Tim,

Sorry to hear about the family emergency, you will not be able to make it this evening. Will hope everything resolves quickly, and look forward to seeing you next gaming session.

Hi all,
Here is the latest issue of the Mordheim Gazette covering the campaign.

Good Stuff Michael!
I like that the Border Princes Region has some media coverage.

[Eilif]

I'm not going to do a full battle report for each game, but if I can have a single paragraph, the game result and a couple pics of each game I'd like to put out a campaign blog post before the next campaign game.

[Mattias!]

I do not remember the name of Chris's warband so they appear below as [insert Chris's warband here]

Feel free to add/adjust any text or photos from your side of the table Chris!

...Meanwhile rumor reached the war councils of an ancient tomb somewhere in the wastes. Supposedly entombed there was a legendary warrior, along with the legendary blade that was his downfall.

Samira the Salacious dispatched riders to find a band of sellswords brave or foolish enough to attempt to recover the Daemonic Sword. They were lucky enough to happen upon Aulrig (himself a bored prince in exile and in no small measure foolish) and his disgraced retinue. A deal was struck over gold to be exchanged and Aulrig's band set off into the waste.

After many days' search, guided by the wyzard Glendywyr's daemonic consorts, they came to the forgotten vale where stood crumbling the ancient memorial. Unfortunately for Aulrig, there also stood around the base of the tomb an opposing warband, [insert Chris's warband here], already pulling the Daemonic blade from it's ancient resting place.

Aulrig gave the order to charge and his armored warriors advanced on the tomb. The strife was great; the mighty knights of both bands opened each other's veins with vicious strikes and fell dying to the primeval stone; Geezer the orc tracker sent arrow after arrow thudding into his foes; arcane lightning sizzled from the sky; and in the carnage it looked like [insert Chris's warband here] were going to escape with the Daemon Sword. But at this dire moment Glendywyr, darkest sorcerer, summoned forth the daemon Z'bthZ'thoth--yea, the very daemon that helped guide him to the tomb--and the remains of [insert Chris's warband here] were forced to abandon the sword and flee. Aulrig, good enough to his word on his best days, delivered the blade to the forces of Slaanesh and collected a bounty that would fuel a fortnight's extravagant revels.

Dude,
That's a great writeup. For these not-battle-reports, I'm definitely going to go for a narrative style write-ups and you nailed it.

[gattz]

For that session I'll go with these names:

Gravel Wolves -
Stabbins - Orcish Rogue
Grugg - Ogre smasher
Octalvior Daiyorio - Sorceror
Lathen'el Atheuwikii- Elf ranger
Morthrom Wodenn - Barbarian
Ser Halmir - Knight

I'll have to look to see if I have any images that came out good enough and add when I have the chance.

[Eilif]

Just about finished the battle reports. One final clarification needed. Michael won the battle vs Mike right? Or was it a tie?

[Michael S.]

Mike won the scenario by taking the objectives, I had none. Towards the end of the game I was taking more of his units so he said he would retreat which left the section in my control.

Thanks for the clarification.
I've made the adjustments and submitted the post. I'll try and be quicker this month. Also, I've given up on having play by plays for these. If we can get a few pics and a paragraph from each battle that will be enough for each campaign night report.
