Facing almost no enemy shooting and almost nothing that can flee a charge, I leave just one warhound screen in front of the frenzied knights. I couldn't afford to let him get into that huge ruin on the west side, the three forests were going to be bad enough. I win the first turn and seriously consider giving it up, but decide to take it. He carries a somewhat Slaanesh item (Rod of Torment) while the unit carries a somewhat Tzeentch item (Banner of Wrath). On a silly note, my Nurgle Sorceror joined a Khorne unit. No quagmire, but no silly spell number 3 either. Treeman and both Alters hide in eastern forest, waywatchers scout in western forest. His dryads go in front all over with wardancers behind them towards the middle.
Horsemen to the west since they can get around the ruin. Rage knights have one guy in the second rank in the hopes that will beat off any dryad flank charge. Warriors with Sorceror and Rage knights (screened by 3 hounds) in the middle. No-banner Knights go a bit west and east. A horsemen unit goes nearby facing behind my troops to prevent waywatcher deployment. I stick one unit of dogs in the peasant farmstead. Scenario was angled deployment with extra points for the general, but it counted as pitched battle so he got a third forest.
Terrain gave me a "peasant farmstead" I put in one corner and a pond I foolishly put not in a corner.

Wardancers are the biggest no-big-tree threat, so marks of Nurgle should help there. Buboes will plink at a big tree and Quagmire might insta-kill one, so I take a level 4 Nurgle. I want to be certain he cannot spam-treesinging at me, so I need some magic defense. He has 3 characters, 2 specials, and both rares. After last game, I increased my magic item limit by 100, which helps a lot. I'm restricted to 2 characters, 250 pts of magic items (including character marks, but I can mark units at will), 3 specials, and 1 rare. Probably good for me, as Chaos Knights eat Dryads for dinner. I'm running Warriors of Chaos, my third opponent has Wood Elves, and I believe he runs lots of Dryads. David's Warhammer Battle reports are really punchy, concise and addictive to read making it easy to learn good Fantasy Battle tactics
