"Age of Sigmar Battle Report - Home Ground" Topic

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.

Cool. I haven't seen the undead in AoS yet. They seem really tough. It isn't often you feel sorry for a Chaos Lord.

You're right about the Daemonettes, they are the most effective lesser chaos daemons in terms of close combat. The only thing that is more effective are the Horrors as they can summon more horrors and on and on. In combat they are pants but if you get enough of them in there they can accomplish something.

Off now to look up the rules for the Morghasts.

Thanks for the report. Do you guys have anything special planned for Saturday?

We have the penultimate battle from Balance of Power this week and, as it is a short one, we might lump in the final battle too!

Are you going to be participating in the world wide campaign, if that is what is coming on Saturday?

Well, I'll give it a conditional yes… But with 29 battles to go in our campaign (and I presume there will be three more in the forthcoming Sylvaneth book), we are already set for six months of gaming. Then there is Warhammer Quest. And we are about to start a Badab War campaign. And we have an ongoing Traveller campaign…

Gaming for us is in a Golden Age for us at the moment, but it leaves precious little time for other events!

Can you not report your campaign games in the global campaign? I assumed it would work like the last thing they did like this.
