The battle lines were drawn. The summoned host of lizards stood in geometrically perfect lines whilst on the other side of the small hamlet was the swirling mass of agitated beasts.
The lizards sent forth their skirmishers to slow the hordes advance and to give the howdah mounted alien weaponry on the backs of their larger monsters a chance to take a toll on the tide of chaos facing them.
With a mighty roar the Bray herd smashed through the lines of skirmishers and made for the main lines of the host of order. Beams of light scythed down scores of warriors whilst summoned comets rained down, causing fiery destruction deep within the chaos lines.
Despite this the beasts of chaos managed to meet their enemy in melee. The force of the charge alone smashed down the first 3 ranks of lizards, even before the frenzied hosts set to work with their rusted blades. The right left flank of the lizard army, centred around the villages graveyard, took the worst of the fighting and only the timely intervention of giant armoured monsters managed to turn the tide back in the favour of order. With their main lines held at bay and their best warriors still dealing with scattered skirmishers the beasts of chaos looked to their leaders only to find that the shamans and warlords had been systemically engaged and destroyed by concentrated fire and summoned flyers.
With no command left the horse of beasts started to loose what little organisation they had. The lizards took advantage of this turning of the tide and pushed the beasts back, hacking swathes of them down even as they turned to run.
The battle had been won and the victorious forces of order had kept the darkness at bay for the time being.
