As the Imperium reacted to the sudden move by the Ynnari, the Gregorian regiments to the south west of Violetwind Coast suddenly found themselves under a determined assault by Craftworld eldar attempting to reach the Hartford Lake and cutting off their supply. Supported by Wraithknights the eldar pushed the imperial force back, but the Gregorians were able to call on their mobile airborne reserve and their Knight support.The appearance of the Knight onto the battlefield was pivotal. As a Wraithknight turned its attention to the dangerous imperial war engine, its charge was halted by a well timed and well aimed shot with the Knight Valiant's Thundercoil Harpoon. The damage to the eldar wraith construct was devastating, and the battle turned after that, as the scions counter attacked, using their airborne units to outmanoeuvre their enemy and pushing forward with their taurox mounted units. The eldar were caught in an hellish vice, forcing them to retreat. The imperial force was able to pursue, routing the eldar and preventing the all important cut off against Lake Hartford. Now Veers had a real chance to deal a fatal blow to the exposed Ynarri force at the Excavation Site.
