Aetheros - Bragallot

Image

Aetheros: 'LET THE ECHOES OF DOOM RESOUND ACROSS THIS WRETCHED WORLD, THAT ALL OF LIVE AND DIED HEAR THEM AND DESPAIR!'

Image

Aetheros' fearsome cry chills the veins of the living and the dead alike, causing multiple imperial and undead troops to pause in fear for this round.

Image

The wyrm then moves to Gallikronn.

Aetheros: 'WAYWARD BROTHER, COME AND FIGHT ME INSTEAD OF WASTING YOUR BREATH ON THESE MORSELS!'

Image

Aetheros unleashes its lightning breath, however Isabella was preparing for that! She uses her magik to temper and absorb the wyrm's terrifying lightning breath, which she succeeds at (and gains a charge).

Pizzaro D'Oros - Silverdream

Image

Pizzaro: 'I was never a fan of anyway -'

Image

Pizzaro: 'It's just too conspicious!'

Pizzaro kicks away the slayer commander and another slayer who end up disrupted.

Image

He then cuts down another Falx trooper.

Image

Swordsmen and crossbowmen unaffected by Aetheros take down two officers.

The Iron Jarl - lawmaster

Image

The Iron Jarl: 'Face me one on one Esteban!'
Esteban: 'Bah, I don't need your fancy invites ghoul! If you wanna fight me just get over!'

Image

Skeletons slay an ork.

Image

The Jarl regardless of his failed taunt, attacks Esteban and deals 1 hp damage to him.

Image

Cultists load the catapult -

Image

- and fire!

Image

The payload annihilates the last of the black orks.

Isabella and Gallikronn - Scratch

Image

Isabella focuses her magic while Gallikronn attempts to fry Falx gunmen but fumbles! He still knocks over the other squad close to him again.

Falx Commander Esteban - Silent-sigfig

Image

Esteban: 'Begone mongrel!'

Esteban knocks away the Jarl, who loses a hitpoint.

Esteban: 'Push the attack!'

Image

Image

Image

The Falx and orkish troop beat down on the imperial and undead, killing 6 of them in total. Not pictured: riflemen failing to shoot Gallikronn.

Overviews and kills:

Image

Bragallot - 3
Silverdream - 6
Scratch - 6
Silent-sigfig - 13
lawmaster - 6

Send orders for turn 3!

Speech feats? How pathetic.

NEW RULE: Speech feats(anything to bost army skill/lower your opponents) always result in your hero being permanently demoted to regular fig, and you get the member title of "Huge Pussy"

I don't mind creative debuffs since they are more "in the spirit" of acting confrontational. But I do agree that minifigs don't need to be inspired any further since they are more than eager to join a fight. Also buff feats are just powergaming bullshit dumb fat nerds like to employ.

Oh absolutely. Crashing a septic truck into enemy ranks is a great way to debuff the enemy. If you choose to "let out a might roar", unless you're Simbaa or some shit is lazy.

While not exactly a feline king, Aetheros is a gargantuan zombie dragon powered by electricity, fuck you and HATRED. That does give him an intimidating edge over talkie feats, even though I "disprove" of the act (on a technical level I don't mind what the feat had as an effect, but the dialogue could have been delivered without it being the main focus, ie: the roar could have been a non-lethal chain or ball lightning zipping through the field as Aetheros gloats).

Still, orders are orders; altering or penalizing the player for them (unless failure of diceroll of course) defeats the point of playing the battle; at that point I might as well act the whole thing out alone and pretend it's some shitty soap because I don't deem your input "cool enough".

Oh, you want feats of massive chaos and destruction do you? Okay then.

While accompanied with speech (which I just include to give Aetheros some character and raise the stakes a little - essentially for fun), I saw the feat as an actual magical aura of fear like that of the Nazgul, it could've been achieved with a field of static that would paralyze the enemy or something like that but when the effects are the same who cares?

I apologize for not sending orders earlier, exams got in the way.
