Lots of new things for this week – a new Battleplan, a new Realm, and two new armies!


The Story So Far
Nagash, the Lord of Death is beginning to stir, angry at Sigmar for stealing souls that rightfully belong to him. In order to become a force to be reckoned with, Nagash would need to bring his Mortarchs back into the fold, even as the forces of Chaos hunted for them to finally break the power of the Lord of Death.

Unfortunately, one of them, Neferata (Mortarch of Blood), was somewhat occupied. Her city of Nulahmia was under siege by the Slaaneshi host of Lascilion. Twelve Chaos commanders had been tasked by Archaon to find Neferata, and it was Lascilion’s ability to sense decadence that had led his army straight to her.

Neferata was proud, but no fool, and when she saw the size of the Slaaneshi force assaulting her city, she sent a plea for aid to the other Mortarchs. They failed to appear, but another force answered her summons, one heralded by forks of lightning that blazed into the heart of the city.

Great report Matt! Really enjoyed this one. The two armies look fantastic, especially on that set up. Really looks like Nulahmia there!

Yeah, Morghast are some of the best units in the game. I am not surprised they tore it through the Slaneeshi army. The Death army was more than a match for the Slaneesh (indeed, they didn't even need the Stormcast!).

I think limiting the Death army to just the battalion might have made for a closer game. :-)

Looking forward to more!

I was so happy to see the Stormies didn't make an appearance after all. I literally facepalmed when I saw they were Neferata's backup! Partially because 'Death + Order WTF?!' but also because I really loathe seeing these guys in report after report. Which is no offense to you Matt - you're the humble scribe / painter / builder / gamer following along with GeeDub's story arc, not the person writing this arc in the first place. However without a doubt my favorite of your reports have been those without any Stormcast in them

I do like the Stormcast, but it was a surprise to see they weren't even needed! Great report anyway Matt.

Then I think you are going to like the next battle

The Stormcasts are the centre of the story at the moment, but there are quite a few fights coming up that have different forces.

This was really cool! Nice report
