In their attempt to escape the blasphemous lightning-bloods, the Blood Siblinghood of the Slaughter-Gut-Pile struggled through clouds of steam and ash from the surrounding volcanic activity, that filled the valleys between the mountains of the Adamantine....
Suddenly out of a steam and ash loomed another force - Daughters of Khaine - the snake-ladies of Morathi, fellow worshippers of blood who revel in its flow. Goretim the Reddish decided it was imperative that they engage these similarly sanguinary aficionados in a vigorous debate about the relative strengths and weaknesses of their respective blood deities and sacred rites.
Bob Bloodblob summoned some Hexgorger Skulls right away - to help block the advance of the Melusai...
All advance along the rocky valley.
The Korgorath was sent ahead to secure a site that likely contained more Emberstone...
While Gob Bloodblob tried to extract some Emberstone that was just laying in the open...
Unfortunately the lot, exposed to air, combusted and burned Gob severely!
the Blood Warriors awaited the charge of the snek-ladies.
The initial charge fell upon the Korgorath, however... and the mighty beast was cut down...
A second group of Melusai charged the Blood Warriors.
Still more surged towards the Bloodreavers.
The Hexgorger skulls poured boiling blood on the Melusai, but rather than being scorched and horrified by the experience as others were, they revelled in the experience...
The Mighty Skullcrushers moved in to ride down the few that survived the melee with the Blood Warriors.
Bless their rotten blood-pumping hearts, those Bloodreavers tried... But in actuality, the best they could do was spill their OWN blood... and distract the Blood Sisters while Goretim the Reddish charged in for the slaughter...
Having ridden down one group of Melusai stragglers, the Mighty Skullcrushers awaited a vicious counter-attack by the Melusai Ironscale and MORE Blood Sisters... While Gob Bloodblod fled the Blood Sisters he was CERTAIN were going to chase HIM down..
The Bloodwrack Medusa leading the force, hearing the cries of her sisters, came to investigate and provide what support she could...
She charged Goretim the Reddish!
The Mighty Skullcrushers crushed the skull of the Melusai Ironscale... but were unseated from their juggernauts by the Blood Sisters... at least the few who survived...
Goretim then rode in to finish off the Blood Sisters... only to be unseated from his own Juggernaut, by showers of arrows from the Blood Stalkers...
Bob Bloodbloob Summoned MORE Hex-Gorger Skulls and sent then forth to distract the Blood Stalkers, giving him a chance to recover the wounded and staunch their wounds - only that they may cause the enemies blood to flow at some future battle!
The Hex-Gorger Skulls were only the briefest of distractions... The Blood Stalkers held on and covered the retreat of their wounded Blood Sisters as they slinked away, having ceded the field of battle to the followers of Khorne!
I'm getting WAY behind on posting game reports! I only have one other Age of Sigmar report to finish and I'm caught up with those... but I'm a MONTH behind on Cursed City, and have a half-written Bolt Action report from... OCTOBER!?
Last Wednesday Sean came by with his Daughters of Khaine force to try them out in the Ravaged Coast campaign... He'd initially started with a Nurgle force, but having been tabled on the first turn by Matt's terrifying Stormcast Eternals, he decided to switch things up... of course, after this game, he was thinking of switching things up AGAIN!
My first "victory" in this campaign!
The Victory was Pyrrhic at best... yes... I gained a four more Emberstone Shards... but SO MANY units accumulating SO MANY Battle Wounds which just cannot be healed fast enough means almost all of my units have at least one Battle Scar... Some now have two - and they just get worse and worse...
I initially had another game with Matt scheduled for Thursday, but he was sick and had to cancel... I did play against Sean again on Friday... but he brought a different force!
I've also had games scheduled to play with Amanda in our own little campaign... but those just keep getting cancelled... We were supposed to play TONIGHT... but that one's now been cancelled... we've rescheduled for Sunday, hopefully; we will FINALLY get to play again at that time - and try out the Gossamid Archers!!
I might have two more Ravaged Coast games this week! I initially wanted to just play ONE game... and had one scheduled with Sean again for Friday... but now Orion's going to be in town for the day, so I'm trying to reschedule game with Sean of Thursday so I can play Orion on Friday...? We shall see...
Hopefully I'll get the other Age of Sigmar - Ravaged Coast game report done later today and at least be all caught up on those before playing any more!!
