This photo is just into turn one after Kim had moved her first two formation foward but roughly shows deployment. ?Kim spread out with 2 Windrider hosts on each flank and the guardians and Falcons in the centre. ?She deployed both aspect warhosts on the far flank.
The warwalkers formed a line accross the table garrisoning.
I put the sentinals on garrison, vultures in the middle of the table and spread out the drop trooper and storm trooper formations along my table edge.
Turn 1
Eldar ?- Striking scorpians and Warp spiders march up behind the line of war walkers.
Guard - Lightnings scrambled on CAP
E - Falcons fail activation
G - Vultures shoot unactivated falcons 8 hits killing all of them.
E - ?War walkers advance to shoot at the poped up Vultures, drop sentinals on overwatch take a shot at them doing nothing. ?The war walkers shot down three vultures and the rest fled of the bourd. ?(unfortuntately the eldar were unable to reach the other squad of unactivated vultures or any of the valkyres as they couldnt get forward with my wall of sentinals.
G - My other unit of Vultures launched their missile salvo at the remaining Falcon squadron killing them all. ?Pressing the advantage now that no AA remained I followed up with my Marauders destroying one of the Jet bike formations.
E - The nightwings attempted to intercept the Marauders but lost two birds before they could release their payload with the Lightnings flying to defend the Marauders and the marauders adding their own flack fire.
G - My suport sentianls shot at the unactivated war walkers but failed to cause any damage.
E - One squad of Jetbikes moved up the far flank, trying to get around the sentinal wall
G - The Drop troop formation advanced unleasing the multiple rocket pods on the JB formation despite only killing one a large number of disrupt hits were scored and the three BMs just for being shot at with so mighty a barrage sent the Eldar scurrying away back towards their base.
E - The guardians moved forward into the cover of the ruins.
G - Moving forward another formation of valkyres I unleashed their multiple rocket pots on the war walkers, also clipping the Striking scropians with the barrage, again this potent disrupt weapon caused a unit to break despite only one casualty all up (which was with the heavy bolters).
E - Another unit of JB marched up to try and get in possition
G - Advancing with another unit of Valkyres (4) I unleashed their deadly volly at the striking scorpians catching the broken warwalker unit in the barrage (thus killing two automatically due to BMs). ?The striking scorpians already having been hit by a previous 10BP barrage had had enought and broke.
E - Jetbikes double up on near flank and shoot the support sentinals failing to cause a kill
G - Another unit of valkyres moved forward letting rip with there barrage this time hitting both the broken striking scorpians (killing three) and warp spiders (which was BtS objective as had Autach).
End of Turn, ?the eldar regrouped one formation of jetbikes but pretty much everything else stayed broken.
G - Marauders flew in and shot at the Warp Spiders killing two (including the Autach and causing a huge split in the spread out scout formation). ?Retaining I failed an action test with my Valkyres, shooting with a -1 was all I needed anyway as the Warp Spiders were 1 away from breaking, after a further warp spider was killed the gap in the unit was so large that a further 2 warp spiders were lost when the fleeing unit couldn't get back together.
E - Walkers sustained fire at popped up valkyres killing one (can't remember what you are supposed to do in this situation but we just assumed that the two units of storm troopers inside would be dead since it was so high up and applied 4 blast markers, 3 kills and 1 for being shot at).
G - Vultures moved toward the near flank to defend the sentinals wall from the eldar jet bikes, only three were in range but still managed to kill two bike stands.
E - Nightwings needing 5 actually comes on and trys an intercept attack at the Marrauders but failed to hit (despite us using the experimental AA rules +1 to hit on intercept and cap)
G - My lightnings flew over and shot a jet bike down, following up on the vultures work. ?The Jetbikes fled, leaving my sentinal wall safe.
E - Guardians go onto overwatch
G - Valkyres shoot broken WS hitting three times but all saved (one dies due to BM)
E - One of the jetbike units tried to shoot some Unactivated popped up Valkyres down but failed to hit.
G - The storm troopers doubled up, dismounted and killed the remaining Warp Spiders (BtS)
I then marched the drop sentinals up to advance my line of inpassability.
Turn three to come later gotta go game.
