Post by Rork »

This thread is for everyone to post the campaign background for their general and army during the campaign (and which side you're fighting for!) and what your army wants with the crown (or not as the case may be...).

Well as i have 3 armies an i don't know which i will use How bout a little about all three.

Slerac Fellblade

This is my highborn he is a collector of things weird rare and not so rare. He comes from Karond Kar. Basically he has an OCD tha makes him take something from every battle field. Sometimes it is as mundane as an enemies sword , shield or head. Other times it is some magic item or something weird that catches his eye. His home is a museum to the slaughter and aids undertaken by the druchii people with small trinkets and items from thousands of battle fields.

General Albrecht Rommel

My empire General General of the Western Guard of the Reik. He is hunting down the vampie that used to be his wife because it killed his 2 sons. Simple hate filled vengeance.

Wood Elves

Highborn Tecumsheh i have no real fluff for him.
Ian: We are trying to help as many starving children as possible

My leader's fluff.

Post by Lord sacra »

My leader, Lord Sacra, has travelled to the forest quite by accident. He was following a high elf ship that recently defeated and killed one of his captains and he seeks revenge. After he learnt of the Nemesis Crown he has decided that he cares not for such a trinket, but only to inflict maximum pain on every enemy he finds, starting with the High Elves. If he really has to help then he will aid Malekith's attempts. He will also kill High Elves, hopefully.

That he vows.

Army leader: Crazen Darkwater, scion of Naggarond, and Murder Cleric of Khaine.

Liutenents: Beastmasters Elthrikhala and Sinrula, Pegasus Rider Tethlir, First Mate Darksoul, and Battle Engineer Haavrakh the Dawi Zahrr.

Demeaner: Unlike Fingol, who likes to smirk, Crazen likes to scowl. He has a very dark sort of arrogance that is complimented by a sense of sour realism. He is fully aware of his capabilities and won't push his luck. However, he will always find a way to get what he wants, even if he must rely on the talents of others.

Appearance: Crazen has black hair, emerald eyes, and a thin handsome face. His fingers are unsually long and thin. He wears light armor, relics of the Temple of Khaine decorate his neck and his fingers, and he wears a special cloak that looks as if it was spun from spider webs.

Weapons: Crazen wields a longsword in combat and will use a shortsword as well if he feels that he needs to use two weapons. He makes extensive use of poisons and special brews, both to hinder his opponent and to drug himself into a frenzy. Crazen also uses a repeater crossbow.

Transportation: Crazen rides his trusty dark steed on the battle field, though he is an expert ranger and can trek almost ay terrain himself. He is also captain of a medium sized vessel.

Background: Crazen is the grandson of Fingol Darkwater. Crazen spent his early years in Naggarond, brought up as any true Druchii should be. Instead of joining the navy like most of his family, Fingol insisted that he spend more time training in the Temple. After decades of deadly instruction, Crazen joined the Dark Riders as a Herald of the Witch King. Soon enough, Crazen found himself as an officer in the Witch King's invasion force. However, family rivalry soon robbed Crazen of that glorious opportunity.

Fingol had a reputation as a diplomat, who at times, didn't even seem to make use of the well known Druchii cruelty. Those who truly knew the elf were fully aware of the snares he would use to bind both his allies and his enemies, thus Crazen has much to live up to.

Purpose: My army will of course try to further Druchii interests in the campaign, but the main motive behind my participation will be to root out Cultists. House Darkwater has a reputation as staunch supporters of the Temple, they've only once missed an opportunity to rid Naggaroth of Cultists (I missed the Flesh & Blood campaign :P ), and now they've taken it upon themselves to rid the Druchii ranks of these hedonists.

Army Comp: Corsairs, monsters, cavalry, and magic.

mine is Tzachi of the Sulpheret Islands

A 4th generation Slann mage who over the centuries has become more and more inadvertantly tainted by chaos. he seeks to send forth all of his forces to gain the nemesis crown so he cantake it back to his temple, wherin he has stored several other magical items. These range from magical artifacts stolen from nehekaran tombs to chaotic ammulets. he has gathered the assorted items with the intent of destroying chaos and returning the old ones. however over the centuries he has become increasing mad and tainted by the arrayof different arifacts. he hopes that the nemesis crown will adorn his own head when he leads his lizardmen against the hordes of chaos and the daemons of the wastes.

Kaleth Sarradain

He is travelling not to claim the Nemesis crown, but to establish colony on the land of the Empire, which worship the God Slaanesh. He will also be secretly helping the rebel band which attempt to retake Tor Thana.

Lord Katan- The (future)Prince of Arnheim

Leader of a 3000 raiding force supported by one of Khaine's most precious gifts-a Cauldron of Blood

Katan is also accompanied by his brother who rides a Black Dragon.

