The Walls of Hyperia - Hyperia Hivesprawl

 

Points: 1000.

Deployment and Mission: Dawn of War / Chosen Battlefield.

Primary Objective: Priority Targets.

Detachment: Anvil Seige Force.

Opponents Detachment: Battle Host.


The Aeldari force that had fought it's way across the Vigilus wastelands finally reached the Hyperia Hivesprawl. Having determined that the xenos force was seeking entry, the Rift Wardens and the Sororitas came to a truce, and faced down the aliens.

This battle was part of the revenge plot of the Aeldari. They had come to help against the forces of Chaos only to be targeted by the Imperium as yet another alien threat. The combatants were the Aeldari against the Rift Wardens and the Sisters Sororitas. The battle took place over four days. The first engagement was intended to attract the Rift Wardens out of the city, before they could attempt a decisive offensive.

The Aeldari forces were to capture the Imperial held high group, an escarpment on the north side of the battle grid. This would protect the Aeldari forces from Imperial indirect fire. Supported by a host of wraithguard, the Aeldari captured most of the high ground on the first day. The main line fell on the second day, as did the road into the hive sprawl, once the Aeldari overran a salient against considerable Imperial defence. The final objective, the city gates fell soon after, and the Rift Wardens fell back to defend the streets of Hyperia.
