WEEK 6 – Reports from the Battlefront
78 clashes reached the campaign desk this week, and with them came a sharp reshuffling of the war.
Week 6 belonged, in spirit, to the High Elves, whose clean run gave them the best weekly return. In the wider campaign, however, the loudest headline is verminous: Skaven clawed past the Dark Elves and took the global crown. Behind them, the Hordes of Chaos made the week’s most dramatic charge, thundering up from the middle ranks into the top three.
Best performers this week:
- High Elves: 2.60 PPG over 5 games; W6 rank #1 ↑ (from #2).
- Hordes of Chaos: 2.56 PPG over 9 games; W6 rank #2 ↑ (from #9).
- Skaven: 2.14 PPG over 7 games; W6 rank #3 ↑ (from #6).
- Lizardmen: 2.00 PPG over 7 games; W6 rank #4 ↑ (from #5).
- Chaos Dwarfs: 2.00 PPG over 7 games; W6 rank #5 ↑ (from #15).
- Dwarfs: 1.92 PPG over 12 games; W6 rank #6 ↑ (from #7).
- Kislev: 1.83 PPG over 6 games; W6 rank #7 ↑ (from #12).
- Bretonnia: 1.80 PPG over 15 games; W6 rank #8 ↑ (from #17).
- Tomb Kings: 1.78 PPG over 9 games; W6 rank #9 ↓ (from #4).
- Daemons: 1.70 PPG over 10 games; W6 rank #10 ↔ (stable).

- Vampire Counts: 1.50 PPG over 6 games; W6 rank #12 ↓ (from #1).
- Dark Elves: 1.50 PPG over 6 games; W6 rank #13 ↓ (from #11).
- Dogs of War: 1.14 PPG over 7 games; W6 rank #14 ↓ (from #8).

- The Empire: 0.62 PPG over 13 games; W6 rank #16 ↔ (stable).
- Ogre Kingdoms: 0.57 PPG over 7 games; W6 rank #17 ↑ (from #18).
- Orcs & Goblins: 0.19 PPG over 16 games; W6 rank #18 ↓ (from #13).
- High Elf Sea Patrol vs Quatar’s Army: WhiteTower_HP’s High Elves fielding High Elf Sea Patrol broke Nehekhara_Pete’s Tomb Kings fielding Quatar's Army (WebGW) in a 3,000-point Last Stand. With SCs on both sides, this was the week’s grand set-piece clash.
- Archaon’s Horde at the centre: Everchosen_ZH’s Hordes of Chaos fielding Archaon's Horde defeated Strigoi_Marco’s Vampire Counts three times in 500-point Capture the Centre fighting, including one Massacre. That brutal run explains much of Chaos’ leap up the standings.
- Bretonnia’s thunderous breakthrough: Grail_Seeker led a 3,000-point Bretonnian host through Grimgor_Nick’s Orcs & Goblins in Breakthrough, scoring a Massacre and helping Bretonnia climb out of the lower reaches.
- The alliance-marked satellite clash: In a 750-point The Old World Meeting Engagement, an Ogre warband fought beside Orcs & Goblins allies against a Dwarf throng supported by Bretonnia. The Dawi side secured a Solid Victory, making it the clearest alliance entry of the week.
Here is the master ledger of this week’s tabletop advances.

The brayherds had a savage but miserable week. There were flashes of spite in the Reports of battles across the world, yet the local herdstones tell a darker tale: Daemons, Dogs of War and Kislev all carved bloody notches into the Beastmen record.

- W6 return: 7 games.
- Record: 12/5/10 (+3/+2/+2).
Hashut’s followers made Week 6 burn. The Dawi-Zharr were uneven, but when their furnaces roared they did so with terrifying force, recording several local massacres even as a mercenary disaster and Bretonnian resistance stopped the rise from becoming greater still.

