Oathmark - The Dead King Strikes

 The King of the Dead marches to war with a strike against the men of Heimdal. The undead king aims to occupy the Kirkja, the seat of arcane wisdom in the Kingdom of Heimdal.

King Thorstan of Heimdal assembles his army to defend his lands against the undead and battle is joined on the bleak and barren moors close to the Kirkja.

The armies waste no time getting stuck in.

The king of the dead charges with his revenant knights.

The dice fall, and the Heimdalr score much better (on the left).

The king is now alone and badly wounded.

The battle rages.

The Heimdalr are getting the upper hand.

But the linebreakers get flanked.

A ravens eye view.

By means of foul necromancy the kings bannerman is resurrected.

King Thorstan gets his unit of knights surrounded and himself badly wounded. 

He fights with the unatural vigour of his dark gods.

The beastmen come to his aid.

But the King of the Dead charges in to finish Thorstan.

The dice fall, and death comes to all, even the dead!.

The wraith is the only effective unit the undead have left and he is tied up fighting the giant.

Their king gone and their army in tatters the undead leave the field while the Heimdalr lick their wounds and crown a new king.

 

An Oathmark will be raised for Thorstan!.
