Mission parameters
Terrain: Roll off for terrain, highest roll chooses 1st piece. Switch off deploying terrain, scattering the terrain 3d6 after each placement. Terrain may not be within 6” of the center of the table or 6” from another piece of terrain.

Deployment: Spearhead

Game Length: At the end of turn 5 a player must roll a dice. On a 1-2 the game ends immediately, on a 3+ the game continues for turn 6. If this is the case a player will roll another dice at the end of turn 6. On a 1-3 the game ends where as a result of a 4+ the game continues for turn 7. The game ends immediately after turn 7.

Victory Conditions: Control more objectives than your opponent

Special Rules: After deployment, place 3 Objectives onto the table top. Players will alternate placing markers, roll off to see who will make the first drop. After placing the markers, scatter each marker 3d6”. If the scatter die shows a “hit” result, follow the arrow on the “hit” symbol to determine the direction of the scatter. Each objective will always scatter. Follow page 90 of the rule book to hold an objective (Scoring unit Rules)

Battle Points:
20 Win
10 Draw
5 Loss

Bonus Modifiers: Even if you score all five modifiers, only a total of +4 may ever be given!
+1 Point for Killing at least one of your opponents HQ’s.
+1 Point if your opponent controls zero markers.
+1 Point for having more Kill points than your opponent.
+1 Point if your highest VP unit(Squad/Vehicle/HQ/Monster) is still above 50% at the end of the game.
+1 Point if your opponent has been “Tabled” (If you have slain the entire enemy force)

Terrain
We place the terain fairly even with a peice in each corner which scatters some

Objectives
I win the roll to place objectives and objectives get placed in 3 of the corners with 2 on my side

Deployment
He won first turn but he did not swap sides and he reserved everything so I reserved everything too. I would have though he would have started the Archon on the board to open up the webway portal but he did not.

Opponent turn 1
nothing

my turn 1
nothing

Opponent turn 2
He gets in his Archon + Incubi Raider, Hellions and Scourges. He brings the Archon raider in on the right and the scourges behind a rock and the hellions jump to behind the tree in the middle.

My turn 2
I get in 1 empty Vendetta, Both Manticores, Company Command, 1 las plas and 1 melta vets. The las plas vets drive 12 inches towards the objective and smoke. First Manticore fires off 3 missles and wipes his Hellions that are clumped too much. Second Manticore takes a nice bite out of his Scourges by the rock. Between the Vendetta and 2 Chimera multi lasers and flicker field saves I get a stunned raider.



Opponent Turn 3
He gets in 3 warrior raiders. He brings on 2 by the objective on his side and brings the other on my right side. His Incubi and archon get out of the stunned raider and move into the terrain. The 2 Raiders on the right fire at the las plas vet chimera that smoked. One fails to penetrate and the other misses because of the smoke. His hellions jump to behind the tree. The archon and incubi run. The warrior raider on the right fires at the vendetta on the right and shakes it.

My Turn 3
I get all my other reserves. My remaining Vendettas with infantry in them come on his side near the objective. The 2nd las plas rolls on 12 and smokes. Platoon command rolls on the right near the objective. Psykers roll on behind the smoking las plas vets. Shaken Vendetta turbos to the left to get a cover save. Vendettas fire at his left raiders. I shake one and the other one gets immoblized. The left las plas fires at the immobilized raider and gets a weapon destroyed. first manticore fires at the incubi killing a few enough for a test and I hit them with the pbs and they run. Second manticore fires at the hellions and they fail their leadership and run. Chimeras on the right manage to shake his empty Raider that the incubi got out of on the right.



Opponent turn 4
The running Hellions run off theh board. Archon and incubi regroup. The left shaken raider turbos forward toward the objective which is right in front of my las plas vets. The empty raider on the right turbos near the objective. The warrior raider moves up 12. warriors inside the raider on the left fire a blaster at my vendetta but miss. Warrior Raider on the right fires at the Vet Chimera on the right immobilizing it.



My Turn 4
Vendettas on the left move closer to his objective. Company command and vets move on up towards the objective. Vendetta on the right moves to target his warrior raider. Vendetta on the left explodes his warrior raider on the objective and he loses a good chunk of the squad in the explosion. Second vendetta destroys the raider that turboed and the warriors pile out. Manticores + PBS finish off his Incubi and Archon. las plas vets on the right take down the raider that turboed onto the objective. Vendetta on the right blows up his warrior raider on the right and he loses a few warriors. The veteran chimera in the corner shoots at the warriors in the open killing one and he fails his leadership and runs.



Joseph's turn 5
Warrior on the right runs. His mandrakes come on behind the immobolized chimeraa. His warriors on the left move 6 towards the objective. His mandrakes come on on the right. warriors on the left fire a blaster at my lasplas vet chimera and miss.



He conceeds after his turn as I have squads with flamers within reach of his remaining warriors and can move onto the objectives I currently do not hold.

Result

Win for me for 20 points and +4 for modifiers for total of 24
+1 Point for Killing at least one of your opponents HQ’s.
+1 Point if your opponent controls zero markers.
+1 Point for having more Kill points than your opponent.
+1 Point if your highest VP unit(Squad/Vehicle/HQ/Monster) is still above 50% at the end of the game. (Manticore)

We finished with plenty of time and in my effort to play faster I didn't take more then 14 minutes in any of my turns.


MVP: Manticores
Manticores killed a lot since he had plenty of infantry to kill.

Oops it did nothing: everything was useful this game.

Game Analysis:
Everything went well this game. Probably should have taken the dangerous terrain to get the las plas right on the objective on the right but decided to play it safe and nab the objective later.

Nice game. Well done on the victory.

I'd hate to play an IG army on that board, talk about a lack of terrain. No wonder it was a shooting gallery.

that DE army was one of the worst I've ever seen I saw Large unit of mandrakes and didn't need to read the rest. That's an army you play to have fun with not take to a turnie. Also that board was a bowling alley. Non of that is your fault good job on the win!

Nice match but lol that terrain. There's like nothing blocking los and the middle is just a kill zone.

Ive got a question, your Manticore came in on turn 2, then fired on the same turn. Isn't Manticore an ordinance weapon, meaning it can't move and fire on the same turn?

Ordinance weapons can move an fire if they fire directly which requires line of sight. Its when you fire an indirect barrage shot that you can't move.

Also because of the lack of terrain, the tournament rules specified that trees gave cover to anything shot at in/through them (even vehicles and monstrous creatures). So there was a bit more cover than what it looked like on the table.

He won the roll, chose first turn and...started all in reserve? I guess he really wanted to give you the first shot.

Nice report, Dark Eldar have a tough time vs. IG, especially with the amount of terrain.

I was the kid playing on the table next to you. Every 1st round picture of every report i've read so far for the Conflict, you can see my opponent, but not me
