January Scouring G10

Eldar v Dark Angels 1600 armies

Mission: Scouring

Deployment: Hammer and Anvil

Hex: G10


The Eldar arrived to find Chaos Marines dug-into their Maiden World in similar fashion to the Dark Angels on H11.


The Chaos Marines had stolen their planet and now set about stealing initiative, ripping into the Walkers behind their ineffective Aegis Defence Line. However, the remaining Walkers saved First Blood allowing Farseer Abraxas to once more lead his Warlock Council into the fray.


Their Singing Spears proved to be on-song and tore through the Marine's armoured defences, finally taking First Blood and Slay the Warlord. But still the Chaos Marine's took out Eldar Units and achieved their own Slay the Warlord.


As against the Dark Angels, this battle descended into a war of attrition with Primary Objectives an unnecessary luxury as scoring units were systematically wiped from the field.


Eventually, the Chaos Marines ran out of options and retired from the surface leaving the Eldar to collect their comrades' Spirit Stones in reverential peace.


Final Score: Eldar 3 (First Blood, Slay the Warlord, Line Breaker), Chaos Marines 2 (Slay the Warlord, Line Breaker)

January Scouring H11

Eldar v Dark Angels 1600 armies

Mission: Scouring

Deployment: Dawn of War

Hex: H11


The Dark Angels had strongly fortified their stolen Maiden World and were determined to deny the Eldar further reclamation.


Heavy weaponry and Terminators tore into the Eldar Walkers and took First Blood but the Warlock Council led by Farseer Abraxas made inroads deep into Dark Angel territory. As units on both sides fell, scoring objectives became a forgotten sub-plot as bitter hand-to-hand struggles for very survival took precedence.


Twice the Dark Angels thought they had done enough to take the day, but the Farseers on faraway Myth-Iliath and foreseen it all and twice the Eldar twisted fate to prolong the conflict. Finally, the bloodbath ended and from the thick mists of dawn the steady drone of Eldar Jetbike emerged victorious by the narrowest of margins.


Eldar 2 (Slay the Warlord, Line-breaker) Dark Angels 1 (First Blood)

Orkz vs Necrons

Mission: Scouring
Deployment: Hammer and Anvil
Night/Day Fight

A new force rose in the east....

Den Skanza stepped on 'em wiv his big metal boot! Warlord Skanza Hammerfist unleashed his Iron Claws on the newly discovered Necrons. Da boyz, always glad of someone new to hurt, got stuck in to a right killi little battle. Da Necrons woz still a bit sleepy and obviously couldn't remember how all of their toyz worked and dey got snipped as da meganobz took exception to der new battlewagon gettin' bashed up. Da Necrons retaliated wiping out da bikez and da armour and the whole thing decended into a melee of hand to hand fightin' which da boyz just came out on top of.

WAAAAGH!

Final Score:

Orkz 5 (Line Breaker, 4 objective points)
Necrons 4 (First Blood, Line Breaker, 2 objective point)

The Necrons have Awoken

A new power is here to claim back their lost empire.

Life will never be the same again.

Tyranid (New Codex first outing) vs Dark Angels

Mission: Scouring
Deployment: Vanguard Strike
Day Fight

The Necrons Return! - I12

The Necrons continued to flex their muscles and confirmed their arrival with victory over the Eldar.


An experimental Eldar force gained early advantages against the Necrons but were pushed back by a well balanced army that contained strength and versatility. Ultimately, the Eldar brittleness was exposed once more as the balance of the Universe continues to shift away from Eldar dominance.

Escalation

Tyranids have been playing an Apocalypse unit.
The Escalation rule book covers this.
We do not own the rules but they basically come down to :

Only one unit can be played in your army.

Killing the 'Lord of War' (Apocalypse unit) gives an additional Victory Point.
If the Lord of War is a Super Heavy Vehicle, it gives a Victory Point per three Hull Points.

An army fighting against a Lord of War gains +1 to Seize the Initiative (Eg 5&6 to Seize)

An army fighting against a Lord of War can choose to roll on an alternative Warlord Traits table.
I suggest that we play : The Warlord and his Unit can re-roll to hit when attacking the Lord of War.

January Scouring - I11

Chaos Space Marines vs Orks

Mission: Scouring

Deployment: Hammer and Anvil

Hex: I 11

Ork bravery can rarely be questioned; Ork intellect is another matter entirely.

Faced with an entrenched Chaos force well stocked with heavy weaponry, the Orks went deep into their strategic playbook - and rushed en masse towards the foe.

The result was predictable. A few short rounds of combat saw the few remaining Orks fleeing for the hills, their leader slain and forces annihilated. Chaos losses were negligible - the marines, and a Decimator Daemon Engine that fell to the final ravings of the Orc War-Boss.

Iron Within, Iron Without!

Final Score: 

Chaos Space Marines: 13 (First Blood, Slay the Warlord, Linebreaker, 10 objective points)
Orks Who Cares - maybe 3?
