Foul Deeds Will Rise: Introduction by Patrick Eibel
For
the last couple of years, we have been creating an ongoing story around
Kenton’s Dark Eldar. His Archon, Syryx
Lynatharr sees threats (either real or imagined) to his control of the Ozone
Scorpions from just about every one of his lieutenants. Lynatharr may be crazy, but he is not stupid,
and he has put into motion plans to solidify his position. This campaign will follow the machinations of
his plan and determine whether he or his enemies will be successful.
The
campaign is narrative in that each battle furthers the story to its conclusion,
rather than being an isolated battle.
There will be three battles, each with the Dark Eldar as the
protagonist, but with different opponents throughout (you’ll see why.) The campaign winner will be determined by who
wins the most battles, with ties being broken total kill points from each
battle.
Battle
#1 – Summoning the Mandrakes. Dr’zzllah,
Lynatharr’s daughter/lover and primary threat to the throne, uses figurines of
mysterious power to summon eldritch forces to her cause. She encounters a band of Chaos marauders who
might disrupt her plan. This battle pits
2,000 points of Dark Eldar (Dr’zzllah and Mandrakes are required) versus 2,000
points of Chaos in a Feigned Retreat battle (page 30 in the Battle Missions
book.)
Battle
#2 – Slave Raid. Lynatharr sends his Haemonculus, Dr.
Jheste, to lead an attack on a Tau settlement to acquire more prisoners. This battle pits 2,000 points of Dark Eldar
(led by Dr. Jheste) against 2,000 points of Tau in a Slave Raid battle (page 28
in the Battle Missions Book.)
Battle
#3 – Join or Die. Lynatharr offers the
remnants of the previous battles the choice to join him or be exiled from the
Scorpions. Lynatharr plans an attack on
an abandoned Imperial Stronghold – abandoned because it is infested by
Tyranids. This battle pits 4,000 points
of Dark Eldar (led by Syryx Lynatharr) against 4,000 points of Tyranids in a
Wave Assault battle (page 84 in the Battle Missions book.)
Depending
on how the battles go, the storyline for the Dark Eldar will be changed. Certain factions could strengthen their
position with a win, or be weakened with a loss. The campaign should prove to be very
interesting as we give the new Dark Eldar codex a whirl and try out some
unusual missions.
