Molgrur stood face to face with the Lord Arcanum who's golden armour shimmered and glinted as the gryph-charger, skittish with fear, chirped and jostled his rider.

Never one to turn down his chance to fulfil his destiny and turn into pure Chaos – the gift from Morghur himself - the Beastlord had accepted the challenge by the Lord Arcanum to fight in the middle of the battlefield, before their troops faced each other. He revelled in the chaos that a full battle bred, the smell of sweat and blood mixed with fear and terror, but this was the chance to stamp his authority on the Herd at the same time as gifting another soul to the Chaos God.

The air was tense as the chaotic eyes of Moglrur searched for every and any possible detail that would lead him to victory, he noticed the dried blood on the Gryph-chargers back leg and how he favoured it when he put his weight on it. He saw the dent in the chest plate of the Lord Arcanum, it looked fresh. The metal would be weakest there. He breathed heavily, the cold air showing his breath as steam, dragon like, and then with an almighty roar, he raised his man-ripper axes, embued with the power of the mutating Gnarlblade and crashed into the Lord Arcanum with a power that took the Stormcast and his mount by surprise.

Smashing the axes down, again and again, slicing through steel and flesh and feathers. He shivered with chaotic energy as the Lord Arcanum succumbed to the frenzied might of the Hero General of the Mutilating Brayscourge, a manifestation of Chaos itself.  The Gryph-charger was panicked and so the razor like beak and claws were uncoordinated and ineffective.

As the herd brayed and bellowed behind him, and the dust settled and the mist cleared, Molgrur raised the grisly trophy of the severed head.  The herd around him let out a guttural cry as the chaos grew in them, feeding them with the energy they needed to fight even harder. The stampede towards the shocked Stormcast lines had a noise and a ferocity that would have shaken the bravest of hearts. The Battle had begun.
