In Aqshy, a tower on the edge of civilization sits a lonely watchtower. Built in ages past to watch for the rampaging lava beasts or other horrors, it has long been seen as a necessary evil. A post to 'Burnt Man's Roost', where the heat climbs almost too high for even a mortal native of the realm to stand. Discipline is lax, but when the garrison failed to check in something had to be done. Premonitions of ill called for a full Stormcast invervention.
If only they knew that was exactly as planned....

 |
| Hallowed Knight Stormcast v. Beast's of Change! |
 |
| The battlefield, with the tower in the center (perhaps a forlorn remnant of scenarios past). |
 |
| On the left you have the Tzaangor force huddled around their tentacled Herdstone and Spawn pet. |
 |
| On the right the Stormcast form battle lines. They win the roll off, and give the Beasts of Chaos the first turn. |
 |
| Fulminators waiting on a lightning bolt, with an Emerald Swarm waiting to be cast. |
 |
| A band of 10 Tzaangors sneaking around to ambush their Order serving foes. |
 |
| The blue line surges forwards even as the shaman slices huge chunks of wiggling spawn meat to feed to the Herdstone. |
 |
| For their first game when painted the Skyfires roll (with their re-rolls) five 6's while firing at the Sequitors. |
 |
| Two remain, thanks to the intervention of the Lord Arcanum. |
 |
| The Stormcast move forwards... |
 |
| And then roll the double turn! Which they take. |
 |
| The Lord Arcanum jumps forwards to threaten the Tzaangor lines. |
 |
| Lightning strikes and the Fulminators arrive to support the Liberators and threaten the Beast's left flank. |
 |
| The Fulminators fail their charge, but the Liberators succeed, where they succeed in killing one of the elite Tzaangors (one of their own succumbing to a plume of fire due to a high charge roll). |
 |
| Unfortunately, the Fulminators failed their charge and the disks and beaks of the Skyfires tore the Liberator's apart. The Lord Arcanum's mount tears down another of the Tzaangors in revenge. |
 |
| The second Beastman turn has the other mob of Tzaangors arriving behind the dwindling Stormcast forces. |
 |
| Skyfires falling away to head to another objective, leaving the Lord Arcanum to the voracious Tzaangors. |
 |
| A crazy good beak roll manages to actually finish off the bird-riding wizard, allowing the magic-starved Tzaangors to feast well. |
 |
| Winning the turn 3 double turn, and knowing how dangerous the Fulminator's can be on the charge, the Tzaangors continue their charge. |
 |
| The remaining Sequitor's cut down by Skyfire's allow the ambushing raiders to hunt down and devour the Knight Incanter in return for one of their own. |
 |
| The Tzaangor's take casualties but they manage to pull one of the knight's from his saddle. |
 |
| Using the Emerald Swarm as a way to cover his flanks (and the first thing the spell managed to accomplish after healing a single wound) the Relictor charges in- but it's too late. That battle is won for Chaos! |
Beasts of Chaos Victory!
