Et tout commença par un défi organisé sur Oldhammer forum; monter un Chaos Warband de WFB V3 avec une liste aléatoire. Chaque personne a créé une liste selon les proportions de bases proposées sur ce lien :
http://realmofchaos80s.blogspot.ca/2013/02/oldhammer-day-warbands-creation-and.html
et d’autres tables aléatoires provenant de Slave of Darkness ou Lost and the Damned. Les listes ont été redistribuées aléatoirement entre les participants. Je me suis donc retrouvé avec :
Leader :
chaos sorcerer Lvl 10 avec l’attribut hypnotic gaze et un disk de Tzeentch.
Followers :
4 half orcs (sérieusement qui a ça des demi orc? Lol)
6 chaos dwarfs
4 human cultist
Je m’étais imposé comme contrainte de seulement utiliser du matériel déjà en ma possession… Et ça adonne bien, j’ai trouvé tout ce qu’il faut dans mes tiroirs! J'ai donc utilisé des vieux maraudeurs de la 5e ed. comme demi orc (ils sont masqués et plutôt costauds), et récupéré le disc en surplus du burning chariot.

| La première sélection |

| Kit bashing de chaos spawn en plastique! |
Ce qui a commencé comme un petit projet à côté est rapidement devenu une vraie course contre la montre, c'était difficile de choisir où couper pour êtreen mesure de finir à temps, mais le jeu en à valu la chandelle!
Et voici la première photo de famille du warband:
Mais ma sélection originale ne s'est pas arrêté là, une fois le défi terminé j'ai eu tôt fait de fouiller mes tiroirs à la recherche d'autres troupes à inclure.
Et voice un brin de l'histoire qui a mener à l'ascension de Velok:
It has been over a year since the battle for Praag occurred. The victory was undisputable and exhilarating to the four Gods disciples, but not for the Retinue of Gneshok.
This once respectable light magister had turn toward The Lord of Change. Just as a mutt trying to catch a candle light, he had got to close to the illumination and lost countless fragments of his humanity. His shattered mind had become an open window through which demons could see the mortal realms. During 8 years, they directed his every action just like a puppet, until he found his place at the top of his very own Thrall wizard band.
Responding to the call of the Ruinous Powers, Gneshok led his followers to the very heart of the charge when the walls of Praag were breached. They had prepared themselves for many hours, waiting to cast a particularly strange spell elaborated by Gneshok himself. It consisted of the eight followers placed in circle, directing a flux of power toward him in the center to form a chaos star, he would then redirect the flux to the sky, summoning a storm of heated mercury to fall on the city. Only at this very moment did he realize he had been tricked. The spell was not his creation but a very demonic one, whispered in his mind by ignominious warp creatures. As he raised up in the air convulsing, an eyelid opened in his back, from his head to his heel. Three of the followers fell inanimate to the ground before transforming into flamers, while Dozens of horrors ran out through this breech before it closed.
The remaining wizards held ground around their master while supporting the attack. After the battle, Gneshok’s right arm Velok, , was able the reanimate his master. Gneshok was aware that his body was broken, but he knew a dwarf in the East mountains who could help. This Krakadrenn had a forge, where he practiced the art of combining flesh and steel. Gneshok ordered his men to gather anything of worth to be traded, such as bloodletter bones or demonette scales and hair.
On their way to the East mountains, the six wizards were ambushed by a group of half orcs. As they saw three companions melt to the ground like wax, they froze in place, reconsidering their underestimated prays. Velok then spoke their savage tongue with a clear and strong voice, telling them about the way of Change while observing the tribal symbols of their armors. These bastards were strong but quite easy to foul; he convinced them that the one eyed raven they venerated was just one figure of the Great Fiery Vulture he served himself. Velok knew that event was more than a coincidence. The Retinue of Gneshok needed a new leader and the Lord of Change had just given him the proper weapon to take control.
On their arrival at Krakadrenn’s forge, Gneshok spoke of his desire for the demonic handcraft they could provide and how he wanted his body reconstructed. Krakadrenn acknowledged to the request, containing his interest for the demon relics brought by Gneshok. The dwarf also saw Velok’s eyes, and realized that he might have more to offer than demon bits. The fact Velok led a bunch degenerated orcs with such an ease, like they were tamed dogs, also pleased Krakadrenn to the point where he felt the need to have a private talk with the sorcerer. Later that night they struck a bargain where the relics would be handed over to the dwarf as promised, plus four half orcs to be disposed at his will, in the exchange of some alteration to Gneshok demands.
The next morning, Velok’s half orcs ceased Gneshok and the other wizards to be imprisoned in Krakadrenn vaults. For two weeks, Gneshok was reforged to match Velok’s desires, gradually broken to pieces and fused to a giant shield. The dwarfs turned him into a horned disk. When the remaining followers were released and brought in front of this ignominy, they accepted Velok as their new leader, pleased even if somehow worried about the cold and twisted determination of their new champion. They helped him summon a demon inside the still breathing host that had become Gneshok to make him a proper disk of Tzeentch.
And so Velok left Krakadrenn’s forge on top of his new mount, followed by the remaining four Tzeentch disciples and four half orc bodyguards. A troop of six chaos dwarf mercenaries also joined in, appealed by the possible profit of raiding by the side of such a particular individual… and paid by Krakadrenn to deliver information about this new treacherous ally. The next step, exploring Kislev territories looking for new recruits, since to fully appreciate his new powers, Velok would need four more followers to complete the Thrall wizard band.
