I realized while I was writing this report up the Minervans were over by 55 points.  There was some confusion in the army building I think because I had two guys working the same army that day and there was probably a disconnect on how the Warhounds were to be fielded.  No biggie, though.

Corner deployment.  The table was a bit shorter than 6 feet so there were some allowances made for objective placement.

Turn 1
The Dark Eldar won the strategy roll and doubled the Executor.  The TK dark lance hits one Valkyrie, killing two storm troopers inside and laying 4 BMs.

Retaining, Ravagers escape from the Wraithgate and move against the Valkyries.  Despite a tremendous amount of firepower, the transports make all their saves and the formation only takes a single BM.

The Minervans strike back by assaulting the Ravagers.  Despite going into the assault with BMs, one Ravager is killed and the Minervans win the assault by 1;  two Ravagers fall back broken.

A Syndicate formation belches forth from the Executor’s Wraithgate and destroys a single Valkyrie.  The Stormtroopers within survive, however.

Basilisks fire at the broken Ravagers, killing one more with a BM.

The Dark Eldar’s second Ravager formation doubles from the deployment zone with a move-shoot-move.  The formation hits the Valkyries at extreme range and manage to kill two of them, leaving three stands of Stormtroopers broken and retreating.
The first Warhound double moves and strike at the Syndicate.  Four infantry stands and one Raider vaporize which breaks them instantly and sends them packing.

The BoP descends from within the Executor and fires at the scout titan, dropping two shields.

The Thunderers double to try to get into range, but the sloping terrain prohibits their shots from landing on the Dark Eldar foes.

The Vessel of Pain dashes forward, landing two TK hits on the shield-less Warhound and breaks it.  From hereon the Dark Eldar makes no more moves as everything is transported or offboard.

The Mechanized Infantry and SHTs both march.  Warhound #2 doubles and kills all but three stands of DE Warriors and one Raider from the second Syndicate which flees back.

Rallies weren't recorded but it isn't too hard to figure out what happened.

Pre-turn 2
The Kashnarak squeezes out of the Wraithgate, charges unscathed through the jungle, and barges into the Mechanized Infantry.  The assault is on!  One single hit gets through the giant beasts thick hide, but the Imperial Guardsman must be a pro marksman because he fells the beast on a critical hit.  When the smoke clears, three IG stands are dead.

(Note: that has to be the shortest living Kashnarak I've seen to date... I should have fielded the Dismember-Me-Elmo  :devil: ).
