Wade and Phil’s clash ends in a draw despite several dangerous character and magic combinations. Charnal Gorehand’s Bloodskull Pendant threatens models in contact without relying on a conventional challenge, while Proteus Klaw adds potent Tzeentchian sorcery to Phil’s army. Chosen flee and recover, and Nurgle’s Grumbleguts repeatedly disappoints, making the report a useful example of how impressive gifts can still produce an indecisive campaign result.

Phil explains the imposing appearance and battlefield role of his large Chosen regiment, combining lavish armour, halberds and components taken from the Knights kit. Wade takes a different lesson from his games, questioning how many champions his force needs when opponents can avoid feeding them challenges and rewards. Together their accounts connect army construction, conversions and the campaign’s incentive to develop memorable individual warriors.
