Welcome! This will probably be the final, or the second to final thread regarding the quest “Warlords of Chaos”. As previously, Rules will be presented in the attached comment. Returning warlords and new ones are welcome to re-join the hosts of chaos as they march southwards towards Ostrosk and beyond, to plunder the lands of Kislev.
The rules are, as previous, presented on the image.
Any returning warlords, please, reply to this post with your name and title and please list your units and any bonuses applied to them. If you have leftover loot, I recommend spending it, as this will most likely be the last raid.
Any new warlords, please, reply to the post below.

Welcome! This will probably be the final, or the second to final thread regarding the quest “Warlords of Chaos”. As previously, Rules will be presented in the attached comment. Returning warlords and new ones are welcome to re-join the hosts of chaos as they march southwards towards Ostrosk and beyond, to plunder the lands of Kislev.

Any returning warlords, please, reply to this post with your name and title and please list your units and any bonuses applied to them. If you have leftover loot, I recommend spending it, as this will most likely be the last raid.
Any new warlords, please, reply to the post below.

So, first of all, everyone in here who wants to participate will need to do a few things:
>Use some method of identification
Be it a tripcode, a name, or something, I will need a way to tell who you are, as this will potentially last for multiple threads and as there are multiple players.
>Create your warlord
I’ll need a name and a origin, which can for now only be a Hung, a Kurgan, a Norscan or a Beastman.
And, of course, if you desire, for a bit of flavour, a description (if you wish, you can go pretty OC donut steal, as chaos heroes usually are).
>Pick your army
Each player will start with 80 loot that they can purchase units with to represent their starting armies.

And finally, the list of recruitable units and their origins:

Hangar's Riders:
8 x Units of Chaos Knights
1 x 'Widowmaker' in Chaos Chariot

Seasoned Veterans of many a year, some of many an age; one an algamation of many bodies and many ages. And young riders with barely a year of war beneath them, their heavy armour near fresh from the forges of Zharr and won upon a tide of Goblin-Blood. Each are eightblessed upon their flesh as they pass by the processional; with Crimson Shade and Viper Root, With Sow-boil's pus and Maggot Wrap-Seepage, With Blood and Marrow, with Compound potion and Fire-oil. Annointed in the sights of the four as the riders make ready for the season ahead.

Hangar; Zar of the Hastlings, bellows to his warriors of the victories to come; his moustaches spread to both sides and clad in metoric iron; bedecked with runes and wraps and icons. The assembly of moustache creaks at his every movement, the structure of the matted hair now seeming to writhe and to whisper with every breath that passes in simple announcement.

"Onward. To Ostrosk."

The hordes of the High Zar ride again!

-Fimir x1
-Kurgan Cataphracts/Wheatlands Druzhinas x2
-Kurgan Cataphracts +2D x1
-Melniboneans x4

Good to see you QM. Glad to be back.

The Claws of Shaarnor:
3 Warbeasts of the North
2 Bondsmen
1 Chaos Warrior


52 loot left unspent, however 5 was sent to Krantagarh, leaving me at 47. I had retired to the lands of the Hung, so that is where I can only recruit from.
Also, there's still 2 CW and 2 Hung Savages that need to be split up between me, Mulrog, and Sarrick.

Furthermore, considering this might be the last raid/battle, I will have a letter sent to that Druchii and let him know that I won't be able to deliver slaves this year. If I survive, then we can resume our deal later.

Speaking of which, we all need to decide on what we are actually doing.
It seems agreed that we are taking Ostrosk no matter what. All that remains is to decide on whether we trust The Feathered one enough to return her sister to her for a mere 60 wealth, or if we keep the sister at Ivanoslav until the gods deem her not a threat.

Hell yes we're back!

Currently working on a gigantic Warbeast myself

Magor Gorebow's Gorehorde!

12 Ungors, 7 Thralls, 1 Minotaur I think?

A warm welcome back for the veterans of the previous raids, let's give the rest a day more to appear before I plop down the deployment map. I'm going to try to make this one a brutal engagement and force you to struggle some more than the last time you played.

Also, I have to say, I keep getting the "Error: Our system thinks your post is spam. Please reformat and try again." when I try to reply to multiple people and I don't know how to fix it.

The UNGORTIDE RETURNS.

