Battle for the Catacombs

 After defeating the King of the Dead at the battle of Kirkja, Grimm Thorstansson gathers his army to avenge his fallen father.

He strikes deep into the lands of the dead to burn the catacombs from which the revenant warriors rise.

As King Grimm and his army enter the land of the dead the sentinels awaken. Their warning cries bring the undead army to war.

King Grimm aims to destroy the Oathmarks of the dead while the dead defend their ancient standing stones from their mortal enemy.

The armies deploy for battle.

Vimura the necromancer and Vlad the vampire lead the dead.

Their skeletal soldiers guard the sacred stone.

The Heimdalr line. As the battle starts Grimm and his companion knights have eaten poisoned food and can only activate on a 7+. 

A severe blow to the Heimdalr before swords are even crossed.

Fierce fighting round the central stone sees the skeletons pushed back but the men are disordered.

Attacked by a wraith of Hel this unit breaks.

The beastmen recoil from the barrow worm.

Even the giant is bested by the revenants, fails his morale test and flees the field!.

The Helwraith attacks again and more Heimdalr fall back in disorder.

Only the Priest of Heimdal has any success against the foul wraith, wounding the apparition with sorcerous fireballs.

Even the lightly armed ghouls get the better of the unnerved warriors.

The vile worm finishes off the beastmen with gusto.

The Helwraith, bringer of death.

The dead surge forward as the Heimdalr quit the field.

Defeated and demoralised King Grimm Thorstansson retreats back to Heimdal.
