Dark Eldar Vs Orks

Deployment: The objective for this scenario is for each side to claim control of buildings by 'planting the flag' in them. The Dark eldar have three squads of warriors strung out to hold the rubble on the left and warehouse on the right, with the archon behind the tower in the middle of their line. The Orks have a skorcha and mob of burna boyz behind the pipe on the right. On the left they have some slugga boyz and a dreadnought waiting behind the refinery. The refinery itself is held by shoota boyz on the upper floors and grotz scurrying below. Finally they have two more mobz of sluggas and the warboss ready to surge forwards in the centre. 



Ork Turn 1: The skorcha zooms past the open gap to the safety of the capitol building, with burna boyz following close behind. A slugga boy mob pushes into the factory to claim it for the waaaagh, whilst the rest of the warband stomp forward in one great central mass. 



Dark Eldar Turn 1: The warriors on the left manoeuvre forwards to get a better angle, scything down the lead slugga boyz with their splinter cannons. On the right the warriors pull back away from the menacing skorcha. The squad in the warehouse forego thinning the greenskin tide to take a shot at the dreadnought, but fail to cause any permanent damage. The archons attention is wholly focused on deploying the delicate webway gate, ready to call on reinforcements. 



Ork Turn 2: The grotz squirm their way forwards at the head of the horde and claim the tower in the centre, whilst the shoota boyz assume firing positions at the edge of the refinery



Dark Eldar Turn 2: The talos hurtles out of the webway gate, backed up by the archon and a squad of wyches. Together they effortlessly butcher the lead ork mob. Meanwhile the warriors recalibrate their dark lances and fire again, this time the ork dreadnought crumples to the ground in a ball of black smoke. 





Ork Turn 3: Enraged and ready for a scrap, the warboss charges straight for the talos. He dives under its giant technorganic pincer and swings upwards with his powerclaw, gutting the monstrosity and putting the pilot/victim out of their misery. The shoota boyz open up on the warriors in the rubble, and the slugga boyz in the factory fire wildly to join in. 





Dark Eldar Turn 3: Another squad of wyches leap from the webway portal. They dance around the lumbering warboss, and carve through his slugga boy mob, losing only a handful of their number in return. The mandrakes step from the shadows and claim the central tower, together with the warriors they unleash a fusillade at the shoota boyz that sends them fleeing in panic!





Ork Turn 4: The dark eldar archon lashes out with his agoniser, wrapping it around the warbosses throat. The mighty ork brings his powerfist cracking down in blow after blow, but the greenskin asphyxiates before he can buckle the arcane shadowfield. With their leader slain the slugga boyz panic and try to flee, but are cut down as they run by the remaining wyches who now claim the refinery. Elsewhere the burna boyz and skorcha move forward to claim the capitol and to challenge the dark eldar warriors. 





Dark Eldar Turn 4: As fast as they are deadly, the wyches and archon are a blur as they dart up the capitol steps and massacre the burna boyz. Loping out of the webway portal the warp beasts careen into and rip apart the ork skorcha. With the rest of their warband torn to pieces, the slugga boyz in the factory decide to leg it and fight another day. Dark eldar win!

The Wars of Religion - Stubborn Defence

Image
Deployment: In this game we are using the 'Liber Militum Tercios' rules, and their 3rd scenario 'stubborn defence'*. A strong Spanish force under the Duke of Palma have been chasing a weaker Huguenot one led by king Henri IV across the countryside, finally forcing them to make a stand. Fortunately for the French they have a cavalry detachment racing to the rescue. The Spanish score victory points for each unit they get into the defenders side of the board (just behind the fields), whilst the French get victory points for each attacking unit destroyed. In their vanguard the French have a mixed English regiment of pike, shot and billmen, a body of Huguenot arquebusiers, a medium artillery piece, and a squadron of cuirassiers. In reserve they have more Huguenot shot, cuirassiers, and a squadron of mercenary reiters. The Spanish infantry hold their centre, interspersing one Italian and one elite Spanish tercio with detached mangas of musketeers in between. On the right they

Deployment: The Carolingians have enlisted a veteran soldier of the wilderness to help them track down and eliminate the Rus protected green wizard ( princess ). Victory will go to the side that can eliminate the others special character, or cripple the enemies warband through victory points. The Carolingians have a powerful unit of mounted hearthguard on their left, archers in the ruins on the right, and the soldier with two small squads of warriors in between.

City of York Militia Vs Catterick Garrison - Infiltrate

Image
Deployment: The City of York Militia has successfully snuck around the government position in this village to attack them from the rear. Leo leads his half section on the left towards the garden wall,  whilst Mike takes his along the hedgerow on the right. With their position untenable the best the Catterick Garrison can do is pull back and try to regroup, to win at least one of their models must escape across their board edge. * Turn 1: Pte Foggarty and Frost are dutifully guarding the road and keeping their eyes towards the enemy lines. They are startled by the sound of bullets whizzing past their ears and turn to see the rebels bearing down on them from the rear.  Both dive for cover behind the houses.  Turn 2: Mike and George dash across a gap in the hedgerow, but Cpl Price is alert to the danger and has swung his machinegun team around. In that moment they open fire and both men are gunned down.  Meanwhile the rest of the Catterick Garrison reveal themselves as they turn to face t
