Pointy ears in black

[mughi3]

A buddy if mine who plays eldar exclusively has decided to build a second 40K army, and low and behold it is yet more space elves.....this time of the dark variety.

 

He didn't have enough vehicles to proxy his list at 2K so i dropped my list down to 1,500 so we could get a test run in.

 

 

I forgot how small 1,500 feels now since i usuallt play 2K-5K games.

 

My force

.MOTF with harnessand some other goodies

.X5 scout squad in LS storm

.X10 tac squad with missile/flamer/fist

.LS typhoon

.X2 venerable las/missile dreads

.X2 ironclad dreads in pods.

.Game type-table quarters with 1 objective in each deplyment.

 

 

He went first, he charged the raiders forward and blasted at the infantry with his bombers. killing a few marines.

 

My turn saw my first pod come in behind his bombers and immobiles+weapon destroy one of them, my venerable dread blew up a raider and killed half the witches inside. the other raider took an immobilised result.

 

 

His retaliation blew up my ironclad dread and the pod in came in with. freeing his objective. his witched ran forward towards the venerable dreads.

A volley of bolter fire brought the wounded squad down to a single while my shooting agaist the larger squad was less effective. my typhoon came in and stunned a bomber.

 

 

his time his witches finally got to my dreads. a couple rounds of CC saw the single die while the larger squad stayed in CC with the damaged dread for the entire game. venerable saved my dread time and again against his haywire grenades.

 

My scouts came in and camped his objective. he unloaded half his army into them over 2 turns and finally had to assault them because they kept making all thier cover saves...cammo cloaks and going to ground FTW.

 

His last venom danced around my tac marines and killed a few between the 2 cobat squads. his 5+ shield save prevented a glance and a pen hit from CC attacks.

 

Turn 5 my last dread finally came in and plopped down right on his objective while i tinked away at his stuffon my side fo teh table. the MOTF braved a charge into the witched but they were more concerned with the dread. even with all his attacks i missed with most for the MOTF and the tide fo battle never turned against the witches.

 

The game ended on turn 5 with both objectives contested.
