Storm of chaos megabattle

 

And so we come to the last game of the Storm of Chaos campaign: a 4.000 points a side megabattle pitting four players in a massive fight on the road to Middenheim

Empire and dwarves hold the line faced by a horde of chaos and skaven abominations

The good guys got the first turn and started blasting way with tall the guns, the steam tank moving forward and unloading the hellbaster gun into the unit pushing the screaming bell

Meanwhile on the left both Archaon and Valten rode towards one another, resolved to decide the battle in a duel to the death

Hordes of rats swarmed the road

While imperials and dwarfs fired from the safety of some ruins

On the right things were far more quiet thanks to a couple of forests that hid the enemies from sight

But then a dastardly warplock engineer leapt in and started casting lightning bolts!

On the center meanwhile the steam tank had a close run with a hellcannon blast

And then was severly damaged by the warp lightning cannon

The allied artillery answered in kind blasting the hellcannon to bits

Both cavalries finally clashed, but the astute imperial player tanked the lord of the end times with a priest equipped with van Hortsmann's speculum while Valten slaughtered the swords of chaos

All alone the supposed everchosen turned tail and ran, only to be run down by the victorious imperials

The tank meanwhile was being swamped by hordes of slaves, but thanks to being in combat the bras orb launched into it bounced and landed on a skaven instead

More slaves menaced the gunline on the big hill

While the warriors with halberds were completely pastered by an organ gun

The slaves routed eventually the handgunners, pursuing them off the board

On the right side of the road things were being hampered by a ruined village, both sides getting closer and closer into charge range

The first to fall were the chaos undivided warriors, ravaged by the artillery and then pushed off the board by the hammerers

Who went on to rout yet another block of followers of the dark gods

Things went from bad to worse for the bad guys when a catapult shot started a big rout that made run the entire skaven flank

Turn five was reached and Valten and his knights charged the screaming bell, slaughtering scores of ratmen who stood their ground only thanks to being stubborn

But with just a score of units left it was all over for the forces of chaos, who beat a hasty retreat back to Kislev following their defeated champion. The empire had been saved thanks to the courage and fury of men and dwarfs!
