Praxedes looked down at the artefact, it looked tiny and fragile in his gauntlet. It looked like bone and glowed with an ethereal light from within. Every square millimetre was covered in tiny runes that appeared xenos in origin. He carefully placed it back in its stasis container and mag-clamped it to his belt. Too many of his brothers had died for this trinket. Too many had died for his personal honour. He silently rued the day he had bent his knee to the Inquisition. He cursed himself for needing their aid and thus being in their debt. Now the debt was to be exacted and honour demanded he answer that call. After all, what was a man, an Astartes, without honour? But too many had died and the responsibility was his and his alone. He was the Chapter Master and the Spartan Legion was his responsibility. Every starship, every Astartes, every servitor. When the Inquisitorial summons had arrived he had come as bidden with a small strike force drawn from the reserve companies. It seemed a trivial errand and not wanting to forsake the Legions other commitments he had sped to the Mistra system with barely fifty Battle Brothers. Too few to prosecute a xenocidal war of annihilation but enough for the mission they had been given by the Inquisition.

The eldar units for this mission all gained the infiltrate special rule but no vehicles could be deployed as it would be to easy to spot so the farseer will call upon the reinforcements as required.
Convoy on route
Turn 1 (Eldar) The Spartans fail to spot the low moving eldar (Fail to seize the initiative) and now the trap is sprung! The Jetbikes move up 12″ to get a lock on the centurions.
Turn 1 (Spartans) The chapter master detaches himself from the unit of terminators to make a break for the defence line!
Turn 1 (Spartans) FOWARD YOU DOGS! The Lord commissar, in charge of the first imperial defence line, watches on helplessly toward the slaughter of the space marines he radios in for back up but will they arrive in time?
Turn 2 (Eldar) The farseer calls in the wave serpent carrying the wraith guard to attempt the killing blow towards the chapter master! The wave serpent fired determined
Turn 2 (Spartans) Keep Moving! The guard move up with their lord commissar to cover the chapter masters advance.
Turn 3 (Eldar) Lucky rolling for once… the trees proved to obscure the guard enough to only see 5 out of 9 die.
Turn 4 (Eldar) The wraith guard move up and fire their wraith cannons towards the rhino… boom?
