Revenge Against The Eldar - Battlefleet Gothic Part 8

Again, this battle occurred long ago, so most of the details have been forgotten. Nevertheless, for completeness, here it is.

A Raid Against a (Dark) Eldar battle station

Stinging from the rebuke of Imperial sector command, and seeking vengeance for their defeat in the defence of Glon Station, the Falcon Guard kept an eye out for any opportunity to strike the hated Eldar.

Not long after the Glon disaster, an Eldar orbital station of some sort had materialised near an Imperial world in the sector and begun attacking its population. As soon as this was reported, the Falcon Guard raced to the scene to get their revenge, deploying it's main fleet and Chapter Flagship Mormaer, in addition to escorts and strike cruisers from the patrol fleet.

The Space Marine fleet, including the Battle Barge with Terminators, a standard strike cruiser, a carrier-cruiser (Gathering Storm) and numerous escorts.

And get their revenge they did: destroying the Eldar station in brutal close-in bombardments and boarding, including lucky vital critical hits on the Eldar station's shadowfield generator, which rendered it vulnerable to attacks and Terminator teleport assaults. As it turned out, the Eldar in question were Drukhari, and not the Corsairs who had attacked Glon. However, this was of little consequence, and a victory was a victory. The Flacon Guard were not yet redeemed in the eyes of the sector commander, but they had performed an important duty nevertheless.

The weakness of the Dark Eldar space station was that much of its fleet had to deploy through a webway portal created by the station itself. So when the Falcon Guard destroyed the station, this prevented any more Dark Eldar from coming through.

The Falcon Guard surround and attack the Dark Eldar station.

Prelude to a dogfight.
