Chaos Vs Eldar

Deployment: In this game both sides are attempting to gain control of the area by having the most scoring units within 12 inches of the table centre. The chaos player has two squads of traitor Astarte's in the middle of their line and a squad of noise marines anchoring each flank. The slaaneshi chaos lord is lurking deep in the factory on the right. The eldar have a strong force ready to march up the centre consisting of a wraithlord, avatar, storm guardians, howling banshees, and the seer council. On the left they have their warp spiders, and on the right a vyper, each backed up by a squad of black guardians. 




Eldar Turn 1: The ulthwe host advance and lay down a volley of fire, but for the most part stay cautiously within the shelter of the ruins.



Chaos Turn 1: The noise marines demonstrate their unrivalled firepower, ejaculating a soul rattling crescendo onto the seer council. The wizened old farseers are only saved by their wraithbone armour and psychic prescience, allowing them to reroll their invulnerable saves and absorb an incredible amount of punishment. The Chaos lord rides up to the corner of the building, but is distracted by the 'delightful' music and wastes the opportunity to move forwards quickly.



Eldar Turn 2: Whilst one farseer keeps up the fortune spell, his colleague feels the presence of the chaos lord and reaches out with his mind. Finding that utterly corrupted soul, he rips it apart in less than a heartbeat. Returning to his mundane senses the old eldar allows himself a slight smile, as even across the din of battle he hears the 'pop' of his enemies head exploding. Meanwhile the howling banshees dash into the capitol building and sprint towards the chaos astartes.


Chaos Turn 2: Blasting a swirling hole from the warp through the fabric of reality, the daemonettes arrive. They charge headlong into the warp spiders and slaughter the surprised aspect warriors with gleeful ease. On the opposite flank the obliterator teleports into the fray, but manages to miss the vyper with his twin linked meltagun. In the centre the chaos astartes level their bolters and mow down the oncoming howling banshees before they can reach combat. 





Eldar Turn 3: The storm guardians bravely dart forward to face the great enemies foot soldiers, immolating the deamonettes with their flamers. The avatar roars and prepares to charge the obliterator. The black guardians, with their war gods cry ringing in their ears are inspired into a laser focused frenzy of martial prowess. Every shuriken and scatter laser shot unerringly finds the weak spots in the obliterators coalescent warp infused armour, bringing the goliath down. 





Chaos Turn 3: The noise marines direct their sonic blasters onto the unfortunate black guardians. With blood pouring from the lifeless skulls of most of his charges, the warlock pulls the survivors back and out of the battle. The traitor marines charge into the capitol to hold up the eldar wraithlord and give the rest of their army time to keep firing. 



Eldar Turn 4: With the left flank collapsing the avatar and seer council push their way into the centre. Along the way the farseer crushes another mind of a slaaneshi minion, denying the noise marines in the factory their blastmaster. Meanwhile the wraithlord methodically dismembers the chaos astartes in melee until none remain. 



Chaos Turn 4: A tear in the sky disgorges a flock of furies from the warp, and they swoop down to sink their talons into the avatar of khaine. The sole remaining traitor marine squad dash past the wraithlord in search of easier prey, butchering the hapless storm guardians. 





Turn 5: The wraithlord slowly turns, and with huge lumbering strides catches up with its quarry. It stamps and smashes and kicks the armoured astartes until they are nothing more than a pile of broken bones and rent flesh. The avatar with more vigor does the same to its daemonic foes. The farseer reaches out yet again and psychically extinguishes another noise marine blastmaster, but nearly pays the ultimate price as his soul is clawed at by the beings in the warp. 



Turn 6: The last remaining noise marine defiantly aims his flute at the seer council. Its shrill toot stopping the heart of a young warlock who tumbles from the ruin. With the centre of the board firmly in their hands, 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

Old Feuds: Rus Vs Carolingians

Image
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. The Rus are arrayed in a dense phalanx to protect their patron.  Turn 1: The Carolingian infantry tentatively manoeuvre forward whilst their horsemen secure the hill on the flank.  Carolingian Turn 2: The Frankish archers advance to take a potshot at the Rus levy, but only one is slain. Rus Turn 2: Goaded into a hasty advance, the levy shower their foes with javelins, but the bowmen are saved by their defensor ability.  Turn 3: The hearthguard race down the hill and smash into the levy's flanks, slaying all bar one of th

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
