Stand at Neues Emskrak

 

Beaten at Hergig the hordes of chaos them move to Nordland attacking a dwarf throng in Neues Emskrak 

The lord of the end times, Archaon himself, leds an elite army to conquer the razed nordlander town

Leading the charge by the right while a chariot and a unit of warriors move by the left

Sadly for the followers of the dark gods a chariot is flattened by a catapult shot

Crashing its brother into the runic anvil

Slowed down by magic chasms opened by the anvil the Swords of Chaos are decimated by massed dwarf firepower

While the runelord holds on stubbornly

The Everchosen makes his first charge only to be tanked by a heroic champion and a double 1 on the demoralization roll

Thing go from bad to worse when the chariot flees trough the warriors

And the entire unit is blown to bits by an organ gun

Hammerers and warriors than gang up on Archaon

And force him to flee with some damage

The lord of the end times however rallies

And one by one kills all the dwarven characters who tank him in several challenges

Even the hellcannon is destroyed by artillery fire

Leaving the Everchosen alone and soundly defeated on the field of battle

Chaos lord

 

Painted an AoS hero as a chaos lord on foot to represent Ivarr the Bonebreaker, the leader of my warhost previously seen at the head of his chaos knights. The newer model is suitably imposing, and way bigger than the simple mortals of the Empire as seen in the picture above

Estalian arquebusiers

 

Painted some more handgunmers to be able to field two regiments of 10. These are 3D prints from the old 4th ed models, which had a lovely conquistador/estalian style

The liberation of Hergig

 

With the Storm of Chaos engulfing the Empire Karl Franz takes the lead and attacks the hordes of chaos in Hergig, besieging the fallen capital of Hochland with the army of Altdorf

First breach is made in the fortress gate, broken in with massed cannon fire

The rest of the imperial army moves to the assault covered by this bombardment

While the chaos warriors cower behind the walls

Atop Deathclaw the Emperor jumps the walls and disembowels a chaos champion

Smashing next into the chosen unit

The Carroburg greatswords push the tower into the wall

While their liege is having a field day beheading followers of the dark gods with the Reikland runefang

Terrified by the bloodthirsty Emperor the chaos warriors reform and retreat

While on the walls the regiment of Khorne keeps the greatswords in a stalemate

But by then the imperial bombardment has taken its toll on the fortress, taring down a section of wall and opening the way for the halberdiers

Who seize two sections of  the city with help from the Bögenhafen swordsmen

Not even the explosion of one greatcannon can turn the tide

Sandwitching Karl and the tank the cowardly regiment of warriors 

And forcing them from the table

In just five turn the bulk of the chaos forces have been annihilated and the city of Hergig falls back in imperial hands

Warriors of Nurgle

 

Regiment of warriors from Avatars of War converted with GW banner and other bits. The armour was done with dark green mixed with brown followed by a lighter green mix drybrush and nuln oil followed by vallejo sepia ink. The rotting flesh is regular skin tones mixed with brown and then the same nuln oil+vallejo sepia was of the armour
