The Sky Cutter swept down between the rocks and landed amongst a sea of bone. The giant eagle that bore the graceful craft pecked amongst the dry carrion whilst the riders leapt clear and began loading the injured and the dead onto the deck. Reavers galloped to the rocky outpost, the clack of hooves alerting Ethoric Windhelm of their arrival. "We have it my Lord" the captain bellowed frantically. Ethoric gathered a large bundle gently into his arms and mounted his horse, racing behind the Reavers, out of the camp and towards the forest.
Ethoric was greeted by a line of Spire Guard whispering nervously, their spear tips and arrows primed towards the darkness. The Seahelm dismounted and held the bundle in front of him, letting the swaddling fall free onto the forest floor revealing a gleaming golden egg. Something stirred, scattering leaves and shuddering the trunks of ancient trees. Ethoric tenderly lay the egg on the moss and bowed his head. He called something in a tongue long forgotten. On one knee he waited as the darkness drew closer.
Dragons!
I got lucky against Ev in the last game; I rolled some critical saves at essential times and my SkyCutter wreaked havoc. I held my stronghold and maintained all of my units despite suffering many casualties. My prize? A behemoth! And what better than a Dragon for my Aelves. I have the choice of two in my model collection. A Dragon Lord or a Carmine Dragon. The Dragon Lord would give me a double advantage of having another battlefield general too so we've agreed that I can use the Carmine Dragon at half health for my upcoming battle against John's Khorne horde. Here's hoping the current small size of my army doesn't count against me. I think the reward for this map is a unit of Elite infantry so I'm looking forward to using my Shadow Warriors in the future.
