Apocalypse on Umbral Void: Battle of Blood Mesa (Part 2)

Continued from Part 1








E2 - The eldar forces again lashed into the marine bikers blasting them sky high, but also realized the danger of the typhoon Landspeeders and shot down as many as they could. The revenant, seeking venegence for the knight titan blasted at the devastators. The shooting was furious with the ravenwing taking heavy casaulties, and the High command getting lit up from heavy dark eldar shooting. Then Dr. Farnsworth and the Autarch, their eyes gleaming with the thought of taking vengence on Azreal prepared to charge, the autarch reached Azreal who bellowed a challenge, but before the coven of the black heart could charge in to support him time ran out! Saved by the bell!







M2 - Marine reserves arrive. Attack bikes fly on from the flanks and Deathmarine dreanaughts drop from the sky. The marines slowly advance and the librarius arrives. With Dark eldar reavers bearing down, the deathmarines reveal a minefield on one flank near their objective but, little do they know it will not help against the skilled riders of the Dark eldar! Unthinking (though it did not effect the battle) we also issue the trophy kill on the autarch's head. Two attack bikes reach the eldar back field and fire on the revenant rear armor (10) but only hit its holo-projections, while a dreadnaught removes a single HP. a few raiders are blasted from the sky, but the marines can't put much of a dent in the eldar forces. The battle continues between the autarch and Azreal, but each can do nothing to the other.






E 3 - Determined to mulch every single bike the ravenwing continues to take a beating from the wave serpents, who also position themselves for taking objectives. while the revenant fires on something? to not much effect. venoms also pour in the pain. the wraith knights clean up an entire flank with distortion cannons and beasts rise up to meet the attack bikes near the revenant. Then Dr. Farnsworth charges and the terrible fury of the Dark Eldar is unleashed. The Dark Angel Masters are charged by 4 squads! wiches, heamonculi, grotesques and all boosted by the presence of a Talos pain engine. The Dark angels are outnumbered at least 3 to 1. All the captains end up in challenges, with grotesques, hamoculi, and others while azreal must content himself with kexiao, whos good luck holds and he flees the scene with a hit and run. Meanwhile the reavers charge at the nearby tactical squad but dont realize that the battle company recieves 12" supporting fire, and counter attack! the reavers and marines are locked in a desperate combat.






M3 With their enemies swirling all four captains and azreal declare their finest hours (but I forget about rolling on the exemplar chart! ArrrggH!) The last few remaining bikes and speeders desperately attempt to claim objectives while the marines battle furiously all over the field capt. ranuk also sends his his forces to battle reavers. Menwhile the revenant is charged by furioso who carves it up with a chain fist for 5 hull points causing it to go supernova.
Break 2 score 9-8 marines. The destruction of the revenant  made the difference, but its still close with each team claiming a backfield objective for six points a piece but each team using a strategem.

Can the Eldar pull back infornt having decimated the Dark angels thus far? Or will the Dark Angels hold on?