The 2 brothers are very competitive and go to great lengths to outdo each other how terribly they punish their opponents on the battlefield.

A small and elite force capable of quickly surrounding a hording enemy.

Precision strikes and ambusher harassment lead the way for the nobility and their thirsty brides.

Army Leader: High Priest Gorgoneth of the Cult of Chroesh

Background/purpose: Has been despatched by Malekith ostensibly to retrieve the crown. In fact Malekith hopes Gorgoneth and his cultists will be slaughtered on the battlefield, while the High Priest wants to keep the crown for himself to reassert his cult's power. For a more detailed account you can check out my stories here.

Army composition: Khainite dragon list. Gorgoneth and his dragon Ahbrek are supported by ranks of devoted spearmen, dark riders, shades and zealots (witch elves). His army always includes a retinue of elite temple guard (Black Guard).

Rackeith, The Exiled

"Come my brothers Ulthan is decadant, Naggaroth weak, Finubar a pretender and Malkeith an obsesive. Let us create a new state worthy of the sons of Anerion. The ancient city of Tor Thana lies within our grasp if we but reach out and claim it. Join me my brothers and let us establish a new empire in the heart of the Old World from which to terrorise the lands of men. Those who join me will be rewarded."

Renagade lord and Worshipor of Tzeentch Drainial Shadowheart is well over 4000 years old, he stood with Malikith in the Sundering and hero worshiped the heir of Anearion, however all of his admiration was lost when the soon to be whitch king was defeated and driven away, Drainial followed Malikith to Naggaroth in a small fleet of his personal ships but he did not stay long waiting only for his new Black ark Har Atha or the Citidel of Shadow was constructed before taking his followers to the seas once more. It was not long after this that Drainial traveld to the Chaos wastes drawn by a strange feeling, an ich that would not ceace. This ich lead him to a cavern deap beneath the wastes and to a cave filled with ever changing color, at its center stood a cyrstal alter filled with an ever changing nimbus of light. It was here that Drainial sold his soul to the great god Tzeentch and was granted great longevity as well as many other gifts. He also took a suit of armour that he found in the cave.

Now millenia later Drainial is woried by the increased number of Druchii raiders heading for the old world, he thinks that it is far too risky to stand alone and hope that no force of suffincent size notises him. Then he heard of a gathering of Druchii lords brought together by one Rackieth the exield with the purpose of seting up a new city state at Tor Thana, this was perfect for Drainial allowing him to have far more elves around him to fight if the minions of Malikith finaly cought up with him and also offering the chance of great power, with this in mind he has traveld to Tor Thana, the assult has begun and the victor will be juged by the ringing of steel the geinious of plans and the flames of magic.

Moding a group of Druchii.net players is much like directing the musical 'Cats' using actual cats. Frustrating, difficult, chaotic but ultimatley satisfying and a great deal of fun.

Army Leader: Illiiya Jaelrae "The Bloody Angel"


Having recently taken control of her father's raiders, Illiiya does not have the resources to truly make a bid for the relic itself.... No matter how powerful. Instead, she is taking advantage of the distraction to make several bold, overland raids deeper into foreign territory than she ever has before. While many of the defenders are away, she is hoping to score enough treasure, slaves and possibly even enchanted items, to make herself a wealthy woman, and to prove that she truly is her father's heir.

Army Leader: Azenaith Viricarsi, Commander in the Crimson Legion

Commander Viricarsi is in the Old World following the Witch King's orders. The first priority is the acquisition of slaves and other resources for his Dread Majesty, but she also intends to build a reputation for herself in the process.

Edited to bring it more in line with my HotW fluff. More coming soon when I get around to writing it.

King Rameses: Knows nothing about the crown (as seen in official GW fluff) but likes Settra's idea of attacking Bretonnia and Empire to retrieve stolen artifacts.

The DArkspear Clan: The family knows about the crown and feels that it is best for Druchii if the crown is given to Morathi or Malekith. If this is impossible at least make sure the dwarves has it since the dearves are going to hid the damn thing for good anyway. The clan will be attacking empire and greenskin patrols to obstruct their efforts. I hate this but my factions seems to be having the same agenda as High Elves!!!

Army : dark elves (vanilla army book)

General : Calana BlackHeart, high sorceress of Ghrond.

Background : Calana is a loreseeker of magic. After the retrieval of a cauldron by her troops in orcish hostile territory, she has earned the respect and trust of the ruler of Karond Kar, and gained the help of a beastmaster. She know uses his help to extend her knowledge of magic, especially in the afterlife departement. Knowing that several vampires have moved in the empire, she is going to chase them to learn more about necromancy. She is interested also in the crown, as it may well be a vampire artefact.

