The forces of Chaos guarding the Mawgate may have made a bit of a faux pas, as they have provoked the Ironjawz in the area – and Orruks are always up for a bash.


The Story So Far
The Stormcasts arrived in force around the Deffgorge, ready to begin their assault upon the Mawgate and wrest it from the Chaos hordes defending it. Mighty battles between the forces of Chaos and Sigmar erupted around the Crawlerforts surrounding the Mawgate as the fate of the Mortal Realms continued to be decided.

But the Ironjawz did not care.

The Orruks had been driven into the shadow of the gigadroth skeleton that lay nearby but now the Stormcasts arrived, the Lords of Chaos concentrated their attacks upon Sigmar’s followers – the Ironjawz were now free to resume their assault upon the Crawlerforts. They struck the forces of Khorne first, and the madness of the Blood God seeped into their tiny brains, driving them to ever greater levels of frenzy.

The Bloodtoof warclan gave Doggrok’s Choppas a good shoeing for running away earlier, the Fists of Drakka tried to ‘sort out’ who their new Megaboss was going to be, while the Ironsunz simply duffed up anyone who looked like could use a good beating.

The Stormcast attack on the Crawlerforts had ground to a halt as the forces of Chaos strengthened and then repelled them. However, the storm of Sigmar that had raged over the Mawgate and heralded the coming of the Stormcasts began to change. Great, green, leering faces appeared in the clouds, while thunderheads the shape of massive fists rolled overhead. Neither Chaos Lord nor Stormcast knew what this meant.

But the Ironjawz were sure. As one, and with bellows of Waaagh!, the Ironjawz surged forward to the Crawlerforts. The first one in their path was the Flayed Fort, commanded by the Slaaneshi Daemon Prince Synlesha, who had mustered a combined force of Slaaneshi and Khorne followers, along with a Tzeentchian Sorcerer.

The Ironjawz struck the walls of the Flayed Fort like a hammer…

The sorcerers getting yelled right off of their towers was perfect.

But no, I am not buying a dreadhold.

It is worth considering - you don't need anything grand. This one was just two Malefic Gates and a Skull Keep...

This is one of the great things about the Dreadhold - you don't need to do it all at once. I started off with just a Skull Keep (the Watchtower battleplan uses it), then added a gate later on (Hold the Gates battleplan uses that), and then just added bits and pieces thereafter. A year later, and I have a pretty reasonable castle!

You convinced me! ok well you and finding a skull keep at a decent sale price convinced me.

I admit i'm looking forward to trying to paint it. i have very little practice with scenery.

Having a castle is awesome. Siege battles are just the best (as I think I've said on a previous post here ), it's just finding the time to use it is the problem.

If you can't believe in yourself, believe in me! Believe in the Dakka who believes in you!
