First Battle of Look Out Point - Pariah Nexus


Points: 3000.

Deployment and Mission: Crucible Of Battle / Hidden Supplies.

Primary Objective: Supply Drop.

Detachment: Gladius Task Force.

Opponents Detachment: Awakened Dynasty.


The Rift Wardens attacked north of Hell's Point, capturing the Necron positions and the roads into the area. Captain Galadhus led his forces along the left flank, capturing the high ground and destroying thousands of enemy warriors. Hhis forces then attacked further south, pushing towards the Necron tomb complex but after three days they failed to capture any new territory.

Galadhus attacked again on the north flank, advancing on the left and gaining more ground. Then the Necrons counter-attacked, stopping the space marine advance. When the space marines took the enemy positions at "Look Out Point" they were in a position to block the enemy counter-attack, forming a boundry between the two forces.

Two days later, the space marines attacked towards the tomb complex and attacked multiple enemy positions, breaking through the Necron defences. Over the next few days, the Rift Wardens hunkered down and they defeated several big enemy counter-attacks. Further attacks though, were stopped by difficult terrain and the appearance of a vast Tesseract Vault.

Necron attacks were suspended at this time in order to bring in fresh warriors from the complex, despite the repeated Rift Warden attacks. The Necrons now reinforced, began to put increasing pressure on the space marines, who met frequent counter-attacks. Despite the initial successes, the battle bogged down into stalemate.
