RE: OD in Hell
Here's the Fluff to "Unter dem Doppel Adler in Hölle" :
The brutality of the 30 Years War reached new heights when General Tilly's Imperial Forces sacked the city of Magdeburg in 1631 & set off an orgy of rape,pillage & plunder. So great was the blood shed that it steeped into the earth in such vast quantities that it opened a portal to Hell. The victorious Catholic forces lost no time in exploring this gaping portal & discovered to their horror it was a Hell Gate.Brief clashes with demonic forces who resisted the humans exploration soon reached the Imperial Court at Wen and the Pope in Rome. Emperor Ferdinand II anxious not to be distracted from his crusade to rid Protestantism from the Empire, was disposed to order the sealing of the portal. Pope Urban VIII was however appalled at the blasphemy of the Hell Gate.He also was seeking ways to limit the power of the Hapsburg's who although Catholic presented too much concentration of power in their control of both Spain & The Holy Roman Empire.This power threated the Papal States in Italy which were sandwiched between Spain & the Empire. Pope Urban decided the Hell Gate was the perfect distraction to keep the expansive Ferdinand occupied. The Pope invoked a Crusade to cleanse Hell & requested that Ferdinand provide the forces. Ferdinand reluctant to put aside his campaigns in Germany, nevertheless could not ignore the Papal obligation placed on him.He therefore instructed General Tilly to make some forces available for the conquest of Hell. Thus the cleansing of Hell was begun as a poor stepchild effort,the Emperor supporting it enough to show his obedience to Papal wishes but not enough to interfere with his war against the Protestants. I now have Twelve 10mm Armies to paint up: 9 for each Demonic Level + Holy Roman Empire + Harpy's (Infernal Woods -2nd Level Special)+ Knights Templer (4th Level Special). OD Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,— Wailing for the lost one that comes not again: |
