Hello fellow commanders, I'll keep this brief as my last batrep with pics and everything got almost no replies. 1500 pts - Eternal War - Big Guns never tire (all 4 obectives get placed toward one side of the board, which the Eldar end up taking) - Hammer and Anvil deployment Eldar (from memory) Alaitoc detachment Illic Warlock 3x 5 Rangers Crimson Hunter 10 Wraith Guard sword&board (=> Webway) 2 Fire Prisms Ulthwé detachment Farseer (warlord) 10 Dark Reapers Blood Angels Double Battalion Captain Smush w TH/SS/Relic Jumppack Libby with JP (Wings and +1 Attack spell) Lemartes SPriest with JP 3x 5 Scouts (2 with HBs) 2x 5 Intercessors 1x 5 Tac w ML Rapier Quad Mortar 12 Death Co (2 Hammers 1 Fist) 3 Plasma Inceptors Vanguard Detachment DKOK Officer (Warlord: Grand Strategist & Kurovs Aquila) 3 Inquisitorial Acolytes 10 CP (-1 for Death Visions and -1 for the 2nd relic) T1 BA Managed to seize the initiative which was nice - I just didn't manage to do much with it. I was super worried about the Dark Reapers with their stratagem, but had little long range firepower in this list to whittle them down. Killed 2 (Hellfire Rounds) and 1 squad of Rangers for first blood, that's it. Oh and 3 wounds off of the Crimson Hunter with the Anti-Air missile. T1 Eldar Then got mauled by the Reapers while the Crimson Hunter tried to take out my Captain (had brought him in for re-rolls for the Rapier). Lost all 3 Scout squads and 1 Intercessor squad. Reapers and Fire Prisms are horrendous. Thankfully at least Guide on the Reapers failed and my Captain was unharmed. T2 BA I knew I had to at least try to break the Reaper Castle or I'd get shot off the board anyway, so I brought in ALL of my reserves. Lost 7 of my 12 Death Company to the stratagem and overwatch from the Reapers. Then they and Lemartes made the charge (stratagem on the DC). Also charged the Crimson Hunter with my Captain. Inceptors took 6 wounds off one Prism, a missile took 4 off the other. Death Company mowed down the Reapers like a hot knife going through butter, also surrounding the Warlock to lock themselves in combat. Captain managed to leave the Crimson Hunter on 3 wounds -.- T2 Eldar Farseer, 1 sq of Rangers, the Prism and Illic tried to get the hell away from the DC. Inceptors draw most of the firepower and die like flies. Warlock goes down to Lemartes but he's down to 1 wound now (can't remember clearly how). T3 BA Captain takes to the sky and drops in 9 inches away from one of the Prisms. Lemartes jumps toward the Farseer. Priest jumps into 3" of Lemartes to heal him. The 5 remaining DC set off to hunt Illic and the Rangers. 2nd squad of Intercessors are now in range of the Rangers, too, but only 2 are left. 2 CP strat on the Captain to charge the prism. Lemartes charges the prism and the Farseer. DC charge Illic (after shooting had reduced the Ranger squad to 1). Everything dies. Especially the Farseer, he dies like twice over. Lemartes seemingly was in a foul mood. T3 Eldar Wraith Guard drop in out of the webway to chase my hidden Warlord as the Eldar have had enough of my regenerating CPs. Don't make the charge though, so sad. Stuff shoots, but the remaining vehicles are damaged and the Rangers suck at aiming. T4 BA DC jump to claim an objective, Intercessors move up to do the same. Captain, Lemartes, Libby and the Priest jump toward the 2nd prism and the last squad of Rangers. Shooting kills nothing of note but there`s also not that much left apart from the massive blob of Wraith Guard which my Warlord and the Acolytes flee from (forgot to advance though -.-). I basically ignore them as they`re slow and far away from the objectives. Captain and Lemartes make the charge on the Rangers and the Prism. Prism dies, all but 2 Rangers, too. T4 Eldar Rangers flee toward an objective. Crimson Hunter makes a sharp turn to try and get a bead on my warlord but one Acolyte is in the way. Wraith Guard make their charge on an Acolyte with boxcars. Pile into my warlord but can`t surround him. Acolyte dies. T5 BA Captain jumps toward Rangers but they die to shooting before he can charge. Characters claim Linebreaker and another objective (Intercessors have the last one). Rapier uses the secondary firing mode to shoot 3 shells up the Crimson Hunters tailpipe and turns it into confetti. Never thought I'd get to use the direct shots, oh well. Warlord breaks off from combat and remembers to advance this time. T5 Eldar Wraith Guard make the charge again, but the Refractor Field has been blessed and my Warlord live with 1 wound remaining. My opponent calls it here. My commentary I can add later if you`re interested, but I have to go meet a buddy now :) Was a very satisfying victory!
