Goretim the Reddish decided it would be best for the Blood Siblinghood of the Slaughter-Gut-Pile Bloodbound Horde hole up for a bit and engage in some rest and relaxation. They all desperately needed a chance to recuperate and sharpen their axes... Unfortunately a pair of wandering Gargants caught the scent of their fresh snake-meats and attacked the Bloodbound in their own camp!
A pair of MEGA GARGANTS (and their two pet Frost Sabres) approach the Bloodbound camp!?
Were they siblings...?
Were they lovers...?
Were they an an anarcho-syndicalist commune that take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week (but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting!)...?
Perhaps all three...who can tell with the Sons (and DAUGHTERS!) of Behemet!?
The Bloodbound hurriedly mustered and stood ready to defend their encampment!
The male-presenting Warstomper Mega-Gargant approached from the Bloodbound's right...
The female-presenting-kraken-eating-mega-Gargant approached from the Bloodbound's left.
The Bloodreavers charged forward to distract the Warstomper, only for the ENTIRE UNIT to be swept away with one swing of his mighty club!?
While he was distracted, the Blood Warriors, Mighty Skullcrushers and Goretim the Reddish, himself, all charged in to try and fell this gargantuan beast!
The Claws of Karanak, like the Bloodreavers, were little more than the briefest of distractions...
The Warstomper hammered down hard on the Blood Warriors... but the remaining Blood Warriors and Mighty Skullcrushers kept on poking the beast in his feet and shin until the blood flowed freely - as Khorne expected...
The Kraken-Eater moved on and pummelled Bob Bloodblob into the ground...
The Warstomper hammered down hard on the Blood Warriors and knocked Goretim from his Juggernaut... but the remaining Blood Warriors and Mighty Skullcrushers so damaged his toes and shins that they made him run off, crying... Khorne cares not for the flowing of tears though... only blood... and he blood did flow...
The Kraken-Eater beat down the Khorgorath next and knocked the last Mighty Skullcrusher from his Juggernaut...
Then she seized some of the Bloodbound's supplies and started eating them... while smashing down Gob Bloodblob!
The two pet Frost Sabres also seized a cache of the Bloodbound's supplies. snarling viciously at any who approached... even the Mega-Gargants!
The two remaining Blood Warriors fled and seized a small pile of Emberstone shards!
Welp my run of victory for the Bloodbound was brief and short-lived and we were immediately back to losing... badly...
Bob Bloodblob healed Goretim the Reddish with his blood ceremony and Gob Bloodblob healed himself some. The Claws of Karanak joined the ranks of the Battlescarred, gaining Unyielding Blisters from being trampled into the scorching sands by a gargant.
I am starting to realize this campaign system is highly skewed to favour small elite armies - meaning armies with a small number of high-point-cost units. With the number of units I have, and only two heroes being allowed to heal units each game, I just CANNOT keep up with the managing of battlewounds - especially when being tabled nearly every game!
SIX of my eight units have at least one battle scar, and the Bloodreavers now have TWO!? Even the Mighty Skullcrushers, who I had been trying very hard to keep the battlewounds down on, now have smouldering scars, which means every game there is a chance they gain EXTRA battlewounds!? I don't think ANY of the other players have units with battlescars at this point...
Not sure what to do with the Five Emberstone Shards I've accumulated...
I have collected twenty-five in total, so I can start playing Gnaw's Edge Battleplans - if an opponent agrees - and slowly claw my way toward the campaign's final scenario! One of the players has to have accumulated 20 or more Emberstone shards to play a Gnaw's Edge Battleplan.
If at least one of the players in a game has WON a battle using a Gnaw's Edge Battleplan, the players may chose to play a Hateful Shores Battleplan... once there are two players in a game that have BOTH WON a Hateful Shores Battleplan, they may elect to play the Hel's Claw Battleplan - the FINAL BATTLE of the campaign. The first two win a Hel's Claw Battleplan is the winner of the campaign!
I think Matt (Stormcast Eternals) also has collected twenty or more Emberstone Shards.
We may get this wrapped up by the end of the year! Then maybe start Blighted Wilds in the new year!
