When the Abyss first widened the Brotherhood felt it the most in the practical sense. Fortresses toppled into the chasm and countless more were taken as slaves.But not all would go down so easily.

Yeah painting for this army is slow in coming (abyssals). Got sick recently and a few other side projects delayed it, but hopefully for the final battle everything will be done
The combat report is compiled well. On the table there is no annoying mezhaniny of markers, cubes and all that is necessary for the game – this is particularly pleasing, I think this approach is correct for the fan games. But I would like more painted miniatures and decorated stands. unformed stands cause my eyes to bleed more than bad painting…
Good report, fun to read!
Sweet table, and I like the narrative you had going in the beginning.
Yeah, Corathan is one of my better opponents, I would say we are most likely around 50% vs eachother. Most games it comes down to the dice.
