Haunted Houses Don't Come Easy

(Pictured: Autarch Kayvyn to the Leman Russ Commander) 

I was unable to sow descent among the Imperium commanders. If I were to play this Guiding Fate mission again I would try and hold out until I had some more units that would modify leadership or force out of turn battle shock tests (I'm looking at you Hemlock Wraithfighter/Death Jeste).

Autarch Kayvyn (aka Kevin) and his storm guardians really won the game. I'm going to give 2xp to Kayvyn and 1 to the storm guardians since it was a team effort. It's not official rules, so don't report me to the warhammer police.

(Side note: Kayvyn is an actual name that came up first on the random Eldar name generator website)

I should have the D-Cannon platform ready by the next crusade game, and I have some spare supply to add it to the list. I have a feeling the imperium isn't going to be changing tactics anytime soon.

N/A

Guiding Fate:

Threat level: 7

Destined Device (dawning):

Be it a powerful and ancient relic or the most inconsequential component of a larger machine, a nexus offate whirls about this object. If it remains at large, it will one day become part of a terrible threat.

BURIED PROVENANCE

If the device is never discovered, its perilous potential will never be realised.

Rising Nemesis (Waning):

A hidden foe has been revealed. Though they do not yet realise the peril they will present if left unmolested, will one day endanger the craftworld itself; this must be prevented by any means.

SEVER THE HEAD

The foe are unifying, so we must slay their leaders and create a power vacuum.

Cleanse the Corruption (Waning)

An alien cult, a ravenous swarm, a supernatural plague, a fanatical faith; whatever its nature, some insidious influence is spreading and will render swathes of space dangerous to the Aeldari if it is not halted and destroyed.:

FOLLOW THE TRAIL

The warning may have been lost, but it can still be traced back to its source.

 

Massacre 

Down the vast hills in morning mist cold
Into the peaceful deep valley below.
Two thousand stallions foaming with hate
Carrying their masters towards their fate
Into the battle they ride
Two thousand men too young to die.
Massacre

Coming from each side prepared for attack
Covered in dust clouds now there is no turning back
Once so peaceful valley echoes with cries
Cascades of blood and brains as the midday sun rise
Under a blood red sky
None will live to face the night
Massacre.

Amidst the scattered limbs dead bodies finally comes to peace
While the stench of blood grows strong in the mild midday breeze
Circling the sky the vultures wait to play their part
To descend of wings of death and feast from human hearts
The battle is lost still someone always wins
And now they descend on death's black wings

Massacre 

None of these bitches are getting an MVP.

Spending 2RP on Burned Futures since the next phase of that fate is actually significantly harder.

It is a rare seer who does not perceive contingencies, keeping their grip upon diverging threads of possibility and expending the hopes and dreams they lead to buy time for the realisation of the one fate they truly desire.
