White Scars Vs Eldar

 Deployment: In this scenario the white scars are launching a 'grand assault' and must capture the three buildings on the enemies half of the board. Concentrating on their left the white scars have three squads of bikers, each with a flamer and heavy bolter attack bike, and led by the captain. Screening their right and center are three land speeders, two with multi melta and heavy flamers and one with heavy bolter and assault cannon. The eldar defenders have put black guardians and the seer council in the tanks on the left, black guardians and the wraithlord in the factory in the center, with the avatar and warp spiders in the alley between. Hiding on their right is the vyper with the howling banshees and storm guardians in reserve. 



The white scars call down a preliminary bombardment from orbit, mauling the wraithlord and knocking it down to 1 wound!



Eldar Turn 1: The Vyper zips forward to bravely dogfight the three Landspeeders. Blazing away with its shuriken cannons, one of the astartes flyers crashes to the ground!



The warp spiders unleash their death spinners across the cesspit, dismembering three bikers, whilst the seer council crushes the mind of an attack biker. Meanwhile the wounded wraithlord lumbers back into the safety of the alley. 



White Scars Turn 1: The scars race forward along the flank, but the combined firepower of their wild shots only manages to fell two warp spiders. 



On the right the remaining landspeeders dart forwards, but fail to get a bead on the vyper pilot as he deftly weaves away. 



Eldar Turn 2: Gunning the engines in a daring loop the vyper repositions and shoots down another landspeeder!



The rest of the ulthwe force fire wildly into the fast moving horde of bikes, but every shuriken and monofilament web seems to bounce off the sturdy vehicle frames and no astartes are killed. Meanwhile the banshees fleet into the alley from the board edge.



White Scars Turn 2: The captain reconsiders the plan, signalling his riders to pull back behind the pipe and try for a new angle of approach. But they gun down many black guardians as they retreat with their parthian shots. The last landspeeder regroups with the main force by darting back behind the warehouse.



Eldar Turn 3: Without any targets the vyper and warp spiders push forwards behind the pipe. The wraithlord repositions under the tanks and annihalates a biker with a bolt from its brightlance.  



The rest of the squad race to the rear in dismay, quitting the battlefield!



White Scars Turn 3: The remaining landspeeder at last brings its multi melta to bear, winging the vyper which crashes to its doom. 



The bikers all concentrate their firepower, slaughtering the black guardians. Even the psychically emboldened mind of their warlock is overcome and the survivor's flee for safety. 



Eldar Turn 4: The seer council again reaches out in a mind war, wiping out another astartes attack bike. The black guardians in the factory avenge the fallen vyper pilot by dispatching the last land speeder with their scatter laser. The howling banshees move into the factory as the storm guardians come sprinting up the alley from the board edge. 



White Scars Turn 4: The bikers complete their manoeuvre around the pipe whilst rapid firing into the factory. 



The black guardians there are shot to pieces until their warlock pulls them out of the fight to safety. 



Eldar Turn 5: Having played their part both black guardian squads reach the board edge and escape, leaving the aspect warriors to finish off the hated mon-keigh.



With inhuman agility the howling banshees dance through the rubble of the factory, gaining momentum to match the astartes mechanical steeds. Shrouded in the seer councils spells of fortune no blow can land on them, but equally their powered blades are turned by the solid bulk of the space marine bikes and there are no casualties!



White Scars Turn 5: A squad of bikes guns their engines to race into and capture the factory, effortlessly torching the storm guardians in a drive by as they pass. 



As the white scars momentum is stopped and the melee becomes a hard fought swirl, the banshees begin to turn the tide and pick off three bikers.



Eldar Turn 6: The wraithlord and warp spiders stridebforwards and blow apart the bike squad at close range, reclaiming the factory. 



Meanwhile the avatar joins the melee, cutting down more bikers until only the captain remains.



White Scars Turn 6: Surrounded on all sides the captain fights defiantly on, parrying blows from the whole host of howling banshees. But when he tries to defend himself against the avatars wailing doom, the demon weapon overpowers and carves him apart. Eldar win!
