Hello, I have an amusing battle report concerning space marines,Dark eldar,Cadians,Eldar (hooray) and Catachans, here it is, its a bit long but I got carried away typing, not to mention I typed it a few days after the battle so I couldn't pinpoint all the turns exactly...
Battle report
eldar / space marines / dark eldar
vs
Impirail guard (cadian / catachan)
Eldar perspective...
There was much worry of the sacred runes on the new found planet (named frit) being discovered for a long while now, Farseer Tiberius of the san hiann craftworld was in charge of ensuring no non-eldar eyes would see the runes witch described the battle of a thousand swords witch took place on jred. Unfortunately for Tiberius and his loyal warlock Elron, the runes were in great danger of being discovered.
There was a massive war erupting on the surface of frit and if the shelling of the ancient site continued the runes were surely lost,Tiberius himself swore he would go and protect the runes. Elron instantly stressed that a war was going on and a contingency plan was in order.
When tibirius reached the surface he was shocked to discover the filthy dark eldar on the scene polluting the world with their mere presence, Elron raged but was eventually stopped by tibirius who had pointed out that the dark eldar were occupying the sacred site.Imperetive as it was to protect the runes the Farseer made a strange decision. He was forced to forge a tomporary alliance with those seething, treacherous, scum - The dark eldar - nearly every guardian and pilot cursed, questioning the farseer's ability to control his troops.
After the landing the farseer had deployed his troops behind the caslte where the runes were hidden ordering them to wait for his orders, one of the guardian squads was put inside the caslte for defence along with Tibirius who was standing on the rear battlement so his troops could see his signal.
To the troops surprise a squad of three rangers had wandered out of the woods to see what the noise was about only to notice the troops origin, san hiann, hooray! The homesick rangers had settled on the planet confident that they would never see those lovely red/black patterns again.
The dark angels had arrived shortly after the eldar landing agreeing to help on the premise that they could have the catachan leader - straken - conviced he had directions to one of the fallen, how convenient,
The battle with the imperial guard began swiftly as the rangers popped off the first shot at the outlying sentinals doing absolutely nothing at all. Tibirius knew what he was doing and commanded his troops to do nothing else.
The battle raged as the impirial guard opened up on the caslte with their long-range lascannons cutting down space marine after space marine after space marine, the guardians and tank pilots peeked around the corner snickering at the pathetic space marines throwing themselves at the solid wall of gaurdsmen and getting cut down.
The only space marines of intrest were the mighty assault marines who slaughtered whole squads of impirial quard with ease but being killed eventually
The dark eldar, as usual, were cut down quickly one squad rushing around the corner slammed into the falcon tank putting a harty dint in it's armor and scratching the paint byond repair, after being yelled at by Elron they went back around he corner and were thrown aside like a bunch of dead
bodies (witch is what they were by then)
The cadian chimira was comming too close for Elron's liking and he ordered his men around to attack keeping only his favorite guardians close at hand. the falcon tank rushed around and opened up on the chimera but missed entirely.
The element of surprise was now lost and the chimera commander had ordered his troops to disembark as swiftly as possible, and in good time too. The falcon tank fired a full barrage at the chimera ripping it to sheds the fuel and hydraulic component exploding creating a massive sphere of flame, one guardsman was thrown foreward but appeared
unhurt.
The three jetbikes had flown foreward assaulting the recovering Guardsmen and killed two of the only to be killed themselves, except the Viper witch had charged the men, attempting to break their lines, but the men stood firm and a lascannon bolt had struck the side of the viper causing it to crash.
Farseer Tiberius had spent his time looking into fate and seeing the future, noticing that in none of the possobilities would involve the runes being found, he signalled the men and the eldar force began to pull back to the table edge... err I mean the extraction zone...yeah...uh...
anyway, The space marine chaplain was enraged at the eldar defection and rode on his hog toward farseer Tiberius, and wounded him.The falcon tank gunner had seen this horrid act of barbarianism and opened fire with the huge Bright lance vapourizing the Chaplain and destroying the bike.
As the eldar left a tyranyd horde attacked the planet and almost certainly killed all who stood in their way, the guardians could almost hear the screams - it seemed to bring them pleasure. As farseer Tiberius sat in the war-room of his ship with elron, his body bandaged from the chaplain's foolish assault, he pulled out a peoce of gleaming wraithbone. Inscribed upon it wre those sacred runes, God bless the pheonix lords!
