Turn 1
Eldar take the first turn. Infiltrating Kroot and Stealthsuits prime up to attempt and wipe out all hopes of a succesful dark Waaagh! in the first turn. Kroot make it into the bunker, the 3+ cover save will surely make them more than worth their cost. The tau commander smiles. The skimmer with Eldrid and Banshees moves toward the wrecked dreadnought with the technology the Eldar teams are hoping to capture. The orks have hold of it at the moment. Big Mek Killikutty wants the parts. He has his Kan, Grey Blasta, standing infront of the small shoota squad guarding it.
Markerlights fly from the Tau units. One lights up the raider carrying the Archon. Another can't make
LoS with the KilliKutti's trukk but he swares he saw it. The venom with the incubi gets lit up with a marker as does the ever-cocky Ork Warbikers and their nob. The Tau commander takes a breath, as if fresh air has found its way into his thick battlesuit.
The sound of dakka marks the begining of battle.
Bikers get hit hard from the Kroot's rapid-fire, 2 boyz fall, the nob is killed by an Eldar Shuriken cannon. 'The Fairy' grows ever confident. *Colorful guardian in the squad*
Shoota boyz at he objective go to ground after fire warriors realize they no longer need to unload on the bikes, the commander joins the fire against them hoping to take the troops off the objective in the first turn. All the shots only pick off 1 of the 10 shootas.
Grey Blasta the kan with the megablasta gets hit by the skimmer with everything it has, and looses his blasta. He no longer knows himself.
Proxied Venom is immobilized by a seeker missile, it is now as useless as the scenery. The Raiders sleek form makes it to hard for the missile fired at it to make a direct hit it seems, it endures the round of fire without a scratch.
The heaviest dakka on the board, the allmighty rail-gun, blasts into the void. Somewhere a puppy dies.
Orks and Dark Eldar advance.
Grey moves toward the serpen that shot outs his mega-blasta in rage. Incubi disembark Venom and move toward Kroot. The Raider flats-out stoping next to the kroot. The alien chicken men swallow their gullets.
Killikutty and his trukk move toward forest with two kans marching around it. Reaver jetbikes go supersonic right through the Kroot landing in front of the Guardians and the fire warriors, killing 4 KROOT. Ork Artillery remains stationary...
Incubi run toward the Kroot as the limbs land. Artillery can't make sight on the stealthsuits due to their cloaking. Dark lance attmepting to shoot at the Serpent is out of range. Boyz in the trukk unload wild big shoota dakka and kill a sinlge guardian on the Fairy's Shuriken Cannon team. The 2 kans around the trukk run toward the forest. Blast runs a whole inch, depression setting in on the poor kan and his gunless arm. "Can I even be calle'd da Grey Blasta anymorez?"
Fleet of foot Incubi slaughter the entire Kroot regime remaining and seem impowered by the pain after a nasty sweeping advance is made.
Though the Kroot were lost, the Eldar and Tau feel it was in their favor, an active first turn of battle ends.
TURN 2
The Serpent pretends to be intimidated by Grey Blastas one inch run, and takes off behind a wall.
Stalthsuits jump in closer to get some good shots.
Quickly the Tau and Eldar lines unload shots into the Reavers. An entire army of fire falls into the unit, and the Arena Champion stats cackling like a Mad Dok.
No droid marker lights touch them, but marker lights from the stealth sqaud shine on them, and the bike with a blasta falls to an Ap1 melta the suits carry to remind enemies what exactly Tau technology is capable of.
Jonas brought back to life as usual by Eldrad after his last noble effort against Killikutty is looking as confident as ever. He takes his dire avengers and bladestorm the incubi much to the surprise of the other units who were hoping he'd fire into the Reavers. "I kill only what looks tough enough to kill me," He laughs at the Tau commander who dissagrees with his tactic. The Eldar commander to far away to give orders to his troops without knowledge of the disobediance. Two of the Pain Ignoring Incubi fall dead to the fire of Jonas and his Avengers. "They felt that," He lowers his guns to cool them down.
Fire continues on the Reavers. Fire warriors from both flanks shoot in. The right flank hits nothing but metal bits. Left wing use the marker light to their advantage as the Arena Champion pops another bottle of pills. The Tau commander and his battlesuit fire with this group of
FW's as usual. The Cluster Caltrops Reaver is blown to bits next to the Arena Champion who continues to laugh even louder. The bikes have not been detered.
