    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Tehe-Xili and Hellstorm stared at each other in disbelief, they were mortal enemies, as were much of the skaven and lizardmen presant, but it appeared the orcs and tomb kings had gotten over there old hatred for the time being, they had brought a massive army, and only the combined might of the lizardmen and rat-kin
    could stop it.

    Turn 1 TK/Orcs

    The skink priest watched as the enemy horde rushed towards him, taking particular note of the carrion heading his way and the goblin archers, doom diver, black orcs, and goblin spearman that were staying put. Not having enough power conserved to stop the magical onslaught of the enemy, he reads a scroll and no spells make it through. He watches as the doom diver narrowly misses the stegadon, landing with a splat further behind the beast.

    Lizards and Rats
    Ordering his unit to withdraw for the time, and generously advising his adversary Hellstorm to do the same, he retreats far enough away so that the carrion would no longer be a threat. On the right flank he watches as Kai-Tli orders his saurus to march forward, with the javelin wielding skinks to his right and Kai-Lot-Tli and his stegadon keeping pace on the left. The skaven advance similarily, but being a bit more cautious, especially the spear wielding rats where Hellstorm was, choosing not to move at all. Tehe-Xili's attempt at a spell was dispelled, but this distracted the enemy mages and a warp-lightning blast from Hellstorm burnt a few spider riders to a crisp and caused them to panic, while Tehe-Xili stores his magical enemy into the diadem, to protect against any magical counter attacks.

    Turn 2 Orcs/TK
    As most of the army continues to move up, Tehe-Xili watches the carrion burst out of the ruins only to land directly infront of Hellstorms unit with the horseman following behind. The spider riders rally and once more face there enemies while all magic is dispelled. The goblin doom diver crew start thinking straighter and to Tehe-Xili's great delight, they kill three plague monks.

    Rats and Lizards
    Seeing the carrion so close, Hellstorm fled to the back of his unit and Ripfang ordered the giant rats to charge into the carrion, and Tehe-Xili watches the cloaked Night Runners running up the left flank towards the enemies war machines, while staying away from the spider riders and teh temple guard slowly advanced. On the right flank the skink priest sees Kai-Lot-Tli and his stegadon charge into the enemy chariots with a fearsome roar. Once again he was dispelled. Meanwhile the ratling gun poored warpstone bullets into the rats and the carrion, killing a carrion and 4 of the rats. The combat infront of Tehe-Xili went extremely well, as the rats chewed on the carrion with ease. Another bright occurence on the left flank was that Kai-Lot-Tli smashed through all three of the chariots, continuing until he was right infront of the tomb princes` skeletons and leaving a pile of broken bones in his wake.

    Turn 3 TK and Orcs
    As the princes` unit charges into the stegadon, losing 4 to a hail of blowpipes and javelins, Tehe-Xili watches as a surge of waagh energy allows the goblin spider riders to charge at the night runners and the skeleton horseman charge into the giant rats, things would not go well. On the bright side, the goblin shaman waves his hands in the air, but nothing happens. He then repeatedly points at the skaven thinking the spell would go off, but alas, to the great delight of the skink priest, he had forgotten how to cast it! The skink had no time to rejoice however, as he had to take cover when a flying goblin smashed into 2 of his skinks, killing them on impact. The skeleton archers than shot into the slaves killing 3. The tomb prince jumped onto the head of the stegadon, screaming a challenge to the skink chief, who was cut down before his pet could shake off the intruder and crush several of his bones with one mighty stomp (2 wounds) before turning and fleeing from the undead assault. The giant rats were cut down in droves, and fled through the unit Hellstorm was in, who held there ground as the skeletons charged into them aswell. The night runners were slaughtered aswell, with the survivors being caught by the relentless goblins.

    Lizzies and Skaven
    Tehe-Xili watches as the fleeing stegadon immediately turns around under the cold gaze of Kai-Tli, and faces his enemies. The javeling skinks rush to the side of the tomb prince and his skeletons and the temple guard continue their advance. The victorious spider riders flee from the might of the Rat Ogres, leaving the brutes standing stupidly in the open, unsure as to what had occured. The priest watches as the cursed plague monks charged into the tomb scorpion, and once again his magic is dispelled. The clanrats close to him cut down a bunch of horsemen, losing none of their own and the plague monks manage to defeat the tomb scorpion, althought their vile leader had a serious wound from the beasts claws.

