Sie Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Played a game this last weekend at my local GW, that's not so local ( takes me over a hour to get there), and i thought i would share this epic, but very frustrating game. My list (detailed list upon request) - 1500 Champ with Accept Vow (in LRC) Marshal w/ powerfist 6 Assault termies (3/3 combo) in LRC (blessed hull) 2x 9 man squad fist/melta w/Rhino Vinid w/ potms My opponent (Eldar, ill list what i saw) - SAID to be 1500 Avatar Farseer Banshees (9+ exarch) War Spiders (7 + exarch) Guardians ( warlock + starcannon) 2x Dire Avengers (9 + exarch) Pathfinders (6) Wave serpant Vyper Warwalker squad (3) Wraith Lord Wraith Gaurd (5 + warlock) For those thinking thats a lot for a 1500 point... you would be correct, more on this to come. Now to the report! 1500 points, cap n' control (3 obj), dawn of war. I win roll off, but give opponent first turn/deploy and choose not to roll to seize the 3 objectives are near the middle line of the table, two more so on the left (from my view). One was in some trees, one behind a little house, and the third in front of some ruins on the far right. Set-up Eldar - pathfinders, one squad of avengers and the avatar all get deployed in a building in the center of his deployment Templar - Rhino Squad with Marshal far right behind ruins with Obj on the other side Turn 1 0-0 Eldar - NOTHING! Didnt even bring on the rest of his army, so they are stuck in reserves now. Fine by me Templar - Rhino w/ marshal heads around the ruins to head for the far right objective, pops smoke. LRC and Rhino 2 Come on, and head for the two objectives on the left since they are closer. Vindi comes and hides behind some ruins. No shooting, night fight and everything moved 12. Turn 2 - 0-0 Eldar - reserves, gets warspiders (deepstrike), basnhees, vyper, wraith lord, wraith gaurd. The spiders DS right in the middle of the two left objectives, where my LRC and Rhino are headed. Banshees and Vyper come in on the right to answer my Rhino and marshal and the wraith lord and guard come in the middle. Avatar takes a step (low difficult rolls lol) He shoots a few times at my LRC but he cant do anything to it, and that's it Templar - With the spiders sitting ducks they look tasty for some Termies but i wasnt gonna fall for the bait with the wraith guard near. I send my LRC with in 12 and the near by rhino up, squad hops out. The LRC Unloads onto the spiders as does the my 9 man squad, I kill all but the exacrh :D. On the right side of the table i move my rhino into terrain, boys still inside, Vindi comes around the corner and shoots a template at the banshees but only kills 2 (stupid cover) Turn 3 - 0-0 NOTE: it was at this turn i asked to see his list cause this many units didnt make sense for 1500... he tells me he left it at home.... told him ill add it up after the game Eldar - Reserves, Farseer and gaurdians. He continues to move his wraith guard up and lord behind. Banshees move up more (out of cover YAY!) and the vyper comes around and shoots my Vindi but i pass my cover save (shoots through ruins). his path finders shoot my 9 man squad out of the rhino and kill one, i pass all LD test and step up 5 inches. He did take a few pot shots at my empty rhino but since it was half hidden by the LRC, i made all my cover saves. The lone warpspider exarch assaults my near by squad and does nothing, and then gets cut to shreds Templar - The, now 8 man squad run to cap one objective near by. The LRC heads for the Wraith Guard, Temeries hop out and assault them killing them all no problem, he kills one with Claws (failed the one save i had to take!). The squad in the rhino to right hops out and moves through cover taking some pot shots at the banshees killing 2 (rhino rolls a 1 on move through cover...). The vindi backs up a few inches and then unloads its cannon on the banshees killing ALL OF THEM! Turn 4 - 2-0 Templar Eldar - Rest of his army comes on, the walkers flanked on the left shooting my 8 man killing all but one (sad saves, but passes LD). Again he takes pot shots at my empty rhinos leaving me scratching my head, but does blow it up. His vyper moves over twelve to get behind my vindi but cant shoot so im not worried. Wraith lord moves up but wasted shots on my LRC. Dire avengers in the middle building come out and shoot my terminators, and causes ONE wound, i take it on the champ who passes. The avatar heads towards my terminators but is still way to far to do anything. The farseer heads towards the objective on the right. His path finders shoot at my 9 man w/ marshal on the right killing one, i pass all my LD test. Templar - On the right i move the vindi up and shoot the now exposed Dire avengers killing all but 2. The Squad with the marshal run back to shoot the vyper doing nothing but once the marshal got in combat, he got that one 6 to hit with his power fist and blew the thing up. On the left the One guy left runs and hides in the LRC and the LRC shoots at the wave serpent coming around and the dire avengers that came out of it turn before killing half. The Terminators Run to kill the wraith lord while the champ breaks off and heads for the guardians. The Terminators kill it, but i lose both my last two guys with claws, i know i should take the saves on the hammers, but i needed them to kill the wraithlord and with the avatar near. The champ kills two guardians and wins combat by 2 but they stand fast. Turn 5 - 0-0 Eldar - He gets his avatar into combat with my terminators killing one, i then cause no wounds back, stupid fortune. The Farseer charges my vindi blowing up its cannon. The walkers stand there shooting the LRC doing nothing as does the wave serpent. The guardians in combat with the champ loose by 3 but pass LD. The rest of his army did nothing worth merit Templar - I move my squad with marshal back to the objective. The Vindi goes up and uses its Bolter on those two dire avengers that were left killing both! The LRC moves around and gets rid of the rest of the dire avengers on the left. The champ wins combat again and they fail LD this time running but getting cut down. The Terminators and the Avatar did nothing to each other.... lame. Turn 6 - 2-0 Eldar - Nothing really happened, i did two wounds to the avatar finally but he did kill on more terminator and his farseer stood around looking dumb Templar - My champ joins the Avatar combat, the avatar kills the last terminator and the champs fails to wound and fails his damn save for the poke. The LRC then moves across the table a bit and insta gibbing the farseer with the assault cannon. Turn 7 - 2-0 Eldar - Few pot shots at the LRC again ( the one guy is still inside allowing it to control objectives!) Avatar then strikes down my champ with no mercy! Templar - As soon as he passed turn i instantly say turn finished ending this long game ending with a 2-0 win Post Game a friend and i go grab a slice of pizza and a beer and discuss the shadeyness of my opponents army list. We head back to the shop where i grab a eldar codex and add everything up bare bones, only added what i saw, didnt add any special equipment to tanks, exarchs and what not. After i added it all up it came to OVER 1900 points! I confronted the guy saying he needs to watch it with his army list and be properly ready for a game. At this point the black shirt jumps in a bit enforcing my comments. All in all i was very proud that my templars crushed his army at such a disadvantage but was still annoyed by this blatant over point army and the excuse of "my list was at home so i just put what i thought was in it" Comments are welcomed, and i hope you enjoyed the read as i plan to bring more of these and next time ill be sure to get some pictures for future reports to help explain more.

Iago Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Good job purging the unclean witch! Your templar list at 1500 is very similar to what I am running at the same point value and what I am planning to take to vegas this year. Cheers!

Brother Mitch Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Well done brother, you do the chapter proud! Your Initiates deserve some glorification and maybe a purity seal or two each for the outstanding single marine in the LRC and the Vindicator, that by the sounds of it, totally justified its cost!! Glad you beat such a person, just shows that BT bring the pain!!

EC can't have a Command Squad but he can join units. Mine rolls in a LRC with a ten man squad FTW!
