Joining the TK faction: Legions of Nehekhara
About Clan Husk: http://www.asur.org.uk/ulthuan/viewtopic.p...ghlight=#369089 and more fluff (Hey, don't throw stuff. Those who have read it, can just let it be): http://www.asur.org.uk/ulthuan/viewtopic.php?t=19547 BTW, Clan Husk consists of both "normal" skaven and undead. Who definately seems to have more control over their minds (sortoff) than undead humans. |

If you remember to close the Aethra for other eyes, we probably would have some use of it. So, NurgSquee / Jac-Jaculus! Are you rising from your tomb? And what was that note about Sneaky? So far only Boda and I represent Clan Husk. We have a great banner and get to ride chariots :P. If we put it in our fluff. |

Things are happening amidst the dunes: Day1 The warlock sent a great warplightning to zap 5 skinks, the rest moved in position. But right after he fried himself , luckily without taking any from his unit with him. The slaves did get what seemed too close to the Saurus warriors, who charged, killed, but failed to run the fleeing runts down. Surprise. A clanratunit flanked them, and without killing a single, sent the reptiles fleeing (CR) and succeeded catching them. A Scar-wet killed our stupid chieftain, but the Gouger did give the big guy a wound, so the globadiers got him with their spheres. The rest of the Lizzies ran away or got butchered. All for the prize of both my characters and a nightrunner. Oh, and a worthless bunch of slaves got away in the dunes. (Warlord Gulag and his Clan Husk Stormers winning over a Lizardarmy) Day3 Due to incompetence my worthless underlings let an elite unit (TombGuards)reach my personal guard (Stormvermin)and kill them all. Luckily I outsmarted the fools, and escaped by hacking my way through a few weak footsoldiers. (Warlord Gulag and his Clan Husk Stormers making a tactical retreat facing some arabs) Day4 Shortly after the Legion’s invasion of Melrhir oasis, Clan Husk’s sandrunners encountered a fast moving force of lizard-things along the hills east of the oasis. The army was getting close and it would obviously take a serious threat to get them to change their direction. The sandleader hastily returned to the nearest Clan Husk official: Mushwar, who quickly assembled a force that would be big enough to discourage the invaders. The battle quickly began once Clan Husk started pouring out of the hillside en masse. The lizardmen put up an incredible fight and those few regiments of elite troops that Mushwar had been able to assemble were quickly cut down by the Carnosaur, Kroxigors and Saurus warriors. Under the iron gaze of their superiors, the clanrats were luckily able to take up some of the slack and cut down some losses for the lizardmen as well. In the end, both armies suffered too much losses to be able to continue the fight any longer. Clan Husk paid for this diversion with a heavy price, but luckily got the job done nonetheless. The lizard-things were retreating and would not come back to the oasis very soon. (Mushwar Moldfang and the Keepers of the Holy Pact having a draw to Lizardmen) Day7 During one of the battles in the fight for Melrhir Oasis, Mushwar's Keepers were tasked by the sand kings to prevent a brettonian strikeforce from reaching the lines of the enemy and beat them back out of reach of the camps around the oasis. Mushwar had been unwittingly provided with incompetent followers however when it became apparent that a unit of sand runners that were supposed to sacrifice themselves and tie up the charging knights, decided to make run for it in the last minute. Mushwar summoned the magic given to him by the sand kings to 'persuade' the heretical runners to turn back, but to no avail. Needless to say, the knights were able to charge right through a large regiment of clan husk spearrats this way and Mushwar had to retreat his troops back to the lines of the camps where they could be replenished again. Fortunately, the zeal of the impetious knights made them chase the fleeing rats a long way in a direction oposite to the oasis. Perhaps Mushwar might still be spared the wrath of his superiors and be rewarded for executing such a brilliant and daring tactic. (Mushwar Moldfang and the Keepers of the Holy Pact divert a Bretonian legion to pursue) Day8 While the armies of the sand kings are moving towards their new target, wadi oasis, Mushwar's Keepers are selected to protect the flanks, but unbeknowst to them, the brettonian army that had been diverted earlier came back to assault the massive army again. Surely the worthless sand runners should be blamed for not providing the necessary information about this strike, but luckilly the brilliant strategic mind of 'ol Mushwar quickly thought of a diversionary tactic that would send the brettonian regiments charging after several clanrat regiments that had been trained to run quickly through the desert sand. Another regiment of the impetious errant knights found themselves flanked and overrun by the frenzied followers of the pact, but sadly mushwar himself was forced to retreat from the battle as the deadly fire of the peasant's astonishing marksmanship. At the end of the battle, both forces were pretty much routed, even though the brettonians had a few regiments left, they were in no shape to endanger the rest of the legions. (Mushwar Moldfang and the Keepers of the Holy Pact luring the Brets further into the desert) Day9 The skaven of Clan Husk sneaked up to the unaware arabs, but some large birds flew up and cried out. A magician made swarms of bugs and a gigantic scorpion emerge from the dunes. The bugs attacked and ran down a whole unit. So did the scorpion, but when following the running survivors, it smashed into the rear of the stormvermin. Here warlord Gulag was bravely leading from behind. Thus alone at first against the creature giving it a wound. The cunning planning of Gulag had the spy(assassin) Spitznaz hidden in the bodyguardunit, and he rushed to the aid. The manylegged killerbug was butchered without losing a single wound. The birds killed our special unit digging up in the middle of the arabcamp, but when attacking the stormvermin the flyers met their doom. The enemy magician cast a lightning but it died out. Dispelled. And the powerfull mage found himself exposed to the expensive jezzail sharpshooters. After the death of their magician the arabs panicked and, at an acceptable cost of skavenlifes, was almost extinct. Only their tribeleader escaped with his archers and their terrorcausing giant. (Warlord Gulag and his Clan Husk Stormers taking revenge over same arabs) |

