The Patriarch

I've had the broodcoven for a while and the Patriarch has been sitting on my pile of shame a bit unloved for a while. With the Genestealer cult army recruiting more troops I need to get him off the dust pile and looking more serviceable.

Death Tempters vs Drukhari patrol

Another 500pt game same Drukhari force versus a new opponent using 8th rule set some time ago.

 The Death Tempters. 

The battlefield was setup with a single storey centre building and two larger double storey buildings in each deployment zone. Units placed on top of those can see the whole field. On the ground the centre building blocks Line of sight. Centre building was the objective. 

Space Marine Turn 1.

 The Space Marines went first  Cautious shuffling to get good lines of fire apart from the dreadnought who stomped forward with the Captain following up to keep the re-roll bubble for it and the troops behind shooting up the kabalites on their tall building opposite them. Murderous fire destroyed 9 of them leaving just the dark lance left. 

Drukhari turn 1. 

 The Reavers jumped forward looking to take out the dread with their blasters helped by the dark lance and all three missed or bounced off the Dreadnoughts toughness. The Reavers tossed themselves into the Reivers (?) to try and hold them up and paid the butchers bill despite the T5 drugs. The two squads of wytches and Archon moved up to the centre. One squad held tactically back for the counter charge if needed.

Space Marine Turn 2. 

 It started to go from bad to worse for the elves as the Reivers backed up and let the Dreadnought annihilate the Reavers after first shooting them with its assault cannon and the follow up charge with its fist.

 The stalker bolt rifles finished the dark lance and the Talos started taking fire from the heavy bolter half of the tac squad. 

The flamer tac squad held and dared the wytches to come at them. 

Drukhari Turn 2

 With the dreadnought now pushing the left flank the talos moved to engage it a lock that heavy shooting down. The elves only had blast pistols to take him and little else. The Archon got caught out of position and couldn’t fire. The hexatrix took just one wound off of it with her pistol before diving to the left and charging into the flamer squad to try and avoid the assault cannon ripping her to bits next turn. The Archon failed his charge leaving the two remaining wytches now in combat screwed. The dreadought and the Talos had a brief fight where the it failed to do anything again and the Dreadnought just crushed its skull removing its tragic life from the world of tears.

Space marine Turn 3.

 The Dreadnought then proceeded to stomp around the central building and laid waste to the second squad of wytches looking to support the first and hold the Marines off the central objective. The Reivers advance moved. Ready to charge in and take it and the Captain moved forward too. The wytches held in there against the tac marines and the reivers were unable to fire on the Archon as the wytches were closer and in combat.

Drukhari Turn 3.

 The Eldar had two models left.

 The final insult both blast pistols failed to do anything and the Archon swept in looking to take as many mon keigh with him as he could. Although he dropped a Reiver. The Captain heroically intervened and the Reivers took out his shadowfield leaving him on a +5 up save. The Captain made short work of him and the tac sergeant finished the Wytch. A wipe in 3 turns for the dark kin.
