My first game with just Coteaz turned out a tie, but I was happy with just Coteaz & no Vect. I got lucky rolling for Coteaz' powers & got the ignore cover from shooting + prescience. My plasma cannon servitor did some work against objective holding space marines. Hope to experiment a little more this week.

Nice. Its good to see that it was working for you. Im excited to play larger games as well.

I played game 2! And I shall post a tactical overview of the game presently. (just need to finish the batrep im writing first).

**SkaredCast**

Well Game 2 was against CSM. And I tabled him in 5...
Important thing to note. The sieze falied twice.

tactically the only real threats were abby, the forgefiend and the helldrake... took out his long range AT the forgefiend before he took out a second ravager. abby deepstruck in and was focussed down by all the venoms with his terminator retinue and the hellturkey actually got snap shot in the rear end by a ravager.

All in all a great game for the vect list.

And I have now, played games 3, 4 and 5.

Vs JetseerStar - Sieze succeeded
Vs Space Marines - Sieze succeded
Vs Deamons - Sieze failed

All in all a good couple of games to test the capability of the list.

Game 6 was against waveserpent spam
Game 7 was against space wolves... GH, T-wolves and long fangs.

So, I have altered my list you can see the new version HERE.

Tactically I have made a few changes that make more sense for the overall feel of the style of army. Some Eldar allies provide much needed support in the form of divination and some more tactical flexibility, cheap, fast scoring unit in the form of eldar jetbikes (as well as their incredible reach) and a unit of scatterlaser warwalkers to scout, outflank and actually act as more of a firemagnet than my ravagers.

Thoughts?

Played game 8 vs ultramarines - took out the centurions and the stalker and then the venoms ate the rest of the foot based army.

Played game 9 vs Imperial Fists - vect went on a rampage, the outflanking warwalkers really helped in putting pressure on the enemy backfield.

2 things: I really like your batreps and I really like Vect. As a matter of fact, I just got into DE specifically to play Vect with my Eldar. As to your list of eldar allies, I'm thinking that if you tossed Bright Lances on those Warwalkers you'd be a little better off in the Anti-tank department. You have tons of anti-infantry with the poisoned shots, but if those 2 Ravagers go down you have no tank busters (I know there's lots of Blasters, but they're so short-ranged that it seems they may not get to their target alive). Another thought is to throw Grisly Trophies on one of the vehicles to help your Jetseer pass his Psychic tests. I can't wait to see more batreps.

Here's my Eldar with DE allies list and strategy, I've only gotten one game in so far but it resulted in thrashing Chaos Demons with Chaos Marine allies.
