Post Game Thoughts and Analysis:

Eldar would be my guess.

Now, why would you say that? Oh, is it because its one of the toughest matchups for darl eldar? Yup. Eldar got my vote at the moment as well.

It clearly shows how Dark Eldar are a very Alpha Strike dependent army.
Had you managed to destroy 2 Wave Serpents first turn, it would have been surely your victory.

I myself have yet to face a Dark Eldar player. What are your thoughts on Wraith Knight?
He seems to be countered by DE very heavily, and also has the wrong kind of firepower against them (2 shots [no matter what strength] are not enough against DE vehicles with 5++/limit to your range)
That's why I came to a conclusion, that he could be possibly used as a bait. To lure DE skimmers into Shuriken Cannon range (24") for example.

EDIT: Hundredth post!

I like the wraithknight. I think that he does die against DE quite quickly... but if he survives, not only does he soak up a lot of firepower... but he can kill a tank a turn no prob.

I thought taking Coteaz for the re rollable 4+ seize (with Vect) is pretty good (even though you didn't need it this game).

Yes coteaz + vect is quite nasty especially in apoc.
