On planet "could-not-be-bothered-to-name", there lies a hill. A hill upon which many things happen. One of those things, was the sudden appearance of a stockpile of OT.
With an OT pile such as this, of course there are going to be those fighting over it. Today, it was the Shades Brigade and the Trattorian Wanderers. (ignore the mandos, they don't end up getting used despite plans for them)
With this treasure of OT, these two new factions could kick-start their brikwars legacy with a bang. Are you ready to find out who comes out victorious?
Couldn't do much of an intro for this bc I deleted the photos I was going to use for it by mistake like an idiot. Anyway, there's some baseplates at the sides with cover where everyone spawned in, some cover in the midfield (not shown here), and ofc the objective of the OT stockpile. Hope y'all enjoy this little battle report!

Brikwars KoTH type thing: turn 1
The first turn kicks off with the Wanderers winning the initiative. A rifleman drone decides to sprint toward the hill but ends up just short of the ramp he intends to climb.
just about there buddy, maybe a couple more inches and you coulda made it!
Doc chooses to climb up the side instead. Not enough move to make said climb however.
Next turn doc. Next turn.
The charger, well, charges into battle. And of course screams as loud as his voice modulator will allow him.
charger- BROOTAAAAAAAAAAAALZ!!!
Lex- The fuck? Is it just me or did that drone just yell brootalz?
He then enacts a definitely impractical but totally cool superhero landing.
charger- I'M COMIN FOR YA OVER THERE YA GITS!
Trigger- Okay yeah that drone's trying to be a brootal.
Lex- This could be a problem...
The last drone runs out of cover and toward the midfield to get stuck in.
You got this metal man, you got this, run as fast as those little cone legs will carry you.
The Shades Brigade finally gets to make their move, starting with Switch having the same idea as Doc to climb the hill.
Two guys gunning for KoTH now, who's gonna get it?
Orange doesn't give two shits about the hill, he just wants to get stuck in as quickly as possible.
Not quite at midfield yet buddy, next turn you'll make it.
Trigger runs toward midfield as well.
Trigger- Lex, wanna tag along?
He tags along.
Lex- You got a plan Trigger?
Trigger- Yeah. Lay into that drone with the axe with everything we got.
Lex- Let's do it.
The two fire upon the charger, one shot goes through, the other doesn't quite make the roll.
charger- YOU FUCKS! I'M PUMMELLING YOU FOR THAT!!!
Lex- I'd like to see you try.
OVERWATCH:
hill status: uncontrolled
SB kills: none so far
TW kills: same as above
Stay tuned for turn 2 of this battle!

Brikwars KoTH type thing: turn 2
This drone makes it into cover.
And shoots at trigger. The gun jams.
Might need to get Vickers to take a look at it later.
The charger reluctantly makes his way up the slope. Doctor's orders.
Doc- *various r2-d2-like beeps*
Charger- BUT THEY'RE CLOSE ENOUGH TO CHARGE!!
Doc- *assertive beep*
Charger- FINE!! fuckin... Doctor's orders my shiny metal ass...
This drone finally makes it to midfield and takes a shot. The shot just bounces off Trigger's shades somehow.
Trigger- Damn Lex where'd you get these shades!? They're invincible!
Lex- No comment.
Trigger- Typical.
Doc makes his way up the hill.
And ends up just shy of the OT.
Doc- *Disappointed beeps*
Switch makes his way up too.
And ends up right next to the charger.
Switch- Uh... Hey there big guy?
Charger- YOU MADE A BIG MISTAKE CO-
The charger is summarily Sparta kicked before he can finish.
Switch- Yeah, don't wanna hear it.
Charger- YOU FUCK!!!
He then slides down the hill into his buddy.
They wind up disrupted on the ground.
Charger- JUST WAIT TILL I GET UP IMMA BROOTALIZE EVERY LAST ONEA YA!!!
Orange takes the chance to rev his chainsaw for a kill.
Charger- Oi, you hear a chainsaw revving?
Rifleman- *confused beep*
Charger- Don't tell me Vickers didn't give y-
He gets interrupted a second time when his head is lopped off. He lets out one last scream
Charger- YOU FUUUUUUUCK!!!
Orange- *grunts*
Trigger attempts to shoot the downed rifleman.
He critfails and his gun explodes.
Trigger- FUCK.
Lex also attempts to get a shot off.
He also critfails and the dice attacks him.
Lex- Where the fuck did that even come from!?
OVERWATCH:
Hill status: contested (TW closer though)
SB kills: 1 drone chainsawed
TW kills: none still
Turn 3 coming up! Stay tuned to find out if the critfails continue.

