The Lake of Despair

Lake of Despair-8f061549

Submitted by:

Tectonic Dan & Nuno Martins @WH_narratives

Ancient fortifications dot this high snowy peak, and the structures seem to be relatively intact compared to other places in the Dell. Explorers tell of deep catacombs underneath the snow and rock, filled with preserved traces of the civilization that existed here previously. So far they only brought back pottery shards and rusted weapons, however.

The area would be a perfect place to set up a real defensible position by any of those interested in conquering the vale, if not for its current guardians. A number of animated bronze statues, taking various centauroid forms, and wielding old but well-crafted weapons, challenge any who dare trespass. The challenge is truly a sporting one: the constructs seem to be looking to test each other’s skills, as well as those of their guests. Often the constructs will team up with invading enemy warbands, against each other, in a grand game of sorts.

When the battle is over though, the construct warriors will kick out any stragglers from the area, silently and without explanation.

Rules:

Do not destroy without permission
Soulbound Doom Level: 4

Warcry Twist Rules:

Lake of Despair: dangerous terrain. Additionally, subtract 1 from the move characteristic of Move actions across the lake. Furthermore, any units that move on the ice more than 5″ from their initial position since the start of their activation, must roll a D3: they must move that amount further in the same direction they were moving during their last action. They cannot move backwards.

Realm Rules:

(Rules based on Holy Havoc, Holy Wars, by Steve Herner)

Construct Avatars: Each player has a Construct Avatar added to their army. The model counts as a friendly model (see the provided warscroll for rules). Construct Avatars can never attack each other. They use the warscroll for a Cygor, but they have no Keywords other than MONSTER, their Save is 4+ and they possess a Ward of 5+.

Lake of Despair: Must cover the center of the table, and occupy the majority of it. Deadly terrain. Additionally, subtract 1 from all run rolls to a minimum of 1, and any units that attempt a charge on the ice may attempt to charge units that are 15″ away instead of 12″. After the charge roll has been made the unit must add D3 to the charge roll and must move the full distance. You cannot move backwards. 

Cracks Underfoot: At the end of each battle round, roll a die for each unit standing on the Lake, on a 1-2 they suffer D3 Mortal Wounds.
