Mission: Annihilation
Deployment: Dawn of War
The two squads of guardians and Maugan Ra were joined on the table by no less
than three skimmers. Wave serpents surged up both flanks, containing scorpions
on the left and fire dragons & farseer (in a falcon) as well as dire avengers on the
right. Eldar missiles rained down on one of the units of fire warriors, killing one.
The shooting phase started with the broadsides targeting the fire dragon falcon,
however all they could do was shake the crew up a little, rune stones no doubt
playing a part. El Quixo advanced into range of guardians but his frag projector
skewed wildly off target. The fire warriors couldn’t see any Eldar units in the
darkness.

Opposite El Quixo, the dire avengers disembarked and bathed him in shuriken,
but thanks to his iridium armour he took no wounds. The fire dragon transport
was blurred by movement as it threatened the broadsides on the right.
T2
With the benefit of El Quixos posi relay and the pathfinder homing beacon, the
stealth suits shimmered into existence behind the guardian gunline, riddling the
unit with burst cannon shells, decimating their numbers. They were wiped out by
a volley of markerlight-guided fire from the fire warriors.
The devilfish engaged the rear armour of the
scorp transport but didn’t have the punch to do
damage.
E3
The fire dragons leapt out of their transport, their meltaguns turning 2 of the
broadsides into liquid, leaving only one of the three standing. The scorpions
assaulted the pathfinders and annihilated them, following up almost on top of
the fire warriors. Maughan Ra decimated the steath suits, killing 3 and blowing
2 marker drones out of the sky. The guardians with combined missile fire
inflicted 3 casualties on the fire warriors nearest the farseer, causing them to
flee. The Quixo-avengers combat was drawn.
T3
Crisis team Q-guard deep-struck in close proximity of the scorpions. With the
markerlight guides of the fire warriors, the subtle hunting skills of the suits were
enhanced, and the unit of 10 scorpions was enveloped in a deadly hail of fusion
blaster and plasma rifle fire. The fleeing fire warriors rallied and riddled the
farseer/fire dragon unit, killing 4 of the 5, but they held firm. The broadside
targeted an Eldar transport and finally succeeded in disabling it. The stealth
suits were out of range so jet-packed toward the Quixo-avenger combat which
was drawn yet again after 1 wound each.

E5
The farseer cast fortune on himself and his fire dragon guard, also guiding the
Eldar falcon. The tank decimated the remaining fire warrior unit, who held firm.
The fire dragon missed his crucial shot against the remaining broadside, so the
farseer took matters into his own hands, assaulting the broadside and slaying it
with his witch blade! Elsewhere on the table, the guardians moved into range of
the crisis team who vanquished Maughen Ra, inflicting two wounds with their
shuriken weaponry.
T5
The bane of
scorpions crisis team
let rip on the farseer
and his fire dragon,
along with the
remaining fire
warriors, however
incredibly neither
was killed.
With this
unacceptable result,
the crisis team
assaulted, but their
attacks were clumsy.
In contrast, the farseer nimbly leapt between them and scored a wound on the
team leader, panicking the rest so that they fled. This horrible mistake was their
doom, as they were cut down by the farseer. Disaster for the Tau!

T6
In a desperate final move, the devilfish tried to tank shock the guardians in the
forest but the Eldar reacted quickly, turning their missile launcher on it and
immobilising it! El Quixo fired his frag launcher at a guardian unit bunched up
in the forest. Unlike turn 1 his aim was true, vanquishing a dozen Eldar but
leaving the warlock standing. With this last act, the battle was over.
