40K Skirmish Scenario: Stormraven Down

Initial Setup

Set up a 3' x 3' board of mostly city terrain.

Place a flyer (Stormraven or Valkyrie, &c) on the table in one corner. The downed vehicle counts as impassable terrain for all models, but any model within 1" of the vehicle counts as being in hard cover.

The defending player places a casualty marker (representing the pilot) in a building or ruin within 6" of the vehicle, along with two models representing elite snipers.

These are "big men" characters who have BS5, T4, 2 wounds, and are wearing carapace armor (4+ save). They have master crafted sniper rifles (or equivalent), boltguns (or equivalent) and a power sword, but no further character upgrades.

Suggestions: IG Snipers or Space Marine Scout Snipers. In a pinch, put a pair of Eldar Pathfinders next to a downed Wave Serpent.

The opposing force has a standard force org but must have at least half his force as Troops. Deploy all units at least 18" from the vehicle and the target building.

Victory Conditions

If the opposing force can capture the wounded pilot (by moving in base-to-base contact in any phase) or cause a Collapse in Leadership in four turns or less, they win.

Anything else is a victory for the defender.
