On the planet of Rarthos II the fate of that system will be decided, the imperial fleet entered the system and made planetfall unopposed, the Necron threat was nowhere to be seen, however within a few hours of the imperial army entering the planets capital, the Necrons finally made their presence known, the imperial fleet was engaged as Necron ground forces approached the city...

RARTHOS II APOCALYPSE BATTLE
IMPERIAL FORCES - IMPERIAL FISTS 5TH COMPANY, DARK ANGELS RAVENWING, VOSTROYAN FIRSTBORN 11TH REGIMENT.
NECRON FORCES - THE WAR COUNCIL OF MANDRAGORA, THE WARHOST OF MANDRAGORA.
NECRON TURN 1
The Necrons advanced across the battlefield ready to unleash death upon the imperial force, Imotekh gave orders to destroy as many imperial vehicles as possible, but to leave the Baneblade untouched, much of the Necron weaponry was out of range, however Anrakyr the Traveller unleashed a Star Pulse upon the imperial guard hoping to devastate their infantry and vehicles, alas the well entrenched foe suffered minimal casualties and no vehicles were harmed, a few well placed shots managed to destroy the imperial fists razorback and venerable dreadnought, but this was not enough for Imotekhs plan.
IMPERIAL TURN 1
The Imperial force managed to survive the initial necron onslaught relatively unscathed, now it was time for payback, in a bold move Captain Darnath Lysander and a squad of Deathwing Terminators teleported into the heart of the necron force. Commissar Yarrick called in an artillery Bombardment, this coupled with a devastating salvo from the Imperial Guard managed to destroy the necron destroyer lord and most of his unit, however only a small portion of other necrons were bought down, things were already looking bad for the Imperials.

NECRON TURN 2
Having failed to complete the 1st part of his battleplan, Imotekh decided it was time to call in air support, 3 Doomscythes tore toward the imperial lines, whilst the rest of the Necron force marches relentlessly forward, Imotekh called on a C'Tan Shard to make an all out attack and it raced towards the dark angel infantry. The Necron shooting was more effective this time slaying several guardsmen and bringing down the leman russ demolisher and both armoured sentinels, Imotekh nodded in satisfaction as he ordered lysander to be annihilated, as the smoke cleared lysander was bloodied but still standing. It was now that the Necrons lauched their assault as the Canoptek Scarabs and Wraiths engaged the imperial guard along with the remaining Destroyers, the C'Tan Shard crashed into the Dark Angels and what followed were inconclusive combats with only the Wraiths driving off their opponents.
IMPERIAL TURN 2
Darnath Lysander launched himself at the necron doomsday ark whilst the remainder of his force scored a few minor victories by wiping out the triarch praetorians and immobilising the triarch, Commissar Yarrick engaged the wraiths as Lysander destroyed the doomsday ark, but as before the remaining combats were inconclusive.
1ST SCHEDULED BREAK - STRATEGIC VICTORY POINTS
NECRONS 4 - IMPERIUM 2
To be continued...
