Beautiful paint job on the siege shields of the Vindicators!

Nice report, thanks for sharing in spite of the terrible rolling for those terminators on armor and movement.

Beautiful paintjobs. What did you have for your Razorwing? Was that just a Ravager? I've been meaning to start up a Dark Eldar army here soon, just have a squad or two in my orks to finish painting first though.

Sucks for the SW player on his rolls, but sometimes it happens. The only major errors I saw really were him basically setting up his Razorbacks to get locked into a traffic stop, and assaulting the Incubi.

Wrong BatRep mate.

Also littlenibbler Orks aren't about armour saves.
Orks are about having too many models on the table, and wasting the other guy's time with your movement phase.
Orks are about having the toughest units on the table.
Orks are about not caring about how many bodies are left in a long winding trail until the squad is down to less than a third its starting strength.
Orks are about rolling more dice then you can count without the aid of a calculator or a pen and paper.
Orks are about having totally fething insane characters tearing gak down like Doc Grotsnik, Ghazghkull or Snikrot.
Orks are about being too fething awesome to die...

The razorwing is custom built from a raider chasis. I have to say I am happy with the model GW will be releasing for the Razorwing soon, I will purchase a few.

Being the Dark Eldar player in the video, I think the SW player made many mistakes.

Firstly one squad of Long fangs was deployed, the whole squad, on the 2nd floor of small buidling in center of deploy. Razorwing and Venom death. At least deploy them on seperate levels, and put them somewhere that getting a shot will expose the DE vehicles to concentrated counter-fire. Put the long fangs on the ground in the back screened on both sides by vehicles and terrain. Thats also my Space Wolve army. I probably would have kept both sets of long fangs in thier razorbacks for the first part of the fight.

The razorbacks and rhinos were deployed pretty badly. One or the other needs to provide cover. Three of the four objectives were grouped together near the middle of the right side of the board. There was no need to spead out, at all. With the additional victory condition being an extra objective for killing the wolf priest, that guy should have been in his rhino behind the two GH razorbacks in a counter attack position. ALL of the Razorbacks could have been deployed in his cornerin great shooty positions probably with cover from most attack angles.

he spread out during turn 1 with no DE on the table, and got the 2nd set of long fangs out. opponents do this often, and form a line down the center of the table. people think this is a supported force but its not, my dark eldar are so mobile that this arrangement is the easiest for me to eat one unit at a time or at the Least, dictate all combats everywhere.

once the DE force started to get on the board he attacked the trueborn raider with thunderwolves and jumped his two big rhino melta squads out of thier vehicles to kill heavies. the wolf priest was literally out in the open when the incubi/archon ate him and his squad. the other grey hunters that got out died also to shooting. the thunderwolf charge finally split his army in half and completly unable to support or attack the other half. watch the video battle report and the space wolf forces move away from each other the whole game.

he should have concentrated his army right in the middle of the three objective cluster and made the dark eldar demech him before any fighting. that would have been an entirely different match, and around turn 3/4 he should have had quite a plasma barrage that should have done some real damage somewhere it counted to the DE.

anyways, thanks all!
