Imperial forces deploy along the 'top' edge of the photo.
Placing the bulk of their bikes on the far right edge in a bid to snatch the objectives deep in the enemy territory.
Supporting the dash across the wasteland is a detchment of predators, 2 Shadowswords, a Bassilisk sqd and a stormhammer to protect their rear from tunnelers.
In the middle, pushing in to the town are 2 heavy infantry units, a vindicator squad and the reaver titan.
Armoured forces lead by the enigmatic Stormhammer company commander amass on the crossing opposite the Squat's fortifications hoping to survive the exposed route to smash headlong in to the defenders position, with little regard for their lives...
On the left side the remainder of the artillery company sits hidden by the tall rock formations and a shadowsword, stormhammer and heavy infantry lay in wait for any fool dwarf who wanders in to range.
The Squats dig in on the bottom left corner and present an almost impenetrable wall of fortifications, consisting of razorwire, minefields, bunkers and artillery positions.
Ghordan himself takes position in a bunker overlooking the battle field, with a feeling of safety as his Goliath Mega cannons let out a subsonic moan as they pivot into position and begin dialing in the range for the imperial lines.
Overhead the majestic Overlord airships drift forward and bring their cannons forwards.
In the eerie quite streets of Dumblebarton rhinos loaded with Squat Thunderers power forward to gain a vantage point in one of the abandoned buildings, and a company of Gyrocopters hand just out of sight, ready to support their brothers.
The ultimate terror for Markas' Imperial force sits defending the right hand river crossing, a DoomAnvil company fully stocked with missiles and void shields fully charged.
Behind them bikes and trikes rev their engines - relishing the chance to engage their imperial counterparts.

Imperial bikes dash across the river crossing and engage the squat rhinos in a bit to sieze objective 8.
overhead a detachment of gyrocopters dart between the tall buildings and begin firing at a squad of heavy infantry making a break for higher ground, one unit is gunned down.

A Predator squad tears across the rocky terrain to aid the infantry in the open and swats one of the 'copters down.
