2000 point allied Eldar and Imperial Guard V’s Blood Angels

MISSION TYPE: ANNIHILATION

SET UP: SPEARHEAD

After some deliberation I decided to opt for 6x4 table size for this game tbh still not sure if that wasthe correct decision.

The blood angels decided deployment zone after winning the roll off and set up first.

The marine commander having killed the renegade imperial commissar in his previous engagement

has since discovered that Titus was not acting alone and had other imperial forces including anotherlord commissar working alongside him. The librarian decides to push forward and try once more toend the now bloody rebellion that is taking place on this backwater planet. Mustering a huge force

he takes to the field hell bent on finally obliterating the renegade force which he believes to be atleast half the strength of his own force.

Marine Deployment

A full tactical squad sets up on the grounds of a ruined imperial sanctum

A full tactical squad sets up in woodland coverA devastator squad sets up on the upper level of the ruined sanctumA dreadnought is deployed behind the same copse of woods as the tactical'sA whirlwind also deploys behind those treesFull assault squad begins at the side of those woods with a librarian and a priestA razorback takes up position beside the hill which holds the ruined sanctumLeaving one unit in reserve outflanking and one unit in reserve deep striking.



Lord Commissar Eskavian has been in secret talks with an Eldar Farseer who ’s name roughly

translates as scathing vengeance, through judicious use of the imperial archives Eskavian has learntthat this Blood Angel librarian had been in a previous conflict with scathing vengeance and isbelieved to have stolen Eldar relics from the battle site using captured communications arrays

Eskavian got word to scathing vengeance and he has led a small but powerful force to the planet toexact revenge.

Under the eyes of the marines and to their surprise 2 units of wraith guard, 2 wraith lords andscathing vengeance shimmer onto the field of battle arrayed in a wedge formation ready to pushforward into the hated marines, on the fire side of the battle field a leman Russ battle tank and avendetta gunship deploy ready to give supporting fire to their new allies. As the marines take in thisshocking turn of events their scanners pick up a unit of Eldar Rangers emerging from cover amongst

ruins to their left plus a unit of pathfinders in the ruins before them, shortly after that they noticethe renegade ratlings a 5 man unit in the ruins of a space craft in front of them and a nine mansquad in woodland on a hill ahead and to their right.In reserve the imperial forces have two tactical squads in chimera one of which carries Eskavian anda bane wolf.

The Eldar try and steal the initiative but the marines recover quickly and deny them the chance.

Marine turn one

The razorback tears round the back of the hill as the dreadnought strides out from behind the coverof the trees. The assault squad powers back behind the hill leaving the priest to join the tacticalsquad in the woodland.



The whirlwind launches an inferno round high into the air at the nine man Ratling squad it deviatesslightly but as the smoke clears the squad finds itself down to only six men. The dreadnoughtunleashes a salvo at one of the wraith lords but the shots just ping off its armour. Shots pelt into oneof the wraith guard units from the tactical marines in the woods the bolters have no effect but thelascannon and two plasma shots do destroy two of the Eldar. Bolter fire rains down on the Ratling

squad in the woods but they are in good cover and don’t suffer further casualties finally while theassault squad runs further behind the hill the devastators heavy weapons open fire on a wraith lordbut the missile is deflected away.

Allied turn one

The full might of the Eldar battle wedge moves forwards as one. The leman Russ repositions itself slightly. Not content with the distance to the enemy one of the wraith guard units runs forwards.

One of the wraith lords opens fire with its lance weapon at the dreadnought but fails to inflict anydamage, seeing this the vendetta gunship piles lascannon fire into the same target this time shakingthe war machine. The second wraith lord and the wraith guard open fire on the tactical squad on thehill but fail to produce a single casualty. The ranger squad begin sniping the same squad killing oneand amid the confusion of the shots the unit becomes pinned. Hoping for a similar result thepathfinders carefully target the devastator squad but the cover is too good. With a loud whoompand a louder explosion the Leman Russ fires its battle cannon into the assault squad killing 5. BothRatling squads target the devastators killing one but they stand firm. As the allies stop firing theassault squad fall back.

