THE PURGE
O F A N V I L GA R D
It is the final weeks before the fall of Anvilgard, and a wave of terror has consumed the city. A spate of gruesome
murders has left panic and paranoia in its wake but few answers, and while open insurrection has not yet spilled out
onto the streets, danger lurks in every shadow. Keiser Ven Brecht, a Lord-Veritant to the Anvils of Heldenhammer,
has been tasked with bringing to justice those who would threaten the City of Scales. It is a race against time, for the
city’s armies – including even the Stormcast Eternals – are already stretched to breaking point, and an uprising from
within could spell disaster…
This campaign is a narrative
campaign for 2 players: one takes
the role of Ven Brecht and the other
the Blackscale Coil, the shadowy
organisation that plots the city’s
downfall. The campaign will last
for 3 or 4 battles as Ven Brecht
uncovers clues as to the identity
and whereabouts of the Blackscale
Coil and then confronts one of its
crimelords in battle. This narrative
campaign explores the events that
happen in
Warhammer Age of
Sigmar – Broken Realms: Morathi,
and makes for a perfect evening or
weekend’s worth of gaming.
one that is used. The Ven Brecht
player chooses which player uses
which deployment points and how
the deployment card orientates
with the battlefield.
7. Any instructions on the victory
card or twist card are carried out.
8. The battle begins.
• Lastly, roll a dice for each
other fighter in the Blackscale
Coil warband that was taken
down. On a 6, Ven Brecht
uncovers another clue whilst
interrogating them within the
confines of the Black Nexus.
2. The Ven Brecht player makes
injury rolls and destiny rolls as
normal.
3. Both players then make 1 roll
on the lesser artefacts table. In
the case of the Blackscale Coil
player, they do not need to give
the artefact to a fighter until they
muster their warband for the
next battle.
4. No other steps are taken,
including adding and removing
fighters for Ven Brecht’s warband.
If a fighter in Ven Brecht’s
warband is slain, he must continue
with 1 fewer warrior at his
disposal; there’s no time to muster
reinforcements!
the ‘Bring to Justice’ battleplan
is fought. This is the final battle
of the campaign and its outcome
will determine who is declared the
winner of the campaign. If after all
4 locations have been searched, Ven
Brecht fails to uncover 10 or more
clues, the campaign immediately
ends and the Blackscale Coil player is
the winner.
NARRATIVE CAMPAIGN
The Blackscale Coil player does
not muster a warband to begin
with. Instead, they are free to pick
a different warband for each battle
fought in the campaign, as explained
later. Before the campaign can begin,
the Blackscale Coil player must
choose how to divide the assets of
the Coil. There are 4 locations in
the campaign:
Bleakscale Harbour,
the
Gullies,
the
Ironweld Towers
and the
Undertunnels.
The player
picks 1 of these locations to hold
the major assets,
2 others to hold
minor assets
and the last to be the
decoy
that holds an ambush instead!
The location of the assets must be
recorded and kept secret (note that a
cunning player might turn the page
to see what sort of battles are fought
at each location and assign the Coil’s
assets accordingly).
There is no aftermath sequence
for the Blackscale Coil player (any
fighters taken down are considered
slain or imprisoned by Ven Brecht).
1. The Ven Brecht player uses a
different aftermath sequence
as follows:
• Ven Brecht uncovers a number
of clues determined by which
assets the location of the battle
held (see the previous page).
• If Ven Brecht’s warband earned
a victory, Ven Brecht uncovers
an extra D3 clues.
• Ven Brecht uncovers 1 clue for
each monster, Scourgerunner
Chariot and ally included in the
Blackscale Coil warband that
was taken down.

On average, it will take 2 or 3 battles

THE FINAL BATTLE
Whether or not Ven Brecht
delivers justice unto the
Blackscale Coil’s crimelord, in
the wake of this campaign, he
takes his findings to the high
conclave of Anvilgard – just
in time for Morathi’s arrival
in the city! After playing
through this Warcry narrative
campaign, if you wish to
continue Ven Brecht’s story,
you can find 2 battleplans for
Warhammer Age of Sigmar in
Broken Realms: Morathi

The Undertunnels
and
The
Fall of Anvilgard.

of the 4 locations to search. Each
location can only be searched once
during the campaign.
2. The Blackscale Coil player musters
a warband to a size determined
by the assets that the location
holds (see above). The faction
of the warband must be
Cities
of Sigmar
(Anvilgard ).

