I have had ideas about doing this blog and project for a long time and it all stems back to when I was living the UK still, which is going back 10 years now. We used to play Battlefleet Gothic and 40k quite a lot, living in a share house with three of us all playing meant we could always get a game in (Magical times indeed). As with all things it had to come to an end though and with two of us moving out (me moving to Australia) we decided one last big game was needed to say goodbye in style to the game we loved. At the time I had a fairly large Imperial fleet, an small Ork fleet and a Craftworld elder fleet. While my mates had Tau, Dark Eldar, an equivalent sized Imperial fleet and Chaos fleet. We decided that Imperial versus Chaos/Xenos was needed and would set it up as the Chaos/Xenos faction were invading and trying to take the most important world in the sector. So we placed several boards down in the living room, stuck star wars on the TV and proceeded to play the largest game we could. Some of you may have seen some of these shots before on the community Facebook page too. We decided that the Craftworld Elder would not take part in the battle (for fluff reasons) but mainly because they had never lost a game. So they were sacrificed in the initial cross fire volley and didn't last longer than a few shots truth be told. The game then started for real and turned into an all-out slugfest that took a total of 10 hours to finish, We came back the following day to finish it off! I still have the score card book and if theres interest I can provide a bit of a rundown of what happened. I will provide some of the stories that I wrote at the time too, highlighting some individual battles that happened throughout. The story around the plucky defence monitors needs to be told. I also have a piece written by my good mate Gaz (Phrazer99) who commanded the Chaos/Xenos fleet that I will put up. It expands on why the xenos such as the Tau were fighting for Chaos too. That’s for another post though. This huge battle and all the games that proceeded it though helped create a lasting Sector name that has stuck with me and my mates over the past 10 years – Turbidious. As we are all geologists it comes from a geological setting and was a running joke for us but has now become our little Sector. So finally, after years of thinking about it, threatening and even starting a blog only to abandon it I decided to redo it and fully flesh out our little bit of the 40k universe.
Welcome to the Turbidous Sector, it is the 41st Millennium and there is only War.
