Turn 1 - Chaos Marines
Kill Points: Eldar 0 <> Chaos Marine 0
The forces controlling the Chaos Dreadnought immediately fail and the Chaos Dreadnought goes into a Fire Frenzy... at the nearby Defiler! The Defiler attempts to move out of way but caught with a hit from the plasma Cannon which causes the Defiler to explode!

Meanwhile the Raptors and Daemon Prince jump forward and started running forward. The Berserkers and Plague Rhinos drive forward and pop smoke and the Noise Marines drive their Rhino forward and disembark. The Thousand Sons start working to repair their Rhino but were not able to finish repairing.

The Noise Marines fire their Sonic Blasters at the Dire Avengers and manage to kill two of them, but the Obliterators fire their Plasma Cannons into the rest of the Dire Avengers and manage to wipe all them out, leaving only Eldrad by himself. The surrounding Rhinos all fire their weapons at Eldrad but Eldrad stayed healthly for now.

Eldrad uses Fortune on himself and Dooms the Noise Marines and Daemon Prince then goes to run and hide behind the old tower. The Avatar makes his way towards the Chaos Dreadnought while the Wraith Guard and Fire Dragons move to surround the Berserkers' Rhino.

The Fire Prism fires at the Chaos Dreadnought and manages to only stun it. The Fire Dragons fire their meltas at the Berserker Rhino and cause it to explode, taking an Berserker inside with it. The Rangers attempt to pick off the survivors and take out two more and then the Wraith Guard wipe out the rest of the Berserkers but leaving the Chaos Lord alone.

Final Score
Kill Points: Eldar 6 > Chaos Marine 2
Victory for the Space Elves!

Eldar's MVP of the Game: The Chaos Dreadnought
The Chaos Dread Fire Frenzy taking out the Defiler right off the bat saved MANY Eldar lives.

Chaos Marine's quote of the night
"The Chaos Dreadnought can suck it" - Lord Khorne

Sir Rouga's Personal Thoughts
The Chaos Dreadnought fire frenzy was probably the most important thing that could happen for the Eldar. The Defiler would of killed lots of infantry if it wasn't for that. Sad we couldn't finish the game, despite the Eldar winning by many kill points. The Chaos Marines had control over one half of the board and were on their way over to where the Eldar were mostly. A few more turns and the outcome could of been changed completely.
