So, had another game today. 1500pts, getting ready for the new tournament season at Spellbinder http://www.spellbinderhobbies.com/?page_id=59 on Jan 8th.
Vs Joaquins IG. 1500pts
Highlights of the game:
- The 9 hellions rocked a blob squad (in the turn they charged they did 20 wounds!)
This was a good game for the Dark eldar, I tried a few different things out this time. For once I decided to go first, I did a few pot shots but only managed to kill a few guardsmen and soft-kill a chimera... the return IG turn saw my bloodbride raider go down... and kill 5 out of 8 :O. The razorwing lived up to its name... unloaded all its rockets and then died... I also tested the Duke, and although I did not use his deepstrike rule I did use the drug choosing and got to pick the re roll wounds drug.
The triple lance ravager did well, killing the valk, and then not dying after 3 pen hits. Lucky bugger.
Anyway, WIN for the DE killpoint mission.
Some pics from the game:
Dark Eldar Deployment, the hellions and the jetbikes were kept in reserve.
IG deployment left:
Ig Deployment right:
You will notice that the biggest mistake he made was splitting his army... he did want to have a "bait" force (the right) but it was quite jucy in a killpoint mission, having 3 KP close to it. I would have deployed the large footslogging blob squad there... and harassed the DE flank, forcing them into a war of attrition.
Turn 2:
The hellions moved on:
and then assaulted the blob turn 3, doing 20 wounds (then again my brother made 9 saves on 5+!)
IG T2:
The valk shows up, but falis to do anything to the ravager on the back right Dark eldar flank:
and then the ravager blows the valk up and kills 6 of the veterans within on turn 3:
T4:
The hellions hit and run against the blob squad on IG turn 3 and then combined shooting from a closeby raider squad and the help the the remaining reavers the massive blob is finally dead and the survivors consolidate to face the executioner:
Towards the end of the game the remaining DE forces converged on the Imperial Guard position. Here the ravager moves up and lines up a shot:
Hope you liked it! Cheers.
