounted on boars.

Scoring: 2 6mm “vehicles” = 4 pts; 3 cavalry = 3 pts; 15 foot = 7.5 pts. Perhaps a whole .5 for the banners? To make a total of 15 pts.



Are you going soft Noel? Or has your CO had a word about the casualty rate among your Sergeants? Curious minds must know - did he survive this incident?

Cracking work as always!
