One of the Questors hasn’t been corrupted by Chaos much yet, and looks like a Warhound. The bikes are very corrupted, and look like Juggernauts! My Hellblades have always looked like Doomwings

Summary

Well that was bloody, first turn took a Hour + to go through, mainly with players thinking about, want they were going to do..which is fine..

From my perceptive, I think dice had big part to play in this game..But, the action was fast and furious when it happen and both sides did have their moments of glory, but Britt more then Trent, I guess…
