My gaming group is playing a mega battle this weekend with a custom scenario titled The Last Stand at Wurtbad. We have two separate tables. A main table set in the remnants of the Empire at the Town of Wurtbad. This table is where most of the victory conditions for the game exist. The second table is set in Lustria at the Temple of Hexoatl. This table has a magical terrain piece called The Spawning Pool of Eternity that allows units to attempt to teleport onto the main table. This battle takes place during The End Times.
The main table forces of destruction are Warriors of Chaos lead by Archaon and Goblins lead by Grom the Paunch. The forces of order armies on this table are Dwarves lead by Thorgrim Grudgebearer, and Vampire Counts lead by Vlad von Carstein with a small Empire contingent. The backstory of why Vampire Counts are considered forces of order is that in a desperate exchange for reinforcements, the Reiksmarshal of the Empire has come to an uneasy agreement with the Vampire Count, Vlad von Carstein, proclaiming the Vampire Lord the rightful Elector Count of Sylvania in exchange for Vlad’s aid at Wurtbad. In all there are about 20,000 points of minis on this table.
On the Lustrian table there are Lizardmen lead by Slann Mage Priest Lord Takoda for order. And destruction has an alliance of Skaven and Warriors of Chaos. In all there are about 10,000 points of minis on this table.
So in aggregate we have about 30,000 points of minis and six players partaking (Empire and Vampires are controlled by the same player and Skaven and Warriors of Chaos on the Lustria table are controlled by the same player).
End of game victory conditions are:
•Kill the enemy Grand Marshall (Archaon and Thorgrim)
•Control buildings in the Town of Wurtbad
•Control the top tier of the Temple of Hexoatl
Forces of Order get to deploy in the Town of Wurtbad and on the Temple of Hexoatl, so they have smaller army sizes than the Forces of Destruction.
I will try my best to remember in game photos. Those will mostly be from the Lustria table as I am controlling the Lizardmen. But I often forget in the excitement of battle! Without further ado here are photos of deployment.
The Temple of Hexoatl with Lizardmen defenders.
The Spawning Pool of Eternity
The Chaos/Skaven force coming out of the Lustrian jungle.
And now going across the globe to Wurtbad.
The town garrisoned by dwarves, vampires and humans of the Empire
Warriors of Chaos coming from one direction
Goblins coming at the town from the other direction.
