Black Falcons - NPC
The caped Falcon and the one with new armor dash up the hill close to the enemy.
The caped Falcon leaps on top of the Troll!
The other guy would have followed suit, but tripped and fell.
The archer combines attacks with the swordsman on the troll. Due to a bad armor roll, they deal 1HP of damage!
The troll attacks the disrupted Black Falcon, but he manages to block with his shield.
Sir Marcus confidently strides towards the Troll.
He leaps into the air and smashes it squarely in the face! -1HP
Dead, the troll collapses onto the ground, impeding ground movement for the Orks and Easterlings behind it. The caped Falcon is able to leap onto the hill again, but is disrupted.
The two remaining Falcons advance while Sir Marcus steels himself for the inevitable charge.
Vikings - GI Elijah
The skjoldbærers advance and form a perfect shield wall, readying themselves for the Uruk-hai's attack. Thror stays behind, ready to attack any foe.
Forces of Darkness - Cracjaw
The Uruk-hai and Orcs move up, keeping in formation. The ranged troops fire onto the Vikings, but all shots miss or are deflected.
Lurtz will have none of this, and charges headfirst into the skjoldbærers, disrupting two of them.
He attacks a precariously positioned Viking, but somehow doesn't slit his throat.
Thror dashes in and deals a devastating attack, wounding Lurtz badly! -2HP
Lurtz retaliates, and manages to wound Thror in return. -1HP
The Undead's right flank moves forward.
The mounted knight and hammer-wielding knight both attack a Viking, but the hammer is parried and the axe doesn't deal enough damage.
A Grim Reaper and the newly-summoned knight both attack Muradin, but fail to break through his armor.
Muradin does not, and down goes the knight!
The right flank advances as well, but the Dark Lord's bodyguards stay behind, observing the battle. The Wraith lets out an unearthly scream, which negates the White King's buff on a handful of Black Knights. (The ones closest to the wraith.)
Malum aims his staff towards Von Bragallot and mutters a dark incantation.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaks down across the cloudless sky, and strikes the clockwork goblin.
Despite having no electrical components, the goblin stops working, and falls down onto the plain.
On the other side of the battlefield, the Oliphant roars and starts charging directly at the Black Knights!
The centuaresses desperately fire their bows at the driver, but all miss.
The Oliphant attacks the cavalry, and after much dice-rolling and double-checking the rulebook, one horse and rider are completely annihilated, while the horse to the right is wounded. Whether from dumb luck or their heavy armor, the White King and his horse are completely unscathed.
The rest of the Easterlings advance, with the halberdiers ready for the Black Knight's charge.
Huang Lu throws his helmet and decapitates a Black Falcon!
The Orks attack Sir Marcus, but he swings first, hitting one right in the chest.
The officer and another Ork attack Sir Marcus, but his armor protects him.
Deciding it's time to act, Cedric sprints at Sir Marcus. Although I didn't get a picture of it, Cedric knocks Sir Marcus to the ground and then attacks him, but fails. (Also, I had the two spear-wielding Orks attack the disrupted Falcon in front of the Troll, but both of their attacks failed.)
The Bulls follow after Cedric, with one climbing up on the hill and murdering the caped Falcon.
Black Knights - Archduke
The heavy cavalry ignore the Oliphant, and charge into the exposed Undead Lines.
On the right side, one halberdier is slain while the yellow-plumed knight fails his attack. The Easterling counters, but doesn't overcome his armor.
On the left side, the White King smashes into the Undead's flank, destroying three skeletons.
And then he draws his sword and decapitates the left flank's necromancer. (Side Note: since he is missing his head, this necromancer cannot be raised be another necromancer. Only a successful heroic feat from the Dark Lord will suffice.)
Another mounted knight charges in, murdering two more skeletons.
The final remaining heavy cavalry gallops at the mounted skeleton, and manages to knock it off it's horse, but not kill it.
The crossbow skeleton and two melee skeletons attack the White King, but his armor holds.
In the meantime, all of the swordsmen advance through the center to aid their King.
On the right side, a assortment of spearmen, knights and halberdiers advance.
Behind them, all of the crossbowmen and archers concentrate fire onto the Oliphant's occupants.
Resulting in three casualties. (The driver is killed, which means if someone isn't controlling the Oliphant at the start of the Undead's next turn, the Oliphant will wildly move in a random direction.)
The troops then continue their journey towards the high ground.
On the far left flank, a few spearmen, a knight and a halberdier move up to engage the Undead's right flank.
A few more troops split off to aid the Vikings, who will get overrun without any reinforcements.
The Black Knight's advancement triggers the Bulls to fire their catapult. The stone lands true, glancing off of a heavy cavalry's helmet, but somehow doesn't kill him.
Von Bragallot - Bragallot
Wilhelm comes up with a crazy idea of building a device to launch his grenades at the enemy, but quickly dismisses it, since he didn't bring any spare parts with him.
He sprints forward after grabbing his disabled goblin.
He then chucks it at the Uruk-hai!
'clunk' The goblin lands right smack in the middle of them.
Von Brag produces a grenade and proceeds to throw it at the Uruk-hai. I think you all can guess where this is going...
VA-BOOOOOM!!!
Bonus pic.
Four Orcs are killed, and three more are disrupted.
Centauresses - StrongCoffee
Eyana: "Come on! Hop on my back and we'll both attack the worm Cedric!"
Sir Darius: "Sound good to me!"
Eyana attacks Cedric with her staff, but Sir Darius fails to make his sword connect. The damage isn't enough to harm Cedric.
The Centauresses all scramble onto the hill.
The Three Heroes - NPC
Muradin slashes at the Grim Reaper that attacked him, and with an unearthly howl it disappears, leaving only it's scythe behind.
Sir John runs forward and takes down two skeletons with a swing of his halberd.
Then he kills another one with a downward slash.
The necromancer springs into action, and tries to revive a fallen skeleton.
After rolling 2 critical successes, and a 4, he basically undoes all that Sir John accomplished.
Lillian wedges herself in between some trees and aims her bow...
'Thwack!' A perfect shot hits the necromancer right in the chest.
But of course, the other necromancer succeeds in revive him.
