This took place at Zundap about a week and a half ago so I don't think it'd make any sense to post it in the SoC forums. But, I could change the location and say it happened at Struhelspan or RBB or however you spell those man-thing warrens. Enjoy and tell me what you think! I won't post the lists in the SoC version, but I thought I should put it in the underempire version cuz you guys are just too cool...or something... you can find my list here Although note, that my Plague Priest switched out his equipment for the dwarf slayer and the ToP My opponents list was something like 1 thane 1 BSB w/ banner of slowness (gets my PCB's everytime, when will I learn! )1 flame cannon (eep!) 1 Stone thrower (lesser eep) 1 cannon ( :lol: ) 2 units of 25strong hw shield warriors (thane was in one of these) 2 units of 25 strong great weapon warriors (bsb was in one of these) Plague Priest Sarzskittar attempted to reveiw his battle plan one more time. Although it was hard to cut through the fog of death and insanity that permeated his mind. "Think-think, dwarf-things on hill with machines bad, dwarf-things on feet with armor die-die". That wasn't so hard, after all he was hand picked by the grey seer Verminous Fang to lead this mission to wipe out the last dwarf position in the doomed city of Zundap. He was chosen out of all the Pestilence envoys for he had the greatest experience in combatting dwarfs. He had hammered, literally, the idea to adopt a loose formation into his subcommanders to minimize the losses to the dwarven artillery. The firing of cannon and other such trifles brought the priest back into reality, he had an army to lead! With a chittering roar the battle commenced. His eshin lackies going up the flanks, hopefully to bypass the dwarven defenders and assault the war machines directly. Next to them, packs of mutated rats were running up, matching the night warriors stride for stride. In the center he saw the main blocks of clanrats marching forward, waiting for a break in the stunted folks line. Along with the slaves, these were not just of rat kin, but also from goblin warparties and the surviving dwarfs of previous encounters in the doomed city. These wretchs were pushed forward in an effort to disrupt and confuse the hairy warriors. Sarzskittar noticed that the skryre weapons teams along with one of their engineers taking cover in a tiny grove in the center of the battle field. "cowards" he spat. His own retinue of plague monks advanced swiftly along the left flank, accompanied by his fanatically censer bearers, who's dirges and chants echoed in the dark recesses of his mind. Finally battle was joined. Sarzskittar and his company along with the moulder rats crashed into the dwarfs defending the flank. Sarzskittar along was the only one to bring down a dwarf-thing, for the weapon he carried with him pulsed with warpstone and hungered for dwarven bloood. Beleaguered on two sides and watching their clansmen cut down with ease by a lunatic rat, the dwarfs fled, only to be caught and destroyed by the a-forementioned lunatic. Sarzskittar's censer bearing monks attempted to reach the dwarfs adjacent to the now destroyed flank but could not. The Priest saw that the stunted folks warbanner flashed and made the bearers weak and slow. However, the slaves that were supposed to accompany the bearers made it through. They were in alone...oh well. However what was more disturbing was the warriors mauled the slaves and pursued right into the precious bearers. These great axe wield beard-things were cutting a bloody swath through Sarzskittars line! Soon they were engaged with a unit of clanrats led by the trigger-happy skryre engineer l33tsqueak, who fired a warpstone bullet right through the head of the leading dwarf. This did not help anything for the dwarfs slaughtered the clanrats and pursued the fleeing techno-wizard and cut him down. Oh well, thought Sarzskittar, that rat talked funny. But there was a mixed blessing in the destrution of the rats. The stunted ones were now so far out of range that they would not be a threat to the rest of the battle. Foolish Khazalids! Meanwhile on the right flank, the night runners and giant rats were proceeding unhindered and would soon engage, and defeat the crew of the dread flamecannon, which had not done much during the battle, due to Sarzskittars clever deployment. However, just before the moulder and eshin teams could win the day, a new unit appeared. These dwarves weilded picks and had wax stuck on their heads. Miners! With this new element, the war machines were protected from that side, so it mattered little to Sarzskittar when he saw the flame cannon pivet on the spot and roast the hapless eshin warriors. But now, the skryre weapons returned fire in kind, with fire. The Warpfire thrower aimed high and squirted burning warpstone fuel all over the miners and the warriors protecting the flank. Many fell, roasted alive in the suits that were supposed to protect them. Seeing what remained of their brothers in arms, the dwarves retreated, in fact, the entire flank retreated. Hoping to find a safe haven further toward where they came from. However, this would not save them, seeing a breach in the dwarf-things defences, the entire Skaven host as a whole flew upon the fleeing beardlings. The only dwarfs left alive was the unit that was stranded at the other end of the field, and they would never return to report the destruction that had been wrought by the Envoy of Blight Sarzskittar. In the name of the Horned one, and of his advocate, Verminous Fang. hurray for rolling 10 three times consecutively for panic checks. muaahahahahaha so, what'd you think? I hope it wasn't too confusing when I went through the entire game on one flank, then the entire game on the other flank. Do you guys think it's SoC worthy, or is it kinda late due to the fact that Zundap fell a few days ago. flame away!

Feel free to post it as is, but instead of taking place at either Zundap or Struhelspan, have it take place between them. Or, since it's SKaven and Dwarfs, and we are tunneling beneath Struhelspan, have it take place in the tunnels we're digging.

Go forth my brethren, that we shall nibble at the roots of the old world! We are the rats in the shadows. We hold the blades of corruption, aimed at the very heart of the Old World. We are The Council of Thirteen. Second place in the UnderEmpire painting competition! | |