>>6106860
That looks fucking siiiiick

Lads, this quest returns just in time! Did I miss a thread or am I up to date? I didn’t break into Rat Vietnam just to give up now

>>6106957
You are in time. Got about another 12 hours or so till deployment starts. Get your beastmen in a ball and start recruiting if you havent already done that. Then giant ball of hate to roll over everything in your way

While that condition is kinda true. I am someone else here

>>6107253
I hope Sarrick manages to make it back in time for deployment, but if not, then should we just split the 2 CW and 2 Savages 50/50?

>>6107352
if he does not make it then sure. otherwise i would be okay with two units of savages and you each taking one CW?

Or what arrangement would be agreeable to you?

>>6107355
Hmmm, if he doesn't make it, then we can have it where we each get 1 CW and 1 unit of Savages. That way it's exactly the same.

If Sarrick returns, and you want the two Savages, then I'd be willing to throw some extra loot your way since hung CW cost 22 whilst the two Savages have a combined value of 16. If me and him help split the difference, then that combined with the two unspent loot you still have might be enough for you to get an extra unit of something cheap.

>>6107362
with 6 additional loot i could get a unit of Bearserkers then due to gettting a slight discount, being involved in the new Baersonling Goverments rise and all.

The time has come and the columns set off. Warlords that are ready and act quick can set themselves up the best for a quick and decisive stroke towards Ostrosk. The ones that turn up late shall curse their own sloppyness.
For now, the land of Kislev shall suffer under the Norse and Kurgan and Hung and beastman marauders, their torches lit up and carried overhead in the dark nights as they march ever onwards, ready to slay, plunder, rape, raze, despoil and please their gods.

[48h more for deployment and planning, or until all players that currently posted their positions deploy - whichever comes first]

I will spend 44 of my 47 loot on two units of Chaos Warriors. That combined with the interim reward from last thread should make my army look like:
3 Warbeasts of the North, 4 Chaos Warriors, 2 Bondsmen, and 1 unit of Hung Savages.

Here's my deployment for turn one. I'll probably go up and around so that my forces can flank and attack from the north.

>>6106957
i would not mind some Beastman support down south in the woods if you can spare it.

>>6107530
also i realized since Sarrick isnt here to take his share of reward i would have another unit of Chaos Warriors and Hung Savages., Theywould deploy just behind the other CW and Bearserkers on the map.

Who can deploy from Troll country, exactly? Looking at the earlier cross-map, Ivan's route to Ostrock is virtually plains all the way, and crosses less rivers then all but the most circuitous of alternate routes, so probably better suited to my riders then the hills and forests encountered when coming in from the other direction. But at the same time, I don't think I'd have the capacity in lore to deploy there?

>>6107923
>Who can deploy from Troll country, exactly?
Anyone who has the same number or more norscan units than non norscan units. If some arrangement can be made with other players to get there, then anyone else can deploy there aswell.

>>6107923
Wait what? I must have missread my maps.vdidnt know you could get to Ostorrock from there....
>>6107456

I will have to reconsider my deployment. Because i am fully Amphibian

>>6107469

Pretty sure you need to go back and find your shit.

Damn. Anybody got a link to the old thread?

>>6107946
I'm afraid you'll need to look for your units, as I both do not have the units of my players and have never tracked them.

>3 units of Minotaurs
>1 unit of Veteran (+2D, +2HP) Chaos Warriors with Gromril Armor (+2D +2H -2M) (Huffud herself)

Will deploy everything later

>>6107963
Fuck you're right.
I completely forgot about this. But then again, it is mostly just discussion over the next mission.
https://archived.moe/qst/thread/6035383/

Also is it just me or have the captchas gotten even worse?

>>6108054
yeeeeah, they suck nowadays

oh, just a question- Lanu, could you use that image I sent in the last thread, for my chaos warriors unit? Entirely fine if you didn't!

>>6108059
No problem, I will.

>>6107930
Ah, yeah. Then I definitely can't go there with my 100% Kurgan force. I don't even think that Ivan can deploy there either, given that he's mostly Melniboneans and Cataphracts.

>>6107932
Mulrog's over half Norse now, though, so pretty sure he can move there if he wants to. How is your considering leaning?

>>6108148
Probably not, now that you bring it up. I do have good relations with the King of the Sarls though, so there is a justification there. Mulrog yoinked my original deployment plan due to my image posting issues.

