We had 12 pieces of area terrain each about 20-30cm by 10-15cm mixture of hills, woods and ruins.
I set up 2 both sets of rangers in a scout screen protecting most of my deployment zone
Turn 1 Chaos win rolling a 6 and getting +3 daemons Strike Cruiser deploys - 2 big templates hit Scorpion, VS, 2 falcons and 3-4 guardians. Fortunately Kyuss rolls badly and only 1 guardian is killed. The pod comes down away from the barrage centrally and is pushed out by the rangers ZoC. Deathwind BMs the rangers. Rangers OW the chosen giving a BM. Chosen summon 3 daemons and, using the reroll to activate, assault the rangers. After 2 rounds of assault the chosen win by 1 (first round was +4 to chaos before roll). All but 1 ranger killed. BM for 2nd VS and NS for supporting
SSpears BTs assaults the Chosen 2/10 hits killing 2 daemons, chosen kill 2 SS. Eldar win assault by 1, 3 Chosen escape.
BTS retinue on blitz goes on OW Falcons that had a BM from spaceship marshal Mech Chosen double forward behind hill VS fails to activate, removes BMs Empty Thawk battle cannons Falcons (ones which haven't activated) killing a Falcon Falcons marshal removing BMs Full thawk does the same but misses. VS sustains on on mech retinue - kills 1 rhino Retinue fails to marshal - 1 BM left NS fails to activate Helltalons ground attack falcons staying out of AA range - BM Guardians march into cover near broken chosen Hellblades fail to activate Guardians marshal Other retinue marches into central position Scorpion sustains on them killing 2 rhinos 2nd scorpion singles and shoots same retinue killing another rhino Rangers go back on OW Other SS march to centre behind cover to threaten 2 mech retinues
Thawks fly off fine, HT off elder board edge
Chosen don't rally, ranger does All BM formations rally
Turn 2 Avatar deploys near retinue which had rhinos shot away Chaos roll 6 again and get 2? daemons and go first
Retinue with 1 rhino left summons 4 daemons and assault the Avatar in FF. Avatar does nothing, 1 chaos hit criticals the Avatar giving bM to SS and Guardians Hellblades GA SSpears that had marched killing 1 Scorpion singles killing 2 rhinos on retinue that hasn't come forward Helltalons GA forward guardians killing 4 with IC barrage breaking them Scorpion sustains on broke chosen killing 1 and therefore removing 3 Empty Thawk battlecannons falcons again killing 1 and breaking them VS sustains on retinue on baseline killing 2 CSM VS retains and does the same no kills but 4 BM breaking them Mech Chosen double and kills a SS in BTS formation Retain and air assault with terminators in FF. 3SS and Autarch killed, no terminators. Chosen up by 7 wiping out BTS Rangers break from BM supporting them NS sustains on rhino less retinue in centre (all bunched up after killing avatar) hits rhino 3 CSM, sorcerer, 3 daemons killing rhino and 2 CSM but 1 BM from breaking. BTS retinue back on OW SS assault nearly broken retinue, Only 1 daemon killed - +2 to elder but chaos win roll off by 2. SS broken and retinue broken. Falcons double into centre to threaten aircraft when they leave, Shoots THawk on ground killing it with proximity to elder when broken Ranger screen marches forward
