Turn 1 Left Flank Detail
Beastmen storm into the forest to claim an objective while Exarchs swoop into a building claiming another objective at the opposite side of the board. IG heavy troops charge up into the buildings. Jetbikes take up position at the centre of the board but are pounced upon by a commissar. He pays a heavy price for his arrogance, being slain by the bikes he attacked.

Turn 1 Centre Flank Left Detail
Shadowsword tanks and Tempests exchange fire at opposite ends of the board, while the Eldar titan evades huge amounts of fire from Banebaldes, Predators and the Leviathan. The Tempests take out the Shadowsword's company HQ, causing absolute havok to the IG battle plan.
Meanwhile, the Eldar titan's deadly pulsars knocks down all of the Leviathan's shields but the battle-fortresses' armour stands up to the additional shots than strike the hull.
Predator tanks punish the Vyper jetbikes who have ventured too far into IG territory, but Tempests take revenge by pummelling the company...

Turn 1 Centre Flank Right
More heavy troops take up postition in a towering bulding, supported by vindicators and an entire rough rider company. A squadron of grav tanks while Eldar guardians spill out of their transports. They are probably feeling apprehensive at the size of the force bearing down upon them...

Turn 1 Right Flank
Ogryn move into woods to pick up another objective while more jetbikes capture another one in the craters. More IG bikes pile up to attack the objective and then tempests deep in Eldar territory (out of shot).

Turn 1 POV shot: Eldar Warlock Titan and Jet Bikes are faced with a strange-looking Predator Company (left, on the hill), Baneblade and Shadowsword super-heavy tanks, and most alarmingly (from the Eldar perspective), something that looks a bit like a Leviathan battlefortress.
The Titan pummels the Leviathan's shields while the bikes grab the objective...

Exarchs and beastmen go to battle! Predicatbly the beastmen take casualites against these fearsome Eldar troops... but the beastmen manage to take one of them with them! The IG player rejoices with a cry of "Die you filthy winged scum!"

Turn 2 Centre Left Flank
Eldar jetbikes pounce upon Baneblades, failing to remember that they have a huge arsenal of cannon and a umpteen bolters (which seem to be missing in NetEpic Gold stats!) to protect themselves against such an attack! They take incredible losses as a result...
The Leviathan focusses all firepower upon the titan, it's Doomsday Cannon ignoring the refractor field and causing a massive explosion in the Titan's head (yes, with NE Gold the barrage would have scattered). Grav Tanks make the Leviathan pay by blowing the praetorian's bridge apart, bringing the it to a grinding halt...
Fortunately for the Imperial Guard, the Eldar fail to order their Tempests! Major blunder!!!

Turn 2 Centre Right Flank
More jetbikes swoop upon the "Predators" but again suffer a heavy price. Grav tanks pop up to hit the remaing Predators hard, while Vindicators return fire. Meanwhile, rough riders charge at guardians and grav tanks, but once again several are cut down as they launch their suicidal action. Those that get through tear the Guardians and Grav Tanks to shreds...

Jetbikes attack IG bikes, but are pounced upon by Orgyns, while other Jetbikes take on a detachment of Rough Riders... A commissar steals an objective in the craters, while yet more IG bikes attack Tempests! Carnage!!!

Turn 2 close-up
Daft Jetbikes and Vypers attack the Baneblades... But some smarter Vypers have a better chance against the orderless Shadowswords.