>>6108148
I think i could move across Troll country even with such a heavy infantry force. If i move swiftly across the plaines i should be able to avoid large losses.

>>6108152
I can redeploy. Maybe help with getting some boats for you if you want to.

How many would you need to get up there?

>>6108062
Can i get the discount for renting boats? If so i could get some money from the other warlords to spend on boats to ferry units across

>>6108197
>>6108201
The Fimir are amphibious, & my Ulfhednar are shipbuilders & sailors, thus they can take carry another warband. I would need 8 ships. What price would you ask of me, Zar of the Kul?

>>6106288
Does my discount in norse lands apply to hiring boats? Wo i can get wm for 1 loot instead of 2?

>>6108239
If i get the discount mostly just the asking price. And combined protection for the infantry while crossing the plains. My Chaos Warriors will be relatively slow sadly

>>6108481
Sure, why not?

>>6108239
you need to have transported 7 units far as i can tell since the wolves can transport one extra and the Fimir dont need transportation.

i got 11 norscan units and 10 non norscan units.

with Lanus blessing that would be 6 loot to hire boats for me. i can carry one of your units on one of my only unoccupied longboats

I'm broke but I'll pay you back

>>6108531
that is the thing. i dont have the cash lying around either.

i can at most get three boats for you.

>>6108148
you got some cash lying around? maybe four?

>>6108533
Nope, I went into the last mission with an empty treasury and got paid only in armour to Knight my units with. No spare loot at all.

>>6108537
>>6108531
hmm....

looks like i will have to go up north unless we can find someone willing to sponsor Ivans travel.

>>6108059
>>6107448
>>6107362
>>6106957
one of you willing to sponsor Ivan?

>>6108531
otherwise i could offer some of my Norscan units to ferry you across. you would have to command them though. and all losses would require compensation. And they would be overseen by Algal, a minor Chaos Hero from my Army.

Thralls, Bondsmen, Huscarl,5 bearserkers and 3 hired boats

Then i still have two units of Chaos Warriors. a Unit of Bearsekers, Hung Savages, Skin Wolves as well as my cavalery detachment.

>>6108538
>>6108531
I got 12 wealth, I’d be happy to give it to you in exchange for something down the line

>>6108567
so some money (6 loot) and i will owe you some in return.

So be it. Mulrog accepts the wagonload of silver from the great heffer, unsure how the She-Beast managed to read his intentions so clearly.
>>6106288
>>6108531

and as such commisions several boats from the Baersonlings and departing together with Ivan to Troll COuntry, leaving his previous plans behind.

so yeah. >>6107530
this no longer works. will send new deployment.

>>6108538
I spent my loot on recruiting last turn, but I have like 3 to spare if need be.

Dissapointed that his good friend, the brazen skull Korthak is not with us in this campaign yet, Magor opts to deploy alongside the mighty Chaos Lord Mulrog.

His ungors shall move to cover the southern flank and the woods, his thralls aiding those behind the river to cross and then themselves using the river on their longboats to move to outflank the southern village.

>>6108585
Oh lmao Mulrog just changed where they are going uhh

>>6108585
ah sorry man.

my forces are not well suited for operations in such a movement limiting field with all those mountains close to the fields. so when i realised i could get to ostorrock from the other side... i took the chance.

though i think if we plunder Huffuds hoard completely we could all three deploy in Troll country. with my discount. but we will have to pay back Huffud Big time.

>>6108590
No fear. It's just my forces have always traditionally been in a supportive role, so I like to deploy alongside other Chaos forces and have to figure out which ones. Ideally, near woodlands.

>>6108597
Kranth and Huffud have yet to deploy. So maybe ask them?

>>6108567
>>6108584
Nice, how much do I owe each of you?

I do have an arrangement with the Sarls, but if some other warlord attacked them I wouldn't be sworn to aid them.... Plus the Gods still want the Sarl king's head, presumably.

>>6108723
two loot to me. six to huffud.

i will take my compensation from the Sarls and your promise to support my infantry on the open plains. they will be needed to push into the city proper unless we wanna throw our cavalery at the buildings when Bearserkers are cheaper and more plentiful. as well as striking faster.

Alright, due to a few players not deploying yet, I'll give them a day more to deploy.

Unfortunately I’m traveling at the moment, but should be able to work out my unit and loot totals and post deployment within 24 hours

>>6108759
That's fine. If you don't deploy now, I'll let you deploy afterwards.

