They have a really nice store with a fairly large area to game upstairs and nice terrain.

I win the roll to go first

I place my objective in my corner and he places his in his corner.


My deployment
I put an auto cannon vet squad in chimera on my objective and the Manticores hiding behind the building. Put the other Chimeras behind the center building with all 3 vendettas behind them and the Hydra to the middle.

He deploys the 10 man with eldrad behind the ruins with the 5 man right next to them and the 3 wraith lords behind.

I turbo boast my vendettas to the right to take shots at his wraith lords.

My turn 1
Chimeras move up exept for the auto cannon vet chimeras. Vendettas move to target wraith lords. Pair of Vendettas take down a Wraith Lord and the last vendetta and a chimera multilaser take down a second. Left Manticore fires at the big group of wraith guard and kills 1. Right Manticore fires at the small unit of wraith guard and wiffs. Hydra fires at the small unit of wraith guard and wiffs.

Picture after my turn 1


Need to get some putty to keep the rear door shut on my Vendetta.

Lou's Turn 1
He casts fortune on both wraithguard units and guide on the small one. Hood blocks nothing. Wraith guard move towards me. Remaining Wraith Lord gets closer to the building and targets my Vendetta. Remaining Wraith Lord fires at empty vendetta and wiffs. Small Wraith guard shoot at the empty vendetta and shake it.

My Turn 2
Alrahem's platoon arrives from reserves. I come my side of the table as a precaution against the wave serpent arriving 12 and dumping out wraith guard. This is my first mistake as I actually should have just rolled onto the objective and smoked. If he wanted to bring on his serpent to counter alrahem he would have difficulty getting my objective. Shaken Vendetta turbo boasts to the right. Other two Vendettas target his remaining wraith lords. Chimeras in the middle roll back 6 to stay out of range of the big wraithguard unit. Vendettas take out the remaining wraith lord. inquisitor plasmas fire at the small wraith unit and kill 1. Hydra fires at the small wraith unit but does nothing due to fortune. Manticores go at the big unit but wiff because of fortune. Alrahem's unit fires their multi lasers at the small wraith unit.

Picture after my turn 2


Lou's Turn 2
Lou gets his wave serpent and dire avengers and storm guardians in from reserves and run. Wave serpent turbo boasts 24 up the left side going for my objective, while the dire avengers and storm guardians arrive on his objective. Small wraith unit moves towards the vendetta with vets in it while the large unit moves toards the vendetta that just turbo boasted. small wraith unit immobilizes the vendetta with the vets in it. Large wraith unit blows off 2 las cannons and shakes the vendetta that turbo boasted.

Picture after Lou's turn 2


My turn 3
Shaken vendetta turbos back towards my table edge. middle chimeras move towards the serpent. middle vendetta turns around to target the serpent. alrahem's pcs rolls forward to burn the storm guardians and avengers followed by the infantry chimeras. melta vets take out the serpent. both manticores fire at the wraithguard + yriel that fall out of the serpent and scatter off. Middle Vendetta fires at the wraithguard + yriel killing 1. inquisitor plasmas fire at the small wraiths killing 2. alrahem's chimera burns some avengers and they fire out the top at them and so does the infantry chimera behind killing most of the storm guardians and a couple avengers

Lou's Turn 3
eldrad fortunes the both wraith squads and guides the small one. hood blocks nothing again. Big wraiths moves towards alrahem's chimera, small wraiths moves towards the turbo boasted vendetta. wraiths with yriel move towards the auto melta vets chimera. big wraiths explodes al rahem's chimera doing a wound to alrahem and killing 1. little wraiths shakes the turbo boasted vendetta. yriel's wraiths fire at the auto melta vets chimera and stun it and then charge it and wreck it and the vets pop out and are pinned.