Leading up to what seems to be an entertaining ending. Cityfighting: http://z3.invisionfree.com/Animosity2/inde...=428&st=0&#last If any rat (or others) are interested, we still have room in the Legions of Nehekhara. Both at Clan Husk, as faithful undead or as mercenairies. |

Congratz to the Pi-rats for their amazing comeback, after spending most of the campaign in the bottom. As you undoubly is aware of, the Legions of Nehekhara ended in the very rear. <_< But it seems, that in all campaigns I have participated in, the TK-players are extremely not-active. Aaron Mon did post a lot, and my "usual" opponent also did post some reports. Unfortunately other desert rats suffered from RL-issues, resulting in posting only a few battles. No offence. I fully blame Bodacious for luring me into reviving clan Husk (Pirats were considered, but I can't spell "Yaarrr" right :rolleyes: ) Nah. I got some quick games, which is better than none, but I think I prefere fewer but a bit bigger. As a sideeffect I have finally settled on making my warlord army (Eshin is still my preferred) Clan Husk- themed. Now I just have to paint some thousand point of troops in desertcolours ![]() Banner for "my" clan ![]() "Spitznaz" Master spy, and part-time assassin. |

None taken. I screwed up big time . I thought I was definately going to be able to make time for the whole campaign, but after the first two weeks the people at the store I go to simply stopped caring about fantasy games and it got harder and harder for me to get battles in. I could've kept writing fluff or participating in other ways, but then my university work started taking a turn for the worse as well and it'll still take until friday for me to be able to return to my previous levels of online activity. It wasn't just my A2 activity that suffered from this, but I've been able to get online for this site less and less as well. Oh well, enough excuses. @Morgoth: I'm glad to hear that you still had fun with the campaign and that you've always been there to represent Clan Husk. If there was some sort of 'underempire badge of campaigning achievement' I would have awarded it to you now. Here's to hoping that come next campaign, I'll have a lot more free time on my hands so that I can join in again to spread the word of the desert rats (I'm still completely in love with my converted 'Mushwar' model and mark my words he's going to get an army someday) .
