WAAGH! Drillteef

Previously on the Raid on Pakeshi IV: After successfully claiming the world of Shatara, Mad Dok Drillteef has sent a splinter force to raid the world of Pakeshi IV. The local PDF failed to completely repel the Ork invasion, but they have been assisted by the fortunate presence of some  Blood Ravens Space Marines. The system’s Imperial Commander, Celia Falkes and her subordinates still have no idea what either the Orks or the Space Marines are doing on her world. Pakeshi IV is little more than a huge chemical reclamation facility supporting the gas giant mining operations throughout the system. The Blood Ravens are commanded by a young Librarian by the name of Djalix T’sorg. ~ * ~ His state of being had evolved beyond simple annoyance. Codicer T’sorg and his men had been fighting Orks for days. The city they defended lay at the center of a sprawling chemical reclamation facility. The Orks had breached the initial physical defense provided by the surrounding chemical lakes a...

We have been playing a campaign in which WAAGH! Drillteef is assaulting key locations in the Pakeshi Sector in search of information leading to their ability to summon forth Tuska onto the field of battle. This battle report details the Orks raids within the city proper itself, both as a distraction and with minor objectives in mind.. This Narrative Battle Report first appeared on Episode 32 of Masters of the Forge . ~ * ~ Codicer Djalix T’song was annoyed. The Orks were a menace to be sure, but his annoyance overwhelmed any other emotions the Imperial Creed demanded of him. The Orks had followed them from Shatara to Pakeshi IV. Certainly the Orks wouldn’t be in search of the same thing as they, so their presence must be attributed to terrible luck. To lose one system to overwhelming force was one thing, but to allow a splinter group get a foothold in a neighboring system was a blow to honor that he couldn’t allow. This compounded T’song’s annoyance. There was no extric...

We have been playing a campaign in which WAAGH! Drillteef is assaulting key locations in the Pakeshi Sector in search of information leading to their ability to summon forth Tuska onto the field of battle. This story details the Orks' landing on the planet and their initial assault. This Narrative Battle Report first appeared on Episode 28 of Masters of the Forge . ~ * ~ Captain Nedry Blaise hadn’t quite gotten used to the acrid odor of the Pakeishi IV chem fields. The atmospheric scrubbers dotting the region’s landscape worked day and night to counter the outgassing of chlorine and other dangerous substances from the world’s massive standing pools of waste chemicals. While the air was technically breathable, they did little to negate the smell and, nevertheless, many of the rank-and-file wore gas masks which they were required to purchase with their own meager stipend. They were not provided as standard kit, though, as the need for a mask was negligible if a soldier di...

We have been playing a campaign in which WAAGH! Drillteef is assaulting key locations in the Pakeshi Sector in search of information leading to their ability to summon forth Tuska onto the field of battle. The first stage of this conflict is Shatara. This Narrative Battle Report first appeared on Episode 26 of Masters of the Forge . ~ * ~ The remnants of the WAAGH! Drillteef flotilla prowled the Pakeshi sector. It was an ornery lioness stalking a cage, daring anyone to test its mettle. Of course, although these Orks had chosen to stay with Mad Doc, many of the warlords under his banner had done so only to bide time until they could ultimately assume control themselves. Drillteef had to strike fast. Drillteef and his chief advisor, Big Mek Skar ‘Ead had grand designs within the Pakeshi sector which he kept secret from most of his generals, though it was really meaningless. Any fight would do at this point and he set his intentions on the Shatara system. Shatara is a lones...
