Just noticed something with visiblehowl's latest board update--he put a warrior (daemonette) for Slaanesh into the Border Princes instead of the cultist (seductress) that Hippie summoned.
Tzeentch is second place on the dial Nurgle is first in VP, with a stunning late-game surge.
Between the two, I'd probably give "overall 2nd place" to Tzeentch, since he is two ticks away from victory and only 2 VP behind Nurgle. Slaanesh is stunned at the change in fortune, having gone from a solid lead in VP to last place in both VP and dials, behind even the lowly Nurgle's dial.

Congratulations to Darian on the Khorne Victory!
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE
Thanks to everybody who played, and especially thanks for your patience with my mistakes! Hopefully next time I'll do a better job of paying attention to detail...
Thanks for hosting this, visiblehowl, and good game, everyone!
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Slaanesh gets second place points in Kislev.
With all the "Khorne is overpowered" discussion in the discussion thread at the moment, I need to see if I can look back through here and figure out just how this happened.
Not sure what gave Khorne such a commanding lead in this game that other games have been lacking. I know there seemed to be very little interaction between us, both in terms of board placement and communication, not sure how that favors the blood god though
That was a good game. I felt really stymied for the first half there and a lot of moves that I thought were low risk turned against me. Big props to Khorne for shutting us down so well. Reaching a dial victory and almost a VP victory on top of that is incredibly impressive.
I don't have the rules on hand, but can Slaanesh even gain 2nd place ruination points through corruption placed outside of the corruption phase? Actually there's a good chance I've mixed that up with the ruination bonus.
yea think thats mixed up, 2nd place points are just based on the number of corruption tokens there, the bonus for everyone that contributed to ruination has to come from the corruption phase

Agh, whoops.
Well, that would have put Slaanesh at 43 victory points, tied with Khorne, 2 more than Tzeentch, but still 1 less than Nurgle.
Needless to say, if Khorne had rolled incredibly poorly this round and ended up with no dial advancement, next turn would have been veeeery interesting.
Looking back through the thread, I was reminded of just how badly this started out for me. Barely got a tick at all in the first round (hit the 25% chance in Kislev), then had to fight through two more Fields of Ecstasy in order to double tick the second round. On the bright side, that meant there weren't fields later to cause me trouble.
Round 2 saw an interesting targeting decision by Tzeentch, taking the peasant rather than killing my bloodletter in the Empire. My rolls stayed lucky, hitting in every possible region to get the double-tick.
By round 3, I had 20 hits total off of 26 dice; three bloodletters fell that round, so you all were definitely fighting back and forcing me to spend power to get my dice back.
Round 4 Tzeentch blocked me out of the Empire and Kislev with Stasis, forcing me to spend my first (and only drawn at that point) Battle Cry to keep things under control in the north. Lucky dice continued for me (11 hits on 16 dice, while everyone else went 1 for 6), but Tzeentch basically conceded the double-tick to me by focusing on the quick ruination in the Empire rather than attempting to tick in the Princes. Turns out I got three DAC, though, so in hindsight his decision was good.
And then we had round 5, where I had filled my hand with so much gas that I was able to react appropriately to everything you all tried.
Luckier dice for me and less for you would have made it a lot closer, considering killing that peasant gave me 5VP. Felt like I could either spend power keeping up with Slaanesh's VP total or trying to get more dial tokens to keep up with Khorne and losing the VP race. Also realized how much the acolyte upgrade helps, thought after meteor shower came up I could make up the difference with magic cards but not enough adaptability.

I even double and triple checked my work this time. Son of a bitch, I was about to submit the final update too....
Board at the beginning of the End Phase:
1. Remove Chaos Cards from the Board - No lasting effects.
2. Hero Tokens are resolved - Hero kills 1 bloodletter in The Border Princes.
3. Resolve Old World cards - Nurgle to place a skaven token in any region with a warpstone; The Grail removes all corruption from The Border Princes.
4. Score Ruined Regions -
Kislev - +10 VP
5. Advance Threat Dials - Khorne dials twice with 5 DAC, Nurgle and Tzeentch dial once.
Khorne:
∞ - Draw 2 Chaos Cards, KHORNE VICTORY
Nurgle:
18 - +3 VP
Tzeentch:
25 - Upgrade Card
Updated VP:
Khorne: 43

6. Check for Game end - Game is over:
KHORNE VICTORY
Tzeentch is second place on the dial
Nurgle is first in VP, with a stunning late-game surge.
Between the two, I'd probably give "overall 2nd place" to Tzeentch, since he is two ticks away from victory and only 2 VP behind Nurgle.
Slaanesh is stunned at the change in fortune, having gone from a solid lead in VP to last place in both VP and dials, behind even the lowly Nurgle's dial.
