#116 Battle XXIX - The Price of Victory

With silent flashes of pure white light, Sigmar's blessed warriors returned to Azyr. And with the faintest rustle of settling dust, the last of the Lost Thorns crumbled and returned to the gravesoil once again. Where only moments before a battle had raged, all was now suddenly silent. Except perhaps for the echo of a Vengorian's screeched orders: "Take the ridge! Hold the ridge!"

And the deathrattle servants of Lord Elohiim had done precisely that. Almost every one of them - including their Soulblight lords - had fallen before the onslaught of the mighty Stormcast, yet they had taken the ridge, and they had held the ridge, and the day belonged to the Lost Thorns. It had been been won by great sacrifice, but that is right and proper. 

For Nagash is all, and all are one in Nagash.

That was my second game in our campaign, against a pretty intimidating Stormcast army including Yndrasta. Luckily, I remembered to play the objectives, which meant that despite suffering horrendous losses I still pulled off a major victory! I have some glory points I could spend but I think I'll probably wait and save up.

Unfortunately, my Necromancer was taken out in turn 1, and my Vengorian fended off Yndrasta until turn 2 by the skin of his fangs. This meant I only ended up with one chance to try and tame my Soulsnare Shackles, although I did manage to roll 6 quest points. Hopefully I'll complete that next time. 

My graveguard managed to level up to 'Aspiring' rank so they can now run and charge which should help to speed up the shambling hoard a little.