    Turn 4 Orcs and TK
    As the spider riders continue to flee, never to rally, the orcs start bashing each other`s heads for no apparent reason. The goblin spearmen move up and seeing the danger he is in the hierophant leaves his unit of archers and flies behind the goblins before casting an almighty spell that healed the prince completely. A giant spear hits a skink on top of the howdah, impaling him as a flying goblin wounds his mount. As the monks get closer the skeleton archers unleash a hail of arrows, and kill 2 of the plagued skaven even as the spear wielding clanrats strive to cut down all the remaining horsemen, leaving only one wounded liche priest.

    Lizards and Rats
    Tehe-Xili watches the giant rats behind him turn around to face their enemy again, and the frenzied plague monks charge into the archers, losing yet another to their arrows. Intent on avenging their chief, the javelin skinks and the stegadon crew invoke the name of sotek and as the stegadon charges into the prince again, the javelin skinks charge the spear wielding night goblins. The priest watches the skinks taking note of there accomplishments. Three skinks attack the battle standard bearer of the goblins, and as one is turned aside, the others jump to his sides and plunge their daggers into his neck before 4 of their comrads are cut down and they retreat towards the safety of the jungle (table edge) with the goblins close behind. The stegadon crushes 4 of the skeletons and the prince himself wounds him as the plague monks utterly destroy the skeleton archers and continue forward and clanrats finally kill the liche priest.

    Turn 5 undead and greenskins
    Tehe-Xili watches the spear skeletons charge into the flank of the plague monks, and he `fails` to dispell a spell that the goblin shaman was casting, crushing 6 slaves and sending them fleeing for their lives. He smiles with glee as the doom diver explodes and a single rat ogre falls to the ground with a giant spear in it`s face and one plague censer bearer is killed by goblin arrows. The stegadon eats two skeletons and loses 2 of its last riders. The plague monks manage to tie combat with the spear skeletons.

    Lizards and skaven
    The temple guard charge the troll while the skinks continue their flight into the jungles and the slaves flee never to rally, and as Tehe-Xili watches the plague censers charge into the exposed flank of the spear goblins, and Kai-Tli himself charges alone into the princes` unit, challenging the prince personally. The plague censers break and run down the goblins, but all eyes are on Kai-Tli and the prince. In the center of the combat the generals fight, Kai-Tli`s attacks are shrugged off by the tomb princes magical armor, before the prince brings his weapon down and wounds the old saurus. Meanwhile The stegadon eats two skeletons and loses its last rider, but the stegadon has lost it`s crew before and it is unnafected, a trait in which Tehe-Xili instantly records as the battle rages on as the troll is cut down by halberds and the temple guard overrun right infront of the spear skeletons

    Final turn TK and orcs
    The victorious spear skeletons charge into the flank of the temple guard, and the hierophant charges and scares the monks into the skeletons, who cut them down to the great delight of Tehe-Xili, but he quickly loses it when 2 of his skink comrads and another hail of arrows kills off 1 more. Sadly the temple guard cannot hold back the attack on their flank and are beaten off and caught by the elite spear skeletons, but the battle would soon turn in the lizardmen`s favour. Kai-Tli picks himself up with renewed vigour, and in a flury of blows, the cold blooded saurus smashes the tomb price with his burning blade, which quickly incinerates him as his unit crumbles into dust.

    Lizzies and Skaven
    Hellstorm returns to the front of his unit and Ripfang`s clanrats surge into the orcs. Even as the skaven attacked and Kai-Tli limped back into the safety of his unit, Tehe-Xili positioned his unit of skinks to kill the hierophant, and even as he lit up with glee when Hellstorm killed himself and 6 skeletons, he became even happier when a hail of blowdarts killed the liche priest and the ratling gun killed 4 orcs and better yet, 3 skaven. Ripfang however, was not as happy as Tehe-Xili, that warlock had cost him a fortune! Angry because of the overpriced warlock, he kills 4 orcs himself and they break and flee.

    As the lizardmen and skaven parted to either side, keeping eyes on each other the entire time, Tehe-Xili climbed atop the stegadon, eager to outfit the ancient beast with a new toy.

    Victory for the lizardmen and skaven alliance!!!!

    Most valuable lizards- Close but it was the blowpipe skinks, as they killed off a hero without giving up a single victory point.

    Most hated enemy- Damn that tomb prince

    Best ally- I`m definitely scared of those plague censers now....38 goblins at once....

    Cheers :D
