The fight for the Great Green Torc that hangs in the sky above the Scabrou Sprawl is in full swing, and a new force now enters the fray…

The Story So Far
The Battle for the Torc hung in the balance. Both Stormcasts and the forces of Chaos had battered one another heavily, while the Spiderfang Grots who lived there were fighting a guerrilla war against both, just trying to survive.

Without constant reinforcement, the Rotbringers who had gained a foothold upon the torc were gradually being whittled down by the Stormcasts and Spiderfang Grots. Over the following weeks, the Stormcasts gradually pushed their way around the torc, finally entering Springseed and Rebirth, the domains of at one end of the torc. There stood Castle Neonatus, and they gained its walls just in time, for they had been followed by a combined force of Rotbringers and Brayherd. Under the massive rocks hurled by Cygors, a section of the castle broke away and slid into the Amethyst Gate, where it would be greeted by the Lord of Death himself, Nagash. The remaining Stormcasts prepared to sell themselves dearly.

Then, everything changed. A new army arrived on the battlefield – a large tribe of Spiderfang Grots. They had seen their chance to rid themselves of the forces of Nurgle who had corrupted their home, and now threw themselves at their greater enemy, accepting a temporary alliance with the Stormcasts against a far more dangerous foe.

If they could win here, the Great Green Torc would be robbed from the forces of Chaos.

Certainly didn't feel like a Rotbringer victory, but rules are rules at the end of the day! Great stuff Matt.

Think of it as being more a failure on the part of the Stormcasts, with the Rotbringers now free to be a constant thorn their side.

Another point is that, after facing those two opposing armies, having any survivors is a victory!