Marine turn two



A Baal predator outflanks the imperial forces from reserve coming up behind both the vendetta andthe leman Russ. A full death company descends like angels from above behind the Eldar battlewedge. Knowing it cannot return any fire the dreadnought moves back into the cover of the woods,the assault squad immediately regains its composure and moves slightly. The razorback drivesforward round the hill to try and get a better arc of fire. The tactical squad on the hill move out of

cover towards the closest Ratling squad and instead of firing they push on with a steady combat jog.Not wanting to be caught bunched up from their deep strike the death company also run. Thewhirlwind launches a shell high into the air at the pathfinder squad but the crew have loaded thewrong round into the breach and the cover takes most of the force out of the explosion killing onlyone of the feared snipers. Seeing the death company land amongst the Eldar the devastator squadtries to even up the numbers by firing into the already depleted wraith guard unit the combinedplasma cannon and missile fire is just too much and the Eldar unit is destroyed completely.Lascannon fire streaks from the razorback into one of the wraith lords the shot hits squarely and thewraith lord takes a wound. The outflanking Baal opens fire on the back of the vendetta immobilisingit and shaking the crew. Trying to regain position on the field the assault squad runs.



Allies turn 2

Hoping to take out the Baal predator it had been stalking the bane wolf joins the battle from reserve.The wounded wraith lord having lost contact with his farseer cannot distinguish reality from thewraiths it sees and can take no action. The wraith guard and farseer move slightly to get better shotsat the death company. The pathfinder squad snipes at the devastators again but seeing a squad of wraith guard and a warlock die before them puts of their aim and every shot misses. The Ratlingsquad on the destroyed ship spot a priest on the hill by the sanctum 3 shots ricochet of his sturdymarine armour doing him no harm. The second Ratling squad targets the devastators in their high upfiring position but they fail to cause a single casualty. The ranger squad puts its shots into the sametactical squad as before again killing one and pinning the squad. Hoping for a lucky hit thecommander of the bane wolf triggers the multi melta at the Baal but the shot goes wild. Next thefarseer targets the death company but fails to damage them. From beside the farseer the wraithguard and warlock unleash a mighty storm of fire the death company go to ground but four of theirnumber will never be getting up. The wraith lord also targets the death company with his brightlance hitting and killing the reclusiarch. Ignoring the Baal the leman Russ targets the devastatorswith its battle cannon but the shot deviates and only manages to kill 4 tactical marines. Not wantingto give the death company a chance to regroup from going to ground the wraith guard, farseer andwraith lord charge into hand to hand combat, the fight is a bloody affair but the Eldar come out thevictors having killed four marines and losing only two but the death company are fearless so theydon’t run but they do lose another man whilst holding their ground.

Marine turn three

The dreadnought emerges from cover having repaired the targeting fault he had earlier as theassault marines jump out into the battle field towards the ratlings on the downed ship. The



razorback repositions itself slightly whilst the priest on the hill hurries through the sanctum door andout of sight. Whilst the tactical squad in the open move closer to the ratlings in the woods, The Baalrev ’s its engines hoping for a massive move but throws a track as it hits the roots on one of the treesimmobilising it.The whirlwind again targets the pathfinders but the shot deviates wildly hitting nothing, the

dreadnought opens fire on the wraith lord but its armour proves too much and the shot bounces of harmlessly. Hoping for a better outcome than that of the dread the razorback also targets the wraithlord again causing a wound but not enough to kill it. The assault squad run closing the distance ontheir target. The tactical squad opens fire on the ratlings with bolt pistols and the ratlings go toground suffering no casualties but the marines are not finished and as they throw frag grenades intothe cover they charge in cutting down two ratlings without losing a man not known for their braverythe ratlings turn and run and are promptly cut down from behind. On the other side of the battlefield the wraith lord casually crushes the remaining death company marine.

