Story Part 1.
The world was howling in pain. In the north chaos prepared to decend upon the world, in the south the dead stirred. Of course most of this was unnoticed by the warlord Furshearer. His glorious plans were going to take the dwarfs of the Grey Mountains by surprise and soon he would have all the holds nearby under his control. He marvelled at his own genius. The dwarfs would never notice as the skaven assaulted them above and below ground at the same time. Of course this would require a vast skaven army to approach the dwarfs from the outside and as it was the nearest skaven tunnels lay on the border of the haunted forest of Athel Loren. Of course this hardly mattered. Many warpstone tokens had been paid Clan Skyrer for a great amount of warpfire throwers. Actually Furshearer had more warpfire throwers than he had skaven that could use them. Of course granting them to carefully selected clanrats could prove useful. And to avoid the chosen being killed by envious and treacherous underlings hoping to gain their place, he would chose them on the eve of battle. Furshearer could only hope the dwarfs and nearby orc tribes wouldn't see the flames on the horizon.

Special Rules:
On the edge of a Forest: There should be about 5 forests on map. The wood elf placed forest is one of the five, but the wood elf player of course decides were this forest is placed. No forests may be placed closer than 12" to the edge of the battlefield.

A Thousand Flames: The players take turns to place 6 warpfire throwers on the map before deployment. The warpfire throwers are not allowed to be placed in forests, but must be placed so that they are within 10" of a forest. They are not allowed in their opponent's deploment zone(s). On the start of every turn (wood elf and skaven) they will shoot using artillery die and scatter die. The scatter die notes the direction, a direct hit means the skaven player is allowed to choose direction, and the artillery die notes how far away the template is placed. A misfire is treated as a normal misfire, roll on the chart.

Burning Forests: Once a forest has been hit by a weapon with the flaming special rule, it has a chance of catching fire. Any forest hit by a template with the flaming special rule instantly catches fire on a 2+. Everyone inside the forest takes a strength 4 hit. To wound forests with non-template weapons, roll to damage as normal against a toughness of 6 and a single wound. (Be aware that the scenario doesn't work if the "skaven" team is replaced with a team with too easy access to flame weapons. It goes without saying that a level 4 Fire Wizard would dominate this map in few turns.)

Victory Conditions:
There is a possibility that two or more teams achieve victory at the same time.

Skaven: If all forests are removed at the end of the battle the skaven are victorious. Even if the skaven host is destroyed but the task is fulfilled, the skaven will recieve their Victory Bonus.

Wood Elves: If all flame weapons are wiped from the battlefield the Wood Elves have secured a partial victory. If the opposing forces haven't been reduced to less than half strength the wood elves will not gain their full Victory Bonus.

Orcs: Seeing as the orcs are sort of a wildcard with no goal other than to destroy, they only win the battle if they wipe another team from the battlefield, meaning to score 2000 victory points before the battle ends. The points came come from both team.

Second battle: Vermin in the Basement

Story 2.
As dawn rose the Imperial army lead by A___ arrived at the dwarf hold. Far had they travelled to help their dwarf allies in their time of need. A message had reached the empire not many weeks before, telling of a great orc host besieging the dwarf hold. The Empire had been quick to respond, sending a Lord Magister from teh college to purge the greenskins. As the men gathered in front of the dwarf gates they wondered where all the greenskin had gone. There was hardly even signs of battle. After quite some time a dwarf called out to the men from atop the battlements, wanting to know what the humans were doing in dwarf lands. "The empire armies have arrived. We have come to aide you in this dark hour" A__ yelled in response. The dwarf throwing an angry scowl responded "We have no need for you umgi.". Confused and not yet willing to give up the human retorted: "But what about the orcs? We got your message of a great Waaargh and came to honour the old alliance". Now it was the dwarf's turn to be surprised even if his voice didn't give a hint of it, "What orcs? Our lands may not be completely free from the greenskins, but we've pushed most of them into the haunted forests on the other side of the mountains. They prove no threat to walls such as these", the dwarf banging his gromril gauntlet on the wall. A__ considered how to convince the dwarf "We have come to offer our aid, and we bring paid men, willing to die instead of your dwarfs.". A__'s words rang empty against the stone wall and behind him several mercernary companies started coughing. Before A__ could turn his angry gaze towards them, another dwarf pushed his way to the battlements. "I'm D___ and I hear commotion. You aren't fraternizing with the enemy, are you boy?". As the first sour dwarf stood back and A__ repeated most of what he had already said to D__, A__ noted that this other dwarf, even though slightly less sour, had no intention of letting him into their hold. "But my Lord dwarf we've come to kill greenskins and to honour our ancient alliance, forged between Sigmar and your ancestors. Would you turn us away when our cause is for the good of all?". After thinking for a moment D__ finally responded: "Fine. You can stay in my lands and hunt greenskin all you want, but you'll not enter my home and when your purpose is fulfilled you will go back to your empire with my gratitude. Understood?". A__ made an elegant bow directed towards the walls, "Of course my Lordship. However I also bid you send out an engineer to teach a younger race how to best make use of its powder weapons." A__ smiled even if the dwarfs couldn't see it because of his bow. "And perhaps you could find a gift of gratitude that we might ... " but before he could finish talking the dwarfs upon the wall started moving aronud with shouts and stout determination, all but one ignoring the lesser race. "Umgi! The smell of ratmen are upon us." D__ shouted before throwing orders left and right. "If you value your life you'll head with Sourscowl to the mines nearby, for though I do not quite understand how, the skaven have come to the surface!". A__ blinking in confusion. "Skaven?". "Ratmen umgi, get moving before the hills swarm with the foul things!". The human army moved in fast pace to meet up with their dwarf guides and as they vanished from sight, the skaven scout snuck back to the skaven camp. Bending his neck, the scout lowered his head to his warlord and whisper-squeeked "The manthings go-run to abandoned mine. Many foul dwarf-things guide them.". A nearby Grey Seer scurried off to send word to other skaven forces. "Fine." the great warlord wheezed, trying to contain his murderlust. "Kill-snip the eyes and the body rots quickly." The scout lifted his head in confusion, accidently catching Furshearer's eyes.

