For the greater good!

It was the most disgusting field of battle imaginable. Slime dripped from every branch, a river of sludge flowed through the center. The reak was horrible. They had been hidden in position for a week waiting for this moment. This was their chance to make good their strike. It was a chance to wreak havoc upon the foe before battle even commenced, then they would quietly fade into the background. There was the signal, they opened fire. One salvo, no more, and then gone. Before the foe knew what was happening the Broadside stumbled, wounded. Across the field other shots rang out, targeting anyone that stands alone. The Changer of Ways had aided his pleasure seeking brother, had changed the tide ever so much, and put into motion yet another thread in the unfathomable scheme.


Turn 1
Dark Angels- Opening with a strike of their own, the Dark Angels call in an Orbital Bombardment, deep in the Necron zone, wounding the Lord and knocking 10 Immortals and 10 Warriors to the ground. In a flash of teleporters the Deathwing arrives. A squad in the Necron zone takes down 2 more Immortals, and a a squad in the Tau zone kills 2 Firewarriors.
Blood Angels- Deciding that the Dark Angels have the Necron and Tau threats handled, the Angels of Sanguinius open fire on the Tyranid leviathon. After unleashing everything they had, the Heirophant had sustained a pair of deep wounds.
Tyranids- In retaliation of the Blood Angels' fire, the Tyranids destroy a Vindicator and immobilise the Storm Raven, though the Hive Tyrant becomes intangled in the slime.
Chaos Space Marines- In an attempt to move across the river of sludge, the Slaaneshi Rhino becomes irevocabley mired, the squad inside continueing on foot. The Raptors have no such problem as they gun their packs and fly over the terrain, and into a squad of Firewarriors and the wounded Broadside, killing 4 Firewarriors. The Obliterators open fire upon the Tervigon, hoping to stave the flow of gaunts, but only cause a single wound.
Tau- The Tau line turns upon the Deathwing, killing 4, while the Area Denial Node explodes another Chaos Rhino in a shower of promethium and Warp power.
Necron- Leaving the opposite Deathwing squad stunned and 3 dead, the Necrons rise to their feet in majority.

Turn 2
DA- The main Dark Angel force knocks 3 more immortals to the earth, and wound the Lord. Across the way, the other squad lays 2 more Firewarriors to rest. The Deathwing that remained in the charged into an Immortal squad of 8, this time eing sure that they would not rise again.
BA- With a crack of thunder a Landraider crashes to the ground, while the Stormraven's cargo disembarks for battle. Behind the Heirophant another squad of Assault Marines scream to earth. They newly arrived firepower is no aide in taking down the Heirophant, who stunns the incoming Dreadnought. The Librarian Dreadnought fails to wound, but Mephiston has no trouble, inflicting 2 wounds. The Heirophants Spore Cloud lay low 2 Assault Marines.
Nids- A Mawloc climbs from the bed rock thrashing into a squad of Firewarriors killing 10. Trygon rises to threaten the Chaos Obliterators, while the Heirophant expels its deadly at the Blood Angels long range Dread cutting its legs out from under it and removing a gun. The Hive Tyrant extrecates itself and shots aa Assault Marine dead. The Zoanthrope steps from its Spore Pod and stuns the Land Raider, but the Landraiders extra armour pays off. Heirophant charges the Librarian Dread, immobolising it, while the Hive Tyrant assaults the Assault Marines killing 5, but taking 2 wounds, in its fury, it slays 2 more.
Dark Angels make a tactical withdrawal.
CSM- The Chaos Sorcerer and his squad of lightning Terminators flank march into the Tyranid zone, sights set upon the Tervigon. The Sorcerer uses lash to move a squad of gaunts into some slime covered ruin. Unleashing some unrighteous jams, some Noise Marines slay a squad of Sniper Drones. While across the hill another squad proves that Zoanthropes are deaf. The Obliterators fire their Lascannons as they charge into the Trygon causing 4 wounds before falling. The Raptors charge into the Mawloc and the Firwarriors, losing 1 to the Mawloc and 2 to the Tau.
Tau- Contrails streak all across the sky as the Tau wreak havoc upon the field, wrecking a Blood Angels Librarian Dreadnought, immobolising another Blood Angel Dreadnought, and wounding a Zoanthrope. The Hammerhead fires a submunition blast into Lucius the Eternal's Noise Marine squad but the Spore Towers interfere with targeting and the shot goes wide. A Node's submunition is much more effective, killing 2 Noise Marines from another squad. The Raptors manage to kill a Firewarrior, while the Daemon Prince is able to slay another with his sword.
Cron- A Monolith appears, and warriors walk from its portal, while its particle whip kills a Broadside and stuns a Node. The other Monoliths arc kills a Firewarrior and an entire Sniper Drone squad. The Necron Lords squad teleports, and finds itself way out of position, but still manages to stun the Skyray. The Monolith wounds the Trygon.

