Great battle. It's absurd how much movement goes on between a mechdar and Dark Eldar list. Nothing more to say, other than it was one of your most interesting battles in my opinion.

Did Urien not have FnP? Also shouldn't he have been able to reroll to-hit or to-wound because he has extra people on his side cheering him on? I'm not too familiar with challenge rules though. I do admit it was funny that the only thing going on was a major battle between the two HQs at the end while the entire Dark Eldar army watches on.

Was that title a reference to Boondock Saints btw?

Also, I'm just about finished up painting my Dark Eldar (finally) and was thinking of getting a Talos and Cronos to paint and occasionally play with. Any suggestions on loadouts for them? You seem to use one or the other quite frequently.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, the movement is a big deal especially for any eldar player. Mastery of it will win you games on its own.
Yes, he did have fnp. I forgot tho. In order to be cheered on, a unit must have 5 models at least and can count the bonus for every 5 models. In the same unit.
There was a slaaap fiiight! - yes.

I love taloi. They are awesome. Best used in pairs. Takes gettin used to not having ravagers however.

Awesome batrep!

Thanks! (The only thing missing is the tactical corner, I hope I can get to it this week)

You forgot about uriens feel no pain :(

Yes. I did, luckily he did not die, so it was not that much of an issue.

Nice bat rep Skari, I like your dramatic voice when you retell what is going on! haha, nice touch.

Its all about the drama and tone of voice. I like the epicness of it. Hehe, all about forging that natrative, lol. Its like telling a story imo.

I do love your reports. You make it out to be like I'm watching The Super Bowl of 40k. Actually, I guess with your accent it sounds like Man U vs. Arsenal.

Anyway, great report. Beautiful army(ies). I'm missing that Tactical Corner. I find the recap useful for learning purposes. Keep up the good work.

Your Eldar friend should try a couple TL Scatters on the Serpents. TwinLinking the Shield makes it killer.

Yes. He was well aware of the lack of the scatterlasers. Was keeping it WYSIWYG for gaming purposes. he has ordered some in and will be magnetizing the options.

Great battlereport as always. Thanks for sharing. Why am I the only player in my local group with fully painted armies? Would love to do an all-painted battle report at some point.

Fully painted is the way this game is meant to be played!
