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!
