This is a blog dedicated to the Old World of Warhammer Fantasy Battle 6th Edition. I have played every edition of WHFB from the first to the Age o'Siggy-baby when I stopped. I think 6th edition is the ultimate expression of the game and I still play it. I have a pile of figures left over from the Glory Days of Games-Workshop & this blog is a reflection of games with friends and a narrative campaign of a chaos incursion of the province of Nordland. The forces of Chaos are mostly Nurgle, but there are some Chaos Undivided battles in here as well. The idea is that in the retreat from Middenheim after Archaon, the so-called "Everchosen," the various chaos forces were harried by the Forces of Light and in their haste to retire back across the Sea of Claws to the safety of Norsica and the Chaos Wastes, they left artifacts hidden in various Imperial provinces that were sacred to their respective deity. There were three parts of Nurgle's Crown that were scattered about in Nordland and the Lord of Corruption ordered one of his most favored sons - Lord Mundfilth - to recover these sacred artifacts.
This blog also contains my version of what happened to Archaon based on my reading of the fluff. In my opinion the Four Dark Powers would certainly not have put up with the fact that their momentary unity and singleness of purpose had been destroyed by the Forces of Light. It is clear that Archaon had failed them utterly and I just do not see them saying to him: "Oh, it's all right Archaon! Don't worry about it. Let's wait a century or two and we'll have another go." Nope. Sorry, GW, I just don't buy it..
So in my opinion, Archaon was captured and then BAD things happened to him. He then disappears from the record to wallow in some horrible end devised by the Four Dark Powers. I also argue that the unity of the Four Powers did not long survive Archaon's defeat and they took to squabbling among themselves as they had for eons before.
Of course, this blog is only MY opinion. If you enjoy it, great! If not, sorry, it is just my opinion. :-)
I know that on the actual battle field the forces of light had won.
