Quoted By:
The great hosts of chaos marched towards Karag Dum. Thousands, tens of thousands made their way towards the ancient ruins of a proud dwarven bastion that had held out for so long. Its cannons had roared, its mithril clad warriors had cut and hewn and cleaved and shot the warriors of chaos. Its forges churned out endless suits of armor, countless weapons, endless stockpiles of bolts. Its mighty walls, placed atop a lone mountain domineered over the landscape, the towers seeming to pierce the very sky and disturb the gods above. And for that, it had to fall. The dwarves fought, and yet, they had fallen to the hordes of chaos. Despoiled, ravaged, raped, as all lands ought to be, sooner or later. You had never seen the Karag before. And now, only crumbled ruins remained. Maybe, the next time you visit it, it won’t be so far in the future, for the crumbled walls and broken towers more remind you of the rotten jaws of a warhound than of a proud bastion overrun by brave soldiers of Chaos. As you crest the bleak ocher hill, you see what you long expected. Beneath a burning orange sky, a gathering of armies, warbands and hosts. Spitting on the ground and uttering a oath, then continue forwards, order your host to make camp while you head for the centre of the gathering, towards the lone tent overlooking the countless hordes. As soon as you step in front of the tent and try peering inside, you feel a shove from behind. Tumbling forwards and already drawing your weapon out, you turn to strike at your assailant, but to no avail, as you fall through the tent flaps, which close shut behind you. A cleave at them leaves your blade harmlessly bouncing from the magical cloth. A rough chuckle emerges from behind you. “Another one!” A Hung chief laughs. “Settle in friend. We all wait long.” A quick scan of the massive tent reveals a impressive gathering of warlords, chiefs and champions, of Kurgan, Hung and Beastmen types, all eyeing each other with doubt, suspicion and spite. Yet, all keep their weapons by their belts. They must have been here for long in order to have relaxed so much in such company. A moment of thinking later, you choose to follow their lead, but keeping your gaze on a bestigor with a head crowned with 3 pairs of horns. You think of speaking to the mob, yet before you can, a female voice booms in the room. “You won’t wait for any more.” In a flash of motion, every blade is drawn and more than twice that many eyes are anxiously glancing around the tent. “A whispering on the steppes had called you all here.” The strange cloaked figure spoke as it appeared in the center. Within a moment, the champions and warlords and reaves and warriors all surrounded the figure, distrustful of each other, but afraid of the figure that just appeared between them. “I called you here.” The figure continued, concealed by the dancing shadows too thick to be natural. “I called you here so that you may wage war upon the southlands.”

something about Narvoch returning to Ulso and running into mulrogs encampment after hearing about the other sorcerer and looking for him?

Lanu, what's up with ranged units? Seems like Horse Archers should be able to disengage from combat due to being ranged + mounted. Can ranged units attack from a space away? Can mounted units disengage from non-mounted units? Can Dorfs & Skavens travel through mountain tiles? Can I unlock units with even greater mobility than 5? Can you see why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch?
Lanu !!xX2uu4ZVO2b
>>5996405 >Lanu, what's up with ranged units? Never happened.
The reasoning being that with units of the sizes they are operating at, most, if not all units are mixed, having both ranged and melee capabilities. If you look at, for a example, cases of Turks fighitng, you'll see them both engaging at range, doing their general horsearchery and then closing the distance and charging the enemy.
>Seems like Horse Archers should be able to disengage from combat due to being ranged + mounted. Would break the system and needlessly complicate it. The ability to repeatedly engage at range, then disengage from enemy forces is represented in the very high initiative score, while the enemies being able to withstand the repeated volleys and return them until scattering the horsearchers is represented by the almost universal ability of the horsearchers to strike at the enemy first and to die if any significantly stronger enemy engages them.
>Can ranged units attack from a space away? Will be a thing with some siege weaponry.
>Can mounted units disengage from non-mounted units? No, combat is assumed to happen over a prolonged period of skirmishing, charges, shooting and ultimately a mixture of murder and rout/scattering of defeated units.
>Can Dorfs & Skavens travel through mountain tiles? Mining will be a thing. Traversal of mountains, no. That will be reserved for flying units.
>Can I unlock units with even greater mobility than 5? Through upgrades, for a example, elven steeds, yes.
>Can you see why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch? No, as I've never had it.

