The Latest Fluff Update wrote:The first prong of the Khainite attack fell on Ghrond, as Temple forces sortied out of their strongholds to meet the Cultists garrisoned on the plains. The Khainites struck swiftly, isolating smaller bands and slaughtering them before the main forces could respond. As the lethargy of the Cult began to melt, the Temple forces retreated, victorious, to the safety of their bastions. Enraged by the audacity of this attack, the Cult recalled forces from across Naggaroth to reinforce their positions. As yet, the Cult still holds control over Ghrond, but by the most tenuous margin imaginable.
We ARE in control of Ghrond - but only just - I say we should attack it now, as hard as we can - Either we hold it, or we burn it !

Since the Lady Morathi has chosen to take a back seat during this glorious campaign, it has fallen upon the Noble Sorceress Lonicera, Dark Princess, Chosen of Slaanesh, and Daughter of the Fifth House of Avelorn, who has guided our cause since the far-off days of the Sundering, when we showed the Hated Kin how superior our mastery of the dark forces had become. Now, listen to her words this day, and listen well, for her words will lead us to the greatest victory that we have ever known !

They have fought us and yet we remain in control of the very heartland of their blasphemies. Even here, they have not defeated us. Even in this place, where Khaine himself has failed to stop us. Even here, where the best of their elite forces has consistently failed to overwhelm us Druchii, whom they consider to be weak and innefectual...
But today, history favours change. And change it will get !
TODAY we show the infidels the true nature of what it is to be Druchii !
Today, we open a new chapter in the history of our people....
THE TIME OF KHAINE IS OVER - THE REIGN OF SLAANESH HAS BEGUN !
No go. Go to the future. Go into legend, and go to your destiny !
And if you find yourself drifting upon the sea of ecstacy with sweet perfume soothing your senses, then do not fear - for you are in the arms of Slaanesh - And you're already dead !
KHYRKHAN BELALAKH !
So there you have it - the greatest chance we will EVER get to hurt the Khainists in their own city - now let's get in there and kick their blood-soaked asses and show them that we're not the weak bunch of fluffy-pink upstarts that they think we are...
OK, Those of us still attacking Ghrond should hit really hard. WE have more coming to reinforce us, but we must not allow ourselves to be pushed back - at least not before the reinforcements arrive. With a coordinated attack against the forces of the Temple, we CAN hold on to Ghrond - at least long enough to make a difference.
Either we keep it or we burn it - I say we keep it, and save the burning for later should we need to retreat...