Brikwars KoTH type thing: turn 3
Turn 3 kicks off with Doc getting closer to the OT.
He then successfully gets a shot off on Switch, knocking him down a wound.
That's gonna hurt.
This guy's gun jams again.
Rifleman- *irritated sigh*
This guy gets up and tries to shoot orange but his gun jams too.
Vickers should definitely work on those guns...
The two instead engage in melee, the drone blocking the first hit.
That's one resilient rifle.
Lex gets up off his handsome ass after the dice attacked him.
Lex- Fuckin dice I tell ya... Showing up to fuck with you and fucking off just as quickly after.
He is not happy.
After collecting himself, he tries to shoot the rifleman again.
It's another critfail. He loses his grip on his gun. Also Trigger ran by earlier to grab the charger's axe but I forgot to take pics.
Lex- WHAT THE- WHY IS MY HAND COVERED IN BUTTER!?
Looks like the dice might've done it before vanishing to ruin someone else's day.
Switch lets off a retaliatory shot. It unfortunately bounces off Doc's armour plating.
Switch- Ah shit.
Doc- *angry beep*
Switch- I have literally no fuckin clue what that even means.
OVERWATCH:
Hill status: Trattorian Wanderers have priority still.
SB kills: still just that 1 drone.
TW kills: still none, cmon guys.
This concludes turn 3, look forward to next turn.

Brikwars KoTH type thing: turn 4
These two are still duking it out. The drone makes an unsuccessful downward slash. (please pretend trigger isn't there he's not supposed to be there yet, I just took this pic for this drone's turn after everyone else made theirs)
Not this time buddy.
This guy tries to get another shot off. Will it jam a third time?
It does.
Rifleman- *angry robot noises*
Doc tries to shoot Switch again but critfails and his arm falls off.
Awkward.
Doc- *robotic whimper*
Trigger makes it to the axe and swipes it up.
Trigger- this looks like it could do some damage!
He eyes up the drone in front of him.
Trigger- You're next buddy.
You can stop pretending he isn't there now, he's there now.
Lex makes a run for his gun.
Then takes aim at that rifleman again but finds no ammo in his gun.
Lex- Don't tell me that fuckin dice took my mag...
It did.
Switch fires on Doc but accidentally "switches" (heh) to high explosive thanks to some bennies.
Doc loses his head while Switch saves a benny for later.
Switch- Holy shit I did not know this thing could do that.
Orange makes another attack but is again blocked by the rifle.
Orange- *annoyed grunt*
OVERWATCH:
hill status: Shades Brigade has taken control
SB kills: 2 drones now.
TW kills: seriously guys? still no kills?
Final turn coming up! Will we see more overkill from switch? Will the Tratts finally get a kill? Who knows? Stay tuned to find out!

Brikwars KoTH type thing: FINALE
Here we are at the final turn. The Tratts' final chance to turn things around. These guys continue their melee.
A stab is swiftly dodged.
Orange's fancy footwork prevails.
This guy tries one final time to kill Lex. Surely you can't jam your gun 4 times in a row?
You can. He throws his gun away in anger.
Rifleman- *enraged robot noises*
Orange makes a slash attack of his own but is blocked again.
This melee has dragged on a bit long.
Trigger seems to think so too as he lunges toward the drone, some fleshy tendrils appearing to help him out.
All eyes are on trigger. Can he make the rolls?
Success! The drone's head is lopped clean off with a spatter of oil.
Switch puts this guy out of his misery with another lucky high explosive shot.
Switch- HOLY SHIT THIS THING IS AWESOME
FINAL OVERWATCH:
Hill status: Shades Brigade maintains control.
SB kills: All hostiles eliminated.
TW kills: Not a single fucking drone got a kill.
This concludes the final turn! Epilogue to follow.