KEISER VEN BRECHT ABILITIES
[Double] Scour For Corruption:
Pick 1 enemy fighter
within 1" of this fighter and roll a dice. To the score of that
roll, add the value of this ability and add the number of
damage points allocated to that enemy fighter. If the total
exceeds the Wounds characteristic of that enemy fighter,
Ven Brecht immediately uncovers 1 extra clue. The same
enemy fighter cannot be targeted by this ability more than
once per battle.
[Triple] Lantern of Abjuration:
Until the end of the
battle round, subtract 1 from the value of abilities (to a
minimum of 1) used by enemy fighters while they are
within 9" of this fighter.
SCOURGERUNNER CHARIOT ABILITY
[Triple] Plough Through:
Until the end of this fighter’s
activation, the next time this fighter makes a move action,
it can move through fighters, but it cannot end its move on
any fighters. At the end of that move action, allocate 2D6
damage points to each fighter it moved through.

THE CITY OF S CALES
BLEAKSCALE HARBOUR
Always a nefarious hive of underhand dealings and
black-market trade, Bleakscale Harbour has seen an
even greater number of murders than usual over the
past weeks. Some are no doubt connected to the dark
plot that threatens the city. Ven Brecht has learned of
several warehouses by the docks whose ownership is
missing from the city’s record of tithes. It’s time to kick
down the door and learn what secrets are held within.

Victory:
Roll a D3. The Ven Brecht player is the
attacker.

3 – Hold Our Gains
Twist:
Deluge
M E RCI L E SS J U ST ICE
Over the past few weeks, Ven Brecht has been stamping out an insidious plot that has taken root in the
shadows of Anvilgard. Every clue points to the same culprits: the Blackscale Coil. While the true leaders of
the Coil are still masked in mystery, Ven Brecht has uncovered the identity and whereabouts of one of its
many crimelords, a Black Ark Fleetmaster by the name of Thalos the Cruel. Ven Brecht now marches on
Thalos’ hideout in Bleakscale Harbour with his Black Watch retinue at his side, ready to deliver swift and
terminal justice to those who have sought to undermine the God-King’s rule in Anvilgard. Though for all the
Lord-Veritant’s power, it would be wise to approach with caution. Those of the Blackscale Coil are adept at lies
and subterfuge, and no doubt this crimelord has treacherous machinations in place to help him escape justice.
Blades are drawn; it’s time for the final battle of this campaign to begin!

C ON V IC T ION
Before the warbands are mustered,
for each clue beyond 10 that Ven
Brecht has uncovered, the Ven
Brecht player can choose 1 of the
following rewards: 1 additional
wild dice, or 1 additional roll on the
Lesser Artefacts table. For example,
if Ven Brecht has uncovered 12 clues,
the player can choose 2 rewards. This
represents Ven Brecht being better
prepared the more he has discovered
about the Blackscale Coil!

The Blackscale Coil player musters
a warband of 1000 points following
the same guidelines in the ‘Fighting
Campaign Battles’ section on the
previous pages. In addition, the
warband includes the Crimelord of
the Coil as its leader. This fighter
does not cost any points and has
its own fighter card and abilities as
shown below. The Crimelord of the
Coil must be placed into the Shield
battle group.

The Blackscale Coil player sets up the
terrain to resemble the crimelord’s

The dilapidated slums of Anvilgard’s tumbledown
districts – known locally as the Gullies – are known
to be dangerous even to hardened troopers of the

to interrogation. One of these criminals must know
something of importance.

On the outskirts of Anvilgard rise vast watchtowers

The obscuring miasma of chemical mist that hangs over
the area would make a fine location to keep something
hidden. Seek out any answers it holds.

The ancient sewers of Anvilgard run labyrinthine
