sent a flaming skull directly through its mutated body, killing it instantly!
The other Skullcannon damaged the Doomwheel, causing it to veer off
course and crash into the Rat Ogres, killing one beast and wounding
another.
Turn 1 - Skaven
The Doomwheel careered out of control again and zig-zagged wildly
from the battlefield as the ringing of the Bell incited the Stormvermin
to move forward towards the eagerly awaiting demons. The Packmaster
sent his rats forward to try to block their advance as the Grey Seer
prepared his spells.
A crevasse opened in front of the Stormvermin as the Grey Seer cast
Cracks Call and reached almost all the way through the demonic army.
One Bloodletter wasn't agile enough to save himself and the Skaven
cheered as a Skullcannon slowly toppled into the depths of the earth!
The Seer attempted to cast Death Frenzy on the Stormvermin but this
time Khorne intervened and the sorcery was dispelled.
The Plague Claw catapult and the Poisoned Wind Mortar both shot at
the Bloodletters but were wildly inaccurate.

against the forces trying to pull him back into the Realm of Chaos
(I rolled a 3 on the Reign of Chaos table :) ).
The demon promised his master the skull of the Grey Seer and
Khorne's anger filled the Bloodthirster and his lesser servants who
all charged the Skaven line.

The Bloodthirster and the Flesh Hounds crashed into the Stormvermin
and were joined shortly after by the Bloodletter Horde who ripped
apart the Giant Rats as if they weren't there, following up directly
into the Skaven horde.

The remaining Cannon shot another burning skull, killing a Rat Ogre
and a packmaster.
The Bloodthirster roared as he charged at the enemy Battle Standard
Bearer who although suffering a wound, somehow managed to survive
the attacks of the bloodthirsty demon. The Stormvermin struck at the
infernal forms surrounding them, killing three Bloodletters, wounding a
Flesh Hound and even managing to wound the raging Bloodthirster,
but were then left defenseless against the fury of the demonic horde.
The hate-filled eyes of the Bloodletters were fixed on the Skaven
general and twelve Hellblades swung as one towards the Grey Seer.
The last thing he saw before they pierced his furry skin was a vision of
a dark horned God sitting on a throne of Skulls. Gibbering with terror
and pain, the Skaven felt his soul being wrenched away from his
body as Khorne's eyes blazed directly into his and he heard a
body as Khorne's eyes blazed directly into his and he heard a
fell voice saying "YOU ARE MINE!"
Twelve Stormvermin were cut down by the remaining demons.

The Skaven were shaken by their losses but drew strength from the
form of the Screaming Bell and prepared themselves for another
round of combat.
Had they weathered the worst?
Turn 2 - Skaven
Urged on by the packmasters, the Rat Ogres charged into the massed
ranks of the Bloodletters as the Doomwheel returned to the battlefield.
ranks of the Bloodletters as the Doomwheel returned to the battlefield.
The Screaming Bell rang again and unleashed a storm of fire onto the
Bloodcrushers, wounding one, and the Khorne demon was then
enveloped in a cloud of plague-ridden gas from the Plagueclaw
Catapult and fell to the ground dead. The poisoned wind mortar
launched another cloud of noxious fumes at the Furies, killing one.
The Rat Ogres ripped apart eleven Bloodletters and the Stormvermin
killed four more, but the fury of the Khornate worshippers had not abated and the Bloodletters struck back, killing eleven Stormvermin
and two Rat Ogres outright. The Bloodthirster finally killed the Skaven
Battle Standard Bearer and 6 more of his comrades and the Blood
Hounds continued to worry the Skaven flank, killing three more
Stormvermin.
Seeing that the battle was lost, the packmasters turned tail and ran
with their charges scampering behind them as the crew of the poisoned
wind mortar dropped their weapons and also fled.
The Furies charged the Rat Ogres, running them off the field before
redirecting into the Plagueclaw Catapult.

The remaining Stormvermin managed to kill two more Bloodletters but
were all killed by the triumphant demons. The Bloodthirster cleaved the
abandoned Screaming Bell in twain before turning to face the Doomwheel.
The Doomwheel advanced towards the Bloodletters, killing two with
as many bolts of Lightning as the crew of the Plagueclaw Catapult
managed to send a fury back to the realm of chaos.
With a roar the demons charged the last Skaven on the field. The
Blood Hounds slaughtered the last of the crew defending the catapult
and the Bloodthirster and his minions smashed the Doomwheel,
crushing the rats powering it and killing the Warlock directing it.
The last Skaven were dead and the Daemons were triumphant!
Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!
Having seen the line-up on the side of the Skaven, this battle was
always going to come down to a big showdown between the
Bloodthirster and Bloodletters on one side and the Stormvermin
and the Rat Ogres on the other, and once the Grey Seer had been
killed and the Rat Ogres beaten back without crippling losses there
was only going to be one outcome.

Despite the lack of magic my troops performed superbly and sent
the rats packing in a gratifyingly short time. A very satisfactory
first outing for the servants of Khorne!
