Battle Report: The War Eternal

THE SHORT VERSION

Six players fight an anniversary battle across linked Aqshian and Ghyranite battlefields. Two 2,000-point Stormcast armies defend opposite ends of a realmgate against four 1,500-point forces drawn from the game’s successive starter sets. Places of power confer protective wards, while portals and Skaven Gnawholes let events on one table influence the other.

Korghos Khul defeats Vandus Hammerhand and crosses into Ghyran as the Aqshian defence collapses. Yndrasta eventually banishes the daemon prince after a tense duel, but surviving enemy troops still secure the decisive realmgate. Deployment maps, army lists and the players’ reflections show how an intentionally uneven narrative game can produce memorable reversals and a close final objective fight.
