Time for a classic, of sorts. This Battleplan popped up way back in Battletome: Khorne Bloodbound but, because of the models involved, we are only just getting to it now. This is actually quite an interesting battle, in terms of background, as it takes place right before the Age of Sigmar audio dramas. If you want to know what Mannfred was up to before the Stormcasts found him, read on!


The Story So Far
Within the Realm of Death, Exalted Deathbringer Vrak Brazenfist led his Skullfiend tribe Bloodbound deep into the Gulf of Regrets, hoping to find enough skulls to get Khorne to recognise him. However, poking about in the Realm of Death is rarely healthy, and as they started hewing their way through legions of skeletons, they were unaware that dark eyes were watching them.

The Skullfiend tribe eventually fought their way to a Dragonfate Dais, and here they mounted a solid defence as wave upon wave of the dead crashed against them. The skeletons were soon joined by more powerful creatures – wights, wraiths and Black Knights, all watched from the edge of the courtyard by their master, Mannfred von Carstein, Mortarch of Night.