Turn 3
BA- The Blood Angels Stormraven opens up with its assault cannon and wounds the Heirophant. The Ladnraider Crusader also fired upon the Heirophant causing a wound while its Hurricane Bolters killed the Zoanthrope. Mephiston take two wounds from the Heirophant, and loses two Terminators, but manages to cause two wounds in return, while the Terminators seem to be unsure which end of their weapons to hold.
Nids- Heirophant fires everything it has at Mephiston, but to no avail. The Trygon manages to shoot one of Lucious's Noise Marines, while the Hive Tyrant assaults the Terminators, though neither side was able to bring it home. Mawloc finishes of the Chaos Raptors, while a unit of gaunts assault the Chaos Terminators and are sacrificed to Slaanesh.
Following the Dark Angels example, the Space Wolves also withdraw from the battle
CSM- Noise Marines rock two Firewarriors to death, while Lucious's squad does it to eight Necrons. Terminators use their Bolters to wound the Tervigon. As the loyalist Marines make good their escape, the traitorous commits more troops to battle, in the form of an Ambush Spearhead of two Defilers and a Dreadnought, who charge the Heirophant. While one Defiler and the Dread were destroyed, and the other Defiler lost an arm, they were able to do two wounds, though the Heirophants regeneration meant it still fought on. Across the field the Daemon Prince slays a Firewarrior.
Tau- A Piranha moves onto the hill and fires its Fusion Blaster on the last whole Rhino, leaving it a smoldering lump of slag. Firewarriors finally finish off the last of the Noise Marines threatening their zone, while the Stealth suits creep on from the flank and knock down two Necron Warriors. The Area Denial Node turns upon the Monolith and leaves it stunned. The Hammerhead fires everything on the Mawloc to no effect, the Skyray performs likewise against the lost Immortals, and the Daemon Prince kills a Firewarrior.
Crons- A Necron Pylon suddenly form mid field. The Warriors finish off the Firewarriors, while the Lord's Immortals kills a Markerlight Drone, and wounds its controling Crisis suit. Both Monoliths release their arcs, with the one nearest the objective killing a Noise Marine and a gaunt, while the other damages the structure of an Area Denial Node and wounds the Mawloc. Immortals kill another Marker drone, and wound the Crisis suit. The Pylon kills two suits and the accompanying Shield drone. The Deciever steps into the fray, slaying the Stealth Squad save for their Shield Generators which saved all but two.
Nids- Heirophant tears at the structure of the Pylon, leaving it weakened. The Genestealers assault the Terminators, sacrificing five to Slaanesh before fleeing before their Lightning Claws. Another unit of Genestealers steps onto the field and right into a unit of Immortals, killing them and the Lord. Mawloc steps up to the Hammerhead and removes it from existence.
With the loss of their Lord, the Necrons phase out
CSM- The Noise step away from the hill to get a better line on the last Crisis suit and finish it off. The Defiler fires upon the Hive Tyrant, but it scatters into a unit of gaunts, whiping them out. The Defiler then charges Hive Tyrant, losing an arm, but causing two wounds. Lucious shoots and assaults the Trygon and dies, the Trygon feels... different. The Daemon Prince kills two more Firewarriors, but loses a wound.
Tau- The Nodes finally get an effective combined fire shot and slay the Mawloc, while the Prince finally finishes the Firewarriors and turns for the hill, leaving the Tau zone.
But it is to little to late...
THE TAU TAKE THE HILL
With the Noise Marines and Lucious moving toward other objectives and the Daemon Prince getting tied up by measely Firewarriors for so long the Forces of Chaos couldn't contest the hill. The Tyranids were clustered to far off on their own after their Space Marine targets all made a hasty retreat. The Necrons having left in a flash, left only the Tau in position, having a Piranha in place to take it(I believe the first to ever survive an engagement.)
