Opportunistic Strike - Vigilus Wastelands

 

Points: 2000.

Deployment and Mission: Dawn of War / Chosen Battlefield.

Primary Objective: Priority Targets.

Detachment: Gladius Task Force.

Opponents Detachment: Battle Host.


When Imperial forces in the wastelands detected an Aeldari force heading towards Hyperia Hivesprawl, they opened fire and drew themselves into a brief but brutal conflict. The Rift Wardens heavy weapons fire brought down two Wave Serpent transports and forced the Aeldari survivours to take cover in the ash dunes. Not wanting to risk unnecessary casualties, the Aeldari waited until nightfall to attack. Wraithguard reinforcements arrived the following morning, but they discovered the space marines had left a token defence force and largely fallen back to Hyperia. Aeldari jetbikes skimmed the defences cutting down defenders with savage shuriken fire. With the Rift Wardens distracted by the skimmers, a combined force of wraith constructs overran the defences and slew the defending marines, before the alien force continued on their path towards the capitol of Vigilus.
