Turn 1
No teleports.
Strategy roll: Biel-Tan
The Scorpion powers up and doubles forward, flanking slight to the right rake Manticore Battery 2. The trees do little to shield the missile tanks and two are destroyed in a flash? the survivor stays, broken, amongst the trees.
The Fire Prisms double forward intent on targeting Manticore Battery 2. As they race towards their target, the Sentinels open up with overwatch fire, but only manage to place a single Blast marker, which suppresses the Firestorm. Laserlight lances forward, skewering two more missile tanks, breaking this battery as well. (The Guard player was some pissed, "What's next, breaking my Russes?!")
Seeing the Fire Prisms floating out in the open, the Hydras advance, catching them in a crossfire with the Sentinels. One of the Fire Prisms crashes, breaking the formation from the unexpected fire, causing them to flew back into Eldar territory.
Warhound 2 advances, moving from cover to cover and unloads a single Plasma Blastgun and the Mega-bolter on the Scorpion, doing 1DC of damage. ("Usually those things blow up from a single hit!")
The Falcons jump forward on a double hit-and-run, pulsing away at Warhound 2? and merely dropping 2 Void shields. They skulk shamefully back to cover.
The Tank Company hesitates? and then doubles straight up the middle barely able to draw a bead on the distant Guardians with some of their weapons. Battlecannons thump and 1 Guardian and 1 Heavy Weapon Platform go "poof!"
The Cobra doubles forward, focuses on Warhound 2, and with a great sucking sound, the Titan is no more! (*ouch!*)
The Nightspinners spin up? and then spin back down as they fail to sustain fire. Unable to reach the Autarch in the Webway, they hold fast and regroup.
The Regimental HQ mounts up, doubles forward, debus into cover and fire on the Cobra. One autocannon scores a hit? and the Eldar super-heavy implodes with a "pop!" ("That's what I'm talking about!")
The wounded Guardians double forward to fire on the Tank Company, placing a single Blast marker.
The Webway opens and out jump the Warp Spiders, who quickly move to engage the Tank Company in a clipping assault. Only 5 Imperial Tanks are able to bring their weapons to bear on the blinking Eldar.
Two Imperial Tanks are destroyed before they can respond, and the survivors manage to take out 1 Warp Spider, but the onslaught is too much for the Imperials as they're pushed back, leaving two more Russes behind. The surviving Spiders jump back to the Black Rock for cover.
Aspect Warhost 2 pauses, hears the warcry of the Autarch, and doubles forward to pummel the Regimental HQ, cracking open 3 Chimeras and killing 1 Guardsman? and placing themselves in an awesome position to pounce a formation with 5 Blast markers!
Warhound 1 doubles towards the action, firing Mega-Bolter at the Warp Spiders killing one of them?
End of turn: Incredibly, all formations rallied for both forces! (The dang Regimental HQ cleared all five of its Blast markers!) Without the help of Spirit Stones, the freshly rallied Fire Prisms retained a single Blast marker?
