BTB - Sword of Damnation and Last Orders

Hey,

Is the Sword of Damnation chaos artefact taken into the battle in Last Orders? The scenario does not allow for any weapons but on the other hand I cannot see that any warband would let the Sword of Damnation be put into the weapons box at the door to be guarded by the ogre bodyguard. I think that all of the chaos artefacts would be taken into the battle. This then begs the question of whether the Sword of Damnation be wielded in Last Orders and I guess this is my real question from this topic.

Can the Sword of Damnation be wielded in the Last Orders scenario?

I hope not as that would suck for all of us neutral / good warbands. I would love if the answer is that the warrior(s) with chaos artefacts (or at least the Sword of Damnation) have to miss Last Orders and not participate in the battle but that seems a bit steep also.

Thanks,

Ben

Oooh, yeah. Definately no Sword in Last Orders. That would be a very onesided battle. My suggestion for a simple additional rule is this (put in scenario description):

Any model wielding one of the four Chaos artefacts may not take part in the game, unless it can unequip the item and put it to the warband's stash (note that Chaos leaders never discard a Chaos artefact freely so they will always miss this scenario).

Thanks.
