Aequitasx Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 We played 2500 Points, Annihilation with a DoW setup. It was my first game with Grey knights, coming off of Black Templars. It was first game ever against a full eldar army, I had played one little 500 point game against some Wraithguard, but had never faced a full eldar army. His List: Eldar Avatar Seer Council Swooping Hawks. Prince Yriel Striking Scorpions in Wave Serpent Fire Dragons in Wave Serpent 2 Dire Avenger squads in Wave Serpents 2 squads of 3 warwalkers with starcannons My List: Brother Capitan Stern with a retinue of 7 GKT. 1 Incinerator. Mounted in LRC 8 PAGK. 1 Incinerator. 1 Psycannon. Justicar. Inquisitor Joined. Mounted in LR 9 PAGK. 1 Incinerator. 1 Psycannon. Justicar. Mounted in LR. 5 Seraphim. 1 Sister Suoerior. 9 Repentia. 1 Mistress. Priest. Calladus Assassin. Deployment: I go first. It's a set of scattered rock formations, about 10 inches by 10 inches. The middle is a large, circular, stone plateau. There is a forest area terrain on each respective players side. In DoW you can deploy up to 1 HQ and 2 Troop 2 feet in, the enemy must deploy 18 inches away from your models within it's 2 feet in. I make the mistake of setting up my HQ squad in the large circular cover in the middle of the field. They have a 4+ cover against his starcannons, but I make them go to ground for a 3+ because of KP. He decides not to bring anything out in his deployment, instead he does a delay. My first turn. He fails his steal the initiative. I bring my LR's, LRC, and seraphims into the table 12 inches in. My Repentias move 12 inches in as well (6 inches of move and a 6 on the D6 for holy rage). There isn't anything of his on the board yet so my turn ends. He comes on. He Flat outs his wave serpents w/ elites inside 24 inches up my right side. His war walkers come in the middle of his deployment zone, and 2 more wave serpents to my left side. He takes 24 shots total on my GKT with his STR 6 AP 2 Starcannons, and I go to ground. He inflicts 2 kills. My second turn. I move my repentias within assault range of the wave serpent. I move my LR's and LRC so that they can shoot fully at the wave serpents. My Seraphims use my left LR as cover. My 1st LR manages to crash his 1st wave serpent on the right side w/ a immobilize (skimmer moving flat out). My LRC Melta-guns his 2nd flat out wave serpent, glances, stunned result. My second LR shoots one of his left Wave serpents, gets a weapon destroyed. My Calladus Assassin comes in behind his Seer Council, kills 4 with neural shredder. I assault the 2nd wave serpent on the right with my repentias, it moved flatout, hit on 6 withy re-rolls from priest. I get an Explodes result. I lose 2 repentias, he loses 3 striking scorpions. Also, Prince Yriel is in there. My Calladus assaults the last of the seer council, and kills both. She then massacres away and hides in cover. Bitch. His shooting, he takes some more shots at my GKT and they make it out with no casualties. He immobilizes my LR on the right side with his Fire Dragons. His assault. He attacks my Repentias out of the blown up wave serpent with his striking scorpions. We tie combat losing 2-3 each. He brings in his swooping Hawks squad, and they end up right in front of my LRC. They shoot down 2 of my Seraphim, but are outside of assault. My turn. I disembark. My PAGK pop out of my left LR, with his Swooping hawks all fitting under my Incinerator template ;). I :) up royally and disembark my PAGK on the right side. They forget to shoot basically, which allows Prince Yriel to get into close combat. He would have died if I had shot him. So they just disembark and stand there, I was hoping to get them into assault, but instead of seeing what I actually should have done, I miss it and pay a BIG price later on. I kill the swooping hawks with 8 dying from my incinerator and 2 from my psycannon. His shooting. He manages to Wreck my right LR. He shoots my PAGK on the left with his Dire avengers who use the 3 shot ability. He shoots my LRC with his Avatar and immobilizes it. He also uses his Warwalkers to further shoot the :) out of the PAGK on the left, they're down to like 5. He runs his Prince to assault range of my PAGK, im in for a suprise. He assaults and uses eye of wrath. 5" blast, str 6, ap3. Kills 9. My justicar is left standing. Fearless, lose combat by 9, lose justicar. ;). He has basically taken out my entire right side, LR and PAGK + inquisitor. He's standing 1 inche away from the middle with his avatar. He's consolidated 6 inches towards my middle as well. I have 4 GKT left of 8 including my Stern who had to get out of the wrecked LRC and are now going to try and assault his avatar. I use my LR on the left to finish off his last wave serpent, all 4 are now gone. My seraphims fly over to the last of the 2nd dire avenger squad, and finish them off with 2 x flamer pistols and a Superior with plasma pistol & Power weapon. My stern attacks his avatar with 3 GKT. They inflict one whole wound, and it's not stern doing it. I lose 2 GKT. I lose combat by 1. I take another wound, and roll a 1. Stern is all alone. 5th round, his turn. He finishes off my seraphims and last PAGK with his warwalkers. His prince is within 3 inches oif assault to my termies after runnning. and his fire dragons are slowly coming to the left. He has 1 warwalker, 3 war walkers, 1 avatar, 1 prince left. I have one LR, stern left. I have 9 KP, he has 7. This is the critical last round. We don't kno it yet, but I will roll a 3 at the begining of round 6, and the game will end. I have 2 KP left on the table, enough for him to tie. He has 2 squads of war walkers left, his prince, and an avatar. I only have stern and an empty LR. He assaults stern, who is locked in combat already with the :cussing avatar, with his prince. The prince and the Avatar both get to go before stern. They both inflict 1 wound. I roll a 5 and a 6 on the invunerable saves... o m g. Stern does one would to each. Prince fails his 4+ invulnerable, he's doubled out and dies. The avatar also fails his Invul save. Stern rolls a 4 on his psychic test, passes and kills his Avatar too. I just won the game. I have 11 KP. He has 8. The most he can get is 10. But he can still wipe my ass off of the table. But alas, I roll the critical 3, and the game is over. So close.