The Hammerhead hears the call of the Tau commander, and using a marker light placed by the
FW during hteir shooting, blasts the Reavers right back to hell. The Arena Champion, some how lives without a scratch, and that sickening laugh continues to strike fear into the Tau lines.
The Fairy and his Guardians won't let the Tau Commander give them orders if Yonas can choose his targets, they ignore the Arena Champion and fire into the Incubi, they do nothing. However, something about Jonas's stare, his aim, his lack of fear whilst faced with them, makes the Incubi run. They've heard of Jonas and his Dire Avengers perhaps.
Somewhere on the far end the Serpent remembers their goal, the objective held by the orks now, and shoots at Grey Blasta only shaking the Killa Kan. The fact he has no gun to shoot only enrages him more.
The Orks move.
Incubi quickly regroup,and move toward the Fire Warriors and Battlesuit. The Warriors of the Dark Eldar in the far back move slowly toward the orks to help guard the objective.
Blasta moves back to the objective as well, convinced chasing the Serpent is a ploy by the Archon's echoing yells. Killikutty could care less either way, and moves his trukk around the forest toward the busted objective of the Eldar and Tau. Holding more parts for his playing. The kans around him follow, well within the
KFF. The warriors and Archon Disembark from the Raider.
The drugged up Arena Champion looks into guardians in front of him and smiles, ready for more combat. Ork Artillery remains staionary...
Dark lance misses serpent. Kans around the trukk kill 4 FireWarrios with Rokkit Launcha and Grotzooka. Trukk and embarked big shoota kill one more guardian. Big shoota in shoota squad fires into the fray but hits only the frays air. Warriors w/Archon fire into
FW's and kill nothing.
An Earthquake nearly wipes out the right field.
Arena Champion charges the Guardians. Warriors and Archon charge the FireWarriors and Tau Commander. Three Fire Warriors fall in assault. A Shield dron gets kill by a doped up warrior, but debate ensues amongst the field. The Archon drives his blade into the Tau commander through the battlesuit, and drains his very soul. "That's for the puppy," the Archon's affinity for dogs strikes the Tau commander as odd, wishing he could think of something else during his last moments alive, but it's not meant to be.
The Dark Waaagh! seems as if it can not be stopped now. Not a single Warrior falls. The Fire Warriors run and are cut down from behind with ease. They move a whole 6 inches in consolidation and the stealth suits no, there will be no jumping after next turn, their time is limited.
The Arena Champion so hyped up, charges the guardians and hits only the wind around his head. He dies laughing and the guardians aim their guns at the warriors with a false sense of confidence. "Come on," says the Fairy.
TURN 3
No fortune for Eldrid. The Tau move toward the Archons pain powered warriors. The sound of dakka plays the chorus of war once again.
Two marker lights shine on the Archon and his warriors.
"You need to stop them now!" Jonas yells out as he gathers his Dire Avengers and tries to get their guns ready for the coming wave. Looking at the wounded fire warriors behind him he knows more problems are coming. No Commander remaining, the Tau listen to the veteran Eldar.
Four of the Archons warriors die from stealthsuit fire. They seem unaffected by the looss. (They have 2 pain tokens.) The Guardians take shots, three more fall. The Archon gets a little frustrated. Fire Warriors have their chance to finish the job, utilizing a markerlight, they can't get a shot through their own troops. Jonas peers back at them in disgust. "You may have doomed us all."
The hammerhead doesn't care of the chance, it feels confident, however it only kills off one more warrior.The Archon and his doped up Warrior remain alone, still ever fearless.
On the far end the smaller battle continues, the Serpent unable to lay the Kan to rest. Blasta gets immobilized by fire and the grot riggers prepare to jump out and make sure that doesn't last long.
The foolish Fairy leads the Guardians and charges the Archon and his one Warrior. "We'll put these Dark Eldar in their place."
"Fools," The Archon again feels joy return to him.
Three guardians die right away. The Fairy in a valiant effort manages to scratch the archon, at the sight of his inability to do more than flesh wound the foe before him, he shows his true colors and runs with the remaining Guardians, they are all cut down by the Archon and his right hand Warrior. Pain embodies the two of them as never before.
