Resurrection at Dreadstone Blight

I played a battle tonight using my Narrative Battleplan "Stuff of Legends".  We rolled up about the most boring thing we could have, so I'll have to do a little work to make sure that things aren't boring, but even so it was a pretty fun battle.  On the Victory Conditions table, we rolled up "Monument" for the Objective, which is what made it a bit dull.  I had Flesh-eater Courts and got "Command" for my motivation while my brother brought Beastmen and appropriately got "Ruin".  We brough artefacts and since I picked the Cursed Book, I decided that my heroes had read the book and were trying to use the Dark Magic TM of Dreadstone Blight to reanimate Uncle Ivan's deceased wife, the Ghoul Queen.

We also picked the Ashlands Time of War from Godbeasts.  Fortunately, my local game store has a nice selection of battlemats, so we were fighting over LAVA!

I was glad we chose a large central objective because it helped break up the big battle in the middle that would have otherwise ensued.  We ended up having a Bullgor fight on one side of the Dreadstone Blight, and a Bestigor fight on the other side.

Uncle Ivan is on the Terrorgeist, commanding the Dreadstone Blight.  Rurkar Festigor (Beastlord) is on the other side smashing the building to pieces.

The Bestigors were determined to bring the tower down.  Sadly, in the end, the Brayherds were completely tabled.  We ended with 5 Victory Dice for the Flesh-eater Courts and 4 for the Brayherds.  After rolling, Uncle Ivan managed to resurrect his dead wife, for whom I will now have to find a suitable model.

The Bestigors after they met Crypt Horrors (also got Death Shrieked by a Terrorgeist).

I look forward to trying out the battleplan again.  The most cinematic moment the battleplan created was on the first turn when I offered my brother a Victory Dice to sacrifice Skreet the Warlock Engineer to the Pyroclasm (it's an Ashstorm thing).  The reason Skreet is not pictured is because it killed him :( poor little rat.  However, I think that the low number of available Victory Dice applied downward pressure on our level of interest in awarding them to eachother.

Thanks for the battle report. I'm mainly a narrative gamer so will have to try - really like the idea of Victory Dice as it gives the person who may of gotten less dice from various factors (match-up, bad rolls, scenario, etc.) the ability to actually squeak out a win.
