10 Plague Marines w/ plasma x2,
pf, Rhino
10
CSM w/ plasma x2,
pw
2x 5 Termies w/ combi-plasmas,
pf x2
3 Obliterators
CSM deployed in the center and their plan was to move forward as fast as possible to get into range with their plasma guns.
DW deployed in one corner waiting for the advance of the
CSM army.
Indeed, the
CSM army moved forward with the Nurgle Rhino along the flank.
The
DW army was able to wound the lash
DP but couldn't kill this damned beast.
The
DPs came rather close and Belial's unit got lashed forward towards the
CSM army. But they moved only 4'' and so the enemy was not in charging range.
Next the lash
DP got killed via shooting (cyclones) and the warptime
DP got charged and killed outright by Belial's unit.
The
CSM Termies were now in plasma range and opened fire.
Some Termies fell but the
DW army held their ground.
Belial and his squad got charged by one Termie unit and the
CSM squad. Another
DW Termie unit and a Tactical unit were able to help out. When the combat ended, the Tactical and some
DW Termies survived, while Belial and his squad was dead.
The other
CSM Termie squad was supported by the
PM unit that disembarked from the Rhino and took the other Assault Termie unit under fire. Shortly after, the
RW Bikers appeared and helped the remaining Termies to take down the
PM unit, Rhino, and the remaining
CSM Termies.
The enemy had two Obliterators left and the game ended after 5 turns with a difference of +700
VP's for the
DW army. Cheers!
Second game vs. Markus (Eldar)
Mission: Pitched battle, victory points.
Markus' army:
Eldrad
6 Fire Dragons incl. Exarch w/ Serpent
10 Dire Avengers w/ bladestorm, Serpent
3x 5 Pathfinders
7 outflanking Scorpions incl. Exarch
2 Fire Prisms
4 Dark Reapers incl. Exarch
The Eldar Serpents deployed on one flank, the Prisms in the center with Eldrad and the Dark Reapers in front, while the infiltrating Pathfinders spread out.
The
DW Termies advanced towards the Eldar front ranks.
Belial's unit recognized a Dark Reapers squad in front and the assault cannon took out 3 Dark Reapers. At the same time, one Prism got stunned (and the other got immobilized later on).
One Serpent moved forward and Fire Dragons disembarked firing at the closest Termie unit. Some Termie fell. Simultaneously, the Pathfinders shot the Termies. With some Termies dead, the
DW army advanced.
The Fire Dragons died and the
DW army came rather close to the Eldar front ranks. One Prism lost its cannon.
Another Serpent came close to the decimated Termies and opened fire. When the dust cleared some Termies were dead. But the army was still intact.
Simultaneously, the Scorpions charged one of the Tactical units that got decimated but stayed in
cc. An Assault Termie unit located nearby charged into the melee killing all Aspect Warriors.
Eldrad obviously had the choice to flee from the battle field by moving backward or to stay close to the front ranks. He chose the 2nd alternative.
Belial and his unit killed Eldrad and the DR Exarch. In the meanwhile the Dire Avengers got taken down.
At the other side of the board, the
RW Bikers appeared and slaughtered one Pathfinder unit.
Now the situation got grim for the Eldar army. The game ended after 5 turns with a clear victory for the
DW army.
