Our first game of our Zone Mortalis campaign, Incursion in Lucky Space, kicks off. In this battle report, the Daemons of Tzeentch led by their sorcerous master have knocked out the void shields and the gellar field of the Rogue Trader vessel, Hubris of Saint Uther. As such, the ship is becalmed in realspace while the enemy invades their middens. Can the small force of Voidsmen hold the Neverborn back?
