Dark Eldar Deployment
This is my usual set up in Pitched Battle. Hellions at front set up to get cover save, with Haemonculus joined for PT. Baron in close proximity with wracks for PT. Everything else either hidden or getting cover from Hellions.

Chaos Deployment:
Set up Oblits in ruins on their right, M/L havocs in open between ruins and A/C havocs in ruins in middle of their deployment zone. 1 PM unit and 1 CSM unit set up behind each set of ruins and the DP was behind the middle ruin. PM’s are in the red and green rhinos.

Dark Eldar 1st Turn
Everything advances. Baron takes PT from Haemi and joins Hellions who take PT from wracks. Along with the free PT from drugs they are now fullycharged (FnP, FC and fearless). 2 Warrior and 1 trueborn Venom flat out to my RH flank, the other venoms move to the left of the central building and everything else moves to line up shots.

Trueborn on LH side kill 1 oblit. Warrior venom kills 1 M/L havoc. Wych raider misses PM (red) rhino. Trueborn venom kills 1 M/L and 1 CSM from the havoc squad. A ravager kills another CSM.
8 hellions shoot at A/C havocs, 6 wounds, Icon bearer dies along with 2 A/C havocs. The final 2 Ravagers wipe out the A/C havoc squad. There really was some awful saving throws here. Pic above shows results of DE 1st turn
CSM 1st Turn.
DP fails his warptime roll on 11.
DP jumps over the ruin. All rhino’s advance and the CSM and PM squad from the central rhino’s disembark. All rhinos pop smoke (white die).

PM’s kill 2 trueborn, lots of misses. CSM’s shoot the Hellions, wound 11 but only kill 4 (3+ cover and FnP).
M/L Havoc hits and penetrates Ravager, but FF saves. Oblits fire 2 Lascannons at warrior venom, 1 Pen and 1 Glance. Pen saved and glance gets stunshocked. TB passes his Ld check
Dark Eldar Turn 2
Hellions advance again. Warrior venoms flat out again to flank chaos on their LHS side. Wych raider moves to hide behind central building. Warriors jump out stunshocked Venom and everything else moves to line up shots.

1 ravager fails to wound oblits. Lone trueborn kills 1 oblit. Disembarked warrior squad fails to wound remaining oblit. Trueborn venom kills Icon bearer of M/L havoc squad. Hex rifle misses DP.
Full trueborn squad shoot CSM rhino in centre but saved by smoke. Both Ravagers target DP and he fails 4, 4+ inv saves and dies. Hellions shoot CSM’s and kill 1. Trueborn venom kills another CSM. M/L havoc passes Ld.
The Baron and Hellions charge into the disembarked CSM squad and wipe them out

CSM Turn 2
PM’s jump out rhino and pistol and melta warriors, they kill 2. The rhino kills the single remaining trueborn. The M/L havoc stunshocks the ravager he can see. The oblit shoots plasma at the trueborns venom and immobilises it.
The other PM rhino moves to allow the PM’s to advance on the Hellions. They shoot pistols and kill 1 hellion. The rhino kills another. The CSM rhino shoots and kills 2 trueborn. The other CSM rhino fires it’s havoc launcher at the Hellions and kills 2 more. All Ld checks are passed.

Both PM units assault in. The unit assaulting the Hellions lose 2 but kill 5 and another 2 hellions fall to fearless rule. The warrior unit is wiped out by the PM’s assaulting them.

Dark Eldar Turn 3
All Dark Eldar units close in on the CSM.
The immobilised venom kills the final M/L havoc. The warrior venom puts 5 wounds onto the final oblit, he fails 2 and dies.
1 Ravager targets the CSM rhino and blows off the Havoc launcher, another Ravager stunshocks the red PM rhino. The Wyches and heami pile out the raider, it shoots and misses the PM rhino. The Heami liquefies 1 PM.

[/img]
Single Trueborn stunshocks the CSM rhino. Warriors jump out and join the Hellion and PM combat
[img]
[/img]
Wyches and Heami assault the other unit of PM’s, which ends with neither side causing any wounds.
The combat between the Baron etc, ends with the PM’s killing 1 hellion. Everybody passes Ld or armour saves, and for some reason the Baron decides to hit and run.

[/img]
CSM Turn 3
The green PM rhino and CSM rhino gun down the Baron and the Last hellion.
In combats, the Wyches and heami lose by 1 against the PM’s but hold. The warriors lose to the other PM unit by 3 but also hold.

Dark Eldar Turn 4
Dark Eldar move around to target and blow up as many rhinos as possible.

CSM rhino explodes from ravager fire. 1 CSM dies in explosion. All 5 venoms now shoot at the remaining CSMs and kill them all.
The wych raider immobilises the red rhino. Everything else misses.
In assaults the 2 warriors are killed by the PM’s. The Wyches kill 1 PM who do nothing in return.
CSM Turn 4
CSM rhino shoots but does not wound the single trueborn left. PM’s shoot the ravager with plasma guns and only manage to get a can’t shoot result.
In combat the PM’s and Wyches each do 1 wound. No pics here
Dark Eldar Turn 5

The crater represents the CSM rhino that was destroyed in the previous DE turn.
All Everything that can targets the PM unit in the open, they are wiped out. Nothing else dies to shooting. In combat the Wyches lose by 1 but once again hold.
CSM turn 5
The green PM rhino shoots and kills 2 warriors, they pass Ld. The Wyches and PM’s fail to hurt each other again.
