We are halting our tour of the Mortal Realms briefly, and this time going back in time to a far off period of history for a titanic confrontation. Here, we will be asking ourselves the deep, moral question; Archaon versus Nagash – who is best?


The Story So Far
Before Sigmar unleashed his Stormcast Eternals upon the Mortal Realms, Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead, rose from Shyish to reclaim his domain from the forces of Chaos. He had been banished there long ago by Archaon after the Battle of Black Skies, his armies of the dead bound into the Cage of Bones, a Chaos fortress built to extend mastery over the Realm of Death.

When Nagash returned, he unbound the magicks holding his undead warriors in check and the Cage of Bones fell in a single night. Forewarned by his Gaunt Summoners of this turn, Archaon was already marching at the head of a vast host to battle Nagash.

Nagash’s horde of the dead ploughed into the forces of Chaos as soon as they emerged from the Forlorn Wells Realmgate, and the two armies smashed against one another as they fought past the Towers of Torment and Bonekey Keep to the foot of the Cage of Bones.

Archaon knew only he had the power to face Nagash and so he confronted the Supreme Lord of the Undead, Everchosen against God.



For the full report and more piccies (as well as who won!): https://ttgamingdiary.wordpress.com/2017/01/27/battle-report-clash-of-titans/

that does seem like a poorly designed scenario. I'm not sure what could fix it, maybe just remove the instant win conditions? so an undead player loses nagash, but they could still try to hold out in order to keep the victory from becoming absolute? I'm just thinking as i type, so i don't know.

Yeah, that just seems like a classic "who would win out of x and y" scenario, being fought in the middle of a normal game (I say normal, but the deployment is... iffy.). Can't get 'em all right I guess.

I still think the battle of the black sun is better. Massive and better.