Brikwars KoTH type thing: epilogue
After a long skirmish with the Trattorian Wanderers over a stockpile of OT, the Shades Brigade comes out on top. Lex makes his way up the hill to Switch, the stockpile safe and secure.
Trigger- I'm telling ya Orange, this thing beats chainsaws any day.
Orange- *shakes head as if to disagree*
Trigger- Oh come on. The tiny thing can't even reach far. You gotta get something like this.
As Lex approaches, Switch turns to greet him.
Switch- Hey boss. The stockpile is safe and secure.
Lex- Glad to hear. You did a good job taking it on your own.
Switch- Thanks boss.
Lex inspects the stockpile, Switch continuing the conversation.
Switch- So what can we do with this stuff?
Lex- Not a lot, but it's a start. Even a pile as small as this could be used for something big.
Switch- Like what?
Lex- Something I'd rather not be on the receiving end of.
The topic of the conversation changes as Lex walks to one of the barricades to observe the battlefield.
Lex- Any idea what those drones were that attacked us?
Switch- I don't know boss. They certainly weren't Trattorian anymore, that shit got cancelled didn't it?
Lex- Yeah. It did. These guys must've been remnants.
Switch joins him and they look at the pile of dead drones gathered at the foot of the hill.
Switch- Remnants huh... Wonder how they came back online.
Lex- Probably someone with knowledge of how they work.
Trigger- Honestly Orange I don't see what all the fuss is about. Look how intimidating it is too. Although it's not nearly as intimidating as the way you're approaching me, what's with that look on your face? Was it something I said?
Orange busts Trigger's nuts to finish off a debate while the others continue their conversation.
Trigger- HURK
Lex- Whoever reactivated those drones, had plans for this OT.
Switch- Good thing we'll never find out right?
Lex- I dunno. I kinda wanna find the guy now.
Lex makes his way toward the ramp to return to the Brigade's jeep, while Orange leaves trigger on the ground in pain.
Trigger- You sonuvabitch why...
Lex- Get this pile ready to load onto the jeep, I'm gonna bring it around.
Switch- You got it boss.
Lex- And maybe help your brother into the jeep too, looks like he pissed Orange off again.
Switch- Right. God dammit Trigger...
After the Shades Brigade gathered up the OT, and departed in the jeep, all that was left was a seemingly unimportant, seemingly useless hunk of metal.
A mysterious figure approaches.
???- There it is. Those shades sporting morons have no clue what they've just given me.
He picks up the object.
???- Finally, the first piece of the puzzle is mine.
Another mysterious figure questions the object.
gold-faced figure- That's what we've been looking for? Just looks like a hunk of metal to me.
???- My friend you have no idea.
The green visored stranger reveals the object's identity. A nova sword.
???- With this nova sword, my plan for revenge can begin at last.
gold-faced figure- Give me a break. Revenge? That never ends well you know.
Goldie walks off as his buddy monologues.
???- All I need to do is to locate the forge and mould this nova sword into something more. And I know just where to find the OT I need to do it.
gold-faced figure- Whatever. Don't blame me if this all falls apart just like before.
The stranger's identity is revealed, an old friend turned enemy has returned to haunt a certain shades-sporting minifig.
Eyepatch- That bastard Lex will get what's coming to him, mark my words. I WILL NOT FAIL THIS TIME!
gold-faced figure- That's what they all say.
Eyepatch continues his monologuing as Goldie makes his way back to their shuttle.
Eyepatch- SOON I WILL HAVE ALL I NEED TO FINALLY ATTAIN THE POWER OF A QUANTUMSURFER! AND THAT BASTARD MCSHADES AND HIS MORONIC ENTOURAGE OF SHADES-SPORTING DICKWEEDS WILL FEEL WHAT I FELT WHEN THEY EXILED ME AND LEFT ME FOR DEAD!! THIS BRIKVERSE WILL BE MINE!!! *maniacal, completely insane evil laughter ensues*
In time, this villain's name will be revealed, and Lex will soon discover he has more to worry about than just a bunch of Trattorian remnants. Will this eyepatch-sporting villain be able to succeed? Who knows. All will be answered in due time. But for now, the Shades Brigade's legacy in this post-ragnablok Brikverse, has only just begun.
Trigger- I'm telling ya Orange, this thing beats chainsaws any day.
Orange- *shakes head as if to disagree*
