Forbidden Power -Battle Three

The Aelves had heard that following his victory at Castle Drachmir, The Daemon Prince Tarak Skorl was now marching through the Howling plains. So riding the whirlway of Haedrann Kar, the Deepkin headed for the Tower of Amnis Tol, Valentornous and his Idoneth cohort arrived at the Stormcast outpost just in time to see the impending red tide….

SoulScryer Lakhimmon the Voidtouched, suggested they split their force and the mounted Akhelians remained with him in the aether sea – whilst the Eidolon led the Namarti to help the Sigmar’s lightning men defend the Warscryer Citadel. Skorl and his Ripped Tongue regiment descened upon the tower, with the Bloodcrushers racing down the right flank. They were the first to find battle as they smashed through a troop of Liberators who were decimated before being able to lift their hammers in anger.

The Eidolon replied by casting several spells using the newly found realmstone wand artefact, including Quicksilver swords which headed for the nearest unit of Bloodletters. At the same time the thralls braced themselves for the oncoming Crushers.

Lakhimmon navigated the aether sea as he sensed it was time for the Akhelian king and his attendant princes to enter the battle. Arriving behind the enemy, they lay in wait to decide where to hit first. Skorl and Karanak halted their advance and the Bloodletters also stayed with them as they anticipated the high tide.

Valentornous on his Deepmare, along with the Fangmora eels, surged forward in a ruthless tsunami that took down the Daemon general, his hell hound lieutenant, the Slaughterpriest Karsus of the Brass Axe as well as severely depleting a unit of Bloodletters.

The Blades of Khorne retaliated in anger but were reckless as they were still riding the crest of the Deepkin wave. Although the eels began to fall quickly so too did the Bloodcrushers, slain by the Namarti who were bolstered by the presence of the Eidolon.

The tide subsided and many skulls had been added to the tithe, the Skulltaker took this chance to summon a large unit of Bloodletters and commanded them to advance on the final objective. Fortunately for the aelves a unit of Thralls were able to take out the majority of the daemons, losing only three in return. As Valentornous and Lakhimmon both fell the tithe rose further and 5 flesh hounds emerged from the Skull Altar and flanked the thralls at the objective. Again fortune favoured the Idoneth and the Narmati stood strong with their superior numbers deciding the extremely close battle.
