Week 5! And stuff is really starting to happen now. For my Chaos it was basically just recovering from the clash with Eldar last week. The Eldar in turn suddenly found themselves between two armies, both choosing to attack at the same time (scroll down to see a recap of that big three-way battle)! Space Wolves from one side trying to expand their territory to the south finding Eldar in their path, and the Adepta Sororitas making a bolder move trying to steal an area from the Eldar. Meanwhile the Orks sneak up behind the Battle Sisters, taking advantage of their distraction. The Blood Angels also decided it was time to act in the campaign and used their dropships to go behind Chaos lines, I have been expecting this however and hence has a fortified HQ ready and waiting.
But on to the lists!

The Battle
I didn't write a battle report for the three-way battle but I took some pictures. It was The Relic with some adaptations to three players.
I'll let the pictures tell the story.
 |
| Deployment and such. The Eldar went first, followed by Space Wolves and in true un-gentleman fashion the Battle Sisters went last. |
 |
| After blowing up the Cannoness and Death Cult Assassins Land Raider in turn 1 for first blood (and the Spaces Wolves Land Raider in turn 2) the Wraithguard swooshed up and let them taste D-scythes. They didn't like that much. |
 |
| Meanwhile the Space Wolves advanced on their side. |
 |
| Because everything is Scoring now. Fancy! |
 |
| This Relic was obviously a hat. And the Flying Container is super-reinforced with rubber bands to make sure it survives the pressure in the atmosphere. |
 |
| Seraphims make a ballsy Deep Strike and land spot on! |
 |
| This used to be a Wave Serpent. It took a melta to it's face from the squad to the left. It used to be 10 models strong... |
 |
| Did anyone say Pie Plate? |
So it quickly became quite clear that this was a two versus one battle, the Imperium had decided to get rid of the pesky Xenos. The Eldar however wisely decided to retreat into a corner with ruins. Combine this with the Shrouding Psychic Power and the superb shooting of Eldar and you end up with an annihilated Adepta Sororitas army. The Space Wolves on the other hand was rather untouched since they were always so far from the action. Only the Bikes and Stormwolf saw any real action. On the other hand they also grabbed the Relic early on and managed to hold on to it to the very end! With a Linebreaker as well they managed to take a win!
The after battle results were quite devastating for the Sisters of Battle, loosing a majority of their units. The Eldar on the other hand was barely touched, just a few Guardians remained dead on the battlefield. So despite losing the Scenario they managed to accomplish their goal by pushing the Adepta Sororitas off their hex while remaining at full force and gathering a lot of experience points for their Characters. The Space Wolves won the battle and claimed the hex for themselves without taking any significant losses, so should be able to bounce back rather quickly!
Next week?
So what happens now? These results did leave us in a rather interesting situation on the map. The Adepta Sororitas strangely enough gained a better defensive position to fend off the Orks by loosing, but as their army suffered pretty badly, will the be able to? The Eldar basically got a time-out as they were knocked back all the way to their HQ, so now they can bide their time and make new plans. Unless of course the Space Wolves feel confidence after their fresh victory and wants more? The Blood Angels in their bold attack against Chaos... will they press on and try to take the HQ as well? Suddenly we have conflicts on all fronts! Just the way it should be.
