The Land Raider shoots at the top Fire Prism witch saves both Lascannons. A missile launcher from the marines stuns the prism. The vindicator kills a single guardian, though hitting 7 of them. They gain the benefit of 4+ cover with shrouded from warlock and stealth from night fight. the Predator fails to penetrate the prism while the Falcon saves both a missile and plasma with some cover saves.
Turn 2
One Nightwing arrives. Guided by the Farseer (psychic power) the Nightwing kills vindicator (and gains First blood). The top guardians kills a single marine while the Prism stuns the Predator. The Falcon shakes the Rhino.
The Chosen marines bail out of their transport and destroys the falcon with 3 meltaguns, killing a firedragon in the explosion. The Land Raider destroy one Vyper and damage the other.
Turn 3
Night wing 2 arrives. The bottom Fire prism scores a glancing on predator. Both Nightwings and the Fire prism shots at the Land raider but only causes a single glancing hit. The Fire dragons kills 5 marines antd then assault the decimated squad killing another in assault.
The Predator shakes the Fire prism. The Rhino kills 4 guardians while its squad of Chosen kills a Windrider. The Land raider scores two Lascannon hits at the Fire prism but fails to penetrate it! Terminators makes a run move towards the guardians.
Turn 4
The Nigthwing and Fire prism once again fails to penetrate Land raider. The other Nightwing blast off the last hull point off the predator wrecking it. The Vyper and the Guardians torrent of fire kills the Lord and terminators. Guardians immobilize the Rhino.
The Land raider immobilize Fire prism, now left with one hull point. The Chosen destroys the other prism with a melta gun.
Turn 5
The Fire prism now destroy the land raider with a lucky penetrating shot (though with S9 AP1 lance the odds are quite good). The Guardians destroys the rhino with its Shuriken cannon, and massed fire from Nightwings and Jetbikes destroy 6 chosen marines, leaving only three of them alive.
The top Rocket launcher miss the immobilized Fire prism. The Chosen marines run to contest the 4 point objective and score a line breaker, in case the game should end.
And the game ends due to random game length...

Comments
It felt a little bit one sided with my (eldar) army being stronger composed on paper and my dice rolling turning out better. The key to fun games is usually balanced armies - It was still a very fun game, but even with a lot of terrain and cover the units died off quite quickly.
