Hey Scorp, I'm sure you are busy with all your regular battle-reports but I've wanted to throw this out there for awhile and just see what you think...
I've always wanted to play the Gathering Storm missions myself, but my playing group is way too small. I thought it'd be great to see them in bat-rep form but they just are not out there! I think it'd make for an epic series of videos for you James, and the guys from your club and former Challengers like Tristan Whitehead with his awesome Abaddon model to hit the scene in an epic match-up with James and his Imperial Guard lead by Creed re-creating the Fall of Cadia!
But with Guilliman, Creed, Cawl, Y'riel, Aehriman, and all their respective armies featuring so heavily across all 3 books you guys practically have the entire cast of characters in your collection already. Plus you have the more rare factions like Harlies, the Secret Army who play pivotal roles in campaign as well.
Anyway just a thought, wanted to throw it out there, maybe it could be something you do down the road. Anyway the bat-reps have been great lately and I'm loving army development for all the armies as usual. Thanks as always!
Great suggestions. So much story behind this...would be epic. James and I do plan on another campaign in the near future...based on the fluff. This looks a bigger project...but one we could do!:) How many parts would this epic saga be you think?
So stoked you are into the idea (also happy to hear about you and James planning another campaign). I think it'd make for some real premier viewing on the Plus Channel. So I just busted out my book, and in Gathering Storm II there only 4 missions. You guys could do all 4 missions from Gathering Storm I and then take a nice break and get back to regular games and then pick up the campaign a couple months later or something like that? I bet members from your club would get pretty fired up to participate too.
Also just a note, it'd also be an excuse to try out the Y'nnari rules on your Eldar. You also have all the models besides the Triumvirate to run the various formations (now defunct). Like the Soulbound Vanguard (Dire Avengers and Incubi) which would be great to see.
My only warning is James may blow a gasket with all the chanting and bold declarations especially in books I + III lol! He could even make some videos on his own channel with his plans for the campaign.
Anyway great stuff Scorp! I'd be happy to bounce any ideas off you that you may have. But yeah a 3 part campaign with some healthy breaks in between would make for some really thrilling content. Either way cant wait to see more campaigns on the channel they've all been great!
Quick follow up thought too, you and James have a lot of experience modfiying campaign missions too, so I'd totally do that to fill in the gaps in available units/models or on missions objectives stuff like that.
It's all a good idea for sure. 3 or 4 parts sounds great...doable I think:) Will have to see:)
