Dark Eldar vs White Scars

Deployment: The white scars  have chanced upon intelligence that a dark eldar archon, present at the fateful battle in which their primarch Jaghati Khan dissapeared into the webway, has been spotted skulking in the ruins of an imperial world. Their Honor demands he must die. In this Assasination mission the astartes deploy two bike squads with attached attack bikes and a landspeeder with a heavy flamer and multi melta, the rest of their force starts in reserve. Hearing the rumble of bikes approaching, the two squads of warriors have scant time to form a perimiter in the ruined factory, whilst the Archon fumbles to activate the webway portal to bring on his own relief force.  





White Scars Turn 1: The first squad of bikes race forwards alongside the landspeeder, as the second swerves into the capitol building. Together they swiftly scythe through the warriors on the north wall, opening a path to the archon.



Dark Eldar Turn 1: Activating the portal, the archon surges gleefully forwards in a drug fuelled whirr as the mandrakes step out of the shadows to support his attack. Before they know what's hit them three astartes are torn apart.





White Scars Turn 2: Another landspeeder arrives and catch the remaining warriors in a crossfire of heavy flamer and assault cannon, routing the fickle and corrupt eldar. 

But the archon makes short work of the rest of his enemies, leaving a sole attack bike to gun its engines and retreat, with the mandrakes in hot pursuit.



Dark Eldar Turn 2: Taking another draught of his combat drugs, the stunned white scars watch as he leaps atop the capitol building and starts carving through them. Laughing sadistically as their heavily armored forms crunch into the rubble below. 

Meanwhile reinforcements rush out of the webway gate. Two squads of wyches leap forward to support their master, but are caught out in the open staring down a heavy flamer! They are saved by a pair of warriors wielding splinter cannons stepping out of the webway and distracting the space marine skimmer with a torrent of fire. 



White Scars Turn 3: The veteran space marines roar in from the boards edge. Their furious charge briefly crushing the archon into the wall, shorting out his impervious shadowfield. Recovering quickly he furiously hacks apart more astartes and the first biker squad beat a hasty retreat. 



The second landspeeder glides over the factory culling three wyches with its assault cannon and heavy bolter, putting the squad to flight. 

Whilst the mandrakes chase down and dispatch their quarry.

Dark Eldar Turn 3: The wyches in the factory rally, whilst the fearless squad of warriors race up to the buildings edge. Focusing their fire they shoot off the landspeeders heavy flamer, moments before it can annihalate them all.

The wyches make up for lost time, clambering up the ruin alongside a pack of warp beast galloping out of the webway gate. Envigorated by fear with his force field cut out, the archon manically slaughters his foes before his allies can land a blow! 

Barking orders and throwing his followers bodies between him and danger, the archon retreats to the upper floors. 

White Scars Turn 4: The stormseer arrives at precisely the right moment. shrowding himself in psychic energy he casts a powerful spell that shakes the hearts of all the foul xenos present, and sends the wyches and mandrakes fleeing in terror! A landspeeder and the rallying bikers pour bolter and assault cannon fire into the warp beasts, clearing a path.  

Gunning his engines the stormseer charges the archon. The ancient eldar is a blur of panicked movement, his agoniser aimed in a decapitating strike, but parried at the last moment by the astartes!

Crushed by the bikes weight, the archon uncomprehendingly stares, before his paralyzed form topples to the ground.

Not stopping for a moment, the stormseer rides on to cut down and scatter an entire squad of fleeing wyches!

Dark Eldar Turn 4: Though the archon is dead, the surviving dark eldar fight on. Knowing that whoever can claim the credit for driving off the human vermin may rise to the now-vacant position at the head of the kabal. The warriors dash up to the rooftop and one takes aim with his blaster, detonating the landspeeders engine with a lethal beam of energy. 



Not to be outdone, the surviving succubus charges headlong up the capitol steps supported by her wyches. Her agoniser wraps around the hated psychics neck and she pulls his head clean off, drinking in
the death pangs of this mighty soul. 



White Scars Turn 5: Their mission complete the white scars begin to pullback, but the death of their stormseer cannot go unavenged. The remaining bikes and landspeeder screen themselves behind the capitol from the rest of the dark eldar host, whilst gunning down the wyches cavorting over their dead leaders body. 



Dark Eldar Turn 5: The talos at last lumbers out of the webway, but neither it nor the warriors can bring their weapons to bear on the space marines, instead rushing headlong towards them. 



White Scars Turn 6: Both the landspeeder and bikes turbo boost out of melee range and towards safety. 



Dark Eldar Turn 6: The splinter cannons and talos's sting accurately track their targets, showering the astartes in razor sharp splinters. But they are saved by their power armor which turns the shards that find their mark. Riding on to safety, white scars win!
