Da Sweatin' Skullz patrol was stomping through the boulder-strewn, blasted earth of the planetoid they had recently landed on. Back at the camp, things were being set into order, and the Warboss himself, Warden Waaagh! led a small troop of shoota and slugga boyz out to scout around the area. As they approached a pair of large, brown, cracked boulders, the stench of sulfur began to hit their nostrils.

"Oy boyz, 'old up a second. Aye smell sumfin' worse than a weird boy 'ere," barked The Warden.

His senses were always right, and the Warboss knew why as the foetid group of close to half a dozen shuffling, pus-dripping, horned daemons of Nurgle shuffled out from behind one of the large boulders about fifty yards ahead.

"Get 'em boyz!" he screamed as the boyz charged, firing off their sluggas into the air and in the general direction of the Plaguebearers. Gork and Mork were smiling on the boyz, and one managed to actually explode one of the pus zombies like a blood sausage as the mob of shoota boyz, led by a Nob, began to round another boulder to out flank the zombies. The Killa Kan lurched into action, firing it's big shoota and hitting nothing but dirt.

The Plaguebearers barely moved before the boyz bore down on them, hacking them to pieces. The last Plaguebearer standing flailed wildly with it's sword, dripping in some liquid filth, before being cut in half by one boy's chainsword. Covered in splattered putrescence, the boyz cheered, their small brains not comprehending that even their fungal immune system would have a hard time fighting off the infection they'd received by splattering the Plaguebearers in such a way.

The cheers were cut short, and the Killa Kan heaved to a halt. The air behind the mobs of orks imploded in a slow motion suicide as bits of dirt sucked inward towards a point a few yards behind. Reality split and the most disgusting blob of ooze Warden had ever seen spilled through behind a small pool of bubbling flesh. The boiling flesh formed quickly into individual lumps of pus-ridden flesh, each with the semblance of a mouth and eyes. Small pseudopod lashed out as the Nurglings sprang forward into action. Behind them, the Great Unclean One smiled, rot rolling down its lips. Licking away the infection from around it's cracked, bleeding mouth, it belched the most disgusting belch any present had ever heard. A deep growl of a laugh was then heard as it lurched forward, raising a dripping sword above its head.

The Killa Kan had barely to turn around before it could reach the Nurglings with its saw, and it waded, along with the Warboss's boyz, into them. Their bodies went flying, and barely a boy was injured in the tussle. The shoota boyz were not so lucky.

They ran head-first into the Great Unclean One, and were ground like meat in a slaughter. Most were killed, and as the boyz tried to run, their Nob leader cracked two skullz together to keep them from running. It was to no use, as the Great Unclean One broke the survivors apart quickly, swallowing the Nob whole.

The Warden of Waaagh! smiled. This would be a good fight. Having finished off the Nurglings with minimal casualty, he lead the boyz to battle, the Killa Kan sauntering behind them with a belch of black smoke.

"Waaagh!!!"

***********

Man, I played a small game vs. my gfriend. Today we each had just under 300 points, she with Orks, me with Nurgle.

She had a shoota boy mob (7) with Nob, choppa mob (7) with Warboss, and a Killa Kan. I had a GUO, nurglings (4), and P.bearers (5).

The game was played for us to both learn the rules.

She assaulted my Pbearers (only thing I had round one) with her choppa mob round one, and absolutely devastated me. She killed all but one in the assault even with FnP and their saves and high T. To see who goes first, you roll off,right? She went first and I DS'd them about 10" from her. She moved, shot (killed one), and then assaulted killing 3 more. I didn't have a chance.

Round two sucked as I had no units on the board. My GUO and Nurglings all arrived, and over rounds 2-3 the Nurglings were slaughtered by here Kan and Warboss mob. The shoota boyz charged the GUO, and were slaughtered. They failed their morale roll, but she rolled again (failed) and then again (succeeded) due to her Nob's bosspole. She took two boyz out as the two wounds.

We stopped after round five to do other things, but had fun. We'll probably play again sometime. I have some unpainted Sisters of Battle laying around somewhere.

I'm liking the narrative here, good job at adding flavor. Its a shame your PB did not get a chance to get into combat, you got crippled in troops early unfortunately. Still, thanks for posting!

Enough with the Threadomancy!
