Turn 1
Necrons teleport in four Monolith formations and the Pylon? the Monoliths arrive safely, but the Pylon suffers 2 Blast markers when appearing in the woods and is instantly broken!
Strategy roll: Biel-Tan
The Revenants bound forward on a double to blast Monolith 3? even with the new pulse benefits they only score 3 hits which are all saved by the Necrons.
The Wraithgate shimmers open and the Autarch leads her Warp Spiders into combat against Monolith formation 4, barely in range of the support of Monolith 3, but with the support of the Rangers, Revenants, and Guardian Warhost 2? no Eldar lives are lost as the Necron war machines are wiped out? breaking nearby Monolith 3. ?The Warp Spiders jump forward to protect the Guardians.
Using a second retain, Swords of Vaul 1 double towards Monolith formation 2? and pulse apart the Monolith!
Wiping sweaty oil from his brow, the Necron leader orders Monolith 1 to double forward and fire on the Falcons? placing a single Blast marker, but moving into support range.
Following up, Phalanx 1 emerges from the Portal of broken Monolith 3 and engages the intermingled Guardian Warhost 2, Aspect Warhost, and Swords of Vaul 1?
Two Necron Warriors are dropped via the Warp Spiders and another goes down from the Guardians? but the Eldar are brutalized, losing in the end 6 Warp Spiders, including the Exarch, 2 Guardians, 3 Heavy Weapons, and 2 Support Weapons. ?Being just in support range, the Revenants suffer a Blast marker.
Sensing looming trouble, the Swords of Vaul 2 double forward to fire on Monolith 1? placing a single Blast marker?
Phalanx 2 then strides forth from the Portal in Monolith 1 and engages the intermingled Rangers, Revenants, and Fire Prisms, along with the broken Warp Spiders and Guardian Warhost 2! (With the Rangers as the "primary" target, all those other formations were within 10cm of a Ranger unit? I really need to pay more attention to the lessons I've been teaching my opponents!) ?The Rangers remember that they're on overwatch and fire on the approaching Necrons, dropping the Necron Lord and Pariah before they reach the Eldar? and the battle then gets nasty! ?Two Rangers die, and both Revenants take damage, -2DC to Revenant 1 and -1DC to Revenant 2? but the massed Eldar troops manage to completely wipe out the leaderless Necron Warriors handily winning the fight. ?Even the broken Autarch cheers!
Eques 1 then doubles out of the Tomb Complex to fire on the nearly broken Revenants? Revenant 1 takes a single DC of damage, crashing to the ground and breaking its brother Titan which flees for cover.
The Night Spinners spin up to sustain fire on Eques 2, scoring many hits and taking out 2 Heavy Destroyers, breaking the formation.
Lastly, Guardian Warhost 1 doubles forward to get close to the Necron Pylon, but fires to no effect?
End of Turn: Broken Monoliths and Necron infantry fade away? and no broken formations for either side manage to rally!
