Vlad and Isabella had spent a millennia in happiness until the Age of Chaos began and Nurgle wanted his once prized possesion back.Hunted through the realms the Von Carsteins had eluded Nurgle's grasp but now they've been found hiding in a small village and Nurgle has sent the Glottkin to go get her.



Death

Vlad Von Carstein
Isabella Von Castein



Death win a minor victory if Isabella isn't converted or slain after 6 turns or a major victory if both Vlad and Isabella are still alive after 6 turns

Rotbringers

Glottkin
Gutrot Spume
Lord of Plagues
Rotbringer Scorcerer
2x5 Blightkings



Rotbringers win a minor victory if both Vampires are slain and a major victory if Isabella is converted.I used Nurglings method of converting so an attacker can forgo damage and instead add whatdamge they would have done plus a d6 and if it beats Isabella's bravery she is converted.

Wow, what an amazing bat rep! One of my favorite AOS reports ever.

I loved the set up and the idea the two Von Carsteins were in some backwater village when they chose to make their last stand against the Glotkin (the villagers must have been in for a surprise!)

Also love that they had to summon their entire army to stop the Nurgle approach.

I've been eyeing up those Conflix buildings for a while too. I think I may have to get some :-)

Great report man!

Cool scenario, very fluffy. They make the best missions, Imo.

Thanks for the kind words

I really like them but if I'm honest they are too small for GW miniature size.I'm trying to find someone else who does nice pre painted fantasy houses

Great scenario and an awesome report, thanks for sharing such a cool game

This is easily the first time that summoning in AOS has made sense to me and totally worked to enhance the game itself (as well as its narrative), rather than just being a handful of unclear rules that help one side win. Bravo.

This is super amazing!!!
