So beastmens first battle in the campaign was a Triumph and Treachery against Bretonnia and Dark Elves. It ended up being a really close fight in the end but the victory went to the Dark Elves. The Bretonnia player said he had to pass up his first turn to Pray. In hindsight we all think that is strange, if that is how it is ment to be a Bretonnia player could see the other players in a T&T game do two turns before he could act. Some post discussion about that got us to think he should just be the last to act in turn 1. We will take it up in the next campaign meeting and suggest that is how we will play it in the campaigns T&T battles.

 

I ended up having just my lvl 1 Bray Shaman left on the board at the end of the game. That is mostly my fault for doing a couple of bad decisions and rolling poorly but also from my opponents making great tactical moves and rolling good. Highlight for me at the game was my horde of gors, BSB and shaman taking on the horde of Witchelves. After a couple of turns of close combat the witchelves had killed my gors to a man and put a wound on each of my heroes, those two guys held on snake eyes. My Shaman did kill his Hag and 5 other guys in total. In the last round of close combat my BSB and Shaman killed a total of 5 witchelves and took no wounds. He failed his leadership and reroll, then my guys proceeded to run down the 10-12 witchelves that remained. After the battle my BSB has got -1 movement and my Gorebull is -1 Attack and can not use Great Weapons, hand weapon and shield or additional hand weapons. He has more or less lost an arm. Now to the battle itself.

 

After our second round of the Warhammer Campaign the beastmen have increased their territory by another two hexes. The big challenge will be the up coming three way Triumph and Treachery between my beastmen and my opponents Bretonnia and Dark Elves.

As Morthog marched his warhounds had been scouting a bit ahead and found a ragged band of Gors lead by a weak and battered Wargor. After a short and really onesided battle the Wargor lies splitt in half at the feet of Morthog. The rest of the Gors decides to join Morthogs growing herd. When the herd arrives at the area were the shard of the cometh is supposed to have fallen they can in the distance see the bright and colorful banners of the Bretonnian Knights on one side and on the other side there is the menacingly banners of a Dark Elf host. The air is filled with tension as the three armies watches to see who will make the first move.

Meanwhile have Rothgar moved closer to the lands of Bretonnia claming border territories preparing to launch an raid into the lands of knights.

So for some time a friend of mine have been writing on a campaign for Warhammer Fantasy. Now after getting some feedback and updates we are ready to kick of this 8 player campaign. The goal is to collect a cometh and bring it back to your own land. But to do this you need to collect 3 smaller pieces of the cometh. The first moves have been resulting in expanding of territories and only one battle. I will keep updating with text and pictures in how my beastmen can hold their own in this more fluff like campaign.

 

The clearing was eerily lit by the bonfire at it's center, shadows of grotesque figures danced on the trunks and leaves of the trees. The beastly figures roared, howled and brayed to the sounds of primitive drums. Closest to the bonfire a cloacked figure carrying a staff stod waving the staff over a kneeling but still massive figure. With a last toss of the staff the cloaked figure drove it's end into the ground leaving it standing slightly quivering. At just that moment the drums, the moving of bodies and all sounds stopped. Accompanied by the crackling of the fire the massive figure stood. It's features was briefly shown by a dancing flame. He was Morthog Facesplitter, a huge and strong minotaur, leader of this meager band of beastmen. His shaman Rothgar had told him that tonight a sign from the chaos gods would lead them. As Morthog prepared to speak to his followers he could see that they all looked past him up into the sky. As he looked up he saw a bright red light cross the nightsky. With a roar he gripped his fearsome cleaver and charged after the light, so did every other beastmen under him. All of them lust in bloodlust and hunger for meat. Suddenly the light split into many streaks of light. After a glance towards his shaman he charged after one of the closest ones.

 

Early that morning the reached the edge of the beastmen territory. They all paused still a bit bloodcrazed and riled up. After some thinking Morthog sent Rothgar and half of his force of towards the lands of a Bretonninan Knight. He could not resist striking a blow against those hateful and supposedly holy knights. Morthog himself took the other half of his force and headed towards the area where the light had hit the ground. Not knowing that forces of Dark Elves and Bretonninan Knights had mobilized to the beastmen burnt and slaughtered their way towards their destination. As they moved unhindered small forces of beastmen moved in wanting to join the herd in it's advance. Morthog and Rothgar now seperated from each other had to think carefully about who they would let join the herd.

 

Rothgar kept moving in the forest razing every little settlement they came across, while Morthog moved more open leaving pillars of black smoke behind from burnt villages.