>>5995887 >>5995064 With these streams so thick and the militia over our heads, there's no use in bothering to flank the Stresly. One band of my Berserkers will strike and soften them up, your Ungors can kill and loot, or die at their guns, and leave the path open for the next. I'm not sure we can seize Fort Ostrosk without the horses to ride the garrison down or steel to withstand their blows. Not without an ocean of blood.
>>5995876 >>5995880 Noted. We'll raid well into autumn, then.
>>5995915 I'd be willing to wait for your men. It's likely my warband and Magor's horde can thin them out ahead of your ranks. You're our warleader by Nieglin's boon and patience, endurance of the mind, is the most important of his teachings. Even if most of our ilk ignore it.
Mulrog !XS8vrClKs2
>>5996456 In the deep of winter with Snow smothering the Baersonling Capital of Urslo the silence of the world was broken by the sounds of heavy work, Trees being felled and shouting over the construction of a great many longboats. Some of them were of strange shapes meant for large creatures the Sorcerer might have seen before.
The current Jarl of the city had been somewhat uneasy with another sorcerer in town in addition to all the other hosts currently living in his lands, recruiting his young men and goring themselves in vast quantities of southern wine and ale. But that was of little importance for now. Finding the other sorcerer on the other hand was important. There had been portents and signs but their meaning had been unclear and vague, a second opinion was needed to interpret the will of the gods.
His wanderings were interrupted by the sounds of fighting, dying men and cheering from an encampment just over a small hill. The stench of blood and brass was thick in the air and steadily getting thicker. It had been so thick in fact that it almost silenced the sound of hooves and armored men coming up on him from behind.
Narvochs throng of thralls and Chaos Warrios he kept with him as bodyguards immediatly turned to face the challenger who wwere riding high atop black steeds. Their leader was a man alsmost the size of an Oger though only marginally slimmer due to the thick steel armor he was wearing. Bloodlust, kept in check through discipline radiated from the newcomer as he regarded the sorcerer and his men. a small entourage of men followed the riders and seemed unassuming though radiating blessings and curses from the Gods.
One of the riders came forward "My Master. Zar Mulrog Kul, the Cruel wishes to know what you are doing at his encampment sorcerer." the man proclaimed, inquiring about the sorcers name and aim.
When it became clear that he was searching for the Sorcerer Sarrick Mulrog nodded and dismounted swiftly. The fresh Pelt of a massive Skinwolf was packed into a package ready to be turned into a new cloak. The Beasts Skull dangeled on a chain nearl Mulrogs Belt and showed clear signs of a swift decapitation.
"If you seek Sarrick then he and his encamptment are over on the next hill. But anyone in town could have told you that. This must have been ordained by the Gods. So i invite you to spectate the choosing and talk. I have a feeling our goals might align." the massive Warlord insisted, ushering the Sorcerer and escort into his camp.
Mulrog !XS8vrClKs2
>>5996891 >>5996456 The improvised Arena was near the Camps edge and held many riders of the Zar in drunk revelery while Slaves fought against beast and man to escape and ascend the ladder out of the pits. Blood was spraying in wide arcs, turning the freezing ground into a treacherous battlefield. Just as they entered and sat down was a new Champion of the Arena declared. A former kislevite having embraced the fury of Khorne had torn the throat out of a wolf and used the carcass to beat the two last beasts to death to the loud cheering of the crowd.
The Warlords talked over wine and foodstuffs from the south coming to realize that they both were planning on working with Sarrick for at least a while. And with more helping hands the amount of mammoths and sea creatures that could be captured could increase a lot more. When the two Warlords parted the derision of the Khornate has lessened somewhat and a small present of slaves and fine wine were presented to the leaving Sorcerer who was sent on his way to Sarrick.

