The Battle For Computer Terminal DX101: Good vs. Evil Campaign Battle 1 April 5 2014

After the ‘Unusual Alliance’ drove the Daemon and Ork Alliance back, the Chaos Marine forces and Dark Angels quickly turned on each other. With support from the Eldar and a reinforcing Space Wolf army (much to the anger of the Dark Angels) the Chaos Space Marines put up a small fight and left. No one is quite sure why they didn’t fight harder, perhaps they found something they were looking for… The Eldar insisted that the Daemon incursion was being triggered by some device the Orks had uncovered and the whole sector required cleansing, rather than just the planet. The first step was to recover computer data on the sector providing up-to-date strategic information, something the Imperium and Eldar were lacking on this previously forgotten part of space. The only problem was when they arrived they found it was under the control of the Daemons and Orks and they were waiting for them…

Good (Eldar, Dark Angels & Space Wolves) Vs Evil (Daemons of Tzeentch + Khorne, Daemons of Nurgle + Slaanesh & Orks).

Comments by the Evil Forces

Pre-battle thoughts.
We knew we were defending, but nothing more. The idea was to split the 3 armies up to specialize in different rolls. Nurgle Daemons would hold the objective, Daemonettes would protect the back from deep striking terminators or run forward. GUO would provide overall support and take fire. Tzeentch Screamers would rush forward and disrupt the Good forces advance, provide rapid support and hit key targets safe even when exposed and isolated. The Bloodletters for Marine killing. The Orks, Soul Grinder and Horrors would shoot to soften the enemy and the Orks would also provide bodies to take incoming fire. The sheer volume of Ork and Daemon bodies would deny room for deep striking terminators.

Post-battle thoughts.
Basically went to plan, the fact we had to defend a single objective was a big advantage