- W6 performance: #13 ↓ (from #10).
- W6 return: 6 games.
- Record: 18/8/5 (+2/+3/+1).
The Druchii have surrendered the crown, though hardly their menace. Their week was a study in sharp blades and sharper setbacks: the Cult of Slaanesh cut down the Empire locally, while the wider war brought a grand victory, two draws and an old wound reopened by the Asur.
Battles in Karak Norn Wargaming this week
• [6th Edition – Local] In the smoke and confusion of The Patrol, Druchii_Steff’s Dark Elves fielding Cult of Slaanesh (SoC) met Heldenhammer_ZH’s Empire in a 750-point warband; their army won the field with a Solid Victory.

• [6th Edition – Satellite] On ground marked for Capture, a Druchii raiding force of Dark Elves crossed blades with a greenskin horde of Orcs & Goblins in a 3,000-point grand host.

• [6th Edition – Satellite] Under the demands of The Patrol, a Druchii raiding force of Dark Elves met a daemonic host of Daemons in a 750-point warband.

Daemons
- Global standing: #4 ↔ (stable).
- W6 performance: #10 ↑ (from #11).
- W6 return: 10 games.
- Record: 23/6/11 (+5/+1/+4).
The daemonic hosts remained terrifying, but Week 6 proved that even the things of the warp can be checked. They tore through the Beastmen locally and humbled the Empire from afar, yet hard losses against Lizardmen, High Elves and Skaven kept them from matching the week’s true frontrunners.

• [6th Edition – Local] On ground marked for Pitched Battle, Be_lakor_CH’s Daemons fielding Daemonic Legion (SoC, p.27-32) advanced against Bray_Shaman_Dave’s Beastmen in a 2,000-point army.

• [6th Edition – Satellite] Across a field fought as The Patrol, a daemonic host of Daemons met a Druchii raiding force of Dark Elves in a 750-point warband. The host was pure Tzeentch, a flickering tide of horrors and change-fire. The armies fought to a grim Draw.
• [6th Edition – Satellite] On ground marked for Pitched Battle, a daemonic host of Daemons engaged a temple-city cohort of Lizardmen in a 2,000-point army.

• [6th Edition – Satellite] With the battle plan set as Capture, a daemonic host of Daemons clashed with a glittering Asur host of High Elves in a 2,000-point army.

• [6th Edition – Satellite] Under the demands of Meeting Engagement, a daemonic host of Daemons advanced against a verminous host of Skaven in a 2,000-point army.

• [6th Edition – Satellite] On ground marked for Pitched Battle, a daemonic host of Daemons met a temple-city cohort of Lizardmen in a 2,000-point army.

• [6th Edition – Satellite] On ground marked for Flank Attack, a daemonic host of Daemons crossed blades with an Imperial army of Empire in a 2,000-point army. A second Tzeentchian assault crashed into the Empire, its shifting daemons turning the flank into a nightmare of fire and false futures. Their army won the field with a Solid Victory.
The daemonic tally is still fearsome, but Week 6 showed cracks in the veil. Mortal and cold-blooded foes alike have learned that the warp-spawned can be beaten.

The mercenaries tasted both gold and ruin. Tilean steel earned two glorious local massacres, but the paychest was lightened by defeats to Chaos, Dwarfs and the Empire, leaving the Dogs of War with little room for boastful songs.

A mercenary captain can dine out on two massacres, but the campaign table is less forgiving. The Dogs of War need paying victories, not heroic anecdotes.

The cold-blooded cohorts fought with the patient brutality of the Old Ones’ design. A local Ambush ended unresolved, but the satellite temple-hosts struck down Daemons, Skaven and greenskins often enough to keep Lustria’s campaign line steady and dangerous.

The Ogres found plenty of fighting and precious little feasting. A single great victory over Bretonnia could not hide the fact that the gutlords were beaten back again and again across the satellite theatres.

The greenskins have numbers, noise and enthusiasm. What they urgently need is a week in which those things translate into wins.
Vampire Counts

- W6 return: 6 games.
- Record: 17/2/9 (+3/+0/+3).
The dead stumbled after their perfect Week 5. Their satellite legions still marched with dreadful certainty, but locally Strigoi_Marco was mauled three times by Archaon’s Horde, and the cost of those defeats was plain on the global board.
Battles in Karak Norn Wargaming this week
• [6th Edition – Local] In the smoke and confusion of Capture the Centre, Strigoi_Marco’s Vampire Counts clashed with Everchosen_ZH’s Hordes of Chaos fielding Archaon's Horde in three separated 500-point Border Patrol clashes:

- In the third, Strigoi_Marco’s Vampire Counts finally gave ground after a Minor Defeat.

