This battle represents a decent milestone – it completes the first half of the Godbeasts campaign. This is a massive battle as Archaon brings his full weight to bear upon the Stormcasts, while the Fyreslayers try to enact a plan that will scour all life from the whole Land of the Chained Sun…


The Story So Far
Archaon’s attack on the Land of the Chained Sun had been hard and brutal, the Everchosen quashing any spark of resistance from the Stormcasts and Fyreslayers wherever they could be brought to battle. Now, his plan for the Realm of Fire was almost complete. One more mighty victory would allow him to crush the last of the forces of Order, giving him enough time to bind the Godbeast Ignax to his will, spelling doom for any who opposed him.

Unless the Fyreslayers could do something about it…

The Fyreslayers, once populating the Land of the Chained Sun in their millions, knew their floating island was lost to Chaos. However, they were determined not to go quietly.

The lodges gathered their forces and marched alongside the Stormcasts in one last desperate bid to foil the plans of the Everchosen. Capturing the Great Tethers, the chains that held the Land of the Chained Sun under Ignax, they engaged the mighty winches, pulling the entire island up, up and closer to the Godbeast. If they could succeed in this bid, the terrible heat of Ignax would scour the whole island clean of life, destroying the Fyreslayers utterly – and Archaon’s plans alongside them…

That was certainly an epic bout. Even if Order won that battle, the story demands Archaon gets himself a Godbeast. Poor guys.

Great game.
