Game 1 vs Space Marines He had a leadership 9 librarian with command squad, 8 terminators with 2 assault cannons, 1 scout squad of 8 and another of 8 brimming with sniper rifles and a missile launcher, devastator squad of 8 with 4 heavy bolters and another of 8 with four missile launchers. All units had infiltration and the command squad had a 6+ invulnerable save.

After rolling on disruption table he started with everything off the table except for heavy bolter squad which was placed in my right quarter and was pinned and another scout squad in his quarter which was pinned too.

He got first turn and did nothing in my first turn I shot at his scouts and pinned them with my rangers and reduced the devastator squad to two men. In his second turn he got just the other scout squad and tried to hide the two heavy bolter models. Vyper killed these off and that is when his terminators and command squad came in. I lost a unit of rangers to both units shooting and meanwhile my mini seer council and wraithlord had come up and charged into the termies and the command squad. I fail both Fortunes and both get squashed to bits. I manage to lose a Vyper to the missile launchers of the Devastators. Shooting kills off the Sniper/missile launcher scouts and also the other devastator unit.

I end up getting the two adjacent quarters and my own.

13-7 victory for the Eldar.

Game Two vs Tyranids

Flying Hive Tyrant, Broodlord with retinue, 2 Zoanthropes, 2 Carnifexes, 2 Lictors, 3 units of Ripper Swarms, 1 units of Hormaugaunts and 2 units of spine gaunts.

Mission is Recon. Disruption table is just beautiful. Off table I get to take off the Tyrant, the Broodlord with retinue and the Zoanthropes. Shooting puts two wounds on one of the carnifexes.

Having no Synapse Creature on table he gives me first turn. I shoot down one of the Carnifexes and reduce one units of ripper swrm to just one base. His first turn is ineffectual as he lurks with everything. Shooting takes off one wound from other Carnifex and two units of ripper swarms are taken off. In his second turn everything turns up except one Lictor. One Lictor appears in one building where it charges into a unit of guardians which over two turns proceed to beat it dead!!! The other appears a turn later kills off two ranger squads but then is left in open and two other units of rangers exact revenge.

Meanwhile one of my wraithlord charges into the unit of the Broodlord which had been decimated by Vyper fire. He manges to roll no Rending at all over two turns and the Wraithlord ends up winning and then go off to enter his deployment zone and barbecque a whole unit of spine gaunts.

Another Wraithlord charged a Carnifex and as he was in cover struck first and he had an upgrade which reduces by one opponents WS, so he attacked with three attacks hitting on threes and wounding on twos and so bye bye Wraithlord. He and the Hive Tyrant ganged up on another Wraithlord and killed him off but both were left in open and soon starcannons brought them both down. Meanwhile the mini seer council had killed off the other Ripper Swarms, the Hormaugaunst and the other unit of Spine Gaunts. Starcannons also spelt doom for one of the Zoanthropes. He was left with one Zoanthrope and I finished with 4 Vypers in his Deployment Zone.

20-0 Victory for the Eldar.

Game 3- vs Saim Hann Eldar

Farseer on Jetbike (about 180 pts), Wild Rider Chief with eight Wild Bunch guys with 5 shuriken cannons in all, 4 Vypers with Starcannons, Wraithlord and Fire Dragons with Exarch in a Wave Serpent.

The Mission was Seek and Destroy. Disruption Table had me shooting a wound off the Wraithlord and putting in reserve his HQ (as both had been deployed as one unit). These ended up coming in turn 3.

In his first turn he moved the Wave Serpent fully forward and with Star Engines he tried to Tank shock off the board 2 units of Rangers and one unit of Defenders. I passed all leadership tests and in doing so he opened up his rear to the units. Starcannon shots brought the Wave Serpent down and combined with shuriken catapult fire killed off all the Fire Dragons.

The mini Seer Council took care of the Wraithlord and then were shot down by the HQ unit which had just entered the table and then assaulted the mini seer council and were run down. However I had cornered him in one side of the table and one Wraithlord charged the HQ and brought them down (they had been depleted by shooting) and other shooting took down his Vypers.

20-0 Victory for Alaitoc

Gmae 4- Vs Necrons

His army consisted of Deceiver, 2 unit of 3 Destroyers, 2 units of 10 warriors and 3 units of about 7 Immortals each.

Mission is Recon Disruption Table has me taking two wounds off Deceiver, pinning one unit of Destroyers and one unit of Immortals. Another unit of Destroyers is taken off table.
He huddles everything behind a wood, and tries to hide the Deceiver away from Rangers. Shooting kills off the unit of Destroyers and the other unit when it enters the table. His We will Be Back rolls are immaculate on other units. He kills off some Ranger squads but I do not let him get anything else. Once one of my Wraithlord is near his Deceiver charges him and squashes him then he charges the mini Seer Council who promptly chop him up. Shooting kills one warrior squad and half another he fails a leadership test and promptly runs off table. In last turn one Wraithlord and all Vypers enter his deployment zone and another Wraithlord makes mince meat of one unit of Immortals.

20-0 Victory to Eldar.

I got 28 points out of 30 for painting. I ended up winning First Place Best Overall and Best General.

Damn. Hard list (in game terms) I thought in GWland that one could not win more then one award? How many players were there?

Strong list for the low point limit. At 1500 or below thouse 3 Wraithlords and multiple disruption rolls are more then most armys can swallow. Congratulations to the win.
