Merry Christmas!

So, merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all get lots of nice presents!

I have arrived back home after my arduous drive and so to celebrate the real start to my holidays.

This here is the next battle, where Veladaunt attempts to rescue his men from the Slanneshi warband.

The Slanneshi warband begins the game getting themselves drunk from the dwarven ale and high from the giant mushroom! Little did they know their camp would soon be infiltrated.

Veladaunt hadn't generated too many new followers so there was no thought of fighting, only sneaking into their enemies camp and freeing their friends.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to either of the two previous parties, Pestulent Retch and his plague zombies lurk forward, intent on surprising Hepplethwaite's warband.

Their revelry cut short by the followers of Nurgle, Hepplethwaite orders his warband to ready themselves. Erik charges directly at Pestulent Retch, hoping to attain glory by slaying a champion of a rival chaos god.

Veladaunts men quietly sneak up to the enclosure where their allies are being held.

The zombies engage the beastmen and two are hacked apart even as they charge. Erik is wounded by Pestulent, to the great surprise of the chaos champion.

Hepplethwaite charges into the squishy, foul smelling zombies, tearing them to pieces.

Pestulent, seeing how easily his minions where slaughtered, turned to flee. Erik grimly pursued  the foul beastman, yet wasn't able to catch up with him as the servant of Nurgle quickly scarpered.

The Slanneshi warband return to their camp. They are so drunk by now, with ale and bloodlust, that they don't seem to notice that there are more prisoners in the encounter than there used to be. (In thegame I made it up so that the Slanneshi warband wouldn't notice Veladaunt's men attempting to escape unless a six was rolled).

Now I forgot to take pictures of the next few turns, but I shall just say that most of Veladaunt's forces escape.

Except, sadly, Donald the ogre.

Anyway, so these chaps here are the survivors, which shows that it was a profitable venture.

Sadly only Pustulent Retch survived for the Nurgle warband, but he is now out openly recruiting, and you know what? I think I can manage to get him a skaven or two.

Nurgle casualties.

Empire casualties.

Slannesh didn't lose any followers today, but I think that once he has recovered from his wounds, Erik will challenge Hepplethwaite again for the leadership of the warband.

Goodbye, dear people. Have a great day!