>>6108764

I’ll fluff up my late deployment as “big moron Krantigarh is late to the party once again” ;)

I'll deploy into that area now that Mulrog's not going to be there, as I've absolutely no grounds whatsover to justify taking passage to troll country, as convenient as the ride from there onward would be. So you might want to shift a few units a little more westerly and take the hills?

>>6107456
Hangar's Knights enter the campaign season with an attack upon Ramaijk; three divisions of the riders striking from the western and southern flanks before a fourth rides in to take the town itself. The other half of the Knights and the monstrous charioteer Widowmaker advance onto the plains to the south of the Kislevite town.

>>6108597
I hadn't planned on it, but I could redeploy down there with you if you want.
I'll just be much slower than you in the forest is the only problem.

Blue Fimir
Black Wolves
Orange Cats/Druzhs
Green Melnibbas

Grey Stormbringer/Ivan
Magenta? Lines are projected movement for the following turn, presuming nothing changes.

Do Fimir in water win initiative vs infantry on hills?

>>6109796
>Mind if I ask Widowmaker's stats before I make use of him?
Widowmaker is counted as cavalry with HP 7, D 2 and M 3. Low initiative, but a very tanky unit.

>>6109825
Fimir are HP 2 and M 2, which gives them a initiative of 0. Strelsy are HP 2 M 3, giving them a initiative of 1, meaning the Strelsy get the first shot.

Oh god I remembered I was supposed to reply here phew. Had a busy day the other day.

>>6109591
Huffud, I'm going to need your help on this one. Their cavalry poses the greatest threat to me, but you have your cavalry. I'll be your infantry support. Keep their horses off my backs, and I'll try and deal with the gunners.

Water eliminates your initiative entirely... Might be effectively throwing your warriors away.

From the north to the south:

The clashes of the berserkers, the bravest and most gifted of the warriors, with the Sarl defenders of Holmstein leave few berserkers dead after the column of bondsmen gets ambushed by Bearsonlings leaping from the woods either side of forest trail. A pile of skulls is left where the panicked warriors met their grizzly end.
And oddly, it seems a village far in the north-east is aflame. A ex merchant says that should be Skraevold.

The warriors of both Ivan and Mulrog are reluctant to charge the dead.

A great clash is preparing as warriors of both sides amass in a line, thousands ready to march to their deaths. Regiments are amassing, banners and flags wave across the horizons and horns and drums sound.

A charge by the berserkers brings down a group of strelsy before a single shot can be fired. The hill is now under norse control.

Kzarla-Svedora direction:

Rare is the sight of 600 chaos warriors charging across the river into gunfire and arrows. Some are left behind, but as soon as the two lines connect, the river runs red with blood as the air, already choked with smoke, gets filled with screams. Few sons of Kislev flee back to their homeland.
The river now carries 150 chaos warriors and 8 times that many kislevites.

Praag direction:

A vicious charge of the chaos knights quickly after their emergence from the Dukhlys forests leaves the defenders of the nameless settlement easy prey to the knights. Yet their offensive is not without cost, as three Kislevite druzhina rotas charge the flanks of the warriors and pay a heavy price for the losses they inflict to their foes. Charges and countercharges, the best sons of Kislev and the best knights of the north leave many dead as lances are crossed and steeds and their riders murdered.

In the south, the ungortide slams forwards, killing kislevites at steep prices and driving them from the hills, thousands laying dead at its base. A vicious charge at a steep price for little gain.

If anyone wishes to join, or deploy later than usual, please tell me, I'll post you the deployment map in the shortest order.

"Khezin Bring me the Head of whoever leads those undead"
Growling with suppressed fury Mulrog addresses one of his Lieutenants who promptly rides off to his men, seeking to do his masters bidding.

The Skinwolves feel the chains around their souls tightening as they and the Bersekers are thrown into battle maddened frenzy. Shouting, howling and screaming towards the undead settlement.

Mulrog and Ivan's Troll country push:

In the north, the berserkers have cleared out Holmstein of its Sarl defenders and put the town to the torch. Yet of interest are the two new plumes of smoke arising to the north east. "Thorshafn." The ex-merchant says. "Must be a big warband."

