War Room: A Dark Conspiracy – Week 10 Field Report

-

WEEK 10 – Reports from the Battlefront

Ninety-three clashes reached the campaign desk this week, and the shape of the war changed sharply around them. Dark Elves still hold the crown, but the roar beneath the throne is no longer verminous: the Hordes of Chaos have smashed upward from the middle ranks into second place.

Week 10 was a week of brutal contrasts. Chaos took the weekly honours with a near-perfect return; the Dogs of War turned contracts into a spectacular climb; and the Tomb Kings filled the archive with the patient arithmetic of the dead. At the other end of the ledger, Bretonnia and the Chaos Dwarfs suffered the sort of weeks that leave banners torn, captains questioned and grudges written in very large script.

Best performers this week:

  • Hordes of Chaos: 2.55 PPG over 11 games; W10 rank #1 ↑ (from #6).
  • Dogs of War: 1.89 PPG over 9 games; W10 rank #2 ↔ (stable).
  • Dark Elves: 1.83 PPG over 12 games; W10 rank #3 ↑ (from #8).
  • Skaven: 1.82 PPG over 11 games; W10 rank #4 ↑ (from #12).
  • Dwarfs: 1.78 PPG over 9 games; W10 rank #5 ↑ (from #14).
  • Daemons: 1.70 PPG over 10 games; W10 rank #6 ↓ (from #5).
  • High Elves: 1.62 PPG over 8 games; W10 rank #7 ↓ (from #1).
  • Tomb Kings: 1.50 PPG over 18 games; W10 rank #8 ↓ (from #4).
  • The Empire: 1.42 PPG over 12 games; W10 rank #9 ↑ (from #16).
  • Kislev: 1.30 PPG over 10 games; W10 rank #10 ↔ (stable).
  • Ogre Kingdoms: 1.30 PPG over 10 games; W10 rank #11 ↑ (from #15).
  • Vampire Counts: 1.25 PPG over 8 games; W10 rank #12 ↓ (from #3).
  • Lizardmen: 1.14 PPG over 7 games; W10 rank #13 ↓ (from #7).
  • Beastmen: 1.10 PPG over 10 games; W10 rank #14 ↑ (from #17).
  • Wood Elves: 1.00 PPG over 6 games; W10 rank #15 ↓ (from #9).
  • Orcs & Goblins: 0.83 PPG over 12 games; W10 rank #16 ↑ (from #18).
  • Chaos Dwarfs: 0.42 PPG over 12 games; W10 rank #17 ↓ (from #11).
  • Bretonnia: 0.23 PPG over 13 games; W10 rank #18 ↓ (from #13).

On the global board, Dark Elves remain #1, but the upper pack has been violently rearranged beneath them. Hordes of Chaos surge into #2, Skaven slip to #3, and Daemons and High Elves hold the next two places. Tomb Kings remain stubbornly lodged in the upper half, while the lower table shifts under pressure: Dogs of War climb, Beastmen escape the foot of the table, and Orcs & Goblins fall back into last despite flashes of green violence.

Battles of note:

  • The northern eruption: Hordes of Chaos posted the week’s best return, going unbeaten across eleven appearances and turning a run of wins over Daemons, Bretonnia, Dogs of War and Orcs & Goblins into a leap from #8 to #2.
  • The paymasters collect again: Dogs of War absorbed a Dark Elf massacre locally, then paid it back with victories over Chaos Dwarfs, Kislev and Bretonnia, including several brutal massacres that carried them up the global board.
  • Be’lakor’s feast: Be_lakor_CH led Daemons into two The Old World Pitched Battles against Tyrant_Urs and the Ogre Kingdoms, claiming a Massacre and a Solid Victory before the Ogres found better meat elsewhere.
  • Bretonnia’s broken lances: the realm suffered the week’s worst performance, losing twelve of thirteen appearances and falling from #13 to #15 while High Elves, Dogs of War, Vampire Counts and Chaos all took their toll.
  • The dead write in volume: Tomb Kings recorded eighteen faction appearances, with eight draws and seven victories, proving that even when Nehekhara does not dominate the week it can still bury the ledger in sand and bone.

Here is the master ledger of this week’s tabletop advances.

The brayherds finally crawled off the very bottom, though no one at the herdstone will mistake this for glory. The week contained wins, draws and one familiar local catastrophe, all wrapped in mud and spite.

Hashut’s sons endured a week of ash and broken iron. One satellite victory cannot hide what happened locally: Dogs of War, Empire and Kislev all found ways to humble the furnaces.

The Dark Elves keep the crown, and they do so with exactly the sort of cruelty Naggaroth respects: one local massacre, a high stack of draws, and enough satellite victories to make pursuit expensive. The throne did not wobble this week; it merely acquired more bloodstains.

• [6th Edition – Local] With the battle plan set as Pitched Battle, Druchii_Steff’s Dark Elves advanced against Tilean_Paymaster’s Dogs of War in a 2,000-point army.

The daemonic hosts remain among the true terrors of the campaign, but Week 10 was not theirs alone. They devoured Ogres locally and burned through Empire and greenskins abroad, yet Chaos checked the tide twice over.