Army composition : The army will most likely include Calana herself on a pegasus, maybe a manticore, along with a hydra, a level 2 sorceress (her apprentice), and probably some cold one knights.

dark elf army

Dantrag: highborn rules over the black ark "Eternal Nightmares".
He rides in an ornate chariot (he finds little difference between fighting on a swaying chariot or a rocking ship). The only interest he has in the nemisis crown is that it is distracting tha asur enough to let him gain a foothold on ulthuan. He has personally selected each soldier for this mission and has taken only the most hate filled, bitter and twisted elvesl in all of Naggaroth. He has petitioned Malekith to be allowed a unit of elite black guard for his campaign but is still awaiting word from the witch kings envoys. ( ie how quickly can i paint them).
Plan: to do as much devestaition and destruction as possible while capturing prisoners for the alter's of khaine. Should the asur be caught very badly offguard he is to establish a beachead and send word to Malekith, thus hopefully starting the invasion for the retrieval of our rightfull homeland.

Army composition: all characters must have a SDC. must have a minimum of 2 units of corsairs & DR's. no large monsters ( if it's not a seadragon Dantrag doesn't want it)

Lilith Chi Kai, Lord Commander of the armed forces of the Chi Kai Household.

After Settra's re-awakening at the time of Archaon's invasion of the Old World, Marlus has found his fortress city, Cheth’raughast (located on the eastern shore of the Black Gulf), in a state of near desolation after eventual victory. His household was almost completely annihilated, only his daughter, Lilith, and his personnal sorcerer, Mar'lear, left alive. Only a fraction of his land forces remain, though what remains of his fleet after fleeing Naggaroth is largely intact.

With the death of his wife, Arrissa, and daughter Kethinar, and the dissapearance of his only son Hellkiss, Marlus has no choice but to declare Lilith his heir and Lord Commander of his household's army. Conditions required that Marlus cease his raiding activities in favour of re-establishing his foothold at the base of the Dragonback Mountains.

When word from his numerous spies around the Old World reported rumours of a powerful relic being discovered, Marlus consulted Mar'lear and learned the truth of the Nemesis Crown. Knowing it's tale, and the unimaginable power it would grant Malekith if he should get his hands on it, Marlus dispatched Lilith and Mar'lear with a respectable force to secure the prize before the Witch King could get his hands on it.

Army Composition: Considering most of my Druchii minitures were lost recently when I shifted house, I'm going to have to start fresh. I've decided that due to the climate in the Badlands, and the Black Gulf, my corsairs will be attired to accomodate the heat, so I'll be converting Dark Eldar Wyches to be my new corsairs. I'm not a fan of spears (they're just not my type of weapon, much prefer a good blade), so all my new warriors will be modelled with hand weapon/shield, and i'll use that combo instead of the spears.
I've decided to add Mengil's Manflayers, and maybe get another 2 boxes and convert them to be my executioners. I'm yet to decide how to configure Lilith herself, as previously she'd just been a fluff character, and I never made a model for her.
To reflect the fact she was a member of the Temple of Khaine before her family fled Naggaroth, I'm thinking of fielding her on foot with little armour, the Hearstone of Darkness and the Draich of Dark Power, accompanied by the warrior's of a human tribe dedicated to Khorne that has sworn to serve Marlus in return for a tract of land to rule as their own in his domain. These will be represented by Dogs of War Norse Marauders, which I luckily didn't lose in the move, that are armed with either 2 hand weapons or great weapons (i've got enough models assembled either way to make a unit of 15 no matter what i choose).

I should probably mention at this point that in Marlus' fluff, he swore himself over to Khorne when he was still a youth and lost in the Wastes, In the time since he settled in the Badlands, Marlus has managed to turn all under his rule to the worship of Khorne, displaying great martial pride and honour, as oppossed to the typical bloodthirsty nature of most of Khorne's followers.
Mar'lear is the sole exception, and having been a long time friend and enemy of the Witch King, Marlus allows Mar'lear to still practice his sorcerous way. The main reason behind this is that it adds another item to his long list of insults directed at the Druchii ruler.

Cold One Knights will be a new addition to my collection, I previously only used Dark Riders (but they're gone now too), but I'll be getting some more soonish. 2 Bolt Throwers are pretty much standard in my force these days.
Mar'lear will have the Darkstar Cloak and a Dispel Scroll or the Seal of Ghrond, giving him the ability to act both offensively and defensively in the magic phase. Over the course of the campaign, I may introduce a new character, possibly Ker'neath the Battle Standard Bearer, or maybe Hellkiss will re-appear.
