New DE Models

I am very glad I did not spend time and money converting tonnes of venmoms or razorwings! The new models are amazing and I hate GW for enticing me to spend even more money. Tee hee.

Reavers!


Working on some reavers for my LGS display. The light is a bit off on the pic but you get the general idea. I am trying not to use any metal on the units... and the blades are going to be bone.

Cheers!

Road to Vegas _ Test Game 1

Well, this test game was actually at 1850 pts, but It was for me to get "back into the hang" of playing with the Kabal. The list:

Baron
Heamy with WWP and Liquifier

3 Grotesques (awesome unit) with Aberration, Scissor Hands, Liquifier
Raider Flicker

10 Warriors
Raider SR, FF
10 Warriors
Raider SR, FF
10 Warriors
Raider SR, FF
8 Wyches, Hex + Agon
Raider FF
10 Hellions, Heliarch and Agon

Razorwing with SC
2 X Ravager FF, NS 3x lances.

Anyway, played a blood angel player. Roll dice and tie mission.

Highlights (sorry no pics this time)
- Hellions and Baron wiping Mephiston after arriving from the WWP turn 2. Then getting killed by an angry blood talon dreadnought. Baron survived and ran away.
- The grotesques, taking out his scoring unit (one scout squad.. I know!... other things were DC) and 2 predators in cc.

And of course the awesome power of the splinter racks... so many wounds! Even death co cant FNP everything :D.

So another win for the DE. For the vegas GT there are a few things that I really want to make work, that is the grotesques because they are awesome, the WWP + helions and baron because they are also great point for point and raider stuff. Anyway. I hope to get many games in before then.

Cheers!

Stiring In the Webway

Ok, so It is time to get in gear for Vegas!
The Tournament is at 1500pts and at this level I find that DE can be at their best because of the volume of weapons and squads that they can have in comparison to other armies short of horde orks.
But there are is a new kid on the Block: The Grey Knights... now, they have a bit of everything against everything. They can run chimeras like Imperial Guard, they can run devastator dreads and they have a LOT of S6 - 7 and move and shoot weapons. Purgation squads will murder all in cc. Now something to remember is that they are still -Marines- and as Dark Eldar the tactics remain the same, hit fast, hit hard and overwhelm the opponent before they get the opportunity to strike back. So, for 1500pts I am still mulling Ideas in my head but we will see I shall begin posting more regularly after my great break, seems like my Black Templars have taken up most of my hobby time. Anyway, the webway awaits.

Cheers!

Latest Game 1850 vs Eldar

Had another campaign game yesterday. Annihilation, Table Quarters.
Photobucket
He attacked my fortress.. and therefore I had 5% more points (92) and I also used my soldier card on him making him go first. This was good for me because he was using 2 autarchs and alot of jetbikes and a lot of cannons and scatter lasers.
Mission was table quarters and annihilation (victory points). I have modified my list to include another heamonculus. and I loved it.
20 warriors with 2 lances deployed with the heamy with WWP. And dropped it almost in the middle of the table. I had the hellions, jetbikes and one foot wych unit in reserve.
Photobucket
Anyway... after his second turn thing just went very ugly for him. My grotesques assaulted the warwalkers (that lasted the entire game)
Photobucket
I blew up a fireprism and my razorwing did well and blew 6 jetbikes from a 9 man unit into oblivion. The hellions charged said unit and ground them down (although they lost the first round of combat) His harlequins bounced off the grotesques and all in all he had a rough game.
Photobucket
Photobucket
All he had left at bottom of 5 was a warwaker (messed up) and immobile fireprism and waveserpent. I must make this note:
- Grotesques are awesome, they took so much damage! I am glad I decided to add them to the list itself. Cheers.

So massacre in my favour.

Latest Game 1850pts Vs Space Marines

Had a recent game VS space marines with my DE. Was not the most exciting game as my opponent played very defensively. The mission was victory points and there was only about a 70 point split at the end (in my favour)

I took a Duke list. All in all the game only lasted 5 turns. A few highlights:

The more I play against a gunline army the more I wish I had a WWP. In the list that I wanted to play I had the grotesques and the WWP... sadly I forgot them at home and therefore had to run my old "kabal" style list. Although I did run the razorwing, once again it proved to be quite effective and did not die at the end of the game! I was quite happy about that result.

Cheers!

WhIP Hellions

On this installment of WhIP :D (see how I gave it a Dark Eldar spin?) I have the first hellion of 15... I have decided to do all the skin first as I have no clue what to do the rest of the armour or army for that matter yet... So this will get me started.

Photobucket

Photobucket

I know the camera is not the best. But what do you think?

The recipie:

3:1 Elf Flesh:Khomando Khaki
Devlan mudd wash
base coat of Elf Flesh
gryphone sephia wash
elf flesh (very light and watered down)

And I still have not done the last step but its a final blend of elf flesh + bleached bone.

Thoughts?

Cheers!

1500pts Vs White Scars

This was a game I had the 27th of December against my friends white scar army in progress. We were testing our tournament lists for the upcomming tournament season at Spellbinder in Woodstock ON.
This was the DE list that I was using:
Photobucket
I ran the 3 grots (friggin awesome) and the hellions with the Baron.
This was the table:
Photobucket
Turn 1 was non existent to both of us as we entirely reserved our armies. I won the roll off and made him go first, after all, it was an objective based mission:
Turn 2 saw his WW and two bike squads arrive. I had some raiders, and ravagers show up.
Turn 3 Saw the Khan show. And my hellions, that then shot at the bike command and killed the apothecary! (yikes)
Photobucket

The 3 grotz were shot at by almost the entire army, and then assaulted by the Khan and the remmant sarge of one of the bike squads... the grots did awesome, and did not lose any of their number (each left with one wound!) the only casualty was the heamonculus... and then they successfully ran away! HA!
Photobucket

All in all. My opponent tapped out turn 5... with only a whirlwind left on the table, far from any of the objectives. He did note that the addition of poison to the DE arsenal has made this match up a lot tougher than it used to be (its true, we used to play all the time before and the games were a lot closer... but the poison really leveled the playing field.)

Cheers!
