The setting:[Rules in brief
- A three way battle very loosly based on the broken treaty idea.
- Leaders in the middle around 1 mobile objective (a little warp creature) scatters each turn - 3 victory points.
- 5 strategic statice objectives - 1 victory point each.
- each round roll to see the turn order between players
- If someone kills the warp creature (T2, W1, 2+ inv save) every model takes a strength6 hit - inv saves only AND the other two armies must attack the killer until it it wiped out.

The Peace Treaty was to be signed in the central square of the abandoned city.
The leaders of the three armies met under a truce to decide the fate of the astral warp being that had popped into existence grabbed all their attention. No bigger than a human baby, this little anomaly radiated so much psychic energy that is shone like a beacon through the warp.
The importance of this was not lost on the leader of the
Black Museum Guard who finally saw a chance of recontacting the rest of humanity.
The
Eldar knew more than any other the potential of this innocent little creature. Harnessing such a power would make all their recent casualties worth while.
The
Orks, having received the request for a peace treaty, armed themselves to the teeth and headed out to the Battle Field. Stopping his troops just outside the central square
King Gorg I -
self proclaimed ruler of the planet, turned to his troops, "Now Remember dis is a peace treaty. So I'm gonna go out there and make sure they hit us first". With that he turned his bike towards the human and eldar leaders waiting for him in the cenre of the square.
The Battle Begins:
The truce was broken and all hell broke loose.
The
Humans struck first. Parked on the outskirts of the city square, the heavy artillery tank units let fly a barrage of plasma and flame, aimed at the ork Deffkoptaz that had risen from behind some of the ruined buildings.
The Eldar, seeing the treaty break down, moved with order and precision to secure the town square and capture the warp creature. A unit of
Swooping Hawks took to the skies to gain a better vantage. The
Ork Leader let out a battle cry and kicked his bike into gear heading straight for the humans tanks.
The orks focused on the big prizes - the tanks. Buzzkoptaz buzzed and dropped like flies around the metal hulks, distracting them whilst
King Gork I - Ruler of the Planet smashed into them with his powerClaw. From distance a well concealed
Shokk Attak Gun aided the destruction of the tank force.
The tank supporting infantry units were under heavy fire from a squad of eldar
Dire Avengers, who were securing one of the corners of the city square, being joined by their JetBike mounted leader, returning from the failed parley. The large remainder of the eldar force, backed up by a
Wave Serpent, maneuvered to take the neighbouring corner in a move that would give them control over one end of the city square. Hiding in the Rubble, the
Fire Dragons made short work of one the
Ork Trukks heading towards them, leaving the boyz they were carrying scrambling for cover. The other trukk met a similar fate as a squad of
warp-spiders materialized briefly to cause havoc before disappearing back into the void.
With the rest ork force occupying the human tanks the eldar plan was going smoothly.
The Tide Turns:
Human reinforcements arrived.
From the skies dropped the
Valkyrie, guns blazing. It came down behind the main Eldar force, who had the stranded Ork foot soldiers pinned down, and destroyed the Wave-Serpent and it's passengers. The Eldar Fire-Dragons were also caught in the massacre, and in on swift attack the Eldar battle plan had been demolished, and two thirds of it's force was wiped out.
In the opposite corner of the city square, two out of the three human tanks were now destroyed or immobilised thanks to the Ork Warboss battle fury and the now fallen Deffkoptaz. But the arrival of a fourth tank heralded a new trouble as a squad angry
Ogryns trundled down the back ramp. Surrounded by two tanks and three Ogryns, King Gorg's self imposed rein seemed to be coming to an end. And it would have had it not been for the Eldar.
Desperate MeasuresSensing defeat the Eldar forces turned their attention to the warp creature, attacking it with everything they had. Better destroy the thing than let it fall into enemy hands. The
warpspiders deathspinners ripped through the creatures flesh. With its dying breath it let out an infant like scream as a massive psychic shockwave tore across the battle field crashing through the minds of each unit. The result was devastating. Gretchin heads exploded, Ork bodies slumped, human screams filled the air and Eldar warriors writhed uncontrollably before becoming motionless.
Over two thirds of the forces on the battle field were now lying motionless. And those remaining had lost their senses. Both Human and Ork both turn their full attention to the remaining Eldar with an unnatural bloodlust – a departing gift from the warp creature to its killer, its dying anger amplified in the minds of its killer’s enemies. The remaining Eldar did not last long and their small squadron, lead by a figure on a Jetbike, were wiped out by the Human Commanders body guards dying blow.
With the death of their common enemy the remaining armies minds cleared, and both sides focused re-focused on each other Amidst the confusion, the Ork Warboss had re-grouped with the rest of his
biker mob and raced full speed into the centre of the square, away from the the danger of the tanks, which turned their attention to vapourizing the Mek Carrying the
Shokk Attak Gun.
Despite the valkarye transporting the squad of veterans to a strategic position in a ruined building on the outskirts of the squre, and the attempts of the Ogryn squad to stop them, the Ork biker gang swiftly dispatched the human leader and allowing the remaining ork boyz to secure the square.
The humans had no choice but to pull out and leave the city to the Orks