The paymasters had one of the week’s sharpest turns. A local disaster against Dark Elves was paid back in mercenary fashion, with Chaos Dwarfs, Kislev and Bretonnia all feeding the contracts that carried the Dogs upward.

The north erupted. Week 10 belongs to the Hordes of Chaos, who thundered from the middle pack into second place with a return so violent it reads less like a campaign turn and more like an invasion omen.

The Great Plan moved slowly this week. The temple-cities traded blows with Skaven, Tomb Kings and Daemons, but the old cold-blooded certainty was blunted by too many reversals.

Battles in Karak Norn Wargaming this week

• [6th Edition – Local] Across ground marked for Capture, Tzunki_Tom’s Lizardmen fielding Southlands (LM-AB) locked shields with Nehekhara_Pete’s Tomb Kings fielding Quatar's Army (WebGW) in a 3,000-point grand host.

• [The Old World – Local] Under the demands of Meeting Engagement, Sotek_Awakens’s Lizardmen crossed blades with Settra_Chris’s Tomb Kings fielding Mortuary Cult (AJ) in a 750-point warband.

The battle refused to choose a master and closed as a Draw.

The Dawi climbed again, as Dawi tend to do: not with flourish, but with stone, grudges and a practical willingness to let everyone else break first. A local win over the High Elves helped restore the smell of forge-smoke to the upper middle ranks.

The Empire stayed fixed in sixteenth, but Week 10 had more steel in it than recent reports. ABadPainter delivered local massacres to Chaos Dwarfs and Kislev, even as the broader front remained punishing.

• [The Old World – Satellite] With the battle plan set as Pitched Battle, a verminous host of Skaven locked shields with a Druchii raiding force of Dark Elves in a 2,000-point army. The ratmen had more than numbers: a favoured warlord skulked at the centre of the swarm, driving the vermin forward. The edge went the other way, leaving a Minor Defeat.

• [6th Edition – Satellite] With the battle plan set as Breakthrough, a verminous host of Skaven engaged a Nehekharan host of Tomb Kings in a 2,000-point army. The attack found its mark and the result was a Solid Victory.

The ratmen remain close enough to bite at second place again. No one should assume the Under-Empire is finished with the summit.

Tomb Kings

  • Global standing: #6 ↔ (stable).
  • W10 performance: #8 ↓ (from #4).
  • W10 return: 1.50 PPG over 18 games.
  • Record: 44/23/21 (+7/+8/+3).

Nehekhara produced the week’s great ledger of endurance: eighteen entries, eight draws, and enough victories to keep the dead planted in the upper pack. The kings did not surge; they simply refused to stop marching.

Battles in Karak Norn Wargaming this week

• [6th Edition – Local] Across ground marked for Capture, Nehekhara_Pete’s Tomb Kings fielding Quatar's Army (WebGW) advanced against Tzunki_Tom’s Lizardmen fielding Southlands (LM-AB) in a 3,000-point grand host. The Southlands host moved in quick, scaled waves, skinks and sacred beasts working to one design. A sacred champion of the Old Ones marched with the cohort, cold purpose radiating from the scaled ranks. Neither side could force the last yard, and the field settled into a Draw.

• [The Old World – Local] Under the demands of Meeting Engagement, Settra_Chris’s Tomb Kings fielding Mortuary Cult (AJ) locked shields with Sotek_Awakens’s Lizardmen in a 750-point warband. The Mortuary Cult walked behind the line like a second army of whispers and bone-dust. The Mortuary Cult chanted without pause, every incantation dragging the battle closer to Nehekhara’s will. The battle refused to choose a master and closed as a Draw.

Reports of battles across the world

  • W10 return: 1.00 PPG over 6 games.
  • Record: 25/13/18 (+2/+1/+3).

Athel Loren rose despite a modest return. The forest took what it could locally, lost ground to Chaos, and still found enough quiet success to step over a wounded rival.

Battles in Karak Norn Wargaming this week

• [6th Edition – Local] Beneath the hard rules of Breakthrough, Athel_Sarah’s Wood Elves fielding Spirits of Athel Loren (WE-AB) met Ghorgon_Eric’s Beastmen in a 500-point Border Patrol. The Spirits of Athel Loren stirred with the sound of old trees waking to war. The forest answered the Asrai call, root, thorn and wind turning against the intruders. It was a hard-won edge, recorded as a Minor Victory.

The host gave ground by the slimmest of margins, suffering a Minor Defeat.

THE GREED OF HUATL: A DEATH IN THE DARK

-
Image
The oppressive heat of the Lustrian jungle clung to Piere the Young like a damp shroud. He wiped the sweat from his brow, his eyes straining against the encroaching darkness. Around him, the ruined temple-plaza of Huatl was a chaotic scene of men and horses. Instead of mounting up and riding for the coast, the Duc d’Lorrain had ordered his knights to dismount and pry the shimmering jade and gold artefacts from the moss-choked obelisks. "My Liege, we must leave," Piere urged, his voice hushed but desperate. "The canopy grows too thick. The sun has set. We are blind here." The Duc merely laughed, a harsh, greedy sound that echoed off the ancient stone, as he hoisted the magnificent Staff of Jade. "A few more moments, Piere! The King will shower us in glory for this haul!" But Piere wasn't looking at the gold. He was looking at the treeline. The shadows between the vines seemed to be shifting. A low, rhythmic hissing f...

