A friend is trying out the new Blood Angels so I accepted the challenge. Enjoy!

750 Eldar


750 Baal Strike Force Blood Angels

Good report as always, welcome back

Think the SM player made a few mistakes though - DS'ing into the middle of the Eldar Force with no cover/LOS blocking was a bit silly. Also, I think if anything he was a bit too maelstrom orientated - he probably should have loaded one flank and focused down some of the Eldar units to remove threats/reduce scoring ability before going after objectives himself. Still, he was pretty much up against it from the start.....

Thanks! Yea, I took December off but hit it hard recently especially with Necrons coming out soon! There will be more reports coming in a week or two.

You are correct about the Blood Angels player but this was his first time to play the BA so he was more or less trying things out. Since, the BA have played much better, even winning some. I tried to bring an Eldar list without a flyer, Wraithknight, three War Walkers, etc, but it was still the 6th edition unbalance against 7th. Eldar are still too good/broken.

He has recently made list modifications that include drop pods, better movement, etc. You can see two of the reports here where he faces Dark Eldar and Space Wolves: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/633089.page
