A mate has dropped out of our 2v2 game this Saturday, so now it's my 2400 lizards and 2400 of DE's versus 4800 of Dwarfs. Rather than just deploying and rolling dice I'd like a bit of a narrative. I'm just struggling with a reason as to why the Lizards would be fighting with the DE against the Dwarfs. All I can really think of is the DE have an item of immense importance to the Lizards, and have strong armed the Lustrians into helping them defeat this band of Dwarfs... If it was a campaign the follow up could be me v the Elves in cold blooded revenge!
Easy. A Dark Elf once spilled his strawberry daiquiri down a dwarf's front at a Soiree. Seeking revenge, the Dwarf's descendants take ship, aiming roughly west and land on Lustrian Soil. The most direct way to Naggaroth is through a temple city, where the clumsy bristlenecks knock over a tray of the Slann's Ixti grubs. The DE counterattack comes at the moment when the righteous LM square off against the uncouth grudge monkeys. After the battle, everyone has a laugh until a dark elf spills his strawberry daiquiri onto an ixti grub. Everyone kills everyone else. The ixti grub escapes but becomes an alcoholic. Seeking revenge, the ixti grub's descendants etc etc There is only war. Who needs a reason?
Or the Dwarf army has sailed (or zeppelin-ed?) over to Naggaroth to set up a mining colony and a nearby Slann sees this as a violation of the Great Plan. The Dark Elves are attacking the Dwarfs anyways and the Lizardmen arrive to purge the stunties from the continent. Then kill the Dark Elves (but not before they've helped the Lizards carry out the Old One's plan). But personally I like the spilled strawberry daiquiri.
Love the spilt strawberry daiquiri scenario... though I'm curious as to how Dark Elf's and Dwarves found themselves attending a Soiree together.
Bob, Pete... Just soooo much win there! The scenario I came up with was really po faced and OMG SUPER SRS U GUYZ. Top work, chaps.
