Turn 1 (Continued)
Strategy roll: Biel-Tan
The Farseers see death staring them in the face and choose a risky gambit from the threads of Fate? the Windriders engage Monolith 8, though this allows for support from Monolith 9 and places a single Jetbike in range of Monolith 6, but with the support of both Guardian Warhosts?
The Eldar take out the Obelisk, losing 2 Bikes in the process? and then the support fire? Monolith 6 has no targets anymore, and Monolith 9 can only target the two Vypers, taking one out? but the Eldar support fire annihilates the lone Monolith, breaking Monolith 9 and placing a Blast marker on Monolith 6.
Aspect Warhost 2 then engages Monolith 5, manoeuvring to allow at least a little support fire from all the other non-broken Monoliths nearby.
Monolith 5 gets its full eight attacks? hits times? and all are saved? the Eldar fight back and take out both Necron death machines? also breaking Monoliths 3, 4 and 6, and placing a Blast marker on Monolith 2. The broken Monoliths move away from the Eldar thinking "Better luck next time!"
Swords of Vaul 2 advances on Monolith 2, trashes the Obelisk and breaks this formation as well.
In a fit of mechanical pique, Pylon sustains fire on the Revenants? and eliminates one of the graceful Titans! The survivor, sobbing like a baby, moves out of line of sight of the other Pylon. (WOOHOO!)
Phalanx 2 engages Aspect Warhost 2 by emerging from the Portal of broken Monolith 2. It's a brutal fight, the Necrons lose both Wraiths, the Tomb Spyder and two Warriors, but they also manage to scythe down all the Eldar except a Dire Avenger Exarch and the single Wave Serpent he flees in!
Seeking revenge, Aspect Warhost 1 emerges from the Wraithgate to engage Monolith 1! Two Shining Spears each tag the Monolith and Obelisk, while one of the Swooping Hawks moves to get the broken Phalanx 2 into support range.
The Aspect Warriors lose a single Shining Spear, wiping out the Necron menace to the Webway and causing another Warrior of Phalanx 2 to fade away.
Swords of Vaul 1 has a hard time deciding what to do, but the Autarch orders them to double against Monolith 6? and they take out the enemy formation.
Phalanx 3 emerges from broken Monolith 3 to engage Aspect Warhost 1. Three Warriors go down, but only the Autarch survives to flee the Harvest!
Phalanx 4 engages Guardian Warhost 2 by exiting the Portal of Monolith 9? the Farseer and 1 Guardian are killed, but the tenacious Eldar fight back taking out 3 Warriors? and the Pariah! The rest of the Necrons fade away as the Eldar win overwhelmingly in resolution. *SIGH*
The Shields of Vaul advance on Monolith 7? and take it out.
Phalanx 1 makes an appearance to engage Sword of Vaul 1, losing a single Warrior and wiping out the Fire Prisms and Firestorm!
Guardian Warhost 1 fires on Monolith 4? and takes it out.
Pylon 2 goes on overwatch.
Guardian Warhost 2 marshals and clears all Blast markers?
End of Turn:
Broken Necron formations fade away? but all successfully rally in the "afterlife".
The Autarch fails to compose himself and sits in a sulk on his Jetbike?
