Second trials, Chaos chaos CHAOS!!!!!!

As a preface for this. Midway I stopped keeping track of each individual, and wrote a single wall of text, my apologies. Next, this battle was organized with a handful of models, literally I just grabbed a bunch of stuff. I wanted a match that, if the SW did well, they could end it quickly, but if they did poorly it would quickly turn against them. A naked herald of nurgle with +1 wound and the portal glyph. I think, 7 plaguebearers, 8 cultists and a flesh hound. Cultists outflanking, and the fleshound coming in from reserves to cause a bit of havoc late game. As I went through the trials, I added a bit of narrative, such as additional summons, and some rewards for the cultists who did well. It turned out to be a very, very enjoyable match. 


SW lose first turn, 1-2 and fail to seize.
Both armies advance, BC don't fail any leadership. Cultists outflank turn 2! Daemons charge in, Rignus scores another wound on the herald with overwatch, then slams him into the ground with his counter attack. Then quickly hurries to attempt to destroy the horrible portal glyph. Kordar is charged but the fires have no effect on the daemon, he fails to cause any wounds, but manages to hold off the plaguebearer. Unfortunate, as there are plenty of targets for his flamer now. Gehgin is assaulted by nurglings, and with a fury deals 3 wounds to the horrible little creatures. However the swarm manages to bring him down with a lucky blow. A volley of fire from the SW takes out the portal glyph, 2 cultists and the nurglings. All of the wolves but Thogus make their charge putting all but 2 cultists in CC, daemon and heretic blood will stain the ground! Rignus obliterates a plaguebearer with his power maul, Thir strikes down a plaguebearer with his chainsword, Baergbar slams his powerfist into a plaguebearer , taking its torso clean off its body. However kordar and Rov, while causing wounds to the plaguebearer, cannot seem to inflict any damage on it whatsoever. The forces of nurgle are weakened, but still remain! Geim, Bul and Dunaak slay cultists, but Yeraim is struck down by a lucky bayonette jab. The gods are so pleased with the cultist, they reward him. Rolling double 6 on the table, the lowly cultist becomes a daemon prince. The flesh hound is drawn to the slaughter and enters the material realm and runs towards Rignus. Bul Consolidates back away from the newly spawned daemon prince, nearly certain this will be his final foe. The daemon prince advances, while the 2 remaining cultists fall into a mad rage upon gazing at the daemon prince. They assault Dunaak and Geim, overwatch misses and geim faulters, failing his counter attack and fumbles with his attacks! Even in the cultists mad rage it only manages to scratch Geims armor. The daemon prince Charges Bul, who fumbles his overwatch, but stands ready, as a true astartes with his counter attack, he is fearless... but the daemon prince is too much, swatting him into a nearby wall and crushing his ribcage.

Rignus makes a call, for all the space wolves who can, to get into cover and fire at will, he marches to attempt to hold off the daemon prince. Baegar moves to the flesh hound with support from Thir. Kordar and Rov are still locked in combat with a seemingly invulnerable plaguebearer. Geim finishes off the cultists and begins to run for cover. Rignus causes a wound to the Daemon Prince with his plasma pistol, Dunaak fires with his bolt pistol, also causing a wound. Baergbar and Thir assault the flesh hound. It swings at each of them once, landing a blow on Baergbar, but failing to get through his ceramite armor. In return, Baergbar lands a fearsome blow to the flesh hound, returning it to the warp. Rignus charges the daemon prince, more than succeeding, if he can survive the overwhelming power of the daemon prince, he may be able to slay it. With skill like no other, Rignus deflects 3 of the massive blows. His wolf amulet burning with the rage of Leman Russ himself, the wolf priest is saved from doom, only receiving one wound, he survives to strike back! Hitting with 3 of 4 attacks, and wounding with all 3 the daemon prince is barely banished back to the warp!!! All that remains is a single plaguebearer, but the gods are furious at the loss of their champion, 4 plaguebearers enter the material world, scattered throughout the battle field. Some rise from the ground, while others seem to walk in from thin air, as if a curtain had been in front of them. Kordar and Rov STILL cannot destroy the plaguebearer, nor can it destroy them. Rignus is furious with them and decides to show them how it is done while the other blood claws begun to fire at the newly arrived plaguebearers. Dunaak blasts one away with his bolt pistol, Geim lands a shot, but it passes through the daemons body. Rignus destroys the stubborn plaguebearer, shouting as his foolish bloodclaws as he does. All the remaining daemons are locked in combat with blood claws, the taint may finally be purged. Geim fells a plaguebearer. Thogus kills another, and Dunaak kills the last one. The battle has finally ended.

So a brief confession. Last week I had actually done the second trials against necrons. I had a bad day, trials were pretty bland, I just remember Kordar being useless as hell. When I recorded this trail, I overwrote the past one without saving. Lucky for several of the blood claws huh? I decided to reflect a bit on the progress of this batch thus far.

Kordar: 1)Did well 2) Stuck in combat the whole time. Will have to prove his worth in 3^rd trial.

Rov: 1) Fails horribly and immediately. 2) Locked in CC the whole time. Will have to be AMAZING in 3^rd trial.

Geim: 1) died early on, failed. 2) Did well. Will have to prove himself in the 3^rd trial.

Gehgin: 1) Deid very early on 2) died very early on. Will have to do amazingly well to stay a blood claw.

Yeraim: 1) Recklessly charged in and died 2) Died to cultist, which lead to daemon prince, shit... probably wont make it.

Thogus: 1) Did great, possible MotW. 2) Doesn't make it into CC, does OK. Looking good, still has to do well in round 3 to make GH.

Bul: 1) Does OK, but falls thanks to recklessness. 2) Does well, unfortunately is in the path of the DP. Will have to do well.

Baergbar: 1) Does well with the powerfist. 2) Does well with the powerfist. Looks good for Baergbar, but the powerfist may be too much, he might do better with a less heavy weapon.

Thir: 1) Dies early to daemonettes. 2) Survives, but doesnt do anything fancy. Will have to do very well.

Dunaak: 1) Does good, reaps a decent tally and survives. 2) does well, wounds the DP and kills plenty. On track for GH.

Rignus: As usual, Rignus has shown to be a great choice for wolf priest. This battle he did something worthy of the sagas and felled a daemon prince in hand to hand combat. For this he will be greatly rewarded, and the Fang will forever remember the name Rignus.
