Craftworlds vs Crimson Fists
The Farseer turned her eyes up to watch drop pods burn holes in the atmosphere like falling stars. The humans had come in force, likely responding to the same threat, even if she and her forces would likely become their first target. They were fools. Fools that had doomed themselves just as much as they had the rest of this planet, but they had no way of knowing that. Their minds, though altered, were mere children’s minds in comparison to that of the Aeldari.
Engaging them on the field was a risk, but it was one they would have to take if their mission was to succeed. The planet, the sector, perhaps even their very Craftworld depended on it.
She hurried, scurrying across the barren waste as fast as she could, relaying orders to her forces and preparing them for battle. Waves of Aeldari clad in yellow and purple, Iyanden colours, rallied at her call; Rangers taking their positions, Guardians preparing their shuriken catapults, Hemlock Wraithfighters taking to the skies and maintaining a tight formation overhead.
As the Astartes drop pods and Storm Ravens began to smash and land into the earth, shaking the ground and sending cracks rippling along the surface, the Farseer reached her webway portal. She stood before it, stretching her mind through the portal itself and sending her consciousness to the other side. There, sitting dormant on the other side, waiting for her call, the great monster stirred. She hadn’t wanted to wake it, had hoped she would not need to, but the hour was growing short, and they would not be able to defeat the Astartes without help.
Slowly, guided by the Farseer’s ethereal touch, the Wraith Knight ambled through the webway, arriving with a flash of light at the mouth of the portal. The towering construct turned its head low to regard its Farseer, bowed, and then gave its attention to the advancing humans. They were moving quickly, spots of blue amidst the red, barren landscape.
They would break themselves against the Aeldari here. Otherwise many more lives would be lost.

Chaos Daemons vs Craftworlds Alaitoc
The blind man does not know he is in the eye of a storm, for the air around him is calm and still. Safe. Comfortable. So too does a lesser mind not know they are surrounded by the daemonic, for they cannot see it for what it truly is. A liar. A manipulator. A devourer of souls.
The operation to restore the Webway portal had been plagued with delays and ill omens from the beginning, but the warlock had been tasked to ensure it would open when needed at all costs. Night and day his people had worked; first to locate the buried gate, then to pull it out of the dirt and the snow, as only then could repairs on its Wraithbone structure could truly begin.
Though the problems had begun shortly after his ship made planetfall, the Warlock had ignored every event that had taken place, every malfunction, every death… and treated them each as a matter of course. Time was not on their side, and this planet was not a hospitable place. Problems had been foreseen.
On the third day of their work, the sky had erupted into a beautiful aurora. A dazzling mantle of greens, and purples, and golds filled the heavens. Finally, the Warlock thought, we are blessed with good fortunes. That very night, the Webway portal sang to life for the first time in millennia. The work was complete; soon they would all be able to go home.
No one had foreseen how wrong they were.
When the Daemons erupted from within the shimmering heart of the portal, they struck hard and fast. Hundreds of them, maybe thousands of tiny creatures flooded the snow and attacked with gnashing teeth and claws. Behind them, flying monsters dressed up in an array of colors scorched the snow with daemonic fire, incinerating those nearest to the Webway Gate.
This Warlock was blind once, but now he has opened his eyes, and he has seen the truth.
The Daemons were always here. He had not been doing his Farseer’s work; he had been doing theirs.
He could only hope his distress call would reach his brother before he and his people were all butchered.
