Once upon a time in a deep, dark swamp, there lived a witch named Imelda. Imelda was no ordinary witch; she had a special gift for casting spells and brewing potions. The creatures of the swamp feared her, but little did they know, Imelda had a love for music that matched her magical abilities. Imelda would spend hours in her humble swamp cottage, strumming her guitar and singing songs that echoed through the mist. Her voice was hauntingly beautiful, and the melodies she created had an enchanting quality to them. The animals of the swamp couldn't resist but be drawn to the music, despite their initial fear of the witch.
The animals of the swamp couldn't resist but be drawn to the music, despite their initial fear of the witch. One song in particular, known as "The Swamp's Lament," captured the essence of the mysterious and magical place they called home. The lyrics told tales of mythical creatures, hidden treasures, and the secrets of the swamp.
4k Ben’s Thousand Sons vs. My Eldar
As some of you may be aware, I am away from my models over the summer holidays. Fear not though, thanks to me saving a game I played a while ago, I can still bring you blistering EPIC action!
A while back Ben and I arranged a 4k game – his 1000 sons versus my eldar. Given that it was 4k, I thought I would push the boat out and take a Warlock titan. I tend to find a Warlock, while definitely a monster, a little bit too pricy for 3k. With the Warlock selected, the rest of the list pretty much took care of itself. I ended up taking:
3 x Guardian formations (2 w/ Wraithguard, 1 x Heavy Weapons)
1 x Shining Spears w/ Exarch and Autarch
2 x Void Spinners, 1 x Storm Serpent
2 x min-sized Rangers
Ben had decided to play his new Thousand Sons army, trying out the Neophyte formations and Land Raiders. He ended up taking:
1 x Scarab Occult w/ LRaiders, DPact, IBearer, Magister Templi
4 x Rubric Fellowship (3 w/ Rhinos, 4 DPacts, 3 IBearers)
2 x Neophyte formations
2 x Oracle Titans
Some Lesser Daemons
The game started with me trying to target the left hand flank – Voidspinner-ing some Neophytes, before finishing them off with a guardian assault out of the Storm Serpent. Ben responded by making the most of his Oracle titans, advancing them to start the process of killing my guardians. He moved some 1000 Sons on foot over toward the building the guardians had just occupied, eventually driving them out after a couple of engagements (Damn, I hate fearless armies!). Over on the right hand flank I was a bit unsure of my actions – Ben had advanced quite alot of formations including the Scarab Occult in Land Raiders over that way, and all I had was the Warlock and some Rangers. Still, scout screening until I got a chance, I launched the Warlock at the Occult – coming away damaged but victorious! Parts of the Occult managed to escape (Fearless!), and hid to deny me BTS and his supreme commander. The Warlock supported another engagement initiated by the Rangers in the middle of the board, destroying the second Neophyte formation, but being reduced to only 1 DC. The next turn, Ben cornered the Warlock, locking it between one of his Oracle titans and a flamer buffed Rubric formation, destroying the titan. The rest of the game was mop up really, with the big formations having been wiped out – I was desperately trying to kill his Magister Templi to get BTS – but his armour saves were impressive!
The game ended a draw (I think, correct me if I am wrong please, Ben)!
Better hope those Wraithguard make thier saves! Voidspinner lurks in the backfield 1000 Sons seize the high ground Guardians advance out of the Storm Serpent into cover on the left flank Face off! – The Warlock titan faces off against the Land Raiders and Scarab Occult 1000 Sons come knocking to evict the Guardian formation Ben’s 1000 Sons – I don’t think I would have the patience for all that gold trim! Limping Warlock get caught and dies 😦 Falcons shooting down Doomwings Hiding in 4+ cover next to my Blitz – I am not sure if these guys fired a shot all game

Imelda's voice floated through the air, carrying the emotions of loss, longing, and hope. As Imelda sang, creatures from near and far would gather around her cottage. Frogs croaked from lily pads, fireflies twinkled in the moonlight, and even the crocodile's jaws clamped shut, creating a surreal silence, as if the whole swamp held its breath. The song became a sort of anthem for the swamp, a reminder that there was beauty even in the darkest corners of the world. It brought together the different inhabitants who had never before crossed paths, creating a sense of unity and harmony. Imelda's captivating music had a transformative effect on the swamp. The waters seemed to shimmer brighter, the trees stood taller, and the flowers bloomed more vibrantly. It was as if the songs themselves had the power to awaken the magic within the swamp's soul. Over time, Imelda's reputation evolved from a feared witch to a beloved caretaker of the swamp. The creatures saw her not just as a sorceress, but as a guardian who protected their home and shared its wonders through her music. Imelda's song about the swamp became a legend, passed down through generations. Even after she was long gone, her melodies continued to echo in the hearts of the swamp's inhabitants. The song reminded them of Imelda's love for their home and her desire to bring joy to their lives. And so, the swamp continued to thrive with its enchanting melodies, each note a reminder that even in the darkest places, there is always a song waiting to be heard. Imelda's legacy lived on, forever intertwined with the magic of the swamp she called home..
