The ambush: - Alaitoc rangers Vs Black Templars

The Alaitoc army won the roll off and elected to set-up first and take the first turn. The Avatar, Warothlords,

Vypers and Wave serpent (containing storm guardians and Farseer) deployed amongst the cover of Anthony’s deployment zone whilst Wei set his transports near to the edge of his deployment zone with his predator destructor and dreadnought acting as a skirmish screen.

Anthony then deployed his vast amount of rangers and pathfinders to surround the Black Templars.

Wei elected to take the “Suffer not the unclean to live” vow (i.e. –1I +1 to wound).

Alaitoc turn 1:

The Wraithlords around the Avatar began to spread out moving slowly forward to take some pot shots at the Black Templars. The wave serpent speeded out around several pieces of terrain in order to provide support to the Avatar, which had remained where it was to keep the rangers from running.

The vypers flew out in front of a nearby hill and powered up their weapons in readiness for the shooting phase.

The twin linked bright lance on the wave serpent fired at the nearest rhino but the shot was off and despite the re-roll the shot sailed harmlessly past its target. The wraithlords continued this poor shooting and between them managed one hit which failed to even scratch the rhino that it was aimed at. Then the vyper squadron opened fire, the hail of plasma bolts slammed into the side of the chaplain’s rhino causing it to explode in a bright fireball that killed two of the marines, and another one was killed by fire from one of the ranger squads.

Black Templars turn 1:

Most of the transports shifted their positions so that they could move out next turn to avoid the wraithlords without getting charged by them. 1 rhino though accelerated out around the side of the board to try and out flank the elusive Eldar. The dreadnought and predator turned so that they could pick out specific targets. The remnants of the chaplain’s squad rushed forward towards the rangers.

The Razorback’s lascannon smashed into the nearest wraithlord causing 1 wound, the dreadnought’s multi-melta missed and the predator unleashed a storm of bullets on the vypers destroying the star cannon and shuriken catapult’s of one as well as stunning it.

Alaitoc turn 2:

The stunned vyper floated 6” backwards whilst the other two decided rather prudently to move behind some cover and target the chaplain’s squad instead. The wave serpent cautiously moved behind some ruins to attack the rhino that was trying to out flank it. Again the wraithlords plodded forward towards the transports powering up their bright lances as they did.

One of the wraithlords shot at the razorback blowing off its tracks and immobilising it, the next wraithlord fired at a rhino and also immobilised that. Then the last wraithlord fired at the predator, the energy blast from its bright lance smashing through its hull and destroying it. The wave serpent made up for its last round of fire by immobilising the last remaining rhino. 4 squads of rangers and pathfinders opened fire on the chaplains squad killing only two of the marines, the two vypers added their firepower to the attack and killed one marine and the chaplain!

Black Templars turn 2:

The dreadnought seeing its alien counter parts rushed forward to attack the wounded wraithlord, meanwhile what was left of the chaplain’s squad headed towards a squad of pathfinders with vengence for their lost chaplain in mind. The squad in the razorback disembarked and headed towards the wounded wraithlord, and the flanking squad disembarked and headed towards the wave serpent.

The razorback knocked another wound off the already wounded wraithlord and the dreadnought attempted to finish it off but missed. The squad nearest to the wraithlords fired at a squad of rangers and killed two of them (incidentally causing the survivor to flee 10”).

The dreadnought and two tactical squads charged into two of the wraithlords, the dreadnought and the chaplain’s squad moved into one that was on 3 wounds whilst the rhino squad charged the wraithlord with only one wound remaining. The wounded wraithlord failed to kill any marines and was killed by a powerfist blow in return, and meanwhile the dreadnought was destroyed by the wraithlord it was fighting but took a wound off it in return, and the powerfist armed marine from the chaplain’s squad finished it off. The rhino squad then consolidated into the remaining wraithlord.

Alaitoc turn 3:

The wave serpent dropped off the storm guardians and Farseer near to the flanking squad of marines, the Avatar moved towards the vast amount of marines in the centre of the board and the vypers trained their guns on the razorback.

The wave serpent managed to miss the rhino that it had targeted, whilst the vypers stunned the razorback. The guardians managed to gun down two marines and the Farseer blasted the mind of another marine. Two more where shot apart by a squad of pathfinders, and another pathfinder squad finished off the chaplain’s squad with a round of unerringly accurate fire.

The storm guardians charged into the squad of marines on the flank and managed to kill one of them, the Farseer and warlock not being able to improve upon this, the marines killed two in return. Luckily the guardians did not break. The remaining wraithlord killed two marines and the powerfist armed marine missed with all of his attacks.
