Terrain
Nothing much in this department, but there were five stands of trees / thickets designed to mask the amassing Bretonnian ambushing party. Thus, the trees were placed along the lines of the Bretonnian deploymnt zone on either side to create a sense of a sort of channel through which the Chaos troops were advancing. (The table measured 6' x 4').

Deployment
The Chaos army was deployed in a strong, box-shaped formation with the HellCannon in the center, the Lord immediately to its front, the Sorceror to it's rear. In each of the four corners was a unit of Chaos Knights: top left was CK.1, lower left was CK.2, and lower right was CK.3. The Chosen Knights (CKC) were placed in the top right corner. All units faced the front, ie. the Lords' position.

The Bretonnian opted to divide his forces as per the rules, but to the best possible chance of survivng long enough to inflict some loss on the Chaos column. On the left side of the Chaos mass was EK.A (slightly to the rear and well to the left of CK.1; while the Bretonnian Paladin General positioned himself at the head of the KoR unit to the left and rear of CK.2. On the right side, the QK unit set up facing the right flank of CKC; EK.2 aligned itself in between the right flanks of CKC (it was not known at this time that this Chaos unit was a "Chosen" unit) and CK.3; while the last unit, EK.3 set up on the right flank of CK.3.