Uncle Mel Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 That was a very nice read, I needed that after a day of stomach aich and a nagging 10 month old daughter and a girlfriend at work. Like I said I enjoyed reading your batrep, it was not too elaborate and therefore not overly long. Congratulations on your victory (your army list misses the assassin though) Hope to see more batreps from you soon Mel Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172591-ordeo-malleus-battle-report-eldar/#findComment-2039876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Good Batrep! Yep, I'm finding that our silver boys tend to do quite well in Kill Point games; objective games, on the other hand, are still a bit of a challenge it seems.

gil galed Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 wow nice BR, when i saw the seer council i was like "hope he brought a culleux", looks like that was unneeded though as the callidus wiped them out, i always forget about the neural shredder :), unlucky with the princes blast, its a really pain :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172591-ordeo-malleus-battle-report-eldar/#findComment-2040557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevianID Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Stern does one would to each. Prince fails his 4+ invulnerable, he's doubled out and dies. The avatar also fails his Invul save. Stern rolls a 4 on his psychic test, passes and kills his Avatar too. Which is why Stern is awesome! Congrats!

jeffersonian000 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I just noticed that you did not have an Inquisitor listed in your build, and without one you cannot take an Officio Assassin. Hmmm, wonder why I missed that on my first read of your Batrep.

jeffersonian000 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I guess I noted it on my first read, yet not on my second. Older Timers must be setting in. :) Edit: Of course, an Inquisitor can not ride in a GK Land Raider.

Leonatus Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 that Eldar list is illegal methinks, You can't have a Seer Council (Warlock Squad?) without having an actual 'Seer and he already had two HQ choices with Yriel and the Avatar.
