Rescue! 

Space Marines vs. Eldar

Turn 3:

Storm Lords

Devastator Squad Epsilon arrive on the scene and  unload prepare their heavy weaponry.  Their razorback transport opens fire on the advancing wraithlord, but its' las cannon shots are absorbed by the blocking hill.

The scouts, now fully in position, kill another three of the storm guardians with combined sniper and heavy bolter fire.

The command squad rhino opens up the remaining vyper, smashing it against the ground with a bolt of light energy.

Tactical squad Alpha move forward, and examine the potential artifact at their feet.  Their heavy bolter troop reaches out, and kills two dark reapers caught in the open, negating part of that deadly threat.  

Tactical squad Beta ram their rhino forward into a ruined house, seeking both cover and the missing artifact.  From inside, a melta gun rips out, and separates the twin linked shiruken cannons from the wave serpent.  Beside them, the tornado, now missing a gunner, opens fire on the Dire Avengers that damaged it, killing two in a hail of assault cannon fire.

Craftworld Orkan Baharr

Relentlessly, the Eldar advance. The wraithlord opens fire with its shoulder mounted shiruken cannon, but is unable to damage the rhino in front of it. Similarly, the scatter laser on the guardian platform also comes up empty against the human vehicle. The dark reapers fire at the tac squad in the trees, killing two marines.  With a boost of power, the serpent moves behind the human land speeder, and opens fire on the weak rear armor of the command squad razorback, to no effect.

Another hail of fire reaches out from the remaining dire avengers, their shiruken catapults pinging harmlessly against the land speeder.  With great care the exarch pulls his pistol and takes aim, downing the speeder with a single shot that neatly severs the pilots throat.
