RESCUE THE XENOS - BATTLE REPORT Gathering of Angels Mission B Battle Report Narrated by Master Avoghai |
Dark Angels 1st turn: My scouts walked through the forest and my tactical squads stayed in place in order to shoot. nfortunately they weren't in range (by only 2" !!!). Eldar 1st turn: The Farseer moved 4" in my direction! Both squads advanced to the Farseer. The Bright Lance shot at the scouts and killed one. |
Dark Angels 2nd turn: Reserve rolls: Everything entered except the Land Speeder and Yoda. The bikes and the assault squad took the right flank and advanced together. The Rhino rushed to the Farseer, followed by the scout squad. Squad 1 moved so as to be in range of the Eldar. The bikes shot and avenged the death of the scout by killing a Guardian. Eldar 2nd turn: Reserve rolls: All failed except for the Dragons! But they couldn't enter since the portal wasn't activated The Farseer moved 6" back to the center of the table. Squad 1 moved to the Farseer and squad 2 moved to the center of the table. The Bright Lance destroyed my Rhino and killed 2 marines. The Warlock activated the portal. |
Dark Angels 3rd turn: Reserve rolls: Yoda and the Land Speeder entered and took the center of the table to cover the survivors of the Rhino. The command squad walked to the Farseer followed by the scouts. The assault squad moved to the center while the Ravenwing took the flank beside the forest. During the shooting phase, Yoda and the Land Speeder were only able to kill 2 Guardians of the 1st squad because of the spells casted by the warlocks. (cover save... ) Eldar 3rd turn: Reserve rolls: Only the D-Cannons entered. They deployed behind squad 1 while the Dragons moved to the right. The Farseer moved only a symbolic inch. Squad 1 moved to the Farseer but missed by 2" to save him! They were joined by squad 2. During the shooting phase, the Dragons, helped by squad 1 destroyed the scout squad, Squad 2 targeted the assault squad and killed 2 of them. |
Dark Angels 4th turn: Well it was now or never! The assault squad moved to the Farseer and so did the command squad. The bikes crossed the forest, and proved again their bikers skills (no difficult terrain test failed and without needing any re-roll!). Yoda and the Land Speeder came in range of the Dragons. During the shooting phase the combined shoot of the Land Speeder and the old warrior killed 3 Aspect Warriors. Enough for a morale check they failed thanks to Weaken Resolve! Their fall back brought the Dragons in contact with the portal: The unit was destroyed! The command squad, the assault squad and squad 2 targeted the guardians squad 1 and killed 4 or 5 of them; my opponent succeeded half of his cover save rolls (damned Warlock). The bike squad targeted the Guardians squad 2 and killed 9 of them (quite better) but didn't make them flee (which was good for me). |
My command squad and my assault squad engaged the 1st squad of Guardians while the Ravenwing charged squad 2. I suffered no wounds but killed several Xenos. Squad 2 stood in place but Squad 1 failed their morale check. I decided to pursue with the assault squad but not with the command squad that could capture the Farseer with their 3" of consolidation. |
