Turn4

 

Empire

Outriderscharge stegadon. It stands and shoots but kills not one rider. Dwarfs moveforward for the first time. The battle standard rides about the place.Flagellents charge cold ones in the flank. Wizard lands right in frontof the skinks. Cannon mills down two saurus warriors with an almighty boom.The temple guards for some reason disappear from the battlefield, due tosome freak wind of magic (actually, at this point I realised that I hadmiscalculated my army and not included the points value of the guards,and I took them away and gave Niall the victory points. We all actedwith good humour and the problem was solved quickly). The hero challengesthe empire general but he doesn't die, clinging onto one wound. 1 flaggelentdies but two cold ones die. I had to get  5 or under for the coldones to past their test. I rolled the first one : a 6! The second one:a 4!! And I prayed to the lizard gods and rolled the last dice, it wasa 1!!! Sotek had saved me! The skinks killed no halflings, the haflings killed no skinks. The stegadon loses nothing and kills 5 outriders!! Magic,the slann dispelled four fireballs.

Lizardmen

Skinks chargethe wizard who runs. They go their full charge range, in hope that theywill get near the village. They end up 8" away, too far. The loneskink runs as far as he can  but is still too far away from the buildings.The other saurus charge the general. The slann charges just his full chargerange into the flagellents. The skinks kill one halfling and the halflingskill one skink. They end up in a draw. The fearless saurus leader sacrificeshimself in a challenge with the general. He dies horifically with an overkillof two. The frog wreaks havoc on the flagellents and kills 5 of them. Beingdrug-crazed priests, they can't run away, damn!! Another cold one fallsand another flagellents dies too. The saurus easily pass their ld testwith the prescence of their master. The stegadon loses a wound but killsall but one outrider. Fearing the huge beast, they run and give me thefinal two victory points. There is no magic and the lizardmen win the battle!
