Battle report 6/8/2010 (the birthright of a ascending champion)


750pts Eldar vs 750pts Iron Warriors (Chaos Space Marines)
"The Eldar having took their other worldly possession are blindsided by chaos marines. The Iron Warriors dug in and waiting for them as they attempt to evacuate via a Webway gate"

The Eldar move over the hills towards the dug in Iron Warriors, two squads of Guardians slowly making their way to the Warrior's trenches, just behind, the sacred Webway ground, first blood to the Eldar. Farther up the trenches the Iron warriors closing ground and dig in holding the other sacred ground point, that will open up a webway for the Eldar to get the artifact through...


At the southern end of the trenches the Eldar guardians are pulling weight and slowly taking down the held-in squad of Iron Warriors, one by one they are being taken down in their own trenches, but for one Warrior, it will be a death beyond all around him.

Further north, as the Warriors squad elect to abandon the fortification they were holed up in, and move towards the gate, another squad, this time Iron Warrior Terminators DeepStrike in, On point!! to meet the advancing Eldar Striking Scorpions, hoping to secure the way. an exchange and barrage of gunfire fills the air like rain, as the armies close in.

The Warsmith exiting his vantage point slowly stalks across the trenches to the open field as first shots are exchanged by Eldar Dire Avengers as they advance north towards the objective..

Iron Warrior raptors jettison in and land on highground, a broken building overlooking the southern gate and join in the fire fight. as Eldar Swooping Hawks DeepStrike in on the southern gate point.

The Chaos Raptors switch directions and blindsided the Hawks, decimating their position, as well as their numbers, leaving the gate unclaimed.

In the north gate the striking scorpions are pushed back by the now advancing terminators, as a battle of attrition takes solid numbers on both sides, as the Exarch, sees their time here has passed, the webway lost he pulls his Dire Avengers out, giving the orders to the rest of the Eldar army. The Warsmith knows he won't be able to chase after them, and will have to be content with denying the Eldar the webway, but fuming at the loss of the artifact.

In the southern trenches, all but a single marine lay dead, claimed by the swift Guardians, as the last marine fends off two squads of Guardians, he garners the blessings of Khorne, as he slowly changes under the armour, hacking and cleaving in the melee against the Eldar, surviving all attempts to take him down. Khorne smiles as skulls pile up......

  1. That last marine in the trenches would not die, surrounded by a Farseer and storm guardians he kept picking them off. He sat there with his heavy weapon swinging like John Wayne (as Davy Crockett) at the Alamo. On that note, Remember the Alamo!!!
