Wolves vs Eldar battle report with pictures

Hey guys so today I thought I would try to add some photos to the narrative battle report today’s game, An Eldar Aspect Host attempts to carry out a strike on an imperial Monastery currently defended by a small contingent of Space wolves. 



The space wolves lead by the young wolf Lord Mishvarg have readied themselves for the Eldars attack, Mishvarg and his retinue of grey hunters have set up on the Monasteries Alter to protect the precious relic. The young blood claws chose to leave the protection on the inner chapel and charge the invading force in an attempt to gain glory whilst the other flank it shored up by the monasteries own venerable Dreadnaught

The aspect host advance into the monastery under the cover fire of their scouts

Seeing the invaders approaching on their relic the blood claws and the Dreadnaught charge down the flanks of the battle ready to kill there foe in combat 


The sudden charge of the Space wolves defense caught the elder off guard, the dire avengers and the farseer move back to increase the gap between them and the oncoming warriors, whilst the fire dragons move up to engage the Dreadnaught bearing down on them 

The blood claws where caught in the cross fire of the warp spiders and dire avengers loosing half their number but they carry on with their charge regardless of the casualties. The fire dragons manage to deal significant damage the dreadnaught but it manages to continue walking on.

In Preparation for their assault the blood claws begin firing there blot pistols into the dire avengers to great effect killing all of the dire avengers in one hale of fire 

Unfortunately the space wolves suffer there first major loss as the venerable Dreadnaught is destroyed by a final shot from the fire dragons as it bore down on them 

The Remaining Aspect warriors move to the edges of the inner chapel to open fire on the grey hunters in an attempt to weaken their defences before a final assault into the chapel.

The grey hunters by some divine intervention of the emperor have managed to weather the incoming volley

Seeing that his forces will never be able to out shoot the Eldar warriors Mishvarg orders his men forward into combat leading the change from the front

The blood claws managed to catch the warp spiders and cut them down with their superior combat strength and Mishvarg tears into the swooping hawks 

Seeing two of the aspect warrior squads falling in combat the fire dragons move back into the cover of the building to open fire on the grey hunters as Mishvarg finishes of the swooping hawks

The far seer knowing the battle depends on him entering the fray charges the remaining grey hunters and with a combination of psychic powers, superior speed , and a surprise attack he manages to kill both of them  


As the battle draws to a close Mishvarg continues his rampage by hacking down the fire dragons taking minimal damage from there combat attacks

The farseer emboldened by his success with the blood claws charges Mishvarg, his witch blade failing to damage him, before being cut down by the wolf lord 


with the battle won the Wolves return to the Chapel ready to fight another day
