The battle for Hel Crown reaches the final phase, as vile Skaven continue to overwhelm the dwindling Stormcast Eternal defenders. With two-thirds of the city under Skaven control, things are not looking good for Sigmar’s finest—has the sheer number of ratmen rampaging into the city proven too much?
Yet not all is lost. You still have time to affect the result—you’ve got until the 5th of August to play a game and log your results using the QR code found in the Skaventide box. To the winners, the spoils: They will not only control the city of Hel Crown and the realm gate to the Realm of Chaos that lies within its walls, but they’ll also see all of their upcoming miniatures revealed at an exclusive preview event on Saturday, the 10th of August!
Here are the results, as they stand at the time of publishing.
The final battle for Hel Crown is raging in the Grifts, a tightly packed district of hovels raised by the Khornate tribes that once lived here during the Age of Chaos. Sigmarite domicile shells have been constructed on the perimeter, forming an unintended line of defence.
This hasn’t been enough to keep the frenzied throngs at bay though, and the Skaven have swarmed through these shanties as sorcerous sinkholes swallow other structures whole and disgorge yet more invaders. The task of defending this area was impossible, and the district has now fallen. The hour of defeat surely draws clear, but there is still time left.
Meanwhile, outside the city, …
After losing ground to the Forces of Order on the Gheistclay, the Skaven have redoubled their efforts at the Isle of Teeth. This fastness is studded with dilapidated gun forts that were once part of a defence network protecting the only viable point of ingress – Gunner’s Maw. The Forces of Chaos have surged over the defences, crushing palisades and buttresses before them and sweeping away the defenders with the sheer press of bodies.
As Skaven engineers pick over the remains, the ruins of once-mighty forts become a confusing warren of nests, in which Clanrat war-swarms gather in preparation for a final assault upon the beleaguered defences of the fortress-city itself.
There are just a few days left to decide the winners. Make sure you register your vote by the 5th of August!
