The Fall of BOD Campaign and a New Setting

Alas all good things come to an end. Such as it was with BOD, the Gorkamorka Like world that was home to our favorite warboss, Decskull. 

After initially surviving the initial tyranid invasion, as detailed in the Battle of BOD, the orks were able to live in relative "peace" for a while, fighting each other, racing in the desert, and other fun. But eventually the Tyranids came back big time in the form of a massive infestation that got worse and worse. Here is the highlight reel from our family's 40K 3rd Edition campaign. 

1. Da Brewhouse Bash! The tyranids attack an isolated brewhouse at night. Orks win!

2. Into the Mines: Decskull leads a warband to destroy a tyranid infestation deep in the mines beneath a mountain. Tyranids win. 

3. The Battle for BOD Town: The tyranids launch an all out assault on BOD Town. Using genestealer tunnels to great effect, the Tyranids win!

4. Stoppin Dem: Deprived of the fuel refineries of BOD town, the orks desperately try to halt the tyranid horde before reaching da uver town. Tyranids win. 

5. Defense of Da Uver Town: The tyranids smash through the ork defenses using hormagaunts to great effect. Tyranids win. 

6. Decskull's last stand: Decskull, his custom made battlewagon and  the surviving orks make a last stand in his massive fort, (depicted in my earlier post). The battle came down to a one on one fight between Decskull and a Hive Tyrant. Sadly, Decskull did not prevail, and BOD passes away into the history books, another morsel for a growing tyranid threat. C 950 M41. 

Outcome: Major Victory, Tyranids!

Next up we'll move to a new setting, C 500 M41 in Segmentum Pacificus, on another isolated ork world. This time, we'll focus even more on orky mini games!
