The Slaughter at Hel Crown – The First Results Are In

The Slaughter at Hel Crown rages. The forces of Order do their best to hold this all-important stronghold in the Adamantine Chain, while in the streets and plazas the Stormcast Eternals battle against the Skaven menace for control of the city – and access to the realmgate portal beneath…

You’ve got until the 5th of August to play a game and log your result to help decide the fate of this vital fortress-city. We’ve already had lots of immaculately filed battle reports flooding in, as well as a huge bundle covered in warpstone and gnawed around the edges fired directly into the office without warning.

Here are the totals as they stand at the time of publishing.

With many thousands of games reported, it appears that the frenzied swarms of Skaven have secured a formidable lead against Sigmar’s man-things and their oversized hammers.

Matters are indeed dire, the Skaven have been prowling the slime-coated shacks of the Scabs in search of a grotesque prize: corpses of mutated Parch Whales whose innards are aglow with the sickly light of warpstone. 

In the Gilder District, high society has rapidly converted to worshipping a new deity known as Good King Gnaw. In service to their new patron, the cult has undermined the Stormcast Eternals, though the screeching horde pays little respect to their treachery. 

Outside the city, the forces of Ruin are in the ascendent, as the unclean energies emanating from the Gnaw expand the Lands Anathema. The Skaven scuttle ships and devastate ports, cutting the city off from seaborne support.

The winners of the battle within the walls of Hel Crown will get all of their upcoming releases for 2024 revealed early at a preview which will take place on the Saturday the 10th of August, so even if the results don’t go your way you’ll be able to see some incredible new miniatures.

We will also be drawing five entries at random, and those players will win every Stormcast or Skaven release (your choice!) up until the end of July 2025. Terms and conditions apply.