War Room: A Dark Conspiracy – Week 4 Field Report

-
Image
The summer storms have broken across the Old World, and the fourth week of the campaign has delivered its most dramatic upheaval yet. Fifty-seven recorded engagements - from desperate 250-point border patrol skirmishes to thunderous 4000-point pitched battles - have been recorded in the archives. But the volume of blood spilled is not the defining story. The defining story is the emergence of six coalition engagements across the campaign: three in the Karak Norn heartland, three on the satellite fronts. Commanders broke from their individual campaigns to forge alliances, and in one local coalition, the alliance forged has a name that the campaign's chroniclers have been hesitant to write plainly: a dark conspiracy . Evolution of the meta this week. The Dark Elves seized the summit in a display of cold, perfect discipline. The summit of the ladder was shaken to its foundations. For the first time in the campaign, the Skaven have been unseated: The Dark Elves completed their ...

War Room: A Dark Conspiracy – Week 3 Field Report

-
Image
The summer heat has intensified across the Old World, and the escalating border tensions have erupted into outright war. This week, the archives have recorded a staggering 44 engagements, ranging from brutal 250-point border patrol skirmishes to a massive 4000-point pitched battle! Evolution of the meta this week. The Dark Elves came from nowhere and climbed with a master stroke. While the Skaven and Chaos Dwarfs successfully defended their absolute dominance at the top of the ladder, the middle tiers saw violent tectonic shifts compared to Week 2: The Undead legions faltered under the pressure; the Vampire Counts slipped from #4 down to #6, and the Tomb Kings were pushed from #5 down to #7. Filling the power vacuum, the Dark Elves surged rapidly to the #3 position, and the Hordes of Chaos climbed aggressively from #6 to #4. At the bottom of the ladder, the Dogs of War made a miraculous recovery, driven by massive paychests, jumping past Kislev and Beastmen to seize...

War Room: A Dark Conspiracy – Week 5 Field Report

-
Image
The fifth week of the campaign has delivered its most sweeping reshuffle. Seventy-five recorded engagements (from 250-point border patrols to 3,000-point grand hosts) have been entered into the campaign archives. The Dark Elves remain at the summit, their overall ledger the envy of every rival, but the week's honours belonged emphatically elsewhere. The dead rose in terrible order: the Vampire Counts swept through five engagements without conceding a single draw or defeat. The hosts of Ulthuan came surging back into the upper reaches of contention: the High Elves executed the most spectacular single-week ascent in the campaign's history, leaping eight places in a single accounting. And the ancient legions of Nehekhara advanced with the patient inevitability of the grave. Against them, the sons of Hashut collapsed from the top three despite two local massacres of the Empire, the northern warbands were ground down in objective engagements against their oldest enemies, and the ...

War Room: A Dark Conspiracy – Week 7 Field Report

Image
WEEK 7 – Reports from the Battlefront 63 clashes reached the campaign desk this week, and the war took on a stranger shape: less a clean reshuffle than a grinding of old scores, fresh wounds and unexpected revivals. The global crown remains in Skaven claws, but Week 7 belonged on the tabletop to the Ogre Kingdoms , who took a perfect return from three appearances. Kislev also surged, the Tzar’s riders carving a path upward through local massacres and satellite wins, while Hordes of Chaos and Tomb Kings kept the pressure on the upper board. The hardest fall was daemonic: the hosts of the warp plunged from the top four into the middle pack after a week of failed incursions. Best performers this week : Ogre Kingdoms : 3.00 PPG over 3 games; W7 rank #1 ↑ (from #17). Kislev : 2.50 PPG over 6 games; W7 rank #2 ↑ (from #7). Hordes of Chaos : 2.25 PPG over 4 games; W7 rank #3 ↓ (from #2). Tomb Kings : 2.20 PPG over 5 games; W7 rank #4 ↑ (from #9). Chaos Dwarfs : 2.14 PPG over 7 games...

About the Magic Items of the Mercenaries

-
A definitive mechanical weakness of the Dogs of War faction is their restricted logistical access to magical artifacts: specifically, their limitation to Common Magic Items. This vulnerability, which they share with Kislev allied contingents, mathematically disadvantages them against standard Ravening Hordes lists, and certainly against fully developed Army Books. However, historical documentation reveals a localized official ruleset: during the May 2005 Campaign Weekend, GW Italy published a campaign-exclusive list of Dogs of War magic items. These artifacts were subsequently re-validated in the July 2005 and 2006 Campaign Pack iterations. Norn Consensus Ruling: GW-Italy Dogs of War Magic Items After rigorous mechanical analysis of the GW-Italy Campaign-Weekend magic items for Dogs of War (Mercenaries), the Norn Consensus establishes the following standard for WHFB 6th Edition: Casual and Competitive Play: Approved. The mechanics and point costs are mathematically balanced and legiti...

War Room: A Dark Conspiracy – Week 6 Field Report

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 ↑ (...
