Lord Humungus stood at top of the battered armored truck. Though a old mike began to preach to the faithful; the road warriors, drifters, and murders of Barter Town. They listened in awe.
He preach that though him
every man will have food.
every man would have fuel.
every man will have Whores!
and when he had their undivided attention. Lord Humungus, Great Prophet of the Waste, the un- conquerable one, THE ALLATLOH of ROCK n' ROLLA preached of a sign from the heavens would be sent to lite their road to greatness.
...as if on cue.
A loud boom followed by long scar of black bellowing smoke and fire cut across the sky dropping out of view.
Lord Humungus not missing a beat.
"There my DOGS .... lets Fetch our Destiny!!"
with the sounds of battle cry's, random guns fired into the air and the load roar of engines. The men of Barter Town rode out to fellow the black scar across the sky and meet their fate head on.
on board the doomed Cartel security cruiser.
"MAY DAY..MAY DAY WE ARE UNDER DARK LEGION ATTACK."
"THIS THE CSC RONWELL WE ARE DARK...LEGION...ATTACK..
GONNA...CRASH ON EARTH....HELP US....."
on board the AZOGHAR.
The Necromutant captain was pleased. On the large sony view screen he watched the ships tubro blasters score a direct hit on the Cartel cruiser sending it crashing into the earth. He turned to his necrobiotic communications officer.
" Send a message to the Bleeding Prophet. Tell him the cartel ship was where he said it would be and that I'm sending down a force to retrieve what's left of it."

Phillysniper and I played the Falling Star scenario. As always it was blast playing him. What I like he comes to a game with plan at sticks to it , its Ususally a damn good plan.
the goal of the game was to get within 3'' of the crashed ship placed in the center. The one with the most points within 6 + a die roll turns wins.
the game was played on 2 tables. Faceing each other the long way.
strangely enough we both decide (without talk about before hand) to try armies neither one us ever played before and it turn out to be a weird mix.
he had a strong Close combat Dark Legion Force and I had My Mad max army loads of grunts
and vehiclals (fenris bikes, Necromowers...you get the idea). Though philly did have stalking units (very scary even for my trucks) at the end of the day the necromowers, bikes and cheap grunts ( never underestimate a cheap grunt with smg) proved to be to much for the all CC army.
Thoughts on the game.
Lots of fun. Desert enviroment rules are brutal (level 6)
I had guys collapse (right when they disembark from my vermin to boot) other units fall into sinkholes.
funnest is seeing the slaughter master drop from the desert heat
I got really lucky if I was playing anything else philly list would be evil.
as it was I had units that can fire and move. With the ultra change I was able to really wear out his troops and my loads of grunts were able to claim the prize.
Also it was neat seeing how other people play the game. at maplewood we are use to playing one way while others have slightly different take.
Philly thanks for coming down to jersey
hope you had fun, and that I see you and the rest of gang down the road one day.
hopefully he'll post and share his thoughts on the game
and ways I can make running games of warzone at maplewood better.
*************************************************************************
On one side Dark Legion.
An army of monsters, fanatic cultist and things better left unsaid.
With an Unholy cry to their dark masters they march foward.
The other side. The harden road warriors of Barter Town.
Tempered by the harsh realities of Dark Eden.
Led by Lord Humungus.
On bikes and battered trucks they ride.
in the center what's left of the CSC RONWELL. The ship split in half from the crash.
everyone dead or dying....except one.
The battle raged. Bikers surged forward cutting down everything in their way, man and monster alike.
Agents of evil appeared out of nowhere. Dripping red with blood from the carnage they caused.
For hours they fought but in the end it was the guns and will of the men from Barter Town that won. What they didn't kill fled to what ever dark hole they came from.
They began to loot the wreak ship when one of the men called out to Lord Humungus that found something of interest. This part of wreck was an intact section of several a joining rooms.
he pointed to one with its door ajar.
"that one Lord Humungus."
Lord Humungus step up and open the door. Inside, in the center of tossed remains of the room was little dark skinned Girl unhurt and un-phased by the day's events. Humungus first thought was she make fine trade...after the men were done with her ( he almost giggled to himself ). Reaching in to claim her as his he made eye contact...he stop moving... "why am I stopping"..those eyes..."who is this whore!!" he yelled , everyone around him stopping in their tracks.
"Help me out here." the little girl said in a little girl voice.
Lord Humungus did as he was told, pick her up as gentle as he could...it was those eyes...he had no choice. in those eyes lay the fate of everything. He felt it in his bones, though her laid his destiny and more.
"You ask me who I 'am"
"I'll tell you. I'm the one who would change the face of EDEN!"
" Take me to my new home."
no one questioned her, why should they. This was heavens gift to the earth alone. With out it being said They all knew it. There was no dout. just being close to her some thing was different that no one could put their finger on. Maybe it's something in the air around her..maybe it was them. being near her makes them a little different somehow.
The men of Barter Town plus one girl rode back home
and nothing will ever be the same again.
.....it would be a few years but road warriors would come to call her
Auntie.
