DE turn 1 (victory sign by DF)
Everything of the DE move forward, the death star flank by 2 hydras, a 5x1 cold-ones and two 5x1 dark riders on the extreme flanks. The Rxb on hill and the 5x1 dark riders on right flank fire their missile but all miss. The dark riders on the left flank hit and wound a wardancer killing it.

Treeman ancient and 5x1 wild-riders move to prepare for next turn overrun by the DE deathstar. 3x1 warhawk riders fly to the right flank hill to get some shots in. 5x1 glade riders move to the right flank to prepare for some flank charge. (The bsb and spellsinger are too heavy to stand on the hill so they are place down.)
WE magic phase. lvl 2 spellsinger casting Ariel blessing on treekin unit but the sly DE had ring of hotek in the deathstar, rolling double 2s and 1 the spell miscast... rolling 10 on miscast table, wounded by the str 8 hit and dropping to lvl 1 and losing Ariel blessing... bad start for WE.
10 glade guards together with alter noble hail of doom arrow (8 shots) at "zebra" hydra and inflict a miserable 2 wounds. 5 glade riders, 3 warhawk rider, 6 waywatchers open up and 4 dark riders died, passing their panic. Another 10 glade guards on the left flank fired on the dark riders on the left flank and killing 2, also passing their panic.
DE turn 2.
Deathstar unit charged the treekin and catching the dryads as well, bringing all into close combat. "zebra" Hydra move closing to WE lines to spam some terror bombs.

Hydra breath caught 1 wildrider but wildrider rolling 6 for their ward save.
Darkriders multi shot killed a single glade guard.
Deathstar massive amt of firepower killed 6 dryads and 2 treekin and the champion treekin left a wound. Treeking champion allocate atk against cold-one champion and managed to kill off the deathstar unit champion. Only insane courage can save them.
With BSB nearby, the treekin rolled double 6 on their reroll breaktest and the dryads amazingly rolled insane courage for their reroll breaktest. LOL The treekin champion flee an "impressive" 4 inch... blocking my glade guard LOS next turn...
WE turn 2.
Alter noble front charged the "zebra" hydra passing his terror check this time on a 8, together with the glade riders on the flank.

Hydra rolls strike back at the wildriders inflicting 6 wounds, which the wildriders failed all their ward save.
Dryads also pass their break test and continue fighting.
Alter noble inflict 3 wounds which was easily saved by hydra regen and the glade rider fluff all their rolls but the saving grace came from the horses who inflict 1 wound on the "zebra" hydra. Left with 2 wound, the hydra bite the alter noble to death and the handlers make short work of the naked glade riders.