My turn 4
Middle Vendetta moves to target yriel's wraith guard. ccs chimera moves up. Alrahem's squad moves up in the crater. CCS issues get back on the fight on pinned vets and they fire at the wraithguard + yriel, ccs also fires at them as does the vendetta and hydra this kills all but yriel. Manticores fire at the big wraiths but wiff. inquisitor plasma and immobile vendetta finishes off little wraiths. other vendetta fires a single las at big wraiths but eldrad invulns it. Alrahem's squad finishes off the storm guardians and the chimera behind fire at the dire avengers killing a couple.

Picture after my turn 4


Lou's Turn 4
Eldrad fortunes the big wraiths and guides but I block guide and he recasts it. Big wraiths moves towards arahem's squad. Yriel moves and fleets through the building. Big wraiths explodes an infantry chimera and alot of them die in the explosion and are pinned. (made a mistake with bad placement of these infantry guys makes it so the other chimera can't make it through.) dire avengers blade storm alrahem's unit leaving alrahem all alone. yriel charges the auto melta vet chimera and blows it up but they make their pinning and leadership.


Picture after Lou's turn 4


My turn 5
Manticore rolls up to burn Yriel. Vendetta turns around to target big wraiths. Hydra pivots to target yriel. alrahem rolls bad for difficult terrain and is out of assault range of the dire avengers. Totally forgot to move the right vendetta might have been able to turbo to contest objective but it was kinda tight with the wings fitting by the building. auto melta vets kill off yriel. vendetta fires at the big wraiths and kills off the warlock. hydra shoots at big wraiths and wiffs.

Lous turn 5
Eldar fortune and guides big wraiths and dooms my little squad. Again block nothing with the hood. Big wraiths moves up. his troops cower in cover on the objective. Big wraiths blows up the other infantry chimera.

We roll and the game ends

First picture after game end


I have my objective



he has his objective

Results
We tie primary and I get secondary with 2 bonus points for 27 battle points
+1 all your h1 units are still on the board
+1 one or more of your scoring units are in the enemy deployment zone

MVP: Vendettas took out his wraith lords and some wraith guard.

Opps it did nothing: would have expected the hood to block more then 1 power.

Game Analysis:
Made a few mistakes this game.
1. Should have brought in alrahem right on the objective.
2. forgot about my vets in the immobilized vendetta they should have gotten out and taken shots at the big wraiths. forcing him to deal with them.
3. bad placement of infantry when my infantry chimera blew up blocked off the last one from driving 12 for the objective and getting them out.
4. forgot to try and turbo the right vendetta onto the objective.

Joe's IG vs Rich's Space Marines - last turn


Final results.
I edge out Joe by one battle point since Joe and Rich drew for first and get 2 razorbacks and a wolfpack for my wolf army.

Only thing that I had a question about. why were wraithguard shooting your vandettas, when they had a range of 18 with movement and your range is 48? Killing wraithlords was pretty lolz, its so easy with lascannons needing 3s to wound. Interesting eldar list although its a really bad list imo.

good batreps as always, pretty tactically sound, as well as having a pretty insanly powerful list.

thanks for writing the batrep.

Nice batrep. btw whos that girl in the black dress, looks cute

Smitty0305
The buildings in the middle obscured his Wraith Lords so to take them out without them getting cover and possible fortune. I had to scout turbo boast so I was close to his wraithguard. Probably should have turboed back to my side when shaken instead of still being in range of his guns.

Lou likes his Iyanden and did an amazing job with conversions and painting them. I admire that he sticks with his Iyanden even though its not the most competitive thing around.

Mech Guard actually has huge problems with Space Wolves and to a lesser extent BA but I haven't run into Space Wolves much and been doing alright against BA. Grey Knights is another story. You'll probably see some Space Wolf Bat Reps from me soon as thats the army I'm working on for 2012. Its been a good 2 year run with IG.

SonsofVulkan
The girl in the black dress is the girlfriend of the guy next to her in red. I forget their names now :(.

@Kirika
Congratulations on the win. Nice battle report. Nice to see you learning from your mistakes.

Looking forward to your Space Wolf Battle Reports

Why doesn't Rich write battle reports? Would be interesting to see his point of view. His Marines look nice.
