Dwarfs vs Bretonnia (NEW ARCANE JOURNAL) | Warhammer The Old World (Live Battle Report)

The storm howled across the mountain pass, its fury whipping through the jagged peaks and drenching the battlefield in a relentless downpour. The Dwarfs of Karak Drak, their stout forms resolute despite the tempest, stood grimly defiant against the torrent of rain and wind. Their battle lines, normally so precise and orderly, were now shrouded in the swirling mist and driven rain, the thundering clash of lightning illuminating their grim faces. The mechanical hum of their war machines struggled against the storm's rage, but the engineers and warriors, undeterred, braced themselves for the oncoming clash. The storm mirrored their unwavering determination, a raw force that reflected the ferocity of their defense.

In stark contrast, the Bretonnian knights emerged like gleaming specters through the storm's veil, their resplendent armor glistening in the occasional flash of lightning. The relentless rain ran down their gilded crests and dampened the bright colors of their banners, yet their resolve remained unshaken. The Grail Knights led the charge, their steeds snorting steam and their lances held high, while the archers sought shelter under makeshift cover, their bows poised for the right moment to unleash a volley. The storm’s fury seemed to only heighten the tension, as both armies, driven by storm and steel, prepared for a cataclysmic encounter where the elements themselves seemed to demand a fierce and heroic struggle.
