Its time to enter your battles… :slight_smile:

Bloodbeard:

I’m impressed with that site. Very nice, considering it’s a wix site. It’ll be fun to see what they make from the results, what fluff they’ll release.

Abecedar:

I couldn’t get any interest around here so as to participate. Sad Face

tjub:

We will be doing our first battle tomorrow, sadly no Evil Dwarfs though. Goblins vs Dwarfs, but we will wreck some havoc for the dwarfs I hope… :slight_smile:

Carcearion:

Any agreeing opponents playing Good Armies at the tournament this weekend will be logged and recorded for the campaign! Especially any unkin who dare show their beards!!! :hat

We will crush those fools in Rhyn Dufaris!

You have my hat Abecedar! :hat off

They have a "world" book planned around x-mas or so. As I understood it the consequences for each location has more or less already been done, just waiting to see what arc will be used I guess. Will be fun, fluff wast a lot better than expected though rather thin compared to WFB. But no surprise there... :hat off

tjub:

Realized this thread is under the Chaos Dwarf discussion, but not necessary to start a new thread I guess so will just leave this here. Move if desired… :wink:

Had our first battle in EotA yesterday, 2000pts Dwarfs vs Goblins ended in a draw. The Dwarfs heard the call of the Green Lady and answered by sending a force north towards the Abyss. It can only be assumed that they ran into a huge force of retreating Goblins led by Grogg Split-Tooth and his Goons, desperate to get as far away as possible from the Abyss.

Abecedar:

As long as the Dwarfs suffered…

Carcearion:

Hmmm… draw Game, but who came ahead in the attrition score?

The Dwarfs sadly... By 100pts or so, he had two badly hurt Slayer units. Ive would have needed a 7th turn to take them out. :~

My fellow generals of evil! After some short deliberation over on the Mantic forum, a currently small but growing core of us have decided to begin coordinating the armies of evil and the focus we have decided for now is one region… The battle of the Abyssal Dwarves against the unkin in Rhyn Dufaris!

I�?Tm sending out the call here for Chaos Dwarf armies (or any other evil armies willing to lend a claw!), to challenge good players to this scenario and conquer Rhyn Dufaris for the forces of Darkness! If I�?Tm not mistaken Chaos Dwarf armies have an advantage in this scenario (Our whole army gets the Pathfinder special rule I believe, to represent our relentless march into the lands of our most ancient foes!). You don’t specifically have to play the Rhyn Dufaris scenario though if you want to you can report any game as a battle in this region.

Here is a link to the site tracking the campaign progress explaining how to participate, and to monitor the swing of battle across Mantica! (as well as cool maps, daily field reports, and statistics!)

"You have my dagger! We'll attack at dawn and hunt down any bearded stuntling we can find..." - Snark da King, fighting under the banners of Grogger Split-Tooth

tjub:

“Us attacked at dawn boss, da beardlings were outnumbered and fell right into our trap. No chance! All went just as planned boss… Until those Trombones didn’t go boom. Dere were several bowls of mushroom soup in the powder keg boss! Must’a been dose spitter boys boss. Jealous of our BOOM!

Not my fault boss, those pesky beardlings ran us down. But us will be back next time boss, more big BOOM next time boss!” -Snark da King

Carcearion:

An extra bit of information guys! Looking at the statistic the Rhyn Dufaris region has not been reported on much overall, and I feel very confident just the KoW players I know we have here on the forum could definitely swing it completely to evil control if we can all get in just one win before the end of the summer!

To report the battle you just give the match score (5/10/15 system, modified by attrition score), and send in three pictures of the game in progress. If you give them more information, I.E.: more pictures, a short bat-rep, a fluffy quote like Tjubs’ your report will actually count for more when scoring for the region!

Right now they are transitioning to a new website, so you’ll have to hold your reports until monday when a new site will be up (we will update the link as soon as the new site is up).

Third battle in the campaign, at Hokh-Man…

The winds of magic blew strong from the Abyss and Snarks minions prepared for another attack. This time with much needed support “Duuh” the Troll king.

“Yez boss, big victory! Dis time us had them by their throats. The fools, they ran right into our trap boss. Just as I planned, smart plan it was. Duuh and his ladz scared them boss. Ran 'em down from the side, Duuh got a bit distracted by the big boom machine in the forest. But his ladz went straight for the pig dwarf boss. Smacked him up real good boss, didn’t leave much for us. But my plan boss, good plan it was!”

Oh, missed this though… So make sure to log on before battle to keep yourself updated!

THE BRUTALITY OF THE ABYSS �?" NEW RULE UPDATE

It�?Ts been a great start to the campaign over on Beasts of War this week. Combined with the battle reports we have already taken, you�?Tve now submitted more than 300 battles�?� which is an amazing achievement. However, despite getting off to a flying start, it appears the forces of Evil are floundering a little under the onslaught of the Green Lady. But all is not lost�?�

In the depths of the Abyss, drums can be heard. Their constant pounding rises from the awful chasm. The sound travels an unnatural distance, and creates a terrible rhythmic boom that can be heard across Mantica. This solemn sound strikes fear into the Forces of Good, while the Forces of Evil are spurred to greater feats of violence. The Abyss has not lost the war, yet.

UNTIL MIDNIGHT (IN YOUR TIMEZONE) ON SUNDAY, ALL EVIL FORCES TAKING PART IN THE EDGE OF THE ABYSS CAMPAIGN GAIN THE BRUTAL SPECIAL RULE. THIS AFFECTS ALL EVIL UNITS THAT DON�?TT ALREADY HAVE THE BRUTAL SPECIAL RULE.

Carcearion:

Mewahahah!

This is the time my fellow generals of evil! If your planning on trying to flip the summer campaign this is the weekend to do it! Get a game in while the powers of darkness are waxing!

tjub:

@Carcearion: Jupp, too bad I just read it when I posted the battle report. Wont have time for another battle this weekend, otherwise an attack at Rhyn Dufaris would be nice.
