"The Abomination Mon-Keigh farseer, You have seen them?"

"Yes, but the vision is couldy. Only the planet remains clear. Take Rael's Detachment and destroy them. I only hope I've sent enough."

as the warlock left the presence of his master he heard the following words that forever stuck with him. "The Flux of the warp grows, will we lose our sight?"

Ah a new plant to take.... the thought spread through his mind like bliss and everlasting pleasure. The Gods will be happy. It is however too bad that there are none of those weak minded fools here who pay homage to a vegetable, but from here we will strike!

Alright, so some tactics for my force! The independant characters join their squads and Make a slow advance, picking the time of their assault while receiving cover fire from the wraithlord, Fire prism, and from the dark reapers. The swooping Hawks, and Dire Avengers make a general advance making sure to stay withing range of each other for support to where it is needed and when the time is right, the dire avengers will unleash their nasty Bladestorm upon an unsuspecting foe. I have troops to cover all facets of an opposing army!

Anti-Heavy Infantry, Dark Reapers, Fire Prism, Howling Banshees, Dire Avengers (they are bound to kill something!)
Anti-Light Infantry, Dire Avengers, Swooping Hawks, Fire Prism, Striking Scorpions
Anti-Tank, Fire Prism, Wraithlord
Anti-assault, Howling Banshees, Striking Scorpions
Anti-Character, Wraithlord, Howling Banshees




Good Luck to both parties and thank you both for keeping the battlefield alive. please post your tactics.

[Baron Spikey]

Well tactics wise its a case of securing suitable firing lines for the Havocs so that they can ensure I dominate at least 1 quarter. The Chaos Space Marine squads will move forwards but stay within the Havoc's firing ranges if possible and hunker behind cover in order to avoid the majority of the Eldar's firepower until they get within rapid fire range.

The Raptors are my vehicle/character killers and with such an abundance of cover will be bouncing from place to place hoping to catch an unwary/badly positioned unit. Hopefully with a bit of skill and luck they can bag themselves the Prism but I wont hold out too much hope.

The Terminators, Lord, and Lesser Daemons are my rapid reaction units, of sorts, and will be summoned where ever a quarter looks like:
A) it might fall into the hands of the enemy OR
B) there is only a light enemy presence in a quarter.

Obviously I wont be risking deep striking them without the presence of an Icon nearby. On the last turn or 2 I'll load up the chaos squads with transports if a I think I can snatch a quarter away from those dastardly pointy ears.

Anti-Heavy Infantry: Terminators (CC), Raptors, Havocs, Chaos Lord
Anti-Light Infantry: Havocs, Chaos Space Marines, Lesser Daemons, Terminators (shooting)
Anti-Tank: Raptors, Havocs, Chaos Space Marine/Terminators (if things get desperate or im really lucky)
Anti-Character: Terminators, Lesser Daemons, Raptors
Anti-Infantry Fire Support: Chaos Lord, Terminators, Lesser Daemons

[SteveBerenyi]

thanks for the tactics and keeping the battlefield alive.

[Imperial Commander Gent]

My tactics are in my list posting at the bottom. Now, lets get some votes!!!

[Chaos Lord Horus]

chaos

[Baron Spikey]

you have to give a reason why you believe Chaos will win.

[Imperial Commander Gent]

Yeah Bezerker, why do you think Chaos will win? You not only vote, but you have to tell why!

[Imperial Commander Gent]

Bump! Lets get some votes!

[Word Bearer 81007]

wow this is a rather tough battle to predict.

chaos does bring to well equiped havocs squads that are gonna play hell on all the little eldar that are running across the field. and the three squads of deamons are gonna love all the CC with there invulnerable saves. but i still feel that chaos is lacking that final oomp that usually wins games. the eldar on the other hand have a very well rounded list covering most of the spectrum of an army. i feel that the chaos list is just lacking that final factor to secure a win. the ELDAR for the win due to the fact the 2 troops and the raptors and terminators are just gonna be picked apart leaving the havocs all by themselves to deal with the rest of the army........

[BrainDeleted]

sweet battlefield guys...much improved

chaos

-mobile, daemon meat shield, and too much fire power for the eldar to simply wade through as I think Gent want to do. Baron has enough to wipe out the avengers and such before they get into it..bladstorm don't help when you're dead. The skimmers might not die if they keep going but they won't release their squads then and if a lucky shot gets through everyone is dead...

-thoughts of an out of practice playa...

[Imperial Commander Gent]

So, 2-1 in your favor Baron? Remember guys, those dire avengers probably wont get shot at too much on their way across the field, Baron has plenty of other much deadlier targets! Plus, those skimmers can move over 6" and still drop troopies man! It wont be much of a deal! Also, I think I have enough heavy support firepower to counteract what Baron is throwing about me! I like the way this battle is going so far! Lets keep it up! My compliments on your list Baron!

i dont want to do that so please explain why chaos will win.

[Imperial Commander Gent]

Lets get some more voters here! 1-1 then until we get an explanation! VOTE!

[Baron Spikey]

come on guys there must be someone else who thinks they know who'd win this battle.

[Imperial Commander Gent]

VOTE GUYS AND GALS! You will be thanked!

[Dan296]

wow i never saw this battle. put your battles in your sigs!

Chaos ftw!
havoks will wreak...well...guess. autocannons and missle launchers are both well equipped to take out lightly the armoured eldar vehicles. just one can take out the wraithlord in a lucky round of shooting!

if the fire prisms skims above the hills, then that means that it can be shot at as well, right? if so, it will be dead quite soon as it tries to get a bead on a CSM squad.

dire avengers i dont see doing much, same with the hawks. if the CSM can just keep overlapping feilds of fire, the eldar will be ripped apart.

[Warmaster Romulas]

its a tough call but i have to give a slight edge to the chaos army
i think it is just a bit stonger in the punch
if the eldar could keep him at range and counter any assaults with his Banshees and Scorpions he could take the day but i think 9out of 10 times that chaos list would wipe the walls with that Eldar list

[Imperial Commander Gent]

So, is that making it 2-2?

[Imperial Commander Gent]

2-2 and only 1 week left in the battle? VOTE!

[SteveBerenyi]

And the winner is Baron Spiky in a 3-1 Dicision.

THanks for keeping the field alive

+REP for the baron

[Imperial Commander Gent]

Uh Steve, I had 2 votes.......... and Baron only had 2 votes........... unless we are counting Bezerker for him............

[Baron Spikey]

erm...not to hurt your feelings Gent but excluding Berzerker I got 3 votes, Warmaster Romulas voted Chaos he just didn't high light his vote with a colour change.
The 'Eldar' in the paragraph he wrote was a different colour because 40kTerra automatically does that with certain words to link them to the appropriate Librarium article.

[SteveBerenyi]

baron is correct. i had to read the post to figure it out.

[Imperial Commander Gent]

Ah, I get it! Well fought Baron!