"I am the very spirit of Khane," The Archon roars and consolidates towrd the hammerhead another 6 inches.
The Dark Waaagh! moves onward.
The ork foce moves toward the hammerhead completely, the warriors in the back get closer to the shooters trying to help, Grey Blasta deermingly looks on, gaining focus. The Raider tries to get in range of the Serpent. Archon moves toward the hammerhead even closer now. Ork Artillery remains stationary...
Kans with the trukk fail to make hits on the
FW line. But the big shoota on and in the trukk, unload on the
FW line, make four hits against the four remaining models, four wounds, and all four of the Fire Warriors die.Lancer again misses the Serpent. Grot riggers can't get Blasta moving. Artillery kills two of the Dire Avengers, and Jonas knows what is coming. Archon charges the stealth suit with his follower, they kill the droids, but the suits don't run like the others. Archon glares a sign of respect in their direction. They could care less.
TURN 4
Banshees are fortuned, the shootas are doomed, it seems ironic to them at the most.
The hammerhead moves away from the stealthsuit Archon battle hoping to not get charged. The Exarch Jonas leads his Dire Avengers out of
LoS of the ork Artillery.
Firing begins. Only two shootas fall, but they've been wittled. They don't run, doomed or not, they hold the objective.
Jonas the Exarch and his boys see a target in their cover, the Raider. A Bladestorm leaves it immobilized. "But will we have need for our guns the following turn I wonder..." Jonas doesn't like the look or feel of his surroundings.
The Hammerhead, the last of the Tau units, shakes up the Kan known as Smiley. It has little effect on the moving units.
The Archon finishes off the stealthsuits in the assault with his lackey and they consolidate a good amount of inches again towards the Hammerhead. It knows it has little chance of survival now.
The ork trukk with Killikutty and his 'ard boyz and
PK nob rush toward the Hammerhead and disembark. The two kans make it behind the Dire Avengers. Jonas, gleems backwards, and hopes he somehow survives this. No shots hurt the Avengers or the Hammerhead. The Archon well in range to charge. Ork Artillery remains stationary...
The Archon and the orks charge the Hammerhead. One hard boy dies from the Hammerheads defenses, and the ARchon makes a save. He swings first and destroys it. Killikutty angry he didn't get the honor after such a long haul, stares at the Archon. Surely this alliance won't last long. Blasta's grot riggers repaired his legs but he can do nothing yet. The other Kans only kill one Avenger, and Jonas won't let them flee. "We have to hold this objective and hope the Banshees reach theirs, or there is no hope! Hold!" With nochance to even dent the kans, the Dire Avengers follow their Exarch to imminent death.
(What happened to the incubi??? A mystery indeed. Maybe the Guardians killed them, no one can recall, perhaps they felt they were no longer needed.)
TURN 5
Shootas are doomed again, Banshees are fortuned, the Serpent flat-outs but fails it's tank shock on the shootas.No shots fired.
Dire Avengers are slaughtered by the kans. Lingering life remains in Jonas, but he won't let it be seen, to raise his hand or open his eyes now would surely mean his end. He will get his vengeance on Killikutty one day. For now he must be as dead as his men.
Boyz and Big Mek Kutty get into the trukk and capture the Eldar/Tau objective. Ork Artillery...remains...stationary...
The sounds of battle are few now. But one thing must be done.
Grey Blasta Finally charges the Serpent. No greater joy has the ork inside this Kan ever felt. This is revenge cold and sweet. He smashes it open, killing a banshee inside. Giving Eldrid a wound. All hope for the Tau/Eldar's victory died with the Avengers, and retaliation died here.
But Eldrid wants blood for blood. Another turn is rolled for the hell of it.
TURN 6
Eldrid and the Banshees assault. Eldrid kills all the remaining shootas himself in a sweeping advance as they run at the glowing weapons and the way their big shoota fell. The warriors who were helping guard the objective are obliterated by the Banshees. But the future is obvious, as Eldrid glares behind in response to his choice. The angry Blasta, will have a leaders head mounted on his Kans hull come this time tomorrow. This Dark Waaagh! has been a complete success.
