“How is he?” Tanith Asked as he
dismounted the Wave Serpent.
Farlin shrugged and tilted his head
slightly. “As well as can be expected I suppose.” The Dire
Avenger Exarch gestured to the Spirit Seer to follow and lead him
into the small fortress the Warhost was using as a base of
operations. They entered and walked down a short hallway before
turning. Tanith could feel the energy flowing through the wraithbone
of the bases structure.
“We lost Ti'Fani in the battle.
The blood lust of Khaine overtook her upon Delbaeth falling to the
greenskins.”
“Did you recover her stone?”
queried Tanith.
“Yes Seer we did, and Delbaeth was
not dead.” The Exarch lead Tanith into a dark room. He stopped
and gestured for Tanith to stay in the hall for a moment. Tanith
stood, feeling the raw emotion flowing out of the room in waves.
Farlin came out and spoke softly. “He is calm for now, I hope you
can reach him.”
“I will do my best, but the
scaring runs deep. I can feel it from here.”
I will be coordinating our forces if
you need me. The room down the hall on the left is the CNC.”
“ I thank you Exarch.” Tanith
paused and spoke again before entering the room. “ If you could see
to the cargo I brought with me.”
“ Of course Seer.” Farlin began
to walk away but turned to face the Spirit Seer. “What are you
planning that you require so much ? Also was that a Wraithlord in the
stasis pod? Delbaeth isn’t dead as I stated earlier”
“I am fulfilling a promise. That
is all. Worry not Exarch the Wraith construct is not for the
Autarch”
The Spirit Seer turned and walked
into the room. Delbaeth sat at a table motionless and silent.
“Autarch let us talk. Ti'Fani spoke well of you” Tanith sat
across from the Autarch. “You have doubts I know, but with my help
we shall overcome them together.” “My sisters vengeance cannot
be carried out alone.......”
Well we had a battle royal this past
campaign night. BigMek SkrapKlaw hit the webway gate to try and
reclaim it. The remainder of my Warhost rallied to defend it. It
would seem that revenge was the BigMeks intention though as he ram
rodded his whole army strait towards my Autarch. In a genius move on
my part I broke him off of the unit he was attached to to fusion gun
the BigMechs battle wagon. I also Broke Ti'Fani off from the same
unit of Dire Avengers and cast Death Mission. My ditzy farseer went
super saiyen and began to pummel the other battle wagon at the front
of the army. Now my intention was to bust open the wagon containing
the big mech and then hose down the mob inside with shuriken fire.
Sadly I missed with the fusion gun and rolled a 4 for my jet pack
move. So I did get to poor a ton of fire into the mob to get it down
to a manageable size, but it was after they charged and killed
Delbaeth.
Two and a half units of guardians and
my Dire Avengers killed most of the boys with the BigMek and then The
Exarch, Farlin, wounded the BigMek in close combat. The orcs broke
at combat resolution and the Avengers lived up to their name and cut
down the BigMek and his remaining boyz in a hail of shuriken fire as
they ran. Sadly as the orcs departed they lit up Ti'Fani and killed
her. Her story is not over though. She is too entertaining.
Now with the orcs pulling out and in
full retreat, the host of Nurgle Daemons that was also in this 4 way
battle had to be dealt with. The gate was infested with Nurglings as
the larger daemons advanced. Luckily I had an unspoken and
undeclared non aggression pack with The Judge.....and his Grey
Knights.
Needless to say Papa Nurgle retreated
faced with my remaining Eldar and a Full 2250 point force of Grey
Knight Terminators. The gate was held. I sadly had to abandon it.
I had to leave and destroy the gate to prevent the forces of chaos
from taking it or using it. This was the price of the Grey Knights
help in the battle.
Small price to pay though. I now have
my Warhost at its new hub. Spellduckwrong donated one for the cause.
I am bringing in re-enforcements in the form of wraith units and a
Spirit Seer. I am also bringing in Ti'Fani 2.0. Ti'Fani the
Wraithseer.
We will see how things go. I am
building a fortress of redemption on my hub so it is well defended.
Combine it with the 500 point garrison we are allowed at the hub, for
hub defense only, It should be able to repel some fair sized forces.
Now that the Combined Craftworld force is consolidated a bit and
regrouped we plan on really bringing the pain on our neighbors. Tune
in next week for the update.
Until then....
Blood Runs, Anger Rises, Death Wakes,
War Calls!!!!!!!!!!!!!
