Two more battles

 We had a couple more games in the Siege of Praag campaign.

The first one saw my Tzeentch warband challenge Cyrus' one, they are the biggest and most powerful, so we needed to level them down in order to avoid too much of a gap with the other ones.

The battle background revolved around the appearance of a warped chaos brain plant in a nearby village, both champions wanted to collect parts of it in order to brew a magical potion granting immunity from any psychological effect for some members of the winning warband.

Khorne's followers arrayed for battle, you can see the mutant plant, the objective of the battle

The warband of Guillaume, the champion of Tzeentch is ready to take on the followers of Khorne (note the dragon model proxying for a dragon ogre)

Cyrus' centaur champion charged directly into the plant monster and, thanks to his daemon weapon, instantly slayed it obtaining the ingredient for the potion

Little he realized that the Blasted standard of Tzeentch was close by and ended up killing him with horrible mutations.

The battle ended with Guillaume swooping in with his disk of Tzeentch stealing the ingredient, but his human followers carrying the Blasted standard were killed and the standard was captured and destroyed by a band of Khorne's beastmen.

In the end the battle did bring the two warbands down a notch, I lost my very powerful magical standard and Cyrus lost his second warband champion and its daemon weapon.

The following battle was a big free for all, the chaos powers summoned their champions for a challenge to determine who will be leading the assault on the first defenses on Praag, the four warbands deployed on the corners of the table and the last remaining one would be granted an army to assault the city.

The battlefield near the city of Praag itself

The small, but very resilient warband of Nurgle with its horrible and almost unbeatable mechanical chaos spawns

My still very large warband of Tzeentch with beastmen, ogres, dragon ogres and a few remaining human brigands and horsemen

Khorne's bloodthirsty followers, mostly beastmen and orcs

The followers of Slaanesh, mostly humans with a few dwars and some powerful crossbowmen

The four warbands are deployed

The warbands start to get in position

Thunderstruck, the dragon ogre, ischarged by Shaq the chaos spawn, but kills it in the first round of combat and causes the bowmen to flee from the battlefield

Slaanesh and Khorne battle it out on the opposite flank

My horsemen mote to the eastern flak to keep an eye on the fight between Khorne and Slaanesh.

At this point, as it often happens, I got absorbed into the game and didn't take any more pictures.

The fight between Doyle (Slaanesh) and Cyrus (Khornd) ended when Khorne's followers, thanks to some poor leadershi and coolness tests, ended up fleeing the battle, on my side of the table, the ogres tried to engage the chaos spawns, but couldn't inflict much damage and ended up fleeing the table causing Guillaume itself to panic and flee on his disk, so the rest of the followers of Tzeentch decided to follow its example and I moved them off the table.

At this point all that was left on the table were che followers of Nurgle and some battered remains of Doyle's Slaanesh warband that decided to play it safe and left the field to the diseased ones.

Nurgle will then be in charge of the assault of Praag, next game will be a regular Warhammer game with Max's warband as part of a 2000 points Nurgle army attacking the external defences of Praag, I will be GMing while the three players will split command of the armies involved.

I'll make sure to provide army lists and proper pictures for a kind of battle report.
