Welcome to another brief summary of a battle report I was lucky enough to host against my regular sparring partner Todd. He was once again running his Empire forces intent on breaking my dried husks of former men in Nehekhara, but this time with the unique flavour of the Mortuary Cult.

Todds list was as follows: ++ Characters [803 pts] ++ General of the Empire [358 pts] - Hand weapon - Full plate armour - Shield - Imperial Griffon - Two heads - The White Cloak - Sword of Justice Captain of the Empire [108 pts] - Hand weapon - Full plate armour - Shield - Battle Standard Bearer - War Banner - On foot - Burning Blade Witch Hunter [88 pts] - Additional hand weapon - Light armour - On foot - Ruby Ring of Ruin Priest of Sigmar [69 pts] - Great weapon - Heavy armour - Shield ...
