Here is the battle report. Jason takes his new flying fateweaver list of nasty against my Dark Eldar. Who will prevail? The battle report is action packed and a sure nail biter till the end!




Cheers!
Comments appreciated.

Good game mate! That is the worst mission for the dark kin to have to play and you stuck to it! Good attitude and close victory. Btw I don't think he can go to ground repeatedly in order to avoid squad coherency which should have made it easier for the night spinner to handle him. I think had you not engaged him in your turn with your wyches and instead spread out forcing his screamers to play chase all game you could have gone for the easy troop kills, again though it's not an easy mission as you offer up more then double the KP's and much easier ones at that. Had you played keep away it wouldn't have been very engaging for your opponent either.

Thanks

Tough game, but it's always good to see a player hanging in to the end. You never know when luck, skill or a big mistake will change the game in your favour.

Tbh those Deamon Princes of tzeentch are much to expensive for what they bring, but i do like the idea of the list altough i feel there are more options if you would not play the DP and go for more heralds and maybe some fast units.

I agree, sticking it till the end is super important. Also, the list has already had some changes, what I played against was a first draft. The herald has been upped to lv 3 to increase chances for forewarning and the DP has been lowered to lv 2 as they don't need it as much. Jason will sure develop the list more competitively as well.

You used the focus fire wrongly I think, what cover save did you declare when firing on them?.

Very ballsy with Fatey, he isnt that hard to kill for anyone.

Now that you point it out, I did focuss fire wrongly. As they had toorboboosted they all have the same coversave anyhow! Interesting.

I did go after fateweaver, but that's cause he had wasted his re roll to try and prevent another DP from being grounded and failed the re roll. Fatey had to die.

Also with focus fire you cannot look out sir wounds to models with a cover save better then what you declared, its moot in this point as you relised the jink save made it pointless!.

Really? I thought you could look out sir to anyone.

you can always look out sir, to whatever model that is close enough, only exception is the vindicaire

Focus fire says you cannot allocate wounds to any model with a better cover save then declared, look out sir is a reallocation so RAW no you cannot.

Regardless of the wound allocation debate. It was done wrong in the first place
Also the Dark Eldar list:

Archon, Shadow Field, Venomblade, Combat Drugs, Haywires

Farseer

4 incubi in venom with dual cannon

3 Eldar Jetbikes
10 kabalites SC in Raider X 2
5 wyches, haywires in venom with dual cannon X 2

2 BM, 5 Kymera, 2 Razorwings

Ravager
Vaidraven
Nightspinner

After playing this list, the 10 man kabalite units were by far the best part of the list. I am considering a shard of anaris farseer to make my units fearless where needed.
