Wraith on wraith

Hello and welcome to anoth narative battle report. My somewhat cobled togeth eldar wraith vs the a necron wraith army.

The craftworld had moved quick there anciant enamy had emerged again. They had come to finish a war started back in time imemorable. Antiant webways burst into life as far see tal'di sped out leeding a squad of the craftworlds wind riders, dehind them raced 3 wave serpents carry all to important wraithguard. The craftworld been unable to spare many of its aspect warriors or guardian deffenders and as such had been forced to awaken the souls of long the long dead.
Backing up the small force where a pair of towering wraith knights that had webwayed into to combat whilst on rout to another conflict. Tal'di new the necron well he had faced them many a time defore and had studdied the text of old. He knew the necron force would be there front link deffence systems mindless canoptek machines led by simple lords awakend to guide the force, he would strike quick and he would strike true, he would not allow the necron to awaken any turther.

Speeding towards the closest unit of wraith, tal'di reached out into the warp to scry the conveluted paths of the future finding the path thqt suited him well her began istracting his wind riders where to shoot. Every shot stuck true damaging the canoptek wraith as if the eldar knew exactly where there enamies week points would be at that exact moment. There alpha stike sucsesfull the jetbikes begant to pull back pursed by the now weekend wraith ,the air shimmered as laser rounds danced through it the decestating fire power of the wave serpents and wrsith knight finished the wraiths allowing Tal'di to make a clean get away.

Tal'di had his judged his enamy, the necron defence system wad being led by 2 destroyer lords, 1 of them lead his squad quickly after the retreating far seer
They perduded there prey relentlessly and managed to catch 1 of the jetbikes shredding the rider to pices with there cold claws. The lord as relentless as he was had not noticed how far out of formation he was, within short reach of the eldar and surrounded on 3 sides the lord was helpless to stop the wraith wrath.

With little prompting as if in some dreamfilled burst of sight the wraithguard had moved to intercept the enamy canoptek wraith. Fogoing there protective transport they marched forward bringing there terable distortion weponry to bear the combined power was to much even for the wraiths shielding and even the lords regeneation thay where taken out of existance in the blink of an eye.

All across the eldar front lines canopteck wraith charged into the silent forms of the wraithguard. There solid forms took the charge with only one of there number killed in the charge. Tal'di and 1 of the wraithknights jummped round the back of the fighting qraith line to attack the exposed necron tanks positioning away from the main battle.
As the necron wraith cut apart the last og the initial wraithguard squad another two turned there guns against them and fired there power still proveing too much for the necron wraith.

Even with the arival of necron warrior reenforcements the wraithguard had wone the battle and althought there wraithbone forms had been damged and scared they themselves where safe. Tal'di gad taken a hit from a stray telsa bolt and his jetbike squad were reduced in number the escaped largly unharmed.

They had wone the battle and destoyed this tomb but who knew how many more would be found on thia world he was growing uneasy the future was clouding ahead of him, the paths once clwar and easy to walk where twisting and crossing, if he listened he could hear a faint chatering and in moments where his eyes closed and the stopped consentrating he saw a great maw oppening before him...

Hope you enjoyed reading this i will try and get a little more detail in next time but im eriting this a couple of days after the game so i cannot remember the details. You get bonus points if you guess who the next oponent is.

This is a battle report between my 750 pts crimson first army and a friends space wolves army ive tried to pitch the battle report in a more narrative way instead of a list of events on a table i hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as i enjoyed writing it.
The story
This early after the battle we have yet to learn the true cause start of the conflict between our own 3rd company and the remnants of the space wolves lead by bjorn fellhanded.
3 razor back armored transports halted at the edge of the town befor proceeding into the open grounds around the lake escorted buy a squad of assault marines, inside the razor backs where the the remnants of tactical squads Alius and Laelius, and a Veteran squad lead buy  Veteran Nerva and joined by the Chapter Master Pedro Cantor himself.
Alius’s Razor back was the first to note the oncoming enemy firing a useless burst form its heavy bolter, Learning of the contact else where on the battle field the other two razor backs searching for contacts and firing a barrage into a near by forest forcing the power armored foes into deeper cover. sensing there surprise attack was lost the enemy force took the offensive sending two land speeders rushing towards squad Alius the first opened a hellish barrage of melta fire destroying the tank and killing a member of the squad instantly as the hot fragments pierced the inner hull of the tank. The second ‘speeder fired a salvo of bolter fire into the squad but thanks to the hull of the transport were able to weather the fire.
Cantor’s own transport took a hit from a lascannon expertly aimed but failing to inflict lasting damage to the tank,  this lascannon shot was followed by plasma rounds from the forest giving away the position of the squad hidden within.
With the position’s of there enemy shown the crimson fist launched into battle, Laelius and Canto charged the position and disembarked from there tanks to bring there bolter fire to bear on the enemy who in a desperate attempt to inflict damage and kill there target the enemy attacked it was only as they charged that Veteran Nerva noticed the markings on the armour showing there foe as space wolves 2 veterans died instantly to the charge subdued by sheer number of attacks but Cantor and Nerva’s power fists tore the grey hunters apart sparing none.
On the far side of the battle field sergeant Alius had taken cover in one of the buildings firing at the closer land speeder damaging its hull before the assault squad lead by sergeant Gaius finished the job with a well aimed shot from the plasma pistol. 
The remaining razor backs sped across the battle field to aid Alius and Gaius but where both destroyed by shots from the unknown lasscanon position. Gaius was the first one to notice the second grey hunter squad emaging from a large rock formation, and sensing the only caurs of action lead the attack on the squad, covered by squad Alius, the assault squad made it to combat although they suffered many casualties and only Gaius himself was left to exact vengeance upon the hunters and fighting with a cold hard fury completely opposed to the blind rage of the wolves managed to kill all but 1 of them before the final surprise of the battle, bjorn the fell-handed lead the attack personally he charged Gaius knocking him away with a single swipe before turning to attack Cantor and the remaining veterans, despite his firepower he was unable to inflict lasting wounds before The arrival of the storm raven gunship from a nearby operation ended the fight forcing any more hidden hunters to fall back. There was no confirmed kill on Bjorn, and the storm-raven managed to carry the 8 surviving marines off the battle filed, it was as the engines fired up that a worn but strong voice came over the radio, Gaius had survived.

there is nothing like the roar of saving engines, the emperors wrath and salvation in one roar”
-veteran sergeant Nevra when asked about the ambush

After the battle sergeants Alius and Laelius were both promoted to veteran sergeants.
