Roll off: Plague Marines win the roll off and deploy, toe on the line with everything other than a singular melta wielding unit of Plagos who sit on the home objective in the bottom left corner of Sector 2, well within the confines of cover.
The
DE deploy several inches back from the center sphere, in Sector 5, in preparation to receive the marines and then steal the initiative by utilizing kung fu treachery!
TURN1:
DE: His army surges forward just a bit and unleashes a wave of dark light and splinter weapons upon the Plague Gods forces. As the dust settles a singular daemonically possessed Vindicator explodes into a plume or ichor ridden putrescence and spatters the streets of this ruined city. Further, his splinter weapons managed to find the soft creases in a Daemon Princes armored shell, his intestines spilling unto the buildings plascrete floors.
PM: One Prince and a unit of plasma wielding Marines heads upwards into sector 3, going around or through wrecked vehicles and ruins, plowing their way towards the
DE's core objective. The second unit or plasma marines drives straight into the building in sector 7 leaving nothing but slimy, gibbering, nurglings in their wake. The filth soaked rhino opened its doors and released its wicked payload. The wails of a thousand souls could be heard echoing in the ruins as the plague marines plasma coils burst into life. The Vindicators maneuver into better positions in sector 4 and 7, plowing through buildings as their fanged dozer blades ate through the ceramite walls. The other Prince flew nearly into sector 6 on an angry war path. Only the Vindicators managed to be in range, their cannons roaring like hungry daemons as their devastating shells immobilized one Ravager and blew the cannon off another, rattling its crew severely.
TURN2:
DE: Their withering souls hungering for rejuvenation, not truly ageless like the gift Grandfather Nurgle grants his children, the Dark Eldar begin their raid. Reavers dip and weave around wrecked vehicles and through open windows arriving wildly into sector 6. The majority of his vehicles stay in sector 5 moving forward cautiously. But, they unleash a brutal wall of fire that sees the Prince in Sector 6 riddled with splinter fire, collapsed into a pool of his own pestilent fluids, the rhino in sector 7 wrecked, little nurglings fleeing for the darkest corners of the room while laughing maniacally, and yet another Vindicator annihilated by dark light weaponry.
PM: The Prince and a rhino filled with marines moves deeper into sector 3, nearly half way to its objective in sector 5. The Marines in sector 7 moves closer to sector 5. The last Vindicator rolls through the ruins in sector 7, it's daemonic sentience acknowledging that cover is a good thing.
Let the vengeance begin. The Marines in sector 7 raise their plasma and bolter weapons and burn through a Venom transport in sector 3. The Vindicators howling cannon of doom stuns a Ravager while a lucky glancing shot sees a singular cannon blown off of another.
TURN3:
DE: The Reavers move into sector 4 with the other Venom and Ravager. A Raider moves into sector 3. The Dark Eldar futilely fire upon the Plague God's acolytes. Dark lances, splinter cannon, and liquifiers only manage to bring down two Plague Marines in sector 7.
PM: The marines in sector 7 advance upon the the True Born and their Haemonculi buddy. The Prince in sector 3 advances towards the raider that's just entered his territory along with the rhino. The rhino based unit opens fire on the raider in sector 3 with plasma burning a whole through its reactor, the resultant explosion kills will vile wrack. The Marines in sector 7 and the Prince in sector 3 assault and wipe out each unit they charge.
TURN4:
DE: Reavers move into sector 1. He drops a unit of wracks off and they run towards his own objective. I'm getting sleepy
Some shooting. Reavers blow up the rhino sitting on my objective in sector 2, the marines hop out all angry and stuff.
PM: Marines in sector 2 moves towards the Reavers. Marines in sector 7 move towards sector 5 as do the deamon prince and the rhino. Reavers die in a ball of rapid fire. The Vindicator knocks out another Raider. .
TURN5:
DE: Wracks pull themselves out of a crater and move towards the marines from sector 7. Venom moves towards my objective with a Ravager. The other unit of wracks makes it to his objective. The wracks near sector 7 fail to kill any marines with their liquifiers. The True Born finally take out the last Vindicator. His Wracks charge the remaining Marines from sector 7 and wipe them out.
PM: The Prince and the Rhino move into Sector 5. Marines in sector 2 pull back and hunker down on their objective. The Prince assaults and wipes out the unit of wracks on his objective.
TURN6:
DE: Some moving, all shooting does little of mention.
PM: Rhino parks on objective and troops disembark. Prince moves up to wracks. Marines blow a ravager out of the sky with rapid fire plasma action. The Prince slaughters yet another unit of Wracks in
CC. Game ends.
Outcome: Plague Marines come out on top with a major victory.
Objectives held:
DE: 0
PM: 2
Notes: It was a pretty hectic game, going back and forth, I got really tired in the middle of writing this report
but it's pretty accurate. I need to squeeze in some summoned daemons to hold objectives. In retrospect, I really could've used that extra unit of marines on the front line, and sitting in the back that way wasn't a great use of points, but a necessary one. However, they did hold their objective well enough. He spent alot of time focusing on my Vindicators which was, perhaps, not the best choice. I'm thinking preds or Oblits for next game.
