After the defeat suffered at Breder the defenders of the Empire are back on the defence, marching south to the devastated town of Gruyden to face off a skaven horde
The crazed slayers of Karak Kadrin rush towards their foe
A teeming mass of monstruous ratmen on the far side of the field!
In two turns the dwarves close with the enemy
Suffering the first loss when a doomseker is run down by the rat ogres
On the other side of the battlefield meanwhile a swamp keeps both enemies at bay
While in the center advance Long Drong's slayers
Ratlings and jezzails open fire, but nothing scares the frenzied slayers
Who smash into the rat ogres and rout them from the field
In the center the slayers anihilate a block of slaves pursuing towards the jezzails
While one of the skaven contraption opens fire on their own!
Plage monks and pirates clash in a breif but bloody combat that sees the plague ridden rats exterminated
While a lone doomseeker charges into a block of clanrats
The pirates then smash into the plague priest unit
While a second unit of slayers kills off the jezzails
More clanrats come to the rescue of the plague monks
While on the left flank both sides become bogged down in the swamps
Not even the warp lightning cannon can turn the tide, firing wildly in a random direction and then fleeing from a doomseeker
By then all fight has gone out of the rats with the clan unit running from a doomseeker
And the left flank only held by the general and his storm vermin
Only the crazed plague monks fight on thanks to their frenzy
Both generals engage in a duel to the death
Falling the skaven warlord to the runic axe of his foe
Overpowered by the pestilens monks all pirates die, leaving Drong on top of a mound of dead ratmen
With their general gone the stormvermin are easy meat
And while Drong at last falls the battle has become a massacre or the skaven, who flee from the devastated village of Gruyden
