The forces of Order have launched their assault upon the Ironwarp Citadel and managed to gain entry – but the Khornate defenders are going to have something to say about that…

The Story So Far
The Stormcasts’ attack on the Ironwarp Citadel was now in full swing, with breaches made all along its walls. However, the Stormcasts were holding onto this ground by their fingernails as more and more of the Bloodbound rallied to throw back the beseigers.

However, the Ironwarp Citadel was of particular interest to the Fyreslayers, as it protected one of the Great Tethers, massive chains that reached up into the sky to hold the whole floating island under the Godbeast Ignax. One Runeson, Volgrov Borrson, possessed Auriakh, the Father Rune of Binding. He hoped he would be able to slip past the Khorne defenders, climb the huge links of the chain, and hammer the rune into Ignax, hopefully thwarting the plans of the Everchosen to bind the Godbeast to his will.

This would rely on the forces of Order not only holding onto the territory they gained, but forging ahead deeper into the Ironwarp Citadel.

Great game Matt again.

The Pyroclasm comes up fairly frequently recently, what are the rules for it?

It is on the Ashlands Time of War sheet.

Basically, it is a big sentient firestorm. You can either try to appease it with a sacrifice (D6 mortal wounds on a unit, automatically works on a Hero, otherwise you have to roll) or you can put two fingers up at it and probably take a mortal wound on every unit (chance it won't happen).

If you follow the battle, you can see Order was in a real bind at the end of the game - if it had gone on for one more turn, the Pyroclasm alone would have likely killed at least one of the remaining units (whether it was appeased or not), and Chaos would have had no problems with the survivors!

The Time of War Sheet also has an Ignax table to bugger things up further (such as those burning rays looking for the unworthy). You'll find it in both the Godbeasts book and the Ironwarp Citadel (available only through Warhammer World and eBay), and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Sounds fun. I may need to make a reminder to pick it up next time I take a trip down south.
