The Ziggurat of Dawn

After their last defeat against the empire on the Stellar Pyramids, the skaven turn their attention to the undead, marching through the Head Monoliths of the Gods and attacking the Ziggurat of Dawn
Both forces deploy in battle line ready for a head on fight
A massive horde of undead shambles forwards through the jungle
Facing the teeming ranks of clan Mors

Seizing the first turn, the undead player routs a unit of clanrats with his vampire on winged nightmare
His wolves also smash into the rat ogres, only to be cut down
Things don't look up during the skaven turn, since the warp lightning cannon blows itself up
The clanrats with spears save the situation however, annihilating a unit of skeletons
And then smashing into the big undead blob
With their flank gone the ratmen form to hold the black knights at bay, as the necrarc vampire looms ominously on their flank
The zombies are cut down by the night runners, who appear under them after digging their way into the battlefield
Sadly the skaven general has seen enough, and routs from the field after being charged by a banshee

The last combat sees the skaven hold firm against the vampire
And wipe out a unit of skeletons plus a necromancer
The battle ends thus in a draw, a result that while not allowing the skaven to conquer land sees them retreat in good order to the Head Monoliths of the Gods
