Pred - AC/HB sponsons

Mission: 4 Objectives
Deployment: Table Quarters

I won first turn and he failed to seize.

Turn 1 DE
------------
- I move up everything
- Trueborn hop outta one venom
- Shooting sees me blow the pred up and knock a demo cannon off one vindi

Turn 1 BA
------------
- He moves up aggressively, trying to get range on my stuff. Both razors squads get out.
- Shooting sees me make a LOT of cover and FF saves... result is he wrecks 1 raider and 1 ravager

Turn 2 DE
------------
- My army positions to try and eliminate his ranged AT
- This turn sees me wreck 1 razorback, and neuter the other (nothing left), and wreck his other vindicator. I also pluck off a few marines
- No assaults yet

Turn 2 BA
------------
- Moves up more and shoots to no real effect... he also charges a bunch of raiders/ravagers that6 moved 12"+, fails to knock any out.

Turn 3 DE
------------
- This turn I basically charge and wipe out both priests, most of both jump squads, and 4/5 of one razor squad. We stick everywhere

Turn 3 BA
------------
- His typhoon runs and shoots Dukes squad, killing a few. Subsequently, I win all my combats and hes down to just 1 jump squad with his chappy and 1 dude left, and one 5 man squad, and his other vindicator.

Turn 4 DE
------------
- I mop the floor with the rest of his army.... tabled.

Casualties:
BA - everything
DE - 1 raider, 1 ravager, about 7 wyches, 1 trueborn

Heavy

Mission: Kill Points
Deployment: Spearhead

I won the roll to go first and he failed to seize

DE Turn 1
------------
My raiders flat out to get outta plasma cannon range. Both ravagers move to blast his razor. I manage to stun and wep destroy it

BA Turn 1
------------
He moves his jumpers up. Shooting he hits ALL 4 PC's and blows a lance off and shakes one ravager.

DE Turn 2
------------
Heres where I make a big mistake. All 3 raiders flat out toward his devs. In shooting my lone ravager immobilizes the razorback.

BA Turn 2
------------
His jumpers move toward my raiders. His razor squad gets out and runs. His PC's hit all 4 AGAIN and he manages to wreck the dukes ride. His jumpers wreck one wych raider, I manage to get my agonizers into BTB with his priest... I hit 3 times, and fail all my wounds. My squad gets plowed, hard. Hes up 2 KP - 0 KP

DE Turn 3
------------
Dukes squad moves up to help what few wyches are left in combat. Both ravagers move to shoot his 6 man squad. My back raider moves up 12" and my wyches get out to charge his devs. In assault I manage to kill the priest in the chaplains squad as well as most of the marines. They stick. I charge his devs... I hit the priest there with my agonizer twice... failing to wound. UGH. My wyches get run off by the devs with 4 left. I manage to kill 1 more dude somewhere. I also wreck the razorback finally. Hes up 3 KP - 2 KP

BA turn 3
-----------
Not much to move. He just shoots and wrecks one more raider. He also pecks my running squad down to 1 guy. In assault I kill the chaplain but the TH sergeant REFUSES to die. By now hes killed my second wych squad. I'm stuck in combat with 1 marine... He up 5 KP - 3 KP

DE turn 4
-----------
Kill his last marine... peck away a few more guys. Hes up 5 KP-4 KP

BA turnj 4
------------
He pummels dukes squad with plasma death, but they live with duke taking 1 wound and my haemi taking 1. He kills my last running wych. Hes up 5 KP - 4 KP

DE turn 5
-----------
Heres where I fail again.... So the duke with 5 wyches make it into the devestators. I also peck down his other squad to just 2 guys. Now, I get my succubus into BTB with his priest AGAIN... and AGAIN I fail to wound!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARG. Needless to say his FnP rolls are excellent, I win combat but he sticks. Hes up 5 KP - 4 KP

BA turn 5
-----------
He charges all the rest of his guys into me... yet again, I try to kill the priest. 2 hits...... NO WOUNDS!!!!! At this point I'm face palming at the fail that is my agonizers this game. He wins combat, leaving just the duke with 1 wound. Hes up 6 KP-4 KP. We call it here; dukes locked in CC (with no shadow field anymore) against 3 PW's and 5 normal marines, no way I'll live through that one.

Victory for the BA!

Afterthoughts
Game 1: Was picture perfect for the most part; good rolls were helpful here too. I took down his big guns and ran multiple wych squads into units I knew I'd struggle with.
Game 2: Bad luck here.... I couldn't kill a priest to save my LIFE and he was on fire with his FnP rolls! I was consistently doing 9 normal wounds in CC... and hed manage only to lose 1 marine most of the time. Craziness. And my agonizers were wet noodles lol.

Hope you enjoyed the small reps!

Nice (short) reports. The BA lists were not optimal - mixed armies do not cut it.

For sure. we talked a while about lists and he likes to run (very) varied lists; hopefully tomorrow I can face some more optimal lists. One guy there insists my list cannot handle his friends Purifier spam... well see I suppose!

Dark Eldar can handle purifier spam, just get those night shields in keep range and watch him cry when he comes to you and you unload your full shooting.

Also Beast packs... they don't like that either, cleansing flame is doing damage but with one successfull attack phase you can wipe those small units.

We already did the test, and it was a draw, 2 more turns and i would have lost all purifiers...

Well, Purifier spam is hard to handle even for DE. In cc, Purifiers eventually inflict wounds before DE is able to hit. Moreover, as spam plays vs. spam, the outcome in a KP battle could be a remis.

This batrep sorta reminded me of a game I recently played against dark eldar... Apart from it was his dice failing. First turn, my vindicator blew up 3 jetbikes and 1 scourge, a lazorback exploded his raider and 9/10 of the squad inside and my ally wiped a warrior squad too. He didn't manage a single save all game iirc.

Nice concise batreps! And congrats on the win to both of ya

Good games. You had list-superiority in game #1. He had luck-superiority in game #2.

Depending on how the purifier-spam army is built, DE may or may not beat them. The key lies in the number of dreads and whether DE takes beastpacks or not.

I intend to add a beastpack for 2k games, but at 1850 I think its pretty solid. I really like the Duke; makes my Wyches even better because I'm pretty much never going to get a "bad" drug lol

i even take a pack at 1500, a small one, but enought to make the opponet worried

at 1500 i have

sliscuss

3 blasterborn in venom/cannon
3 blasterborn in venom/cannon

9 Warriors in raider/ff (Sliscus goes there)
8 Whyches, Haywire,Agonizer in raider/ff
8 Whyches, Haywire,Agonizer in raider/ff

3 Beastmaster, 4 khymerae, 4 razorwing flocks

1 Ravagers/ff&Nightshields
1 Ravagers/ff&Nightshields
1 Ravagers/ff&Nightshields

so goint to 1850, i would add another unit of whyches in raider, another beastpack

going to 2K you can add another unit of blasterborn.

See I dunno if I'd be comfortable running without my Haemis.... they keep stuff alive and kicking
