Cradle of Despair - getting closer

I've almost finished all the mission maps and briefing pages, with four left to go. After that I've got to finish painting dudes (and scenery) so I can take some photos, write background for each mission, and write the prologues (each final mission will have 2-3 different ending blurbs).


Here's a pic of the campaign tree - purple is Genestealer victory, blue Marine victory, white a draw. I've worked it so the missions make sense from a background point of view regardless of which way you come from it.
For example Hybrid Hunt is a mission where the Marines must kill hybrids before they can escape. This is played as either loosing Cold Embrace by failing to destroy the cryo chambers, or by winning Stalemate by forcing the hybrids out by killing enough of their purestrain 'guards'.
Each mission will have a short story type intro detailing its purpose and the marines involved.


Busy busy busy!

I've also got rules for Techmarines, Chaplains, new wargear and a few other bits and pieces.
