Turn 2
The Black Guardians summon the Avatar to share the ruins they are in.
Strategy Roll: Ulthw? (My opponent and I rolled the same number on the die for Strategy Roll, against any other Eldar army, that would've meant him going first)
The Ulthw? Falcons press the advantage and advance on the Alaitoc Falcons destroying one of the war machines.
The Black Guardians engage the co-mingled Falcons and Ranger Warhost, with the support of the Ulthw? Falcons and Avatar. ?2 Ulthw? Guardians, a Heavy Weapon and a Support Weapon are killed, but all that remains of Alaitoc in the end is a single squad of Rangers which flee back towards Alaitoc lines.
The normal Ulthw? Guardians double towards the Autarch's unit and take down a single Wave Serpent.
Seeing fruit ripe for the plucking, the Autarch commands his Aspect Warriors and the nearby Guardians 2 to engage the Ulthw? Guardians, getting two of the Striking Scorpions and the Autarch in base contact with the enemy Wraithguard. ?The battle is hard fought (two rounds!) and things look good for Alaitoc, with 4 Ulthw? Guardians, a Wraithguard, a Heavy and a Support Weapon destroyed, until the death throes of the nearby Wraithguard kill the Autarch and some of his followers and everything falls apart. ?(Opponent rolled snake-eyes, and I got a six, and he had, overall, +4 to his roll? so Ulthw? won by one over two turns? Ulthw? *should've* been wiped out!) ?Everyone is broken and fleeing, but Ulthw? is somehow victorious. ?The survivors of the Autarch's unit fall back to the Alaitoc Blitz, and the Alaitoc Guardians retreat to the ruins, while the Ulthw? Guardians head for the trees.
The Alaitoc Guardians with Wraithlords double forward, losing a Wraithlord to a large pothole, to fire on the broken enemy Guardians, taking out a Support Weapon.
The Ulthw? Fire Prisms double towards Alaitoc Objective 2, popping up to lance the Wave Serpents of the fleeing Aspect Warriors, destroying them both and wiping out the unit.
The lone Alaitoc Ranger goes on overwatch, in the hope of protecting his brother Guardians.
Having nothing nearby to smash or burn, the Ulthw? Avatar doubles forward striding menacingly through the ruins to blast the broken unit of enemy Guardians taking out a Heavy Weapon Platform.
The Wraithgate opens and Ulthw? Jetbikes pour out to engage the broken Alaitoc Guardians, the overwatch shot of the Ranger doing little. ?Despite the support fire of the Ranger and the other nearby Guardians, only one Ulthw? Jetbike crashes and the broken Guardians are wiped out.
The two remaining bikes of Jetbike Troupe 1 rapidly march to the Alaitoc Blitz.
All remaining units except the Warp Spider Exarch rally?