The ancient dead Aponnians put up a good fight. Their weapons made of cursed gold cleave at skinwolves, killing many, maiming the rest. Yet, repeated charges drive the ancient defenders of their city which, considering it's age, might predate the sea of claws and the beastmen. The dead are eventually put back to rest, but they drag many of yours with you. And the ropsman was right. The gold is certainly cursed, as the first horseman who lays his hands on the piles of gold can attest, watching in horror as his limb withers away, followed by the rest of him.

The clash to the south is a bloody one and more damningly, a indecisive one, as neither side crushes nor routs the other. Yet, at the end, the Ungols will be the ones who draw the thick end of the beating stick, as their lines are the ones with more empty slots.

so my skinwolves are just dead?

damn. would have liked to have them for the push into our main city. this is gonna be expensive to replace.but at least it didnt happen to my chaos knights. can we just burn that cursed city to the ground without touching the gold? i mean even more to the ground. or would that need siege engines


Anyway movement.i beleive if we wanna take that hillcity towards the river we will need your infantry Ivan. lots of heavy infantry and stresely.

>>6111965
Your northern berserkers should withdraw to the South & make for the hills, who knows who could be on the warpath to the northeast.

High Zar Ivan, forsaking the cursed gold, searches the city of the dead with his sorcerers at his heels. "Surely something of value must be buried here? Where is a worthy prize? Is that Roppsman among our combined hosts?"

As for the hills, my wolves will flank to strike at their streltsy, then attack from their less defended east (via initiative bonus).

>>6111965
Yeah, the dice selected them to be the ones the Aponnians attacked. As for the gold, you can always just drag it off in carts and wagons after loading it in with shovels.
As for burning the ruins even lower, that'd require pickaxes and shovels. And a lot of time and man-hours. Doable, but has no real good reason to be done..

>>6111969
That Roppsman is still drinking himself to death (if he has not done so already) in the tavern/inn/hotel. Not that he knew much more.

>>6111972
so... could i give it to someone i dont like to see them wither and die? or give it to the chaos dwarfs... they would probably have use for something like this..... the Berserkers could do it. i might have to redo my movement a bit.

>>6111969
i was originally thinking stopping them from crossing the river. but your right. i cant block the entire river. just some loot for the road and the bearserkers will have to fall back.

if the horses in the south survive their two possible chances to die then they will move behind your lines Ivan. i can probably support some with Bondsmen and Thralls. They might be able to take some hits from the Kislevit heavy infantry.

Troll country - north to south:

There is sound of a horrible and great battle in the north. The Sarls are getting butchered in a great clash of forces. Unless you start running fast and soon, you'll find out whom it is.

Leblaya is cleared out by a vicious charge of the Kurgan. The few kislevites still present in it are no match to the Kurgan and the settlement, built atop a ancient mound is sacked.

Ungalya also falls, following the collapse of the Kislevite lines protecting it. So far, you have paid a steep price for miniscule gains. The Kislevites seem to have prepared themselves for this axis of advance at least. You wonder what awaits further in.

The village is looted and defiled in the name of The Dark Prince.

Carting out all the cursed treasures of the city of the dead, making some moves that might not be legal.

Mulrog, let's surround their entrenched positions in the hills. It would take too long to bring my wolves to bear. I'm going to push along the river to the East. If the northern horde reveals itself, we should cross the river or take the high ground. If Sarls flee into your warband, I would ask that you hand them over to me so long as they don't attack. We can split the hexengild once we can sell it to the Chorfs or some other fools. How much loot have we each gained at this point?

>>6113126
I plundered a tier 1 and tier 2 settlement. So i got 30 loot. You plundered a tier 1 settlement and in theory that tier 3 with cursed gold.

I think my bersekers will make a beeline across the plains and we can storm the hill city with their reinforcements.

Any captured sarls can be give over to you. If my bearsekers think about capturing any alive

"We need at least cut away the chaff, so that there is room enough for all our force to cross the rivers and head for our true goal. If the Gods had wished Praag to fall this year, we would know that as our task. They have not given us another season after this to take Ostrosk, and we serve demanding gods that I do not wish to fail."

"You and your Minotaurs should cross the river soon, Huffud.

Half of the Knights advance further onto the plains to give cover to Mulrog's horde as they cross, whilst a gap is left to leave him a corridor of advance. The badly wounded Knights advance to take out a mountain streltsy; once this bloody mission is done they are ordered to retreat to Hangar's tribe with the treasures taken so far. If the rest of the the warband meet death this season, perhaps the new Hastling Zar will come from their numbers.

