After losing much of the armies supplies to the hungry, wandering Gargants, Goretim the Reddish bade his Slaughterpriests to beseech their lord Khorne to aid in the provisioning of the Bloodbound Horde! Reading the entrails of a slaughtered Gorepigeon, the Slaughterpriests claimed Khorne had gifted them with visions and they would find all they needed near a sea cave along the coast... and so they marched!
Near a sea cave, along the coast they did indeed come upon an army encampment full of provisions... unfortunately, the army was in the camp... and were not the least bit surprised by the army's approach!
Furthermore, it was their nemesis, the hated Soulblights... AGAIN!?
On the right flank, the Mighty Skullcrushers of the Red Path charged forth and trampled a picket of skeletal warriors guarding barrels FULL of blood! Khorne would be pleased!
The Mighty Skullcrusher were unable to secure their treasure, however, as a squadron of Blood Knights charged in from one flank and a Purple Sun of Shyish - summoned by the foul soulblight vampire - assailed their other flank!
The Blood Warriors secured a trover of Emberstone.
In the center, the newly recruited Ogroid Myrmidon sought to earn his pay and charged forth with his new friend the Korgorath, and secured a herd of pigs the enemy had gathered for "provisions"... they were followed on by a the cultists of the Claws of Karanak!
Not far away, the Vengorian Lord and a Terrorgheist noted their approach!
The two charged in and ran into a pair of Hex-Gorger Skulls, summoned by Bob Bloodblob... the Terrorgheist annihilated the two floating skulls (that were DEFINITELY NOT MAGICAL!)
Then the Vengorian Lord swooped in on the Ogroid Myrmidon and Khorgorath, knocking them on their asses and sending them scurrying away from the field of battle (each with a pig under each arm, though!)
The Bloodreavers charged in to aid the Claws of Karanak in holding back the Terrorgheist and Vengorian Lord, while the last of the pigs were removed to their rear for later slaughter and feasting!
The two monstrous creatures slashed and chomped at the bloodbound warriors, dealing horrific wounds.
Soon there were only two of the Bloodbound warriors remaining to distract them as the rest fled with their prizes (and dragged off the wounded)
The two, affectionately known as Mr Squigly-Wiggley and Rock-Paw - for their respective mutations bestowed upon them by the Lord of Blood... these two heroes, held back the mighty beasts as long as they could, before they, too, were swatted aside and trampled underfoot. When they later made their way back to the bloodbound camp, broken and bleeding, they were healed and fêted by their comrades...
Orion was back in town a bit early for the holidaze as the last few days of work were cancelled due to the blizzard that swept into Saskatchewan on Wednesday! Thursday we played a game, and then Friday she had another game lined up with Matt.
I gained SIX Emberstone Shards from playing this game... I had some leftover in the vault from previous games. I spend three to recruit the Mindstealer Sphiranx into my Slaves to Darkness Regiment. Another three were used to give Goretim the Reddish the Spiteful Spark Heroic Trait (from the Ravaged Coast book) because... why not? Totally buffing that bully to the MAX! I was seriously tempted by Ar'Gath, the King of Blades (which disallows an enemy hero from using any ward saves when fighting the hero with Ar'Gath!) but I already HAD an Artifact of Power for Goretim (which I'd bought after Game Four and COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT AND NEVER USED!?). Finally I spent the last two shards advancing the Mighty Skullcrushers along the Path of Brazen Butchery and giving them the Soul-Eating Rage ability (-1 from ward rolls for enemy unit while in combat with the Mighty Skull-Crushers)
I suggested that since there were just the four of us (Sean, Matt, Orion, and myself) playing in this campaign, rather than rushing to see who can be the first two to win a Hateful Shores scenario and then play the Raid on Hell's Claw to win the campaign, I suggested a four-player MEGA BATTLE for sometime next week to determine the victor - and everyone agreed!! All agreed and I shall be hosting that on MONDAY!!
It will be exciting to see all four forces on the table - one from each of the Grand Alliances; Sons of Bebemat/Destruction, Soulblight Gravelords/Death, Stormcast Eternals/Order, and Blades of Khorne/Chaos!
