A Warhammer 1st Edition Battle Report.
Lots of Dwarven bravery in the face of impending doom!
Plus Slann-nation… who doesnt love Kermit the Frog's people?

From full post here:

This is a 3-part battle report based loosely on the "Ziggurat of Doom" scenario as found in the Warhammer 1st edition White Box set. Since we already showed off all the newly painted units in the last post… let's get straight to the action!


picture

Balin, son of Fundin, Lord of Moria was surrounded by a flash of magical light. When his eyes adjusted, he found himself and his companions transported to a ziggurat in a humid jungle that could only be The Temple of Chicken-Itza in the Savage Lands, far below Moria. His 2nd in Command, Mad Furrikson gave a low growl, how he hated magic, that mad one.

picture

Balin: YOU! Who are you, to teleport me without my permission?
Bullywug King: I am the Lizard King, I can do anything!
Mad Furrikson: (whispers) he is no Jim Morisson, if ya ask me…
Bullywug King: Hundreds of years ago, our two kinds built the Undermountains. You Dwarves built Khazad-Dum, the Mines of Moria. We Slann built below your Underdeeps of Moria, this land… The Savage Lands. We lived in harmony until Chaos came and destroyed our peaceful existence. The Orcs drove you out, Chaos annihilated my people. I am the Last Bullywug King! I have waited for your kind to return and here you are. The power of this Temple is failing and the enemy will soon penetrate its defenses, but I can still use the last of its energy to help us both!
Balin: And if we ally ourselves with you, what help can you offer?
Bullywug King: I am a summoner, I can summon great and vicious beasties that will help you reconquer your Kingdom. Dwarf King, your enemies are mine also! Together, we can crush the Orcs, Dark Elves, Undead, and whoever else from our lands. In fact you have no choice! In moments, the tribe of Orcs known as the Metal Magic Clan will attack us!
Balin: Hmmm… this place doesnt look very defensible.

The Bullywug King raises his staff and suddenly crystals sprout from the spawning pools.
Bullywug King: I can summon reinforcements for us with the power of these crystals. But you must make sure I am not disrupted.
Balin: My companions and I are powerful heroes, but we are only seven. What can we do against a whole tribe of Orcs?
