...and one more that was too big.

Dang that's some great stuff.
Thanks so much you guys!

I kind of feel like the Quar should be an official faction in 40k now. Or at least Josh should sculpt up some Quar from a modern or sci-fi setting.

Quar could reasonably be a proxy of the new League of Votann, which are just Starcraft Space Dwarves. Quar being tough, short and kind of slow with good firepower, makes a lot of sense.

Looks Epic! Wish I could have joined. Looking forward to being at the next game night!

James and Mattias,
I'm putting the battle report together today. I'm not going to do a point-by-point battle report as the pictures are a bit sporadic, but I'll outline the course of the battle.

No pressure, but if you guys would like to contribute, I'd love to hear your opinions of the game and the rules system. I think you two are coming from interestingly different gaming perspectives and preferences.

Also, Mattias, if you want to do a narrative intro and/or outro I always welcome that.

Yeah, I don't really follow any of the established lore, as my own sci-fi headcannon is very much "out there".

In my imaginary galaxy, the Quar are an extremely doughty people from the Squaim system (we would have been fighting Karl on the arid sands of Squaim II). Much of their pre-galactic history is dominated by a warring states period between their feudal houses, during which they refined a culture of muddy, grinding, pointless conflict. When they were discovered by the Galactic Government of the 1st Magnifex, therefore, they were rapidly incorporated into the galactic armed forces and the main export of Squaim became extremely dogged and hardy regular infantry soldiers. It wasn't long before the Quar became the cornerstone of the military might of of the Magnifex, with the different high houses of Squaim vying with each other for greater military glory.

This means that when galactic civil war sparked off on Tanjar IV in the year 421 A.P.E. (After Perforation of Earth), the Squaimish arm of the galactic military fractured along the lines of their houses. Mostly they were split between the Phreemians (Loyalists of the 5th Magnifex, Wabanxia Phreem), and the Galactic Neo-Statists (who want to reduce the Magnifex to a figurehead. Like, literally—the Neo-statists want to encase Wabanxia Phreem in hypercrystal as an evocative piece of sculpture to decorate the prow of their flagship, the G.S.S. Chromium Fist.)

My specific force represents the 73rd Tanjaran Heavy Assault Brigade under High Commander Quarbelqwek. It is composed of a coalition of houses that broke loyalist during the civil war, and still bears the name in recognition of their part in that conflict (even though Tanjar IV itself is largely now a blasted waste). You can tell they are from Tanjar because they make use of Tanjaran Heavy Hover Tanks, one-of-a-kind creations of the Tankwrights for which the Tanjar system is famous.

hope that answers your question