Allies turn 3Veteran squad one in its chimera trundles onto the board behind the cover the marines just tookfrom the ratlings. The wounded wraith lord pulls back towards the Baal and the remaining Eldarforces move across the board slightly gaining ground trying to bring the marines into range.The wraith lord targets the tacti cal’s in the woods killing one easily. The warlock hurls his singingspear at the Baal predator but it gets deflected by cover, the second wraith lord aims up on thedreadnought but misses. The battle cannon roars again this time sending the shell against therazorback hitting and stunning it, the shell also kills two tactical marines who were taking cover inthe woods. The pathfinder squad having got over their earlier dismay snipe into the devastatorskilling one and pinning the squad. More sniper shots ring out as the rangers and the remainingratlings target the tactical squad in the woods the rangers have no luck but the ratlings kill three

although they fail to pin the target. Lascannon fire bursts from the vendetta into the dreadnought allhitting and the war machine explodes leaving a smoking crater where it once stood. Flames gush out



from the chimera into the tactical marines that now hold the position the ratlings had but fail to killany however the veterans inside have a little more luck and melta gun fire drops one of the marines.

Marine turn four

The tactical marines on the allied side of the field move through cover towards the chimera and theassault squad moves ever closer to the ratlings before opening fire with flamers and melta weaponsonce the smoke clears only two of the ratlings remain. The turret on the Baal swings round and itlaunches a fusillade into the vendetta all hitting but failing to penetrate its armour. The remainingtactical squad in the woodland fires a lascannon shot at the wraith lord but miss it entirely. With abellow the tactical squad charge into the chimera stunning its crew. Discretion being the better partof valour the ratlings turn tail and run.

Allies turn four

Veteran squad beta joins the fight in their chimera coming onto the table with the goal of assistingtheir fellow veterans. The bane wolf guns its engines and moves across the table hoping to get intorange of the remaining assault squad before they roll down the flank. Veteran squad alphadisembarks from its chimera and moves to take aim on the tactical squad which is trying to blow uptheir transport. Both wraith lords move one heads closer to the enemy tank on the far side of thefield whilst the other moves into area terrain towards the immobile Baal. The wraith lord on the hillfires at the whirlwind but misses, again lascannon fire streaks from the vendetta gunship this time atthe whirlwind two solid hits cause it to be immobilised and its turret weapon id destroyed. Therangers on the hill top ruin fire at the remaining tactical’s in the woods but fail to cause casualtieswhilst the pathfinders shoot at the ever closing assault marines killing one but failing to pin them inplace. The battle cannon launches its shell at the devastators but the shot deviates behind thesanctum and is ineffective. Multi melta fire streams from the bane wolf at the assault squad but thecover absorbs it. Veteran squad alpha opens fire on the tactical’s scything down 5 of their number.



Chimera beta ’s multi laser arcs into the assault marines but fails to kill any whilst the troops onboard target the remaining tactical marine as he tries to take cover behind the other chimera killinghim. The wraith lord charges into the Baal and its monstrous hands rip it to shreds leaving nothingbut a smoking crater.

Marine turn 5

The assault marines move forward towards the pathfinders and open fire with flamers and otherweapons killing them all. The tactical marine in the woods opens fire with his lascannon at the banewolf his shot penetrates and stuns the vehicles crew. With a furious volley of precision fire fromplasma cannons and frag grenades the devastators kill the whole of veteran squad alpha leaving onlyEskavian standing.

Allies turn 5

The leman Russ moves forwards as do both chimeras whilst Eskavian moves into hard cover out of sight of the enemy. The wraith lord and wraith guard move forward as does the farseer. The rangerstarget the priest killing him whilst the wraith guards shots finish of the rest of the tactical squad. Onewraith lord fires at the assault squad killing 2 of their number. The other wraith lord fires at thedamaged whirlwind destroying its storm bolter. Chimera beta and its veteran passengers fire at theassault squad but manage to not wound anything. The battle cannon drops a shell onto the assaultsquad but the cover soaks up the shrapnel leaving them un harmed. Lascannon fire again arcs fromthe vendetta into the whirlwind and the sheer amount of damage it has sustained finally destroys it.



At battles end the score stood 7kill points to 6 in the ally’s favour, the Eldar farseer scathingvengeance believing that for now honour has been satisfied has collected his dead and left planet.The blood angels have pulled back to regroup and await reinforcements while Eskavian has won aminor victory and will be drawing more troops to his rebellious cause hoping that he can drive themarines away and with them any control by the Imperium leaving the planet to be self governingwith no outside interference....
