Subject: Smurfs(Shrooms in the sky) vs Dark Eldar - 1750pts - The Defence of Gargamels Chapel - Completed! -
Time for another batrep! Played against the New Us again, this time full blown Smurfs! Its a sorta rematch from last game, will the blueboys stop uriens rampaging? Vote before you read!
1750 Smurfs!
Smurfin List:
Spoiler:
Smurfette (Tiggy)
Pappa Smurf (Calgar) Armed with the Gauntlets of Ultrasmurf
Pappa Smurf ( Dreadnought) - Drop pod
10 Tactical Smurfs, MMelta, melta, combi melta - Drop Pod
10 Tactical Smurfs, MMelta, melta, combi melta - Drop Pod
10 Tactical Smurfs, Mmelta, melta, combi melta - Drop Pod
9 Tactical Smurfs, Flamer, Combi melta, meltabomb - Drop Pod
The mission was simple. Do not let Gargamel get taken as a slave back to commoragh... he might get good at his alchemy and magic!
On a serious note.
The mission was Crusade (3 Objectives)
Deployment was Hammer and Anvil
Initiative- Dark Eldar
Pre Game Analysis:
Spoiler:
Smurfs: The Centurions + Tiggy have to survive for a turn for the drop pods to show up. The drop pods are key, with propper target priority the Dark Eldar will be taking a lot of damage from the initial drop and this should cripple them.
Dark Eldar: The coven has played a very similar army of ultramarines not too long ago, this army relied on rhinos rather than drop pods. The Tiggy + centurions could be devastating against the Talos, so staying out of range is important. The advantage is for the space smurfs.
Smurf Deployment:
Spoiler:
Drop Pods at the ready, the only thing deployed were the Centurions and Tiggy in a ruin.
The Covens Deployment:
Spoiler:
Ready to go first, the Coven spread out. If the Centurions deployed centrally the taloi were to step back and support the advance later, but they deployed in a ruin. The plan was to advance and hit the Smurfs with everything on turn 1 to do as much damage! - if they were tabled then I win...
Infiltrators:
Spoiler:
None
Scouts:
Spoiler:
None
Turn1
Spoiler:
The Smurfs Try to steal!
They fail.
And the forces array for battle.
Coven: The Dark Eldar advance! And everything that can fires into Tiggy and the centurions... when the dust settles!:
All is left is tiggy with one wound, and a centurion with one wound... So close!
Smurfs: Tactical Doctrine. The Drop pods scream to the ground. The dreadnought, and two full tactical squads. Their aim is to knock as many venoms out of the air as possible before they do more damage.
Shooting sees the trueborn venom explode kiling 6 warrios for First Blood. The Wrack raider also goes down and another venom looses a hullpoint and a cannon.
Both units pass their pinning tests and its on to the Dark Eldar turn!
Turn2
Spoiler:
Much Carnage, the Coven roll for their reserves. The Blasterborn and their venom show up. The razorwing and the warriors are sitting in reserve, waiting for the Smurfs to commit.
Coven: The Coven surrounds the newly arrived Smurfs... liquifiers at the ready (flashback to the last game against the Ultrasmurfs)
Before
After the liquifiers:
The wytches had charged Granpa smurf (the dreadnought) only to rip his MMelta off and then loose combat! They are falling back. But the Smurfs have taken massive casualties. In combat one of the talos charges a Mushroom (drop pod) and wrecks it.
Smurfs: Tactical Doctrine.The other two drop pods and the Storm Talon arrive! Time to press the pressure home on the coven.
Tiggy and the remaining centurion fire and immobilize Uriens Raider:
Pappa smurf and his drop pod arrive near Uriens Raider and wreck it after the centurion volley:
On the other Flank the other tac squad shows up. The Grandpa Smurf assaults and blows up the other wytch venom. The other venom gets taken down by one combat squad and the wracks loose two members to the bolters... I got lucky there:
The Smurfs have laid out their hand!
Turn3
Spoiler:
The coven rolls for their reserves. The Raider full of warriors arrives, and boosts up the flank that Urien is on to help take that objective later in the game. The razorwing moves to engage the Storm Talon to try and gain air superiority. The rest of the army shuffles arround, to take advantage of the clumped up marines once again.
Urien Looks menacingly at pappa smurf! A showdown at the ready.
And THEN! - Life got in the way. My opponent was called away to a family emergency an was unable to finish the game. So... this part of the report is purely theoretical, what would you have done? Now that you have seen the opening gambits for the armies, who do you think had the upper hand? Thanks a lot for reading! (And this is how I felt when they cancelled Firefly...)
Turn 4
Spoiler:
Heroes Clash
Turn5
Spoiler:
A Flash of light
Turn6
Spoiler:
Distant Rumbling
Turn7
Spoiler:
Smoke

WMG: The last ever story of 40k will finally hit M42; only to reveal that Trazyn has completed his greatest heist; stuffing the entire universe into a hyper-pocket.
Thus ending the true and grandest conflict of 40k.
The contest of thievery between the Blood Ravens and Trazyn.

That is quite literally hilarious. Though, as cool as it is it would reduce the immersion factor a bit. Plus the whole awkward one liners about the shrooms...
DE list and army up. Yes, lets say I was amazed at the smurfiness! And if you look closely there was even a baby smurf... like, how could the DE ever do wrong to a baby smurf...
Have an exalt...this is the best thing...ever...XD

That army is incredible. There are even smurf centurion devastator centurions. Were you even able to finish the game before you passed out from laughing?

Oh my god, that army. Well I'm certainly looking forward to seeing this batrep!
Nice, I cant wait to finish writing it.
This army reveal the real purpose of GW by creating Ultramarines ! Excellent !!
The consipracy revealed!

Sweet! Thanks.

I know right?! the Centurion devs actually have the smurf legs at the back where the Power armour legs would fit, very well made. The little one with a present in the one squad has a meltabomb.
I would love to play against that Smurf army. I love that you haven't taken yourself to seriously and have made a fun and unique army for yourself.
Not my army... but he is very proud of it! and well deserved. You can see the Creation of this army from start to finish HERE.
I updated the first post. I will have to work at this one slowly, very very busy at work so thanks all for being patient!

I came here expecting ultramarines...which this is...but, actual smurfs. What in the actual f**k?! I love it, but I am equally horrified. Somewhere, a line was crossed. Not sure where, but it was crossed. So right, and so wrong.
Mandatory exalt. Also mandatory that I root for the coven to purge this evil filth. It takes something this wrong to make a flesh carnival look pure....
The most important rule of 40K-Page XVII of the 6th edition rulebook, the figure at the top right of the page. "Shake hands with your opponent and thank them for a good battle and fun experience." Then go out for a beer.

The drop pods are going to be key. And Ill give you a hint, thanks to tiggy ALL the pods will be in by turn 2.
The split from votes sees the SMURFS up 60 to the Dark Eldars 40 with forty votes so far. Ok, let's get this party started. I actually have the day off work tomorrow! This means I will be able to write this up.
