The First Battle

A small skirmish against hostile Dark Eldar. Primus Leodes Exevio Faustus, accompanied by his staff, and a tactical unit broken up into two recon squads, encounters the xenos apparently engaged in combat training.

Turn 1
Not allowing the xenos to gain the initiative, Faustus launches an attack in the name of the Emperor. One decisive rocket hit destroyed the xeno transport killing 4 aboard. Another is cut down before reaching cover. Brother-sergeant Marcus is critically wounded leading the rush into the trees on the right flank.

Turn 2
After advancing to a forward position in a ruin on the left flank, Faustus and his command squad consolidate in the burnt out building and vaporize 5 xeno scum in immolating fires of napalm and plasma. The nimble xenos are fleet and advance quickly on his position attempting to engage in melee. The tactical squad continues to suppress the survivors of the transport and a group of shooters moving up to support. The xenos are in an instant upon Faustus hoping to overwhelm him. Three of his men fall but Faustus' will is as strong as his trust in the Emperor.

Turn 3
The remains of Tac squad Marcus continue to pin down the fighters to the right while missiles rain in from afar. Power amour protects the righteous. It appears their commander is in this group who breaks away and charges forward. The melee continues in the ruin as Faustus smashes xenos with his mighty power fist but is lightly wounded. More brothers fall.
The Dark Eldar are routed as they take major casualties in close combat on the left side. The tactical fire support team devastates them with more missiles as they retreat. Faustus moves to support Marcus' men.

Turn 4
The forward unit on the right fights valiantly, slaying the already wounded from suppressing fire xeno commander, before being destroyed by flanking fighters.

Turn 5
Faustus and the fire team purge the remaining xenos and survey the area while collecting the honored dead.
