How to beat Darkhammer?

[谢钱来]

In the Imperium campaign I chose the side with Aeldari and have to fight against Darkhammer's huge fleet.But what troubles me is that no matter how many ships I destroyed in the mission,Darkhammer's flagship just hide out of the map so that I can't sink him once and for all.
Do you guys know how to lure him to join the battle?

Darkhammer will join battle after around 50%-75% of attacking force is destroyed. His ship will charge to point near craft world so he is not hiding at all.

Thanks,I will try this mission again.The Inquisitor commands a bigger fleet than a Lord High Admiral did.

Just stay back and wreck them as they come to you. The elfs will suicide no matter what you do.

i basically hid in a dust cloud and turned my cruisers broadside towards their ships. the craftworlds cannon kinda works like a nova cannon. after darkhammer appears you have 3 minutes to kill him (thats what it says, did not see any timer) the mission is over as soon as he dies.

You have to fight at the centre in the gas cloud otherwise you'll be in huge trouble. With Spire my Fleet was Retribution, Retribution, Mars, Escorts. I recommend that the fleet accompanying him should be a Space Marine one with a Battle Barge (preferably with extended range).

So your Fleet will be 2 x Retribution, Battle Barge and a Mars. Should you lose a line ship or disengage the Space Marine Strike Cruiser will fill the gap.

The Eldar Craftworld (multishot Nova Cannon) is fantastic. Use it liberally. Try and support the Eldar at least to the Gas cloud but if they range ahead let them go. On occasion send some fighters to protect their cruisers as they do get quite badly battered.

Excellent spoilers, thanks

After a fifteen minute long slog where I destroyed so many battleships and battlecruisers there is a debris field so dense in the middle of the map that plasma macro cannons are no longer effective as firing at maximum range the volleys only hit the debris, he finally shows up. How the hell does he have more ships then my entire fleet in all sectors combined and put them in a single battle? If he actually just marched that fleet into the eye of terror as soon as he showed up me might of been able to single handily end the entire dark crusade!
