With Balance of Power complete, we are taking a quick break from the heavyweight campaign books (Godbeasts is next!) to find out what else has been going on in the Mortal Realms during this time. And we are not starting small, either – we are beginning with a titanic clash in the Realm of Metal.

The Story So Far
The Tyrant of Eyes, one of the Gaunt Summoners under Archaon’s command, had been tasked with opening the Palladhor, a Realmgate that linked Chamon directly to the Realm of Chaos, a highly strategic point in the ongoing war. However, it had long since been sealed and required complex rituals to unlock its magicks.

Unfortunately for the Tyrant, the Seraphon had been watching his efforts and arrived to stop him, in force. As the Slann Starmaster began working his own castings, the two engaged in a sorcerous duel from which only one could survive, throwing magical energies at one another while simultaneously trying to influence the Palladhor – one intent on keeping it sealed, the other working hard to open it.

Seeing the duel was balanced on a fine edge, Archaon himself flew into the fray, leading a large Chaos force against the Seraphon in pitched battle, intent on slaying the Slann Starmaster and leaving his Gaunt Summoner free to continue his work.

Great battle as always. Cant help but feel it was a bit one sided however...

Really? Towards which army?

Might've been me not focussing on the pictures, but the Chaos really seem to pound the lizards. It was an uphill battle as soon as they got into combat IMO.

Not trying to put you down, it was still a spectacle to read!

Well, the lizards dominated the centre of the battlefield, and managed to reach the Bastion (albeit with a bunch of Skinks) on the left. It was on the right they were most pressured, with Archaon and the Varanguard leading a bunch of Knights and Warriors - and anyone is going to bend under that! However, who kills what is actually irrelevant in this battle, as it all rests on the two wizards, and neither survived. The Seraphon lost because they killed the Gaunt Summoner a turn too late is all!
