Turn 1Monolith 1 shows up safely.
The Avatar then appears on the road near Guardian Warhost 1.
And then six more Monolith groups and the Pylon show up!  Only Monolith Groups 2 and 4 suffer any harm, each receiving a single Blast marker.
Strategy Roll: Necrons!
Monolith Group 1 hovers slightly closer to Guardian Warhost 1 and then engages Windriders 3!  The Eldar are pinned between the Monoliths on either side and only have three units in range to make attacks… and do no damage!  One Jetbike and one Vyper are flayed apart, and then the same happens again as the Necrons win.
Phalanx 1 then steps out of the first Portal of Monolith Maniple 2 and engages Guardian Warhost 1… with the support of *EIGHT* Monoliths.  The Guardians take down 1 Immortal and 2 Warriors, despite the assistance of the Avatar, and all are wiped out except a single stand of Wraithguard which holds its ground.  The Warrrior Phalanx disappears as suddenly as it arrived by stepping into the second Portal on Monolith 2. (
Being able to cycle Phalanxes onto and then off the board at leisure was incredible!  Can really save damage Phalanxes from being destroyed. )
Falcon 2 sit tight and sustain fire on Monolith Group 6 that’s hiding in the nearby ruins.  The ruined building offers little protection as both Monoliths are destroyed.
Falcon 1 tries to do something similar, advancing and popping up to fire on Monolith Maniple 7… but they only manage to take out one of them and the survivor holds its ground. (
Losing the only Farseer on the board in the first two enemy activations really hampered the Eldar player.)
Monolith Group 5 doubles down the road, getting a little extra mileage and fires on Falcon Troupe 2, placing a single Blast marker.
Phalanx 2 then arrives from the furthest Portal of Monolith 5 and engages Falcon Troupe 2, despite the support of the nearby Scorpion.  A single Necron Warrior goes down as the Falcons are wiped out.  The victorious Necrons then vanish via the second Portal of Monolith Group 5.
The rattled Scorpion attempts to sustain fire, but fails, and fires normally at Monolith 7, eliminating it.
Monolith Group 4 then engages the Avatar!  The Eldar War God flails about uselessly and His death wail as he goes down in arcs of green lightning terrorizes one of the Jetbike units of Windriders 3 to death!  (
A *narrow* line of sight to the critically hit Avatar took out a broken biker/ *laugh*)
Windriders 1 doubles across the battlefield to get the Pylon in their sites, and they place a single Blast marker.
The Nightwings then dive down in an attempt to finish the job.  One of the squadron is blown out of the air and the other two do 1DC damage and break the Pylon.
Monolith Group 3 then doubles after the last survivors of Windriders 3 and takes them out.
Windriders 2 double towards Monolith 1 and put a Blast marker on them.
Phalanx 3 then steps out of the first of Monolith 1, engages and destroys the sole remaining Wraithguard of Guardian Warhost 1
And is picked up by the other Portal of Monolith 1 and then steps *out* of Monolith Group 3 beside Eldar Objective 1… (
Wow!  It’s amazing to have so many available Portals!)
End of Turn:All formations rally.