A encounter is made in the forest between the two groups, when a norseman youth, an Aesling, proudly walks towards the berserkers, carrying a blood red banner with a chain with skulls on it.
When he approaches the leader of your berserker band, he starts angrily, "Fuckin'! Scum!", contains himself, then tries speaking again "We're gonna fucking kill you!", then pulls a sword from his belt and thrusts it at the nearest man of yours. The clash is a brief and a one sided one, but the Aesling youth leaves one of your men dead and costs another two fingertips.

I know not what tribe of Norsii these letters may reach, but cease your feuding for a season & join the march on the soft Southroners to claim great wealth & take many slaves.

From the north, to the south:

The Aeslings are intent on charging after you in as you retreat. Be it their deep-set hatered of Baresonlings (who make up your berserkers) or simple lust for war, they are intent on shedding your blood.

The forces are preparing themselves for a charge upon the Kislevite fort, Zamak Spayenya. But the hardy garrison promises to pose a hefty challenge. Whichever way it goes, the skull pyramid will be a tall one.

It is the Melniboneans, who finish fording the river and charge at the backs of the Strelsy formation and wipe them out, not the slow Fimir. By the time the skin wolves drag themselves out of the river and the Fimir slumber to, the strelsy have already been roasted and eaten by the Melniboneans. "Tough and chewy." Says a Melnibonean captain. "But they scream just like the rest of them."

>>6113970
Disappointingly little.
The Aponnians as a people, or maybe as a race, from what you gather now, seem to have been somewhere between dwarf and man in height, yet in build quite different from halflings, being of slender and elegant build.
From the archeology, they seem to be ancient, their buildings seem to incorporate arches, surprisingly few windows and thick walls which do not seem to have been built for protection, but for isolation. The buildings seem to have been built not entirely from the stone neither of the World edge's mountains nor of the Norscan mountains, but in some cases from the stone as far east as the continent of Ulthuan.
But to add to the interest, your soldiers find some ancient dwarven and elven trade goods.
Unfortunately, you aren't able to judge much of the ruins of a massive settlement that existed there far in the past, as the rocks are too scattered and ruins too old for your people to guess much, yet, they seem to vary (according to some norse and kurgan traders) from 50,000 to 350,000. The other interesting thing to note is the relative uniformity of the buildings in places where they're intact enough to gage they're buildings.
As for the weaponry and armour, they seem to have been lamelar chest and limb protection, with a large, full headed helmet with a series of slits for sight, hearing and breathing.

The lone berserker column is doomed to a bloody death at the hands of its pursuers. What is more worrying is the fact that the northern shore of Groene is obviously ablaze and with columns of Aeslings marching through it.

The walls of the platou-fortress are still manned as vigilantly as ever. The defenders, the elite of the Kislevite foot-soldiery, stand, calm and ready to die in defense of the northern bulwark.
The only real action seen is the charge of the chaos knights, sweeping away the strelsy regiment protecting a nameless Kislevite village. What follows is the typical, enslavement, rape and torture.

Rue's vanguard of chaos warriors that had crossed the river is now under fierce attack of the strelsy and the kossars. A vicious charge caught them off-guard as they were fording it and they barely managed to shatter the militia, only to be hit again, but this time by concentrated gun-fire. Doom awaits them unless something changes.

The Lynsk is forded, Ramaejk is sacked, it's inhabitants dragged off and a bridgehead established. To the east, the minotaurs are fording the river, while further west, the ungortide is slamming into the suburbs of Praag.

And to the south of them, a large force of kislevite lancers, not the usual rota druzhina assembly, but the elite of the kislevite horsemanship, two thousand of them, stand, lined up and ready to strike.

Foolishness! You march the wrong way! We are not here to battle vainly for the gates of Praag; our goals and the demands of the gods lie elsewhere! If the Lancers try to force a fight, you need greet them in the cover of the mountains and as they chase us 'cross the flow; do not surge out onto the plains to meet them!

>>6117073
The Chaos Knights pull back within the Ungor mass and away from their advance, so that continued advance on their part will bring the lancers out of formation, and a Lance-charge will not immediately break their own limited numbers.