The first sign of the skaven assault of the surface was the little body of a ratman sent flying as from a catapult, splashing the walls in gore and sickness.

Meanwhile the humans arrived at the mines, shaking in awe as they passed into the dwarf crafted wonder. As the last lights faded behind them, the squeeking of a thousand rats began and a pair of glowing red eyes appeared before the alliance. The Lord of Thirteen Truths had gotten the Grey Seer's message.

Special Rules:
Infernal Mines: The skaven have placed mines. Place 10 counters, 5 of these use the infernal bomb special rule from the skaven book, the other 5 are merely decoys.

Assassin's Duty: A character killed by an assassin grants 100 additional points to the skaven, champions killed gives 50 pts more.

Underground battle rules:
.. most of the ones from the End Times book.

Victory conditions:
Empire & dwarf alliance: fighting a horde without numbers in a multitude of tunnels is close to impossible. The only way of getting free of the skaven is breaking a hole through their lines and making it to the edge of the table.

Third Battle: Battle for The Flames

Story Part. 3
"Damn vermin!" Ekil shouted from a safe distance. He fired his pistol and hit a clanrat, but to add insult to injury the shot failed to kill. Nearby a couple of dwarfs were pulling back a wounded comrade, while a single gunner fired against the slowly advancing skaven. The skaven group was nowhere near a horde, but as Ekil Copperfest and his team had come to reclaim the flamecannon, the vermin had started spilling out the walls. Though the dwarfs had killed many, the skaven's numbers knew no end. Slowly a rat ogre advanced on one side as a couple of hollow rocks filled with poison struck the walls nearby. Ekil ducked and reloaded his pistol as fast as he could. As he rose again the rat ogre was upon him and its large fist bounced off his armpur sending him scrambling back. Firing the pistol against the creature's head he screamed. He had expected to reclaim his beloved flamecannon and some of the other warmachines, but as soon as the dwarfs had shown interest in getting their machines back, the skaven had realized that it was weapons standing down there. Now the skaven were working on corrupting his beautiful machine. And worse, they were still hot on the dwarf's heels. And like all other dwarfs Ekil knew that there was no outrunning skaven unless you made a tunnel fall on them or left someone behind to hold them back. But Ekil could find neither way nor courage to pull of either of those possibilities and now his head was going to be smashed in by a rat the size of a wagon.

A wheesing sonud told Ekil to get down. As he threw himself flat the hallway was filled with flames and the rat ogre died before it could roar in pain. As he lifted his head slowly, making sure not to get roasted by accident, he saw a company of dwarfs advancing. Even better: it was an army, commanded by Thane Ranulf Sourscowl, maching forth to face the skaven menace. Ekil got up and joined them, hurrying to Ranulf to tell him of the lost warmachine. As the force approached the room where Ekil's forces had fallen, Ekil hurried up front to see how his machine was doing. As if struck by lightning he stopped. His beloved warmachine was already gone! He had been fighting the skaven thirty minutes ago and they had already had time to move it. Hurrying the dwarfs on, he followed the skaven trail through the tunnels to a big cave. In the distance he could see a skaven army prepared for war. And his beloved warmachine. With a big rumbling a piece of the cave came crashing down and warmachines started firing from the skaven line. Both Ranulf and Ekil knew that the skaven had to be dealt with - and quickly. Or dwarf weaponry would be turned against dwarfkin.

