Hey guys! Ethan here, presenting to you the Vostroyan Media blowout! we've been hard at work for the past 5 days, and we have ALOT to show for it! First off we have designed a basic plotline for our mappers, and will be modeling the maps after the Vostroyan Campaign
the planet: Stalingrad VI
What has happened b4 the Vostroyans arrival.
The planet was a small hive world that chaos had set its eyes upon. the main city,
New stalingrad
was captured by huge waves of cultists. They held out for a day. There was mass wide slaughter of the PDF forces and citizens. The only part of the city left intact was teh cities star port, which they were going to use to bring in chaos forces. But they didn't count on...
CHUCK NORRIS!!!
but for real, a vostroyan fleet was nearby, and got the emergency transmission from the planet. They made landfall in the space port, smashing their way through the cultists trying to take off. They established a position in the starport adn dug in. a map of the starport is in Vasili's map instructions. Anyway you can make up waht happens in description but basically they spend the time for a while capturing New Stalingrad, digging in with trench lines, fighting off waves of clutists. Then they make a d-day like crossing of the river on the northern side of the city, to capture the chaos held city of Eincalgrad. Here they encounter CSM and engage in epic battle. Thats all for now.
its a bit vague but this is just the basic storyline so far.
Also we have a lot of really good fluff by some of our map makers, and our fluff writer, EldestYoung
First off, The first chapter in the story of the 882nd Vostroyan by one of our map makers, Vasili
“Tanks up above!” Shells fired through the building, taking huge amount of brickwork and guardsmen alike. “You idiot! The heavy bolter won’t do anything against its armour!” The guardsmen of the Vostoryan 882nd regiment where in panic, running around like mad men. The enemy was gaining ground; Captain Vasili ran to the vox communicator, the guardsman was trying to contact the artillery. “No, no, no! I said sector twelve not eleven!” the guardsman through down his ear phones and phone caster, “Can I not get some quiet for once you heretic bastards!” He jumped up pulling out his Auto-pistol and firing wildly from the building. As soon as he got up he was shot in the head by enemy fire, his head caved in on it self and the bloodied fur hat fell to the ground. He was just another dead guardsman in this urban city. Vasili ran towards the Autocannon crew they where firing at enemy positions taking out every heretic that dare come out of hiding from the buildings. “You are KHECKING! idiots! Can you not see that Leman Russ over there? Now get firing!”. Vasili turned around when a shell struck the front of the building; smoke and bodies flew through other walls.
From the sky, Vasili and the guardsmen heard the screaming of the shells, they landed making huge impacts into the ground taking chunks of brickwork and road. The Captain saw the chance to charge, the heretics where refusing to surrender. Wild fire came from the buildings, Auto guns and Las guns fired from the windows. Vasili shouted high above his comrades demanding they move forward, firing his pistol in the air. Vasili stepped over the dead bodies to get to the front line position. “Men get ready! Show these traitors the might of the Emperor!” The Guardsmen tried all they could to hide from the firing and impact of the shells as they tried to move forward. It was all in vain the buildings where too weak to take the pressure of the traitor’s shells, the shells just came through like pebbles through water. Never less, the guardsmen piled against the wall edge’s Vasili blew is whistle, ranks of guardsmen jumped from the buildings into the main street; Many not even getting out of there positions before being shot down in a bloody hell fire. Has Vasili looked around he saw the guardsmen fall, to become a new body in the urban no-mans-land. However never less as each guardsmen fell, more Vostoryan’s took there places. They moved forward, Bayonets at the ready; Slashing and maiming the heretics in there positions. Many of them had fled, locking themselves in the upper levels, than face the Vostoryans in hand to hand combat. Vasili decapitated a renegade officer of his head, while pushing forward firing his Auto pistol at the traitors still stuck in there positions.
The remaining Guardsmen of the Vostoryan 882nd regiment regrouped, a guardsmen spoke up; “Should we not ask them to surrender comrade?” Vasili turned around and resorted after a long pause “I’ll ask them when I have blown them to hell!” get the explosives up here now!
Next, heres an intro to the campaign by Eldest Young
The Valkyrie screams down towards the ground. Well not much ground, what lies before my eyes is an awe inspiring city that seems to stretch impossibly far in all directions, this city must have been a bustling wonder to behold. So many buildings opening on to so many streets all filled with the good people of the Imperium, who lived and worked under the grateful eye of the Emperor. And every day they would pay their homage to the Emperor at the temple that lay towards the heart of the city. By this time my gaze was drawn to the spot were the temple should have been, but now there was no temple, only the pitiful defiled remains of a fairly large building covered in the words of a heretic, and the images of a blasphemer, only the pitiful remains of a large traitorous city.
A crack ripped the sky, penetrating the protection of the machine god’s flying achievement. The entire Valkyrie shook and the machine spirit inside shrieked as the pilot masterfully worked the controls, working not against the machine but with it. Shells rippled the side of our faithful transport as I turned back to the troops. Some of the troopers inside flinched and braced for an impact that was not to happen. You faithless cowards, you will be dealt with later, after you have done your duty to the emperor and cleansed this landing pad. Pitiful small arms fire can now be heard, the anti air weapons receiving the full punishment from the emperor and all who fight for him as a gun ships strafe the traitors’ positions. The Valkyrie touches down soon after the pilot regains the machine spirit’s favor. A stream of shot pours over the cockpit window shattering glass and gauges. I turn around only to find the wounded pilot struggling to live a life that has passed its time.
“Pilot of Transport 7! Pilot of his majesty the Emperor himself! Do not fear death! For your valiant acts he will welcome you to his side; you die in the Emperor’s grace. You will always be remembered for your service!” I yell over the roar of combat as other lucky Valkyries touch down.
The wounded man looked up from fear and into acceptance, he grinned at me and with a last heave of his arm he hit a button and the ramp deploys to send the angry Vostroyans into battle behind me.
“Good man” I say as I pat him on the shoulder, which, given the extent of his injuries would have killed him if he weren’t already dead. And I turn to join my men at the entrance into battle.
I step out into the swirling snow and bright light, another brave man falls next to me, an enemy shot finding its mark, the Valkyrie next to mine explodes into a fireball as artillery rains in.
I switch my com bead over to general, “I just love the smell of the
Emperor’s fury in the morning” explosions and shots coarse in the background
” Isn’t that right 23rd”!
The resulting battle cry drowned out the fighting, FOR VOSTROYA!
