I played a fun game against Dark Angels yesterday. My opponent kindly toned down his list when he learned I was bringing Nightmare Hunt. It was a very fun, close game. In the end, the House Nightfall's Night Lords won by 10 points. I felt bad because my opponent kept failing his battle-shock tests.
The Warpborn were all vatborn within the warp itself. Made from Geneseed that was made wholly within the warp on the planet Kai. They were a project of the Dark Mechanicum, intended to be slaves and cannon fodder in the Dark Techpriests' forces. They were also intended to prove that a Chaos Marine force need not consist of fallen Astartes.
But the Warpborn had other ideas. They didn't want to be anyone's playthings. After decades of servitude to the Dark Mechanicum they finally achieved freedom in a glorious slave uprising. The small band of rebels stole a Dark Mechanicus ship, Forward Unto Dawn, kidnapped a navigator, and took to the stars. They now wander the verse pillaging, burning, and liberating anyone they perceive to be enslaved.
Last week I finished upgrading one of my Raptor Squads, the Bats Out of Hell. They now have the upgrades in the new Raptor Rules--5 powerfists and 2 mutations. I also repainted their banner. Then I was able to use them in a fun game against a friend on Saturday. Ave Dominus Nox!