• [6th Edition – Satellite] Under the demands of Pitched Battle, a midnight host of Vampire Counts fell upon a greenskin horde of Orcs & Goblins in a 2,000-point army. The dead marched under the pallid wisdom of the Necrarchs, its advance driven by corpse-cold sorcery rather than mere weight of numbers. Their army won the field with a Solid Victory.
• [6th Edition – Satellite] On ground marked for Capture, a midnight host of Vampire Counts clashed with a brayherd of Beastmen in a 2,000-point army. A Necrarch master’s will hung over the field, raising the fallen and smothering the brayherd beneath layers of necromancy. Their army forced the enemy back and claimed a Solid Victory.
• [6th Edition – Satellite] With the battle plan set as Meeting Engagement, a midnight host of Vampire Counts engaged an Imperial army of Empire in a 2,000-point army. The midnight host bore the mark of the Necrarchs, a patient, scholarly horror of undeath gathering around the Imperial line. Their army carried the day with a Solid Victory.
The fall is sharp because the previous week was so perfect. The Vampire Counts are still dangerous, but the aura of inevitability has been broken.
II.II Defenders of the Relics

Bretonnia surged from the lower ranks with lances levelled. It was not a flawless week, but the sheer number of victories – including a thunderous 3,000-point breakthrough – gave the heralds of the Lady their loudest campaign cry yet.

- W6 return: 12 games.
- Record: 26/3/14 (+8/+0/+4).
The Dawi added many grudges, and settled several besides. Their satellite throngs were industrious and bloody-minded, but the local ledger opened with two bitter reverses against Skaven, keeping the holds from turning a busy week into a truly triumphant one.

The Empire
- Global standing: #16 ↔ (stable).
- W6 performance: #16 ↔ (stable).
- W6 return: 13 games.
- Record: 13/6/33 (+2/+1/+10).
The Empire bled from too many fronts. A local massacre over Bretonnia gave the state troops something to cheer, but the wider map was grim: Chaos, Kislev, Daemons, Tomb Kings, Vampire Counts and the Dawi-Zharr all took their toll.
Battles in Karak Norn Wargaming this week

The Empire’s position is becoming precarious. There is courage in the ranks, but courage alone has not stopped the losses piling up.

Ulthuan answered the week with banners unfurled and spearpoints glittering. The Asur posted the best performance of Week 6, crowned by a 3,000-point Last Stand against the kings of Nehekhara and backed by satellite victories over Daemons, Dark Elves and greenskins.

- Global standing: #15 ↑ (from #18).
- W6 performance: #7 ↑ (from #12).
- W6 return: 6 games.
- Record: 6/3/18 (+3/+0/+3).
Kislev’s week was small but fierce. The Tzar’s warriors crushed Beastmen and Bretonnians in local actions and even claimed a satellite success, though defeats to Wood Elves, Dwarfs and Bretonnia kept the ice from spreading further up the table.

Skaven

- W6 performance: #3 ↑ (from #6).
- W6 return: 7 games.
- Record: 19/4/5 (+5/+1/+1).
The ratmen finally gnawed their way to the very top of the campaign ladder. Week 6 was not a clean sweep, but it was exactly the sort of treacherous, profitable advance the Under-Empire delights in: a pair of local victories over the Dawi and more warpstone-stained success in the satellite theatres.

- Record: 22/9/12 (+5/+2/+2).
The kings of Nehekhara endured a week of mixed omens. Their grand local host was checked by High Elf sea-lords, yet the satellite legions continued to grind out victories, proving once again that the dead do not need momentum to keep marching.

The Asrai fought like shadows between the trees: sometimes brilliant, sometimes elusive, never easy to pin down. Local night fighting against Tomb Kings yielded a victory and a draw, while the wider war saw both a notable triumph and a sting from Chaos.