>>5996420 Drag Sneeds + Art breeder.
>>5996558 It's really not that complex, just a list of events I mix and match in a logical way.
>>5996195 If you want, we can fastforwards your horde into hitting the last village. It's frankly just a question of who the militia hits, with the hit being fatal to your ungors and gors and your centigors being fresh enough to tank. And in the meanwhile, two units hitting the village will kill the militia. I'd frankly recommend not using gors to capture it.
Krantagarh !!jV7/PVysBKb
>>5996970 Right I was planning on having Centigors, Ungors and at least one unit of Gors simultaneously attacking to kill the militia immediately, but I’ll take a “fast-forward and retire with 10 more loot” if you’re willing to offer it?
Lanu !!xX2uu4ZVO2b
>>5996974 It's a 50/50 whether the militia hits the ungor or the centigor, with a ungor strike being a fatality.
If you're a betting man, give me a d2, with a 1 being a fatality for the ungor.
Krantagarh !!jV7/PVysBKb
Rolled 1 (1d2) >>5996975 Eh, not afraid to gamble a bit, here goes
Lanu !!xX2uu4ZVO2b
Next turn: As usual, sorry for moving your ungors around, I've not lost any of them, if you disagree with their movements, we can work something out. Kran has gained 10 more loot and lost a ungor in attacks against the militia of the village, so he is 5 loot ahead. Korth has sacked a town and has gained 20 loot, following a ferocious charge of his berserkers against unprepared strelsy ranks. Zar Hangar's horde is safely riding through the already sacked lands. The Kislevite horsemen are taking positions on the opposite bank of Tobol river. It will be hard to cross it, tho raiding southwest between Tobol and Lynsk might be a viable direction, if the hills can be cleaned of militiamen.
Lanu !!xX2uu4ZVO2b
>>5996979 So, where you retiring to?
Krantagarh !DTHywlSNR.
Alright, Huffud, I think we both get 40 loot apiece here, since our total loot count is as follows: Your loot: 20 (two skinwolves villages) My loot: 60 (two-house skinwolves village, three additional villages south of mountains) Krantigar's total loot at raid end: 44 (I believe) To Magor - I'm delivering you 5 loot to pay off my debt from earlier, thanks very much for your prior consideration! To Zar Ivan - I'll donate 9 loot for your mountain pass fortifications, to be used as you see it fit. With my remaining 30 loot, I'll buy another unit of Minotaurs, all the better for the Hellpit run. Please note: Huffud and I will be invading Hellpit for the next raid, but AFTER THAT, I'll be deepstriking to the southern Kislev forest to plant my herdstone and generally fuck things up in the south.
Krantagarh !DTHywlSNR.
>>5996993 Oh, Beastlands again, so I can hire more Minotaurs.
Huffud the Big
>>5996996 Does that mean you’re giving me 40 loot, or were you a gentlebull and counted my loot total for me?
Krantagarh !!jV7/PVysBKb
>>5997002 I was sort of imagining that Krantigarh and Huffud would throw all the loot into a big pile in the Beastlands and then split it right down the middle. 40 loot for each partner. Again, I couldn’t have made it down south past the mountains without you clearing the two werewolf villages.

>>5996997 The return northwards was great and celebrated, with many great games and feasts being organized in the great beastherds of the chaos wastes.
Great arenas were erected with champions streaming into the pits to duel or engage in bloody mob fights for the glory of the eternally watching spectators. Great pyres rose into the skies, seeming to touch the very heavens, fed by wood, bones, corpses of the defeated and by the great roaring winds weaving through the thick forest. Intoxicating vapours emerged from the great fire wrapping its warm and slender tentacles around the great herdstone. And a intruder is brought in front of Krantagarh:
>A bovigor of miniscule stature for his kind, but clad in chaos plate and with mechanical arms, wielding a great gun >Bindo, a Tileian man with three eyes in his right eyesocket, his robes tattered and torn by his long journey up north >A exceptionally mutated man from the north, standing almost as tall as Mulrog, but broader, his head being a disgusting mixture of two, a lower, equally large head fused to the front of the upper head emerging where a nose would emerge on a normal man, his right arm twice as thick as the left, but ending in a spike growing from his elbow, his left splitting into three equally sized arms emerging from his wrist, and his massive waist ending in three pairs of horse legs, each ending in the avian shaped legs. This must be a warrior of the Tong. Huffud the Big

>>5997040 Krantigarh’s bloodshot eyes pass over the mutated man, confusion building. Such horrible spawns are typically violent and insane - Men warped in such fashion are not to be eaten, he knows this. But it is strange that a man so blessed with the touch of the Four is able to keep his composure - that he has not been reduced to rabid frenzy. A dull curiosity sparks in Krantigarh’s mind - how is it that he still walks and talks?
>A exceptionally mutated man from the north, standing almost as tall as Mulrog, but broader, his head being a disgusting mixture of two, a lower, equally large head fused to the front of the upper head emerging where a nose would emerge on a normal man, his right arm twice as thick as the left, but ending in a spike growing from his elbow, his left splitting into three equally sized arms emerging from his wrist, and his massive waist ending in three pairs of horse legs, each ending in the avian shaped legs.

>>5997099 Nice, finally getting some Tong into this.
Seems like Tamurkhan the Nurglite should have been a Tong rather than a Kurgan.
Lanu, don't be too sad about Bindo, I'm sure he'll get picked eventually.
Lanu !!xX2uu4ZVO2b
>>5997099 The man walks with the confidence of a apex predator, even amidst Krantagarh and his minotaurs, stripped naked where most men wouldn't dare step in chaos plate. He walks towards Krantagarh and stops when his face is almost touching Krantagarh, at which point his lower head speaks in a high pitched and unpleasant voice.
"The chiefs of the Tong have heard of your hosts travels." The Tong says. "And while they do not care to join your petty hobbled limp southwards, they will offer you services of their men." The Tong warrior says. "Of course, they expect you to pay with a thousand slaves (10 loot) each time you enter the Tong lands to recruit."
