Grudge match at Matorea

 

In the last turn of the campaign the Karaz a Karak player decided to cross the Black Gulf and attack his brothers of the Cult of Grimnir, starting a grudge-filled battle for the possession of a small coastal town

The mountain dwarfs got first turn and sniped Makaisson's goblin hewer with a catapult shot, taking down the only warmachine of the enemy in turn one

Then organ guns and quarrelers opened fire, killing two out of four doomsekers

Under a terrible barrage of fire the slayers kept advancing, leaving many comrades behind their death oaths to Grimnir at last fulfilled

While things went form bad to worse for the crazed dwarf maniacs in the left...

...their right flank looked much more promising

Charging two blocks of slayers a single unit of ironbreakers

While in the center Long Drong's pirates routed the thunderers with a fusillade of pistol shot

Both generals traded blows in the big melee, but even fully kitted with runes they didn't cause a single wound during the challenge

Around them however the slayers had killed a ton of ironbreakers with their two handed axes, causing the rout of the unit and the death of the general, killed by his short foes during the pursuit

On the left meanwhile just a line of dwarves had managed to reach the foe, challenging their dragonslayer an enemy hero

After routing the ironbreakers the slayers wiped out the quarrellers

Backing a longbeard unit against the corner

On the other side of the battlefield the dragonslayer finally managed to kill his opponent

Only to be swamped by his vengeful comrades and killed

Seizing the moment the longbeards charged and killed a score of slayers, who thanks to being unbreakable shrugged it off and kept fighting

In the right Drong and his mates attacked the second ironbreaker block, but facing greater numbers and rank after rank of stout dwarves, they lost the combat

And in the last charge of the game the longbeards were flanked by the general and routed from the field

In the end a battle that began as a slaughter of slayers in a surprising victory for the Cult of Grimnir

And with this last battle end the campaign turn. Keep in touch for the final battle next week where we will fight in a big multiplayer game to decide the fate of the Border Princes