Northern direction:

The last stand of the berserkers is a vicious one, as they clash with their foes, turning on them in a feint retreat, only to butcher them in a tide of javelins, axes, swords and rocks. A moment later, the fortune turned, as a wall of bondsmen rushed them down.

The chase continues, the two bands of berserkers outrunning their pursuers.

Skinwolves cleaned a nameless coastal Kislevite village with a vicious downhill charge.

File: file.png (194 KB, 1727x1222)

194 KB PNG

Southern direction:

A hurried move across the river is close to turning into a disaster as the rota's will be able to charge down any stragglers. This is the fate that is met by a band of ungors preparing to cross the river. The kislevites were on them before they even knew it.

I've also chosen to move Huffud's units across the river on the orders Hangar recommended. If it's not to the liking, please tell me.

If you Ungors want to keep yours in your veins, get across that river!

Those who are left behind were simply too desirable a treat for the Hound, and I'd like not to let too much of my army become that!

His heavy Moustaches writhing with a life of their own, Hangar bellows out orders amidst the moments of confusion, adding supplemental instructions to Huffud's herd to keep them moving. He also 'advises' a group of thralls attempting to walk along the river to exit into the space the Minotaurs will be leaving in a ransacked village instead - his Knights need that spot free so they can cross the river themselves; and if they do not get the space then they will carve the Thralls down with their own blades to make the space for their passage. Khorne cares not, and all.

There are also two units that are not going to either the other side of the river or a relatively safe position. His advice to Magor is to have the trailing Ungor turn back toward the hills instead - a least there it will do some damage before being destroyed, and the act would likely take a lancer out of position. For the Thrall on the hills, the advice is to have them hold ground; again they can sell themselves for a cost here, rather then give the lancers leave to ride their group effortlessly down.

>>6119841
Magor agree's with this plan. He had realized the southernmost ungors were essentially knightbait at this point. Better to distract the enemy and leave the others free to make good across the river.

North:

The Aesling vanguard is relentless in it's pursuit of Mulrogs bersekrers.

The disengagement from the fortress is going as soomthly as can be expected.

The sack of 3 villages does not go without losses, but the screaming of Kislevite women more than makes up for it, be it to Cataphracts or to the Melniboneans.

Mulrog's party, acting as the vanguard, runs into a Strelsy ambush. Losses are taken, but the Strelsy are run down.

File: file.png (180 KB, 1651x1002)

South:

The movement goes without major losses. The Kislevite lancers are reluctant to spill their blood by chasing Ungors through the hills and choose to be content with firmly dividing the field into two, opportunistically looking for easy targets.

>>6120216
You're just in time!
The charge across the stream costs many warriors their lives, but it is ultimately the bondsmen, more agile and faster in crossing the stream, that draw the strelsy fire and pay the price for their bravery, buying time for the chaos warriors to close in and hack the strelsy to bits.
The hung strike at the kossars, cutting them down. Yet, they themselves are cut down when a reserve band charges them.

We can do the next turn right away.

>>6117721
No worries, shit happens. If you don't mind, I'll just keep taking Hangar's orders as he's keeping your horde out of harms way, until you fix your IP ban.

Figured it out. After I take the two villages & parlay with the Fimir, I'll amass my forces with yours Mulrog. Splitting your berserkers around the hill fort may just draw all the pursuing Aeslings into the Kislevite heavy infantry.

North first:

Movement was moving smoothly, the armies of Mulrog and Ivan maneuvering as ordered, avoiding the fire of the Kislevites and the pursuit of the Aeslings until a sally by the Strelsy caught a already used formation of horse-archers on a raft. Before they could react, gunfire cut them down. A neighbouring series of rafts replied in arrows, but it's only a question of time before they meet the same fate and join their comrades in drifting down the Tobol river, face down in the crimson waters.

Mulrog and Ivan are within striking distance of Ostrosk.

Now south:

Rue's chaos warriors successfully ford North Lynsk, their hell-cursed armor protecting them from rocks, arrows and javelins flying at them until they can close the gap and hew their way through the Kislevite militiamen.

To the south, Hangars chaos knights ford the same river and clear Kacirk of its brave defenders who put up a similar fight, but are eventually killed off by a uphill charge.

And to the east, Huffud's minotaurs clear out Yetchitch, their great clubs, cudgels, cleavers and steaks destroying the brave militiamen, pulverizing, cleaving limbs, crushing ribcages as the well over a hundred great warbeasts descend down.

