    Lizard list.
    20 block of saurus with oldblood
    Aprox 12 block of temple guard with bsb
    8cold one riders
    2 full units of skirmishing skinks
    one unit of 12 skink warriors


    Empire list

    Group of 8 knights
    block of i believe 15 greatswords
    big block of halberdiers with wizard and sigmarite and bsb
    5skirmishing bowmen
    1cannon


    First game of fantasy but it worked out much better then i expected. Cold ones and knights hit 1st turn and ground all the way through the game

    Skirmishing skinks took out the great cannon by 3rd turn after loosing a few

    Saurus met the greatswords head on and were able to eat through them witch suprised me alot.

    Temple guard with bsb ran straight up the middle and charged into the halberdiers while the oldblood went to help the saurus with the greatswords.

    The skink block crushed the skirmishing bowmen and after that helped out the temple guard by hitting the flank of the halberdiers and getting in quite a few wounds

    The game ended with my bsb striking down his bsb and the halberds broke while the greatswords were killed to the last man in a valiant last stand to defend the flank of the knights that were still tied up with the cold ones while the skinks checked out the cannon on the far edge of the board

    Haha...it's a pretty funny thing when Skink Cohorts "crush" anything!

    Well done! And those humies thought they could take on our scaly soldiers...silly of them.

    Congratulation on the win. It sounds like you coordinated your forces well.

    By Sigmarite I'm guessing you mean warpriest?

    I think you had a small handicap in your favor. I believe Empire armies are a little on the weak side in low point games since they rely on their buffing units and they can't fit a lot of those in smaller games.

    I think i got lucky too. If i hadnt gotten the charge against hia knights id bet they wojlda rolled over my cold ones with their lances and they woulda hit me in the flank all the way down :walkingdead:
