This is a very close game between my dark eldar and my friends ork army. The mission was emperors will, with vanguard strike deployment.

hope you enjoy.

Come about turn 3 I had pretty much given the dark eldar a write-off. But it was a lot closer, it's always interesting how a small unit like warriors in a venom can make such a difference by jumping out onto an objective right at the end. I've been caught out numerous times by those, distracted by larger units, then a small one nips in at the end. I would agree that the wyches and incubi weren't fantastic, and I wasn't really expecting a huge amount from them in this situation. What did surprise me were the trakks and kans, I felt they did a lot more in shooting than what they should of. Seemed like everything was a hit with them.

Rerolls and sheer waight of fire from the orks did make them irritatingly accurate. But I felt by almost pulling the game back itwasnt a total loss.

That was a sweet game of 40k, I love a game that starts one way but then changes up after a few turns. I really was unsure who had won when you said the game ended but firstblood got him the win. Still well played!

Warlord traits: nothing useful. lol. When the army gets its codex, the warlord traits found within seem to end up replacing the underpowered garbage in the brb.

I totally forgot which traits we got but they didn't do anything. I agree the race spevufit ones are miles better.

Great battle. Orks and Dark Eldar are my main armies, so I really enjoy seeing them go at each other like this. Surprised at how close it came up. Managed to stay exciting the whole time though!

Great Report! You can't stop Da Green Tide, but you sure tried!

I look forward to reading your next report.

Peace Out!
Jonny!