And finally, to the south, the veteran beastmen chaos warriors, encased in both chaos and gromril armour, are crossing the Lynsk, when, from the rear, as 500 kislevite horsemen charge down upon them. Gunfire is directed at the veterans, arrows, bolts and javelins impact them, maybe not piercing the thick armours of the bodyguards, but certainly hurting, if not them, then the great Huffud.
Then, the charges directed towards the 200 of Huffuds bodyguards, a wave of Kislevite and horse slams into them, gleaming lance tips penetrates, first dwarven, then dawizhar steel, then mutated flesh.
And then, the steel starts singing, both in kislevite and in beastman hands. Limbs chopped, heads severed, ribs cracked and stomachs opened. And by the end of the last countercharge, 250 of the Kislevs best sons lay dead and a 100 of Huffud's bodyguards, the great cow-beast having recieved a cut along the front left leg.

Next turn please.

The Knights ride onward, the northern party drawing close to Rue to link up with his forces. In the south, Knights ride down the unit of advancing Streltsi as they cross the plains; then plunder the vacant village, with the other knights riding further onward; the rear units moving onward to catch up as best they can.

I hope everyone is alright IRL, good luck to you all.

Mulrog, it's looking rough for your Horse Archers. Might want to send your Chaos Warriors, or your Berserkers. Either way you might draw the Aeslings your way, but then you can ambush them at the river.

Lanu, would the Fimir accept cursed treasure as payment to hire them?

Huffud, I think making a deal with Magor for one of his Ungor packs to sacrifice themselves might be the only way you make it out of this one.

already planning on it. its probably the berserkers its not the best for their movement since i cant reach the river with the last movement point.

I would have hoped that the stresely would be informed of the coming horde and would have stayed on the hills. oh well. now they are getting cut down. lets hope the heavy infantry of Kislev will stay and fight. otherwise their houses will be overrun by our current pursuers.

as for my northern plan the Berserkers are to kill the Infantry in the hills while i plunder that township.

as for Ostrook i would prefer to use infantry to take the castle instead of throwing in and wasting my Heavy Cavalery with 3 and 4 damage. especially if the following horde is willing to pursue us further still.

Nice. Here's my movement for turn 10.
The monsters and heavy infantry will head for that village whilst the bondsmen and their backup will keep an eye on the open plains to the south.

HOL UP

i'm going to be indiposed around the middle of next week for the rest of this month, so I might as well stop fucking around. Going to change my movement real quick.

NEW MOVEMENT

The lord of the Dolgans & Wheatlands drinks deep of the potions & wines provided by his Melnibonean sorcerer. Captive Ungols are lined up & flayed open, the number of cuts corresponding to the sacral number belonging to each of the Gods of Chaos. "Tchar, guide my path through dreams. I offer these miserable wretches to you & your ilk this night, but soon a far greater gift will be offered...." The Zar sleeps in his saddle as his warband rides through the night.

A letter reaches Mulrog on raven's wings: "The treasures of Ostrosk shall be yours, the prisoner my own prize. We shall ride to Chamon Dharek with the witch tied to our horses. Your slaver-shamans forged the chains we need? When it is done, we shall split the plunder evenly, & the softened Sarls along the coast will call you lord. Our sons will have the great fortune to bicker over who should raize Kislev, Gods willing."

Rolled 99 + 20 (1d100 + 20)

Can't post images again, let me circumvent this range ban real quick...

Rolling for Warp Projection visions of the future: defenses at Ostrosk, will of the Gods, Chamon Dharek, etc.

>>6121651
The answering raven is glutted on the meat of the freshly slaughtered.

"So be it. The chains are forged, collar filled with lead and a gag of iron ready. Khorne willing the witch will not be able to utter a single sentence till we dragged her to Chamon Dharek and slaughtered the northmen following us."

>>6121396
Power might come back and stay on proper in next few days. For now, all ungors by or across the river keep following in the knights path!

That one unit of ungor far to the south? Might as well keep going south into the woods. No point in selling their lives for nothing (if there is another season, I can keep them I hope)

>>6121651
>>6121808
Dang, looks like you two are going to reach Ostrosk and have all the fun long before I arrive. I was hoping to let my men enact Slannesh's will upon the body of the witch before she gets dragged off.
Ah well, there's no shame in finishing off the remaining stragglers.