Fourth Battle:

Story 4.
King Baragaz would stand it no more. He had no intention of becoming a slayer nor a slayer king, but losing his hold's most valuable treasure, the very banner of the hold, would be too great a shame for his entire hold. The only way to make up for it would be to go out there and take back the banner before the skaven warlord could gather his full force. And so Baragaz took his best warriors and marched out.

Furshearer had never felt so invulnerable. He had even asked the recently returned Skysnipper to fire his warp-bow at the dwarf banner to test its might, and the shot had bounced right off. With power, intellect and now invulnerability, Furshearer couldn't wait to break the dwarf king and turn him to dust beneath his paws. And his underlings had never been so frightened of him. Good, he thought, maybe I can turn these cowards into a proper army. One worthy of the next great warlord of skavendom!

Fifth battle:

Story 5.
Furshearer screamed in anger. The most prized of his possesions had been taken from him! The nerve of the dwarf king, Baragaz, that had walked unto the field, vanquished Furshearer's vanguard and beat down Furshearer himself. Furshearer could not contain his rage and he roared for his chieftains to assemble the army. The tunnels to the underempire should be forced open and the full skaven might should storm across the surface to annihilate the dwarfs. The skaven host would wait no more!

The tunnels were without sound. Ranulf threw his angry glance around. This couldn't be right. The skaven had assaulted mercilessly for as long as Ranulf had been alive. And never had they been so successful as now. The dwarf artillery batteries were gone, many dwarfs dead and the stupid humans were gnawing on the last of the valuable dwarf rations. Why in the world would the skaven cease throwing their useless litter against the underside of the hold? Surely they would know that the this would allow the dwarfs to go out and gather more food? Maybe even get new cannons? Ranulf had an old friend from Karak Norn that could surely be counted on for more gunpowder weapons against the skaven. Of course the humans had brought some cannons to the underground, but they seemed like toys compared to good dwarf steel. A dwarf hardly clad in armour sprinted down the hall, past the lines of irondrakes and ironbreakers. Ranulf noted with sourness that the runner didn't bow before him. "Thane Ranulf ... " the runner wheesed "... the skaven come ... ". The runner stopped to draw breath and Ranulf sent him a look that could turn elves to liquid. "The skaven come from above!" Ranulf's expression froze, feeling a dreaded sensation. "I know of their arrival on the surface beardling, you are not saying that they ... ", "yes my thane, their full host have fallen upon the upper levels! The walls are breached and the vermin swarm inside. The king calls for a retreat to the throne room, and for Dwinbar Stonetoes to shut the doors from the inside." Ranulf's eyes turned red from anger and with his teeth clasped tightly, growled: "Dwinbar was killed by a skaven assassin". The runner stared in confusion as the truth dawned on him "but then we cannot close the rune barriers! The vermin shall swarm our ancestral halls and slay us all!".

"No!" Ranulf raised his hand and the Ironbreakers and Irondrakes suddenly fell silent. "Proud dwarfs live here and no ratman, grobi or daemon shall walk these halls unpunished!". "We go, to our King's side!" he cried with determination as his hand fell and the dwarfs began to move.

Behind the determined dwarfs the humans stood dumbstruck. With their long legs they could catch up to the dwarfs in little time, lending their support against the ratmen. None the less their general hesitated. Maybe it would be better to escape, if the underground was truly cleared? Or maybe go after the dwarf technology in the lower levels. But could he leave the dwarfs to their fight? They clearly didn't want him and his army here, but they certainly needed him.

Visik had finished his banner. It consisted of hides from many animals found close to the forest where the skaven had first entered. He had even found one of the dead elf-things and skinned it. As he crept through the skaven camp outside the dwarf hold he could hear roaring from the big cave. He wondered why he felt so little fear at the prospect of going toe-to-toe with the great Furshearer. After he had lost a most valuable banner, he had been forced to make a new one before the great leader would notice his banner was missing. Unbeknownst to Visik, Furshearer had found another banner and hadn't even cared to tell Visik he was no longer needed. But now it seemed there would be use for Visik anyway. As Visik trotted into the big cave Furshearer lashed out at a nearby clanrat dashing him to pieces. Furshearer turned to confront Visik, but froze as he saw the banner. From behind the banner rays of light streamed through it. The centerpiece elf glowed menacingly, the light streaming through his flayed skin, and a cloak of rabbits and rats streamed down from his shoulders, creating a cloak. In the elf's mouth hole sat a still living rat with tiny curling horns and glowing red eyes. Even in his frenzy he could recognize the Great Horned Rat's favour. Even as it dawned on Furshearer that he was no longer the commander of the army, it didn't really both him. He just wanted to finish this new banner, with the skin of the dwarf that had taken his old banner.
