Deployment from Empire's right flank to left....

So the idea was to 'sacrifice' the skinks and kroxs (M of 6" is key for this tactic) to the war machines (or hope they blew themselves to kingdom come)and allow the steggie and saurus to rampage through the main battle line. Movement was to charge forward and get into HtH. The swarms were used as a shield for the saurus but this was deemed unnecessay since there were no missilers around. The one unit of skinks hid in the forest to be a pain and hinder movement. In hindsight I probably should have moved the skinks into the trees and the Kroxigors behind the forest to attack whatever. This could have been a little easier as they all have 6" movement. Oops

First round.......

All the liz moved forward. The skinks skulking in the trees shot at the halberdiers and killed one lousy guy.

Empire moves forward and then fires. The mortar lands on the skinks and kills 5 but they pass panic. Hellblaster and handgunners rake the skinks in front of the kroxs with lead. Through the smoke emerges one little skink champion. He is so cold blooded that he ignores the death and dismemberment thanks to his saurus leader close by.
Magic was largely ineffective.

Second round......    Pistoliers weren't there yet. A graphics goof.

All hell breaks loose. I knew the strength of detachments so I wanted to charge the one with the steggie and then moved the saurus so their flank would be protected by the woods to their left. I wanted the swarms to hold up the Greatswords as both units would be near unbreakable and evenly matched. I intended to ignore the war machines and hope Steve charged my kroxs with his knights. I figured the kroxs could do a lethal countercharge and win the fight. The steggie charges and the detachment passes it's fear test. Everyone else moves forward. I think a skink killed a pistolier.
HtH.... steggie romps through the halberdiers and continues through.

Both the Swordsmen and the Greatswords pass their Terror test as the steggie is within 6". This is the beginning of what I see now as Steve's whole plan. To make EVERY Ld test needed and watch as I fail all mine. The swordsmen charge the saurus and I allow the halberdiers to do so as well. The Greatswords fail their charge on the swarms and Steve intelligently leaves the Kroxs to the war machines.
Hellblaster does 2 wounds to a Krox and then blows up. I loved this part... The skinks in front of the mortar are too close to be a target. The mortar fires at the Kroxs and then deviates 10"..... RIGHT ONTO THE SKINKS destroying them all. Handgunners fail to wound a Krox.
HtH..... Swordsmen do a wound to a saurus as do the halberdiers. I fail almost 15 to hit rolls and end up wounding 2 swordsmen who pass one armour save. Saurus lose CR by 2 (1 wound and outnumber) and I fail Ld, rout and am run down. Oh the pain.
Magic does nothing.

Round 3........    Handgunners move down off their hill. another graphics goof

Steggie repositions for a charge on the Greatswords. Swarms charge and kill one lousy Greatsword. Greatswords win combat. Kroxigors and Saurus hero charge the knights. Knights pass fear test. Hero and Kroxs do enough wounds to kill every knight and the wizard too. Continue onwards.

Pistoliers, Swordsmen and their detachment move to help the Greatswords. Mortar shot goes far and handgunners move for a better position but the lone skink is being a pain in the ass by hindering march moves.
HtH .....Greatswords lose another man (after 10 attacks, only 1 wound?? Jeeez) and kill a base.

Round 4.......

Kroxs and hero are too far for a charge and move forward. Steggie charges and of course Greatswords pass Ld for being charged in flank. Impact hits, Steggie attacks and every other skink and liz swarm do their damage. Greatswords reel in agony but Steve rolls his Stubborn roll and gets an 8. Of course!

Detachment, Swordsmen charge the flank of the steggie after pasing their Ld. Pistoliers charge after passing their Ld. See a trend? Combat is a mosh pit and the steggie comes out relatively unharmed but still loses due to outnumber, standards and rear attacks bonus.
At this point I call the game.
