Bit of a story behind my vision for this list, goes something like this.
The Eldar advanced swiftly across the valley towards the legions defences, quickly recovering from the initial dissarray incurred by the sudden apearance of not only imperial forces but what would seem to be the Astartes, a foe that would give even the arrogant Eldar a moments pause. With their intellegience on an unguarded route to the rear of the enemies lines defunked they quickly sent forth their own scouts to survey the defences.
Most of the scouts did not make it back to the force, quickly coming under heavy fire as they came within sight of the earthworks, their reports were of at most a companies strength of not only Astartes...but the colors of traitor Astartes. The leader of the alien force did not dwell on this news long, things such as human allegiances an after thought to his alien mind and knowing that time was short he ordered an advance down the heart of the valley where the enemies defences were weakest.
A soft chuckle escaped the throat of Varvarus, Sergeant-Champion of the Alpha Legion, his heightened senses easily piercing the veil of night as he watched the Eldar close on his forces lines. Little did the Xenos know that hardly anyone manned the earthworks, the hastily prepared defences guarded by nothing more then scarecrows, scarecrows in mock ceramite. The only actual defences were in fact at the center of the line where they apeared weak, as the thought crossed through his mind the defenders opened fire, the hail of bullets nowhere near as awe inspiring as the volley on the Xenos scouts had been...but the gun servitors that had provided the show had been given only what ammo that could of been spared. Silently Varvarus sent a vox flicker to the leader of the defenders,Dalcium, a hand picked close combat expert of the legion. The reply was only a slight blip of static, letting him know the the Eldar were fully embattled with Dalcium, and the nine legion serfs that had been blessed with carapace armor and a few mock ceramite pieces to make them look more like the blood hungry maniacs the drugs they had been given were making them out to be.
Quickly The Sergeant sent two more static blips, one too the hidden predator tank, the man made hill it had been buried under was slightly north of the battle that was unfolding, the tank commander already locating and locking his vehicles weapons onto an advancing force of Code-named Dark Reapers. And to the Havoc heavy weapon squad that remained hidden inside the ruins of a farm house, missile launchers clutched tightly to their chests as they awaited the signal to commence the battle in earnest. Both gave the reply Varvarus had expected, they wait. The Alpha Legionaire quenched his battle lust and counted slowly in his head, the sound of battle and the building howls of the drug crazed serfs calming his senses, the plan was working. After a moment he lets loose the breath he didnt know he was holding and opened all vox channels, sending two quick blips of static to all squads before igniting his power fist and punching through the stone wall he faced.
Striding out of the small recently sealed cave came ten robed figures, the Hydra emblazoned on their tabards and all of them armed to the teeth. Varvarus walked at the head of his chosen elite, giving a nod in the direction of Valtestin, the other Sergeant-Champion having pummeled his way out of an identical cave on the other side of the narrow valley. He closed his eyes briefly as he heard the noises of the battle that was to come, the sound of the predator bursting forth from the temporary hill to send withering fire into the Reapers, the woosh of missiles as they leave their tubes to seek out the grav tanks that had become a little to bold in their assumption that anit vehicle weapons were scarce among their enemies. And of the screams of the serfs as they were compelled into a suicidal, ferocious charge towards the enemy, Dalcium herding them in the right direction. As the Sergeants eyes opened the last card was played, the earth fell away just ahead of the trenches, a small ramp being reveiled that captain Soldoten strode up, replendent in his terminator armor, his five chosen brother terminators following close on his heels and quickly adding to the fire power being thrown at the Xenos. Varvarus roared with laughter as his and Valtestin units advanced on the Xenos from both sides of the rear, a surprised unit of the rank and file Eldar unit, Guardians, turning in surprise to meet their doom. The eldar were already only a dozen steps away and as the sound of bolters and power fields activating resounded from his chosen he knew it was too late for the Xenos, the Hydra had struck with all of it's heads. The Alpha Legion counter attacked with complete surprise, a unified battle cry spilling from their lips. "For the Emperor."
There is more to explain their motivations for all this, but the battle actually hasnt happened yet, sorry for any typos, it's early in the morning and i've yet to sleep. I'll edit it tommorrow!
Enjoy Dakkites
